$ = during this track, someone kicked over my left mic stand, and it was reset after about a minute.  I made the recording mono (thuogh I delayed it by 1/100th of a second to give it a slight stereo effect) during this section (from 5:45-6:48).  You'll probably never notice unless you listen closely

I hand scrubbed claps from T2(7 claps), T4(1 yell), T5(4 claps, 1 yell), T7(13 claps,1 yell), T10(17 claps), T12(3 claps), T13(89 claps), T18(3 claps), T21(1 clap), T23(3 yells, 24 claps)
