I think I would've wanted the poncho zone seating though, but that might just be me.

and @ Pete:

I just turned 30, so I'm not that old: I saw Gallagher in the early 90s, which is why (I suspect) it felt stale. To Pete's point about getting stuck with a command act: I could have taken or left the watermelon bit, which he closed with (understandable as the audience was lost halfway through, and the poncho zone seating was only worth it for this 5-7 minute bit). The rest of the performance was just kind of off point: when a topical comic goes off point, he's lost what the political parties refer to as their "base," and we all know that once your base are belong to us, you have no chance to survive make your time.

[I just voluntarily, automatically lost for the sake of "all your base?" I must be an idiot.]
How high-minded that I'm tipping my cap to the audience in a discussion of the fourth wall???
[cue Chapman: "and don't talk to the audience!" There I've gone and lost again]
It's all very meta... Forum posts: the next step in high-minded social commentary (though it will be short-lived as tweeting will replace forum posts within 6 months).

PS. Honestly, I've just gotten to that point in sleep deprivation where free association becomes more like loose association, just before you get to dissociation, and at the moment, I'm not inclined toward self critique.
