Those that contribute set the tone. Those that are silent do not.
There are rather simple avenues that you -- yes you! All of you! You know
who you are! -- can personally take to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
I suggest that you gather your allies, foment mass insurrection, and retake
the theater lobby. Instead of throwing popcorn at the noisy rabble, though,
perhaps a more surreptitious approach might be taken. Subtle invocations of
rapture toward preservation of the gilding of the theater lobby ceiling;
weighty treatises on the relative merits of various poultices' efficacy in
regard to drawing the splattered "butter" stains out of the marble wainscot;
evaluation of preferential methodologies for bubble gum removal from the
patterned Wilton carpet; artistic asides analyzing Mucha posters and more;
dramatic discourses on the paradigmatic designs of Rapp and Rapp.
And for COD'S sake, please please transport us to a lobby in Chicago. Or
LA. Or perhaps an Eberson atmospheric in Akron. I'd host it here in
Raleigh, but the bastards tore down all the really good theater lobbies.
Just a thought.
