I want to share a particularly fond memory from this show, or, rather, from after this show. Turns out 9/21/88 was Yom Kippur, and I was fasting. As the show began to wind down with the setting of the sun, I was damn hungry and looking for fellow fasters and anyone else who might feel the need to eat an entire day's worth of food in one sitting. I think I started talking to Jared, and from there word went around far enough to get something like 6-12 of pointed in the direction of nearby Little India. No idea who was in the group other than Psychner and, I'm almost positive, Ethan (so maybe Lila as well?). All I know is that we picked a random Indian restaurant, I said something about being hungry enough to eat everything in the place, and Steve ran with it, gleefully shouting, "bring us one of everything" when the waiter came by. Said waiter didn't miss a beat, just collected the menus and wandered off. A few minutes later we were still laughing about this, wondering what the upshot was going to be, when food started appearing - and it didn't stop. Dish after dish rolled out of the kitchen onto our table, and we all stuffed ourselves silly on a truly ridiculous amount of food. At some point someone finally realized that food costs money and LOTS of food probably costs lots of money, raised this issue with us, and a wee bit of worry rippled through the group when the waiter finally showed up with a bill that we figured could be just as shocking and absurd as everything else about this meal. People were starting to note the collective paucity of cash when we noticed that our feast came out to less than $10/person. Insanity. Best fast breaking ever.
