I finally was able to listen to this. I think the experience (at least the first time) was enhanced by listening to the audio book instead of reading it.

I think this was my favorite part as well. I love the idea in general and also0 the Colonel's reaction when he found out that they were calling him that.
I also loved the introduction with Doug "conducting" the wake-up of the town. Lovely imagery there.
I laughed through the "witch" scenes (I can't remember names there) and felt sorry for Tom that he had to participate, although the end of that wasn't satisfying.
