DO NOT BELIEVE the people who say the spiked cider night was Friday 5/28 rather than this night, Saturday 5/29. It was not. There are many, many independent and contemporary sources showing 5/28 to have been canceled and 5/29 to have been the acid punch show. Memory is tricky, folks, but in this case the data do not lie.
