“I can’t remember a Weenie Roast,” I said to the Lakers fan who sat down next to me, “when at 5 o’clock the lawn
still isn’t full.” I had just stepped away from the end of the Airborne Toxic Event’s first strong showing at a big KROQ event &ndash no knock on the fast-rising L.A. band, but a guy’s gotta eat sometime. The dude in the Lakers jersey had the same bad idea: chicken kabobs, burnt and fatty.
Looking up from the concourse, it was impossible not to notice &ndash a long, wide strip of green way up high at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, where normally by now there’d be nothing but a sea of faces.
