Caption: Figure 2.

Detailed optical-IR light curve covering much of the first night after the afterglow, demonstrating the exquisite time sampling and overall goodness-of-fit of the model. The earliest-time PAIRITEL observations are saturated/nonlinear and uncertain (see Section 2.1.1); these are not included in fitting or modeling.
