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.
