Good point. We've done shows with this show four times now and this last
show was the only time that we experienced a problem. In hindsight, we
could and should have been more assertive about leaving our stuff alone. I
guess we weren't because at first it appeared that they were trying to be
"helpful". It was only part way in that we realized that that was an
erroneous impression. We will definitely be more caution (and more
assertive) in the future. Live and learn I guess. :-)
