In the East Village, in front of Leshko's, I once saw a guy with a squirrel running up and down this guys' entire body, chattering madly. The guy simply said "I'm ferm da south, and the critters love me." The squirrel was in complete control and delirious.

Krys O.:

What a stupendous show! The ART Records story was fascinating. Listening to Ronnie Prophet helped me doing household chores.

And I second the idea of checking the exits when one is at a nightclub. There was a disastrous fire at a club in my hometown in 1974 where 25 people died. Eric Carr, later of KISS, lost two members of his band to the fire that night.
