    A question for you US cultural hisorians ...

    When John mentions "Twenty-six-forty-nine Colfax Avenue, 8 years before" to
    Bob and Sylvia, whilst they're all basking in the post-wine-and-fish inner
    glow at the DeWeese's and Sylvia says let's not talk about it, but John
    makes a knowing remark to Bob about the quality of the evening with friends
    ...

    Do we know specifically which Colfax Avenue, which previous friends' party
    they're referring to ?
    Is it an allusion, or direct reference, to Jack Kerouac's night in Denver in
    On The Road ?
    Anyone know the significance ?
