No argument there, but I think the point is that Alec & co. weren't so poorly behaved in SF. My gut feeling is that they didn't have enough time to get as thoroughly drunk before the show here ... methinks they enjoy a wee drop or two, so anyone who goes to a future show should endeavor to keep them away from the bar. Anyway, myself and everyone I knew or spoke to at the SF show thought that it was great fun, although having never heard much of his material before it was all fresh to my ears. I can certainly see, though, that without the proper buildup, Shizuo could have been really irritating. --Seofon
