PG is still pushing the envelope. He doesn't surf the crowd anymore, but for his Growing Up and Still Growing Up tours (2002-2004), he ran around the stage in an 8-foot high transparent plastic ball (a Zorb), turned his cameras on the audience and performed "Downside Up" while hanging upside from stage rigging 25 feet above the stage. I saw him at Madison Square Garden in November 2002 - I had some of the worst seats in the place, about 5 rows from the top of the theatre. His use of the stage and screens made me feel like I was completely involved in the show, despite my distance from the stage. His charisma filled the whole arena. If he tours again, it's definitely worth the price of admission. And I remember an eBay auction 3-4 years ago for a beer bottle containing PG's backwash and left over beer. No idea who the winning bidder was.— August 14, 2008 8:03 p.m.

Great story! I wonder where all those socks (and shoes) ended up . . .— August 13, 2008 7:18 p.m.
