After there were queues round the block, reputedly, at the Roundhouse the other week for the Reverb concerts, I've been wondering just how much of a difference it makes if you are allowed to take your drink into the auditorium...
Do you think audiences should be allowed to take drinks into classical concerts? I've set up a poll on my old blog site (which has an inbuilt widgety thing that makes it easier there than here) so that you can give your opinion. Please pop over to it here and you'll find the poll at the top of the sidebar on the left. Voting is open for a week, finishing at 1am on 11 February. You can only vote once. Thanks for your feedback, and I await the results with interest!
