Before going in, I went to buy a bottle of water, and people kept cutting in front of me in line. The barman laughed at their jokes and looked like he wondered why I didn't want a beer. The ticket checker knew me and nodded me through the door to the auditorium. I found my seat, hung my coat on the back, sat down, and put my bottle of water on the floor at my feet. During the concert, the two women behind me exchanged exclamations after each song. Afterwards, I talked to the singer and the pianist about "Down By Law", and they told me it was their favorite movie. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 14 November 2025)
