Back in May, some people were caught with fake tickets at one of the Chicago shows. Apparently, the way security figured it out was by spraying water onto the tickets. If the tickets are real, the water will just sort of bead. If they're fake, the tickets will bubble up and the ink will run. I don't know if this is actually true, but this sort of test certainly seems like a better idea than burning the tickets with a cigarette.

"The babes, the feast, and the toga conspire to give Adam the bearing of a Caesar (one of the late, inbred, lunatic Caesars, perhaps, but a Caesar nonetheless.)"

"We're thinking of playing a show in Chicago every Monday night. What do you think? We could get a place here. Edge could open up a corner grocery. Ok, a hardware store. Larry could open a securities business. Adam could be Larry's body guard."
