Wrap up:
Successes
- Kotobukijishi as long haul music
- core crew of 5 on Alphonse with additional cyclists
- calypso with Andy and Blaine (cyclists following!)
- yatai bayashi trailers
- TerraTrike-compat. axles by Andres
Not-so-successes
- reliance on downtown "hub" for stationary taiko (JANM plaza is expensive!)
- insufficiently-welded tow arm (no tack welds!)
- improper tracking of trailer steering system wears tires. Need engineer.
