    Few things baffle me more than throwing a party for a few hundred interesting people to talk to each other, and then hiring a DJ, so that they can’t talk to each other.

        The dose makes the poison. Moderate level of background music is fine.

        1- Ignore surveys. Pple think they prefer restaurants 1) quiet so they can tawk, 2) roomy, 3) no line. Yet they flock to 1) loud, 2) cramped restaurants 3) w/50 min wait. Never ask pple what they want, watch what they do. Revelation of preferences. #SkinInTheGame
