I've been going to conferences for 20 years. Not one person I've spoken to enjoyed the loud music during socials. In fact, almost everyone tells me that they'd rather have no music at all. They just want to have conversations with other people.
@afilina The only music should be karaoke. Which should be in a separate room to spare those that aren't up for it.
@Crell @afilina We had Andy McKee play a show at php|tek one time, in the evening. That was a fun time; people who weren't into it hung out elsewhere.
@sean @afilina That was the year I was there! I still have one of his albums. He was good, because it wasn't overwhelming and easy to have a conversation on the other side of the rotunda.
