I was really looking forward to dipping into the Philip Glass Q&A and coming back to report the Stupidest Question. Turns out I'm the sucker: The questions were uniformly intelligent, considered, familiar with Glass and his work, and Glass himself answered each one at length in a conversational, familiar tone.
Ran over to see San Agustin, and while it as a welcome relief to actually see and hear a drum kit, overall I was less than impressed. Nice set, great tone, but a little short on dynamics. Glass was out having dinner at Cafe 4--woulda stuck around myself, but the wait was an hour.
Next: Antony and the Johnsons, local metal/noise (and probably metal noise), Matmos, The Necks, Dan Deacon. Subsequent reports may suffer from the influence of alcohol.
