-It was up there with Key West, only with sturdier furniture. That first night I was sleeping on the bottom bunk on the bottom floor, when I awoke at 3am to find Drunk Moon trying to negotiate his way into the top bunk. If you’ve never experienced this, don’t. At that hour, you awake and remember only that you are somewhere in California, where a giant is unsuccessfully trying to stuff himself into an enclosed space fit for a toddler, right above you. Not all parts of Moon seemed to fit into the bunk simultaneously, but he didn’t care, he just kept on cramming himself in there, with the bed frame creaking. This seemed like a strange end for the Big Show, with Shawn having to call Carol with the news, “Look, the way he died was fucking weird. But the fellas all chipped in on what may as well have been his last words, a la Malcolm X, for his tombstone, “I didn’t land on the moon.
