curiosity tookover: Just howopen mindedthese Tucsonees reallywere. Usually little-town-

narrow mindedness met meat the door. Safer to hidebehind someone elsesideals than stand behindany of your own. Place after

place, yet I was told thatTucson was different.

Decidingly, I went to test aTheory: If the city of Tucsonwas what the talk had made

only tinted 60s Popculture.The true col-ors lay in the charac-ters sprinkled aroundthe room. Friendlyfaces, bold charac-ters and in dismayexactly what I washoping for: FreeThinkers.

The dance floor, much toosmall for such a big sensa-tion (not to mention thamount of people), neve

felt uncomfortable. Although at times it seemedcramed, too close focomfort was Warholthing. Wasnt it? The crow

Productrion, but shealso reminded methat were all humanwith a empoweringgesture of friendship.

The festivities onlyseised for about 1ominutes as a as-sumed Warhol imperson-ator tried hard to sush thelively crowd. I found thisquite amusing (and diffi-cult).The Warhol characterhad already caught my at-

Ending the nights entertain-ment was a a sliming cermony,

were Warhol began empty acan of tomato soup dramati-cally on to Dallas head. Thisproduced very weird emotionsin my gut. Tomato soup andclose strangers touching eachother. I only once afterwardsaw Warhol he had the re-mains of tomato soup remains smirred down h

chin,mouth area and frontside. He slowly shiftedthru the despersingcrowd.

Lights go to blackPOP, Pawhaus, andtucson, dramtically prov-

ing (if only to myself) thathere is such a thing asindividuality.
