  • cxl; if the article were dated 4/1 it would make more sense. It reached John Hedonist, head of MCABRE. He says it was set, they had the field house for Saturday night, but didn't clear across campus. "It turned out that there was a meeting of the Scottish Dancing Club set for that night, and they were adamant. Naturally, we had to back down." He goes on to say that GD refused to play in front of guys wearing skirts, quoting Garcia "We like freaks as much as the rest, but we draw the line at skirts". Hard to know if there's even a kernel of truth in this, but here it is.
