The trip down to the Bijou Cage at dawn resulted in a Standard Bathtub about an hour after I arrived, at 07:38.
There wasn't much of a wait for the morning One Burst Grand Eruption. West Triplet started during that eruption.

Back in the Bijou Cage there wasn't much to see. A bunch of large Mastiff surges, but at best a minor slowdown from Bijou itself.
Did get the Beehive Indicator call, and got over in plenty of time. Unfortunately, it was windy and the wind kept shifting. When it started coming toward me, I ran through the rainstorm to the other side, toward Plume, and was out of the rain the rest of the eruption. A lot of people got soaked.
The less said about the next Grand wait the better. I arrived to see West Triplet in eruption and not only did Rift start a one hour eruption shortly after, but Grand had a Turban Delay Interval.
For the next five hours, we had a series of Turban eruptions with short durations (at one point, less than three minutes), and varying but short intervals. Finally, Percolator recovered from the Rift activity and began sputtering away, and a Turban eruption interval the few of us who waited it all out got a brightly lit One Burst Grand Eruption.
