Man, you still sound really touchy and offended, and for that I apologize. I
will stand by my points, though - I sat in Rodan for two hours (not one) and
never learned that the show had started until I left and saw someone
standing near the turntables and a laptop running Traktor. Maybe you should
invest in a cheap mic to say nothing more than "Hello, welcome to our show,
I'm ____ and I'll be spinning some ____ for you tonight."
