What impressed me at our audition was how the staff treated everybody. We were all treated equally. Even if the performer was good, bad, excellent, weird or other -- there were no remarks that differentiated us. The audience was equally as polite.
I'm glad you were treated well. I've been very conscious of doing that, as well. I tried hard to be friendly and supportive of every act equally, and the sound crew did, too. My hope is that, win or lose, every act can say that they had a good time. That's what this is all about, anyway....
