	The last time I was there they sold alcohol, just beer and wine
I think,  at the ballet and symphony but no at the special events.   I just
assumed it was they were afraid  of crowd problems if people were drinking.
	I'm also curious  about what they do at the Knick and at the
Colony Tent (or what ever its called these days.)  Do they also sell alcohol?
Do they let you bring in your own of anything?  I wonder if they think they'll
have more problems at SPAC becaue people are not in an inclosed space. 
What is the policy at Tanglewood?  I've only been there for the symphony
where you can bring in coolers.  Is  SPAC any different?
