i had told an online friend of mine about jason the last
time he was in denver, and she managed to catch just
the last song of his show that night.  on the strength of
that one song, she drove an hour and a half to see him

it appeared that they were all there to see jason, since
the place cleared out immediately after the show.
maybe they all had to go home and see their mothers.
