| It was an event. Since neither of us were there we can't have an accurate count of how many stood, how many sat, how many hovered. I was at Bette's (supposed to be) final performance and everyone within eyesight stood. One is obliged to stand even if one doesn't feel the urge because if you are seated you will be watching someone's backside while Hello Dolly is being sung.
