First the artistic note: in His Yoke is Easy - where we have been asked to insert the eighth rest between "his burthen" and "is light" many of us are rushing - coming in too soon with "is light" after (or, actually,) during the rest. Make sure there are eight eighth notes in every bar (even with the added rest). It would not be a problem if we just sang what Handel wrote, but we must do what we have been asked accurately AND expressively.
Now, the important stuff:
If you are going up early to eat, or looking for someplace to go after the concert in Hammond (I think these would still be open at least until 10), here are two personal favorites:
They are within half a mile of each other, basically on or just off Highway 51.
Cate Street Seafood Station has San Francisco quality sushi at Hammond prices. Best sushi I have ever had (with the exception of an event hosted by the Japanese consulate, but that's another story...) Ask for the cowboy roll (not on the menu, but they'll make it if you ask). For casual surroundings and GREAT food, this place is the bomb. I sometimes drive to Hammond just to eat here (plus my friend Keith Davis, the luthier [look it up] lives and works here).
