Does anyone visit this venue on a regular basis?  Is there often a problem
with the crowd being too noisy and competing with the performance?

My girlfriend and I attended the World Music Festival event of 9:30pm on
Friday.  The crowd standing near the entrance/exit were very rude to the
point that the performance on stage could not be enjoyed.  After 20 minutes,
and asking a few people to "keep it down", I went to the table and asked for
a refund and explained why.

What was really disappointing was I asked a woman dressed in a long flowery
summerdress and appeared to be someone in charge, if something could be
done.  She gave me a "I don't give a rat's ass look" and said tell them to
be quiet and walked away.

The whole experience was disappointing, and I'm wondering if Hot House
should be avoided in the future.

This sounds pretty typical of my experiences there, although all were several
years ago.
