The third time we brought a bunch of strange things to use in our set: jars filled with shells, homemade tambourines, toy guns, and aluminum cans. We got a bunch of audience on stage to do sort of a "noise drum circle" thing. So we start barking at everyone to play faster and faster. By the end everyone was literally breaking **** on stage. The guy running it had to call an intermission after the set. He made my friend and I clean up, and the offenders didn't help a bit. They all "had to go" and just disappeared until the next act came on stage. The guy running it wasn't impressed and basically said that we weren't welcome back.
Dude... that's awesome. I want to be in that circle.
