I don't think SF Civic was as big as 13000; I remember hearing figures more
like 10000.  Anyway, the official figure for the size of wherever they're
playing is being quoted as 14000.

Some folks are even upset at a show this big...but what the heck--it's hard
enough to get New Year's tickets; maybe this will ease it up a bit.
Besides, this is another big 20th anniv. party; I think it's nice for them
to make an effort to get more people in.  (Sometimes you want a small,
intimate party; sometimes you want a big blowout.)
