And don't try and make people stand up from their nice comfy seat, and move to another fire that's going to take a while to get warm. John;... Hey Dan

And don't try and make people stand up from their nice comfy seat, and move to another fire that's going to take a while to get warm.

Amplification is key. I often find myself drawing comparisons with the circus. You can't just rock up to town with a tent and expect everyone to come and see your dancing bears...
