(i.e. too loud, too > mid-rangey, too shrill, trademark deaf stuff) I know this has been brought up awhile back by Jon Drukman, but PLEASE people bring some earplugs to these events! It's hardly a problem to put a couple earplugs in your pocket before the show and they cost only a few bucks. When I felt the sound getting too loud at the Ninjas show I put the plugs in, simple as that. Granted, the highs get cut a lot, but it's so much better than feeling like you have cotton in your ears for the next couple days and then have high pitched tones invade your ears periodically for the *rest of your life* from Tinnitus. Just do yourself a favor.
