Here is my story about the night we watched Illuminations from that spot.
We were the first there about an hour and a half before show time. My cousin and I took turns holding a table and 2 chairs. It got really difficult as time came close so we both stayed there the last 30 minutes.
People started filling in standing behind us, some coming very close.
Just as the show started I felt someone brush my upper back and shoulders with their hand. I didn't think anything of it, thought they may have been pushed. Happened again and I turned around. Dead pan faces looking straight ahead. Then I felt a hand on the back of my neck and they kept it there a couple seconds, kind of massaging it. I jerked forward then spun around. I saw the guy pull his hand back and then he yells, "Oh that's okay, I don't mind!" I yelled even louder-HUH?! YOU don't mind?! Buddy, if we were anywhere else, you'd be on the ground right now and you better take off because I'm reporting this to security. He quickly left. Someone next to us said they assumed he was my husband. I never saw the guy in my life.
So that's what I'll always think of when I think of the little terrace next to the R&C. Some total stranger psycho trying to give me a back rub.
