A basement       or upper level venue with one exit is to be avoided at all costs.              I was in Germany in an old, walled village while visiting my son and       noticed that a hotel I had booked had only one exit and lots of people       smoking cigarettes in a dance hall in the hotel. The rooms on upper       floors had windows bricked up. The place was a fire trap, so my wife       and two of our kids decided to find a different hotel and write off the       cost of not staying at the fire trap.              --       "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of       doubt, while the stupid people are full of confidence.” —Charles Bukowski              "When guns are outlawed, only foreign invaders and the government       officials that invited them in will have guns."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
