it is a small beef. dipped in a nice thai, sour sauce. i love everything national. it was my fault for having an open container i know this . . . but i got slipped into the "used to" of drinking out of red cups before shows (including both nights warner) and not having anybody say anything. sort of the same concept that hippies have with the nine thirty. at "most other" venues, if you get busted with pot or smoking it, they take it and tell you not to do it, where at the club they throw your ass out.
