Rex Foundation: Sweet Music Everywhere - December 13th

On December 13, The Rex Foundation will once again fill San Francisco's Warfield for an evening of music, connection and helping. Bring your friends and family for some dancing in the streets to celebrate what the Grateful Dead started 25 years ago and all that we can do together in the next 25 years.
Billed as "Sweet Music Everywhere," this festive evening features Peter Rowan Family & Friends, Jackie Greene, Michael Kang with Panjea, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, The Brass Mafia and more.

Sweet Music Everywhere will be another special gathering in the tradition of Rex Foundation Warfield events that started on December 1, 2001 with the benefit concert, The Healing Power of Music, to launch the Rex Foundation's renewal.

Concert Words

Tonight on the bus ride home my mind began to wander, as it's often known to do, to words associated with Concerts.

I put out a note on Twitter:

Thinking about concert words: soundcheck, setlist, setbreak, encore, house lights, stage, crowd, PA, mics, monitors, soundboard, what else?

Quickly the responses started coming in through the various communication channels:
