I just got back from the L.A. show. That was a good time. I was situated about 4 bodies back from the stage. There was a guy behind me who felt that myself and some others nearby were too rambunctious. This was not thrash-level activity, mind you, we were just dancing in place. He didn't want any movement around him at all. This guy actually summoned security. The guard just looked at us, mumbled some perfunctory warning and left. We didn't change what we were doing but I was still nice to the guy. He ended up coming around, I think he even felt like a dork in the end. It was so lame.

It takes a good while to get your car back after the show if you park it at HOB. I met a guy that came out here from back East just to see the show. He had been a fan since the early 80's and never got a chance to see them before. There were also a couple of guys from England with a similar story. Devo did not disappoint.

I hadn't seen them since the early 90's and they were as good as ever. "Gut Feeling" made me verklempt. I couldn't take it no mo'. At some point Gerry came out to the valet zone. I guess someone was smoking some substance or other near the stage and he was chuckling that his brother got a bit of a contact buzz from it and forgot what he was supposed to be doing up there. They were heading to The Standard. It was late so I headed home, I'd had my fill. It was a great show.
