So did this show end in a huge pizza/heroin/violence orgy like a pizza-themed Sister Ray? Are people still recovering/is that why nobody has posted about it after it ended yet?

I know pizza was in fact passed out. Didn't go to the show but my friends that did said they had a good time.

On route to the final show; will provide a thorough rundown on Monday if no one writes one before then. It's been a wild ride this week.

The last few shows of the tour were pretty great, and it was nice to meet Bombay and Sidehatch, who couldn't have been nicer. I've described the show as a variety show, but Bombay labeled it more of a vaudeville act.
Started with much of the medley we already have heard, and free pizza. After about fifteen minutes, it descended into comedy, then a weird hipster dance break where We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel was played and synced up to videos of cats on the screen that were supposed to be each of the historical things in the song. In Raleigh, this turned the place into a near rave, but DC didn't seem to get it. I joked to Sidehatch and Bombay and my assistant that if we wanted to find out who Walkie was, just look for whomever was screaming like a fifteen year old girl over #PussyJoel, but sadly we saw no one. Resumed with more music, some full band and some solo. (Macauley's GF can sing.) Toby Goodshank came out as Nevermound which was a Nirvana tribute act that changed all the lyrics to past tense. (What else should I have been/All apologized/What else should I have said/Everyone was gay/What else should I have written/I didn't have the right at the time!) Then the full Underground came out and did several more with a short encore.
Cool kids in the band. Their rider is hilarious, I hope one leaks to the Smoking gun at some point. Required "a crap ton of pizza" and posters from the movie Beverly Hills Cop at every show. DC was probably the poorest received of the shows I traveled along for. Hopefully they're at 9:30 sometime soon.

There was also a WaPo reported holding a sign up, and when I sent my assitant over to figure out what it said – I was concerned less savory members from here may have been trying to contact me – it asked "Are you unsatisfied? If so, talk to a reporter!" This was about 15 min into the show. He was unwilling to listen to anyone who said they enjoyed the show, so I'd take his article with a huge grain of salt.

I can't believe they wasted their hunger on Manny and Olga's.

I haven't been to Manny and Olga's in a few years. Does the guy who is a doppelganger for Mike Damone in Fast Times At Ridgemont High still work there?

The venue picked it.
I did think it funny after the show there was this mass exodus to go get some pizza and virtually everyone walked right by there and went to the jumbo slice on U St instead.
Incidentally, the band had lunch at a taco bar in Richmond, not pizza.

I'll be in LA when PU plays there. $15 tickets still available. Are they really worth seeing? I would be giving up a night at a beer garden in Escondido…
