yo, everybody, chillout! wouldnt you say that going to
a music show is somewhat like going to see a movie? In
most cases, You pay money to see and hear the
performance. Arent you disturbed when people speak
over it? Especially electronic music, which is more of
an audio experience than a visual one.
THat's my personal opinion...i think there's 2
solutions to this problem:
a. provide an area of separation between the social
and performance spaces.
b. blast the fuckin music so there wont be any probs
w/ people talkin shit over it..haha@!
