very true..

let's just wait and see what the papers say about the show.

honestly, quest is one of the biggest hypemachines. he might've been
hyping it up too much. the way he tells a story, you WANT to believe
him. if all had gone well, (t)his hype would've paid off i'm sure.
but from what i hear it didn't. and that'll cost you.

too bad. i hope they're not too down to make this second night work.
