Ironically, this is one of the "caveats" to many electronic musicians: the
venue is probably going to rain dust and other particles from the ceiling
directly into your gear :D it's actually a pretty decent arguments for

I am pretty sure, though, that if the place actually had loose tiles
containing asbestos and lead, it would've been condemned LONG before it was
approved for music shows :D
