I could be wrong here since it has been over a week since I glanced at the
aforementioned setlist, but my recollection is that the writing on it was not
that which we've all come to recognize as coming from Linford's hand. So it
is certainly possible that it was simply Karin leaving a note for herself,
but then again, I wouldn't be able to distinguish her handwriting from any of
the other people in the band (not including Linford).
