Regarding your "where do all of these people come from/go" observation...we had a similar experience after crashing a Ryan Adams show at the Elsinore last year. We were next door having a few drinks (appaently a few too many...) when I suggested that we just walk into the concert, sans tickets. Why not, I figured? We opened the door and marched in decisively, right past the elderly ushers who were chatting in the corner. They didn't seem to notice...anyhow, I digress. Once inside, I spent most of the show looking around and wondering..."where are these people during the day???" I'm not a huge Ryan Adams fan, but it was a nice diversion for the evening.
