On the other hand though, I played at a museum a while back. It was pretty good except for the handful of people asking for stuff which obviously didn't fit in with what I was playing. I've looked at playing in places like that as a challenge to get a handfull of people to dance even though that's not necessarily why they went there. Besides, certain settings can put you in a position where you are the first person to play "techno" to a given audience.
playing in spots like museums and art galleries and the like is always pretty nice, you can get totally crazy if you want to and it is all good. essentially, you can decide if a non-club gig is gonna be interesting just by figuring out the reason they want you to be there. if its to be an artist or to enhance/create mood or atmosphere, its good. if they want to lure people in to buy product by appearing "hip", its bad news. tom
