i wonder if brentwood towing's rapacious, insidious, avaricious,
abusive towing work had a hand in the demise of the brewery. on nights
when there was a big show at the brewery they would swarm around with
several tow trucks, stealing cars out of unmarked parking lots. i got
towed from a Grover show in summer of 94 and swore i would never go
back to the brewery. and i never did. i can't be the only one who made
that decision. bb
