By all means. It's an interesting trade off between the barn and the dance 
tent in terms of stagnant and circulating air. Some nights in the barn the 
stagnant air from the dumpster/burger fryer joint/people smoking was making 
it hard for me to breathe, hate to think of what the wind instrument 
players were going through.

One big problem we had in the tent was the downpour night, and wetness was 
creeping in on us. I think we dropped the panels near the musicians than 
night, if it's going to make life easier on the musicians it could be a 
standard procedure to leave that corner of the tent down at night. Thanks 
again to Filip who did some jurry-rigging of the flaps.

To be fair, the barn leaks too (remember 2nd Friday of last year?) but 
we've got a bit more buffer in the barn from the outside.
