Personal Bias: I wasn't about to pass up the opportunity to see Roky for the first time.
The Crowd: A bouncing mixture consisting of regulars of the 3700 block of Main Street and some genuinely curious kids.
Overheard In the Crowd: Whoops, hollers, and some shouts for several songs from Roky's catalog.
Random Notebook Dump: I can tell people for the rest of my life that I once sang "Happy Birthday" to Roky Erickson. How cool is that?
