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.
