Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam at the Aragon

They set up chairs on the dance floor.  Eddie Vedder said he had always dreamt of playing there.  But in his dreams, there were no chairs.  He encouraged folks to fold up the chairs and pass them to the back.  The crowd gleefully complied.  The bouncers were not pleased and commenced with the bouncing of people.  Johno was one of those unlucky souls.  I was shocked when he was hauled off, but chasing after him provided no solution.  Back to the show I went.

Smashing Pumpkins were boring; the Red Hots were not.

I don't know how or when we met back up with Johno after the show, but clearly we must have.

I could have sworn this we went to this show after the other time I saw Pearl Jam, but the internet tells me that is not so...

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mary's Danish, Raging Slab at Ritz's

It would be super-hard to drink without elbows.

And sticky, too - if you were, say, trying to drink apple cider out of a gallon jug without your elbows...
