    John Cage Night - Queen Elizabeth (Shoulders back!! Chests out!!) Hall

    The opening act was someone holding up shreds of Latex and selling it as an explosion.

    4' 33". You can't pop the same balloon twice.

    I had a feeling there was something wrong but couldn't figure out what. A woman behind me said at the end, acknowledging something but not failure, "It's a museum piece." But later on it came to me that in fact it was the audience that were made, chose to be, were being a museum.

    The programmer scheduling 4' 33" curates the audience.

    Did people actually pay to go to this, or was it free entry?

      I paid. The hall was full and correctly described, like a Pistols reunion, as "a sell-out". Dunno how many got in free but 3 behind me for certain.
