But then, I remembered that I never went to concerts at the Pier because they were just too expensive ... and I remembered the talk of establishing a no-boat-zone on Lake Union to keep people from *gasp* hearing without paying ... and then I remembered that I love runing down to Gasworks to hang out on summer evenings. All of these things make me more critical of the (seemingly rushed) decision to move the series to Gasworks.
