The shoe drops

Ah, there she is:

A much more con- ventional view of the Sush, in the shoe, dropping at midnight.

That bright light in the background is John Zarella's vantage point for CNN, and somewhere at top right in that sea of little faces are Robert, Ken and Ben. Not moi. I have been trampled, shoved, poked and jostled quite enough at these things; and if I'm to witness a mad scene, it's gonna be Lucia under some nice proscenium.

Still, Robert says it's the best New Year's show he's seen in our little Pink Triangle. Considering it's only a block and a half from the house, I'm surprised I couldn't hear more of it from the porch.
