Hee-hee, well it's a pretty ritzy neighborhood, for one thing, and a special tent had been set up for the event, and vendor tables for various purveyors of "high strangeness". About 200 were in attendance, garbed in whatever was in style before they "yuppied-up" and who'd paid, I think $25, to be there. Having been to Maui, I knew the free backdoor route. RH, of course, was sartorially resplendent in his timeless 1958 Robert Hall mile-wide-tie collegiate attire. Had an interesting conversation with the guy who does the
"play-it-backwards-to-hear-what-the-real message-is" thing.
When I brought up RH still---it's about 10:30PM now---hadn't revealed anything yet, he just grinned and smiled, "Yah...". It was a crowd who seemed to adore him, he was the "star", and a good time (there WAS liquor, it WAS his birthday, there WAS a cake) was seemingly had by all. Sort of Mad Hatter-ish fun with no startling revelations to muck up the works, and a chance to actually see the voices in person who one had only heard over the radio up til then, interviewees and callers-in alike. Just my opinion, if anyone else here was there, it would be good to hear their take.
