Earplugs ($20 for a box of 200)

Food / beverages
- water (some people don't drink tap, so you'd need bottled water ready)
- steam-in-bag peas! (to keep people's energy up)
- cheese? (to keep people's energy up)
- alcohol (to get people to relax, and to attract people)

Issues to research:

What is the ideal volume to set the music at?
- Have people turn up the volume on earplugs until they report it starts to hurt. Make sure the test song has some of those spikes that are more painful, even if the rest of the song isn't painful.

What kind of light equipment should be used, if any?
- disco ball?

What is the ideal temperature? And how will you maintain that temperature?

What is the ideal number / density of people? And how will you maintain that number / density?

Should you hand out any anonymizing clothing?
