1)I paid over $20 dollars in BS charges. I don't know the profit margin for Ticketmaster, but it has to be near 300%.

2)Hollywood will be too crazy for my newly slightly agoraphobic self - so I'll be on Valium :) (Got to get a prescription from my doctor next week.)

3)Vegoose is Halloween WEEKEND. That means the weekend before Halloween.

4)Stepin Fetchit's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is on the same block as the Avalon. it's up Vine about 8 stars. Just past his star there is one for Marlon Brando.

5)The Mitch Hederg Comedy Central Presents special was filmed at The Avalon (when it was The Palace.)

6)I saw Devo perform at the Palace the night (actually two nights) they recorded their live album "now it Can be Told" on 12/9/1988. That was the first time I ever drove up to Hollywood, the first time I ever *met* Devo, and the first night i worked (very briefly) for the merchandise company that was doing the Devo shows.
