Also Present:

Problems: 

SISPI error at beginning of night prevented us from executing any exposures or loading any scripts.
PML error: "failed: flavor".  Restarted SISPI.  didn't work. Finally, the amazing and omniscient Klaus Honscheid
 fixed the bug and we were on sky and taking data a bit after 18 deg twilight.

SISPI closed after we saved a file in vi. Observing continued uninterrupted.

Last, but not least, we were plagued by high clouds. We got some useful data during the first 2/3 of the night, but observed clouds for the last 1/3. 

The kitchen sink is still not functional.

I had to fill out this web form twice!!!! grr.
