There's no shortage of these people who talk talk talk through the show from the opening song, then when IYCRMM starts (or one of the other 2 or 3 that they actually know) they stop and perch up and listen like its a religious experience or something.. then, the song ends, and they go back to yakkin' away..

I've become pretty adept at spottin'm early in the set, and try and diffuse the situation with a quick turn-around, warm smile, and say, "don't talk through all the ones ya don't know now."..

This usally embarrasses them into straightening up for the evening.. but ya never know though..
