As for RMing the Wall, my preshow prediction was spot on. Rm was swamped with older patrons that had 1 hit or had a nibble of a brownie and hadn't imbibed in a spell, and got knocked on their butt. The whole psych crew showed, which was a bit of a bother as I had hoped to be more under the radar, then the next thing he knew, I had a posse of a dozen people following me about as no one else knew the venue very well. It took me some quick stepping, but he managed to shake all but one, which was fine as I was planning to proctor that one in from the get go.
I caught the start of side one all the way to Young Lust, then got busy thru the break. Caught nobody home (which I've always adored as a writer's muse song, even thought that's not it's original meaning) thru comfortably numb (which, well, I imagine even you more sober DOOMies know what an anthem that is), then some more calls. Wound up outside the venue, waiting on a hummer limo for these two guys from Santa Cruz - one of whom was too drunk. Their company sprang for the limo, and it was a party yacht on wheels - disco lights, full wet bar, could seat 20 people easily, and got 7 mpg. It was a funny conclusion to the show, but I would have rather watched the trial.
