Me? I'm a cranky fat bastard spending my own money, I call it like I see it. If I like the show, I compliment it, and I have. If I thought it was a waste of time or the venue sucked or whatever, you know I'll call that too.

My advice on shows in general remains the same, now more so than ever. Combine business with pleasure. Make sure that you choose shows where you can at least have a good time, eat some good chow, even if the show sucks. My worst cast scenario is a tax deductible vacation. I can live with that.
