If you go to the end of the video, as it pans out, it looks like there were a lot of empty seats...
Dammit, I had to go back and look. Way less than half full. After renting the place, food and travel, paying the other guests(?) how clould he have possibly broken even? Does he put these on, is it a Dumbheiser Production, Premrat, someone else?
Does that mean George was lying when he said seats were almost gone?
