RE: A poll--shoes off?



One of my bands does put down an area rug.  For one
thing, it's nice to run all your cables and put a rug
over it because it hides the cable mess.  The only
visible cables are the ones going to our instruments. 


Plus when you supply the floor, you always know what
you're walking on.  =)
