Mark said, at the time, that it was one of his favorite shows. The producer of the event, the invaluable Susan Joyce, somehow convinced the city to let us close our little street and the gang went to town. a couple thousand people showed up including police standing on their cars for a better view. The fire dept was very cooperative and Pauline knows exactly how to go up to the line and back off before everything just gets too big. It was the literal last gasp of the arts district before condo-ization took over. We moved out the next week and the sidewalks and street lights were in place within months.
