When we were leaving, there was a column of riot police stretched across Whyte, heading to sort things out. It made the news the next day, I don’t remember exactly how many people were arrested and how much damaged they caused, but there definitely was some violence.
Wasn’t this also how The Strat caught on fire? Grease fans were far from ####ing civilized during that run.
