'I was at Seattle Mime Theatre in November 1997 and rented to 14/48.  I participated the next time and did the 8pm show.  It was fun and I was done.  I was getting dressed and getting ready to leave.  I heard the rest of the folks coming in saying "Oh, I can't wait to cathc the 10:30 show!"  I really can't believe that was how I learned there was a 10:30 show.

And I invite the band to take the first shots with me.  You guys are amazing." (LOUD APPLAUSE).
