Bog people RE: [SCA-BMDL] interesting upcoming lecture at CMNH

[Ruth Morrisson]

Greetings from Myfanwy!
Hmm.  Alastar and I saw the exhibit a couple of months ago, after 
Pennsic, and I don't remember the noise level being particularly bad, 
with the exception of the hands-on forensics stuff at the end (and that 
was only because that area was fairly crowded, being on a weekend).
I may not be as sensitive to loud noise, although I always thought I 
was.  People who have the bass turned way up on their car stereos 
really irritate the heck out of me, especially if it's making *my* car 
(or house windows!) vibrate.
