Nice call AM. I have noticed that whenever dinner is stopped because we all
are forced to "enjoy" some bardic or somesuch people tend to get surly.
On the other hand I have see some wonderful feast entertainment. One notable
was a three-act play of "The Lion in Winter" and feast served between acts.
Wonderful! But generally I like background music and such and conversation.
Plus watching the hijinks of various Peers often messing with the Royalty
is dinner entertainment in itself.

Yers,

Gunthar
