   We didn't cut our show short, rather the wrestling show did, which to me   
   demonstrated why showing off and Music really don't mix!!!

   I've done that before in years past. Maybe I'll have to do it again.

   I already know it's a major challenge to tolerate anything stuck in my ears   
   for any amount of time...but when that's combined with an Idiot operating   
   the mixer and I still can't hear myself clearly, it's unendurable...but   
   maybe, just maybe, if I can set my own levels, I just might have a chance   
   putting up with IEMs...but that's the Only way!

   If I could actually hear myself, I'd certainly try my best.

   I seriously doubt IEMs could even begin to damage hearing anything like   
   overcranked amps can...particularly if those overcranked amps generate SPLs   
   great enough to wash out the signals coming through in the IEMs.
