Just to echo a few of Kate B's comments - before a show performers are typically stressed. I see this (almost) every month at my concert series. Especially if it is a performer's first gig at a particular venue and/or for a particular promoter. Some who have come across very uptight before the show turn into party animals afterwards. :) -- ######################################################## Steve Dulson Costa Mesa CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The Tinker's Own" http://www.tinkersown.com "The Living Tradition Concert Series" http://www.thelivingtradition.org/
