sorry, this is an almost buying a ticket for, post. I cannot believe that just yesterday I was pulling pit and various 100 / 200 / 300 seats for the dead and company. Not sure if I want to go . . . just to see how the lot works on one of these shows now, is worth it, though.
I would think a last minute, pre warm up of, "surprise, Julian at the . . ." would be in order to send him to the parking lot of the show at Nissan, not even needing to be going to the show. A sound check of sorts, to the actual real next, Julian event . . . where he interviews people, gets great tape and see what foolishness he can get into. Nice.
