to me it was unbelievable that people were selling and inhaling nitrous ballons right in front of warner before the show. not on the sides, but right out front. it got as cheap as 3 for $10. warner had people sweeping up the spent ballons off the sidewalk.
i watched the so called "mafia" at both shows slinging their wares. they reminded me of that gang of circus freaks from the second tim burton batman film. it was priceless. i saw a guy fall into a full seizure right there on the sidewalk from a balloon. nobody around him knew what to do except freak out and just stare . . . with their balloons in their hands . . . while still hitting them because hey, "they were already paid for." the guy just stopped seizing, got back up, sat back down . . . and somebody handed him another balloon.
like i said before, the scene can sometime ruin the band. like phish.
