For all those seeking silence at the event,

and a reprieve from bass/bullhorns/whatever pisses you off, I'd like to suggest noise cancelling headphones. Portable silence just where you need it. You can even listen to your own soundtrack with the other playa noise filtered out if you so choose.

You can get what you want, without trying to tell everyone else what to do and getting frustrated when they don't comply.

Screaming at the Ocean

Post by Mister Jellyfish Mister » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:09 am

Maybe their complaints are an important audio backdrop for the rest of us. I was camped accross the street from Hushville and I must admit I enjoyed tweaking their nose from time to time. Still, I used my earplugs every night for some deep and restful sleep right there near the road. Some of them remind me of my daughter who was two when she screamed at the pacific ocean to leave her sand castle alone.

Budhist Monk to Master: "Why do you keep scooping that scorpion out of the pond when it stings you every time?"

Master to Monk: "It is a scorpion's nature to sting me. It is a master's nature to try to save him.

I'd suggest a couple of pairs if you want to cuff & hogtie a raver dj with 'em.
