As we marched down Thayer St. on our way to the bash, approached now and then by stragglers holding up a forefinger or asking outright for a scalp, we were soaked by a light, steady drizzle. Under yellow streetlight that glowed fuzzy in the fog, talkative groups were moving toward Brown’s athletic complex. The venue, as far as I could tell, was a hockey rink. When we arrived it was past eight, and a few hundred people were milling outside the entrances in a peaceable and disorderly clump. The lines, such as they were, weren’t hourglassing very fast, so I reckoned that security was tight. I was surprised when, a long fifteen minutes later, I was admitted with only the most cursory of frisks. It would have been child’s play to smuggle in a flask of rum, a water pistol or–more to the point–a portable DAT recorder. To judge from the frequency of flash explosions during the concert (and the strong whiff of buds in the air) plenty of people made the most of the relaxed security. I can’t wait to hear the bootlegs.
