Main courses are similarly diverse, both in terms of their geographic heritage and their gastronomic success. The fried shrimp scatter ($15.95), an abundance of battered shrimp (think the entire contents of Bubba’s boat from Forrest Gump dumped into a deep-frier) served with remoulade and cocktail dipping sauces as well as french fries and coleslaw, was top-notch. A Cobb salad ($11.50) was tremendous in more ways that one, a fresh and vibrant mountain of different colors, tastes and textures. Herb-crusted salmon, however, was disgustingly oversized, eerily suggesting that the fish had been raised...
...summer for those orders were only about 5%, a big improvement over the nerve-jangling 10% to 15% rates last year. Comparably low cancellation rates are starting to register for the first quarter of 2003.

Thousands dance to one beat in the main hall, the rest scatter to smaller pavilions with different themes or spill out into the open-air quadrangle. Volunteer dancers?men wearing tight pink shorts, women in body-clinging vinyl and hairy guys in leather?gyrate on stage to work the crowd into a bacchanalian frenzy. Pop stars perform throughout the night?and morning...
