I wonder if Mara Corday was there? I know exactly what Kirby means.

I don't think she was slamming the show so much as she was making an observation. I've been at these shows and experienced "surreal" moments myself there. You only have to see one fawning, even weeping fan in your life to understand what I mean. Doesn't mean the shows aren't fun, they are.
