     Well I spoke with the bands ^[sic] crew outside along with everyone else. I also spoke with VNV who said that although it was technically possible for them to make noise come out of their band inside the black cat it was going to be a horrible effort for them to do it AND I also spoke with the Apop guys who said it was technically IMPOSSIBLE for them to play at all.

     So if you hate Apop so much, why the hell did you buy it? I love it when people try to impress with vitriol by setting up a scarecrow and then knocking it over.
