don't knock it, aaron's space is very successful. also one of the more
unique concert experiences to be had. there are assumptions and ground
rules at any kind of performance - even if it's just "don't climb on stage
and piss on the band" or "please remain seated during performance so you
don't distract the orchestra." i think "be quiet because you are
listening to quiet, nuanced music" is extremely reasonable and not
lecturing at all.
