So, no talent show this year; no bardic circle scheduled nor space set aside in the literature for one. Instead we had a few "bands" come and sing/play for us at the "Stone Soup" which nobody could hear over the roar and screaming of the inconsiderate and uninterested audience.
I sat right in front of the speaker, next to the soup pots, and I could not hear anything the singers sang--- the audience was that noisy. Why the bloody hell did the singers / bands even bother?
Hint to Ops for Dragonfest 2010: DON'T BOTHER SCHEDULING BANDS, NOR AN AUCTION, OR ANYTHING AT ALL, DURING THE "STONE SOUP." It is utterly pointless, and the few people who want to be entertained by the bands or singers will always be drowned out by the vast majority in the audience who scream to make themselves heard over the PA system.
