that would be a solution, but I've gone to see Loren Conners and he starts right on time. Marina Rosenfeld didn't even show up until after 5 after 8 due to a "sick baby". So 50 people x 30 minutes is 25 hours of life was sucked out of us! Thats a lot of time, The Time Vampires work is very subtle.
Appreciation for the passage of (my) time is something new that has arrived after turning 40. I think perception of time changes as people get older.
At least the proprieters kept coming out and apologizing for the delay.
Its just annoying to intentionally get there on time to get a good seat and then you have to fight with this huge herd to get in.. I just think if the performers need so much time to set up they should get there early and not make us wait. We're the customers and they treat us like a doctors office - like our time is not important and can be wasted.
Tonic used to do the same thing and it made me mental - its the main reason I don't have a gushing memory of Tonic. I can think of a million things I'd rarher be doing with my precious resource of time than waitign around. And I'm sick of trying to have congenial 10 minute instant freind conversations with people waiting, the last time I tried that the doofus wouldn't stop talking to me during the show and ruined my tape, tried to move and then got in a fight with some cocksuckers but thats another story...
the one thing I appreciated is they didn't blast stupid music during the down time. It is a relief to have some silence and not have to shout to be heard.
I want to support this DIY endeavour wholeheartedly, you know?! Wow that neighborhood is going to change like crazy over the next couple years. Great investment opportunity.
