The acoustics were indeed bad, but "normal" levels of
talking * the largest indoor event in the kingdom ==
inaudible.  The fuggheads who kept talking (and some who I
had hoped would know better, like N-year high-ranking
people) were annoying me to no end.

I was at Atlantian 12th night the weekend before.  700
attended.  There were mikes -- cordless.  When it was
audible, it was distractingly modern.  Mostly it was
inaudible.  The royalty mumbled lowly.  The heralds were
mostly OK.  People in court were totally inaudible.  I think
it was a Bad Idea.
