For future reference, if you want to know anything about this series, please ask 
me. It's been my baby for almost 4 years now, before I even began working as The 
Rotunda's coordinator.

Anyway, David Gerbstadt won't be at the March 19 show. I want to give the 
audience a break. :)

Why could you not close your eyes at the show?  I noticed several people doing 
just that. Also, I leave an open space in front of the stage, so that people can 
lounge on the floor and lie all the way down, if they wish. I also noticed people 
doing that. I'd love a donation of comfy chairs so that those not wanting to lie 
on the floor could still relax. Please let me know if you ever come upon these 
treasures!

Personally, I love the oil projections. I do not like his slides, and have 
encouraged him not to use them. Artists usually request him, or at least are fine 
with his work. Some, however, bring their own films (like Sharks with Wings, the 
2nd band, did). If a band requests no visuals from David, he stops. 

I also agree with your comments on the buffet.

thanks for coming!!!!

I wonder if the performers ever ask him to, you know, stop with the projections
while they're performing?  I know I certainly would if I were performing there.
His projections are incredibly distracting and he doesn't appear to put much
thought into matching what he's doing with what the performers are doing, so
there's no... what's the word, synaesthesia? going on.    

It's unfortunate that it's nearly impossible not to do one of 1) close eyes or
2) watch projections.

The ministry of inside things were awesome, no doubt.  Oh and i forgot to tell
the chef that it would make sense to put the condiments AFTER the rest of the
food given the direction of the queue.  The way it was set up, it was plates/
cutlery -> drinks -> condiments -> salad -> entree -> dessert.  So you had to
finish the line and then butt back in at the condiments area to season the
food.  Plus you had to carry your drink with you down the line, which almost
guarantees spillage at some point in the evening.
