Pretty much anytime TSP is in May the weather is bad.  Nice during the 
day but cirrus coverage at night.  The April ones are more the typical
"summer pattern" of cumulus during the day but clear nights...even though
you are still having freezing nights <g>.  After May, though, it is too
hot.

Even those that left on Thursday and Friday were complaining about the
wind.  Whether they were on 90 or I-10.

Oh, and BTW - Tony Hallas' prints made quite an impression, with even Ed
Szczepanski saying "the darkroom is dead" <g>.  This from a guy who doesn't
even believe in having someone else do the developing...
