Attendance figures for May, 1995 concert in Toronto

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know the attendance figures for the concert at Varsity Arena in Toronto, on May 6, 1995?

I was telling my daughter and niece about the show, and I don't recall the crowd being very large. My friends and I arrived after the opening act, bought our tickets from a scalper outside, and were able to walk in and get very close to the stage without winding our way through a crowd.

The tickets were general admission, and I've read Varsity Arena has a capacity of 4000-5000 people for concerts. I think there may have been 2000 people, but honestly, my memory about the size of the crowd is pretty hazy. I was focused on the band and the music.

Was anyone else there?

Weight limit for CST Cito tires?

I ordered some cheap road tires from Amazon last week, and got a surprise when I opened the box. I was expecting some no-name rubber, but found a pair of CST Cito tires instead.

These seem to be pretty good: 207g each, 170 TPI casing, anti-puncture layer, and a rubber compound that performs well in wet and dry conditions.

The only catch is a couple of reviews state a weight limit of 70kg, while I weigh about 100kg. I don't see anything about a weight limit on the CST websites I've visited, just in these reviews. I would be using them with a pair of Easton EA50SL aluminum wheels, with a 20/24 spoke count.

Does anyone have any experience using the Citos? Especially heavier riders like myself?

It's bigger than a breadbox, it won't fit in your mailbox

I'm trying to find the name of a song with some odd lyrics. I think it was a 1980s alt rock song, possibly from a band connected to the Athens, Georgia, music scene of the time.

The line I remember is something like: "It's bigger than a breadbox, it won't fit in your mailbox, and it's something you can use!". The lyrics weren't really connected, and sounded like a stream of consciousness. The delivery was more spoken than sung. I honestly can't remember what the music was like, but it was just sort of playing in the background, not really connected to what was being said/sung.

I was a big REM fan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and sought out other bands from Athens GA.

Does that sound familiar to anyone?
