I concur! 3 separate shows I saw in Minneapolis were like this, and
considering I only saw 5 while I lived there, that's pretty bad! It was
more like a social gathering of the Twin Cities Hipsters than a bunch of
people out to see someone play music. They all stood around in groups and
chatted to each other, not even nodding their heads or paying any attention
to the music, bar speaking over it. I was like "go to a coffee house if
you want to do that!"
