Various high-end steam vehicles were parked in front of the Black Rose Theatre, with civilian patrol flyers buzzing around.
The three-meter-wide "Giant Lake" poster by the theater's entrance had been torn through by some troublemaker, leaving a long gash that fluttered noisily in the wind.
Sharp criticisms and provocative thugs had also caused some impact on the performance scene.
The fervent fans from around the world who followed Dorothy all the way to San Francisco retained their enthusiasm, but the theater still had many empty seats, as numerous local spectators refused to watch the Giant Lake performance to express their dissatisfaction.
