The bus was totally hijacked by 60 sixth graders, I'd say. I only counted 1 or 2 "bus" poets actually reading -- Erin was good, but I wasn't sure if not to count her as local talent :) . Kudos to Mathias, Sarah, and Matt for holding up the reputation of the Nebraska poetry community wonderfully. But where were the bus people? :) How about giving Omaha a stop on your return trip so the bus can really do it right, apparently like you did in Lincoln? IMO.
