So, DR JoseSPiano, hope the pit "regulars" are treating you as one of their own by now... 
Is the "Paul monologue pigout" a continuing tradition?
As for the regulars... Well, a good chunk of them are on leave for a few weeks since they're playing
Gypsy over at City Center (under the baton of
ACL's MD, Patrick Vaccariello). However, the regulars and semi-regulars that are there have welcomed me with open arms, and open boxes of cookies and pastries.

As for the "Paul monologue pigout", well, lately it seems that we starting snacking before the show, then during the show, then during Paul's monologue, then after the show. And when I'm on Key 2, I'm actually done a good two minutes earlier than everyone else, so, if the mood strikes me - and it usually does - then I go ahead and snack then.
