Re: OTR audience response

From my perspective the audience seemed to be in such awe that they were 
left sort of dumbstruck.  It's was kind of like, "Ok, we can either fall 
down and worship or stare intensely at this fleshly angel so that she can't 
fly away.  I know that I was perfectly content just taking it all in, 
although the emotions moving through my body longed for expression.  I do 
agree that a certain reverence was called for, but also felt slightly 
stifled, as if the audience was a bit too polite.  I found myself wondering 
what would be an appropriate outlet for what I was feeling.  Dance was one 
answer, but again the crowd's attitude wasn't condusive to self expression.  
Of course sex would be the only way to truly fullfill an Over the Rhine 
experience, but only in the purest of forms.  If an audience that size ever 
could express the emotional love feast that OTR creates it would become a 
dance like no other.  At least in my estimation and imagination.
