Actually, I take that back--there was one other Asian guy in the place, but he had a notepad and kept complaining to his friend how he'd never heard of this band, and that he'd rather cover the Mode reunion. Half the crowd had the look of a Whitesnake-Nelson doublebill audience, and the other half wore the J. Crew + Birkenstocks attire that infested the HORDE festival.
