Misc. Info
Some other tidbits from the performance include:
- Jian kept telling the sound guy to turn down Murray's mic. The sound
guy couldn't tell if Jian was joking around or not. Jian said that
the sound guy is new and can't tell when they're joking.
- Mike kept insisting that the kitchen of the bar had a large "vat
of fat".
- Fans came from Florida, NY, Canada, and Michigan, to name a few, to
see this show.
