III: Unthwarted By The Law


We waited outside for a while (hey, we had nowhere else to be) and watched the security guards surpass themselves in delusional self-importance. They told the little crowd that the bands would be coming out the parking garage, or that they had already left. The security guys didn't know why we were waiting here, they said, we'd already wasted half an hour and why didn't we just go home, tuck ourselves in bed, and read a book? (The preceding is a direct quote.) As Katherine asked repeatedly afterwards, has anyone ever actually listened to that? Presumably it must work sometimes, or they wouldn't do it. But it's kind of a thin story when the tour buses are parked right across the street. Better luck next time!
