Wow, I was at this show! Probably the third or fourth time I'd seen Cat Power then. Guv'ner and Bardo Pond were also on the bill. Just when the lights went down for Cat Power's set, someone screamed "The Yankees just won the World Series." (They did in fact just win the 1996 World Series, beating the Atlanta Braves.) Also during the Cat Power set some guy in the audience fainted and smashed his head hard on the floor. His friends immediately pulled him out of the main room. I'm not even sure if Chan noticed, they were in the middle of playing and the guy was towards the back... Such great times then. Next time I saw Cat Power was with Chavez at the new (at the time) Bowery Ballroom. Then after that was in Tucson, AZ (where I was going to college) at Club Congress with Fuck and Smoke (NYC.)
