I'm sorry to hear it wasn't a good time for you! But I absolutely get it. I really really love dancing in fursuit and have been to other nights when it was maybe less rammed than Animalz, and having a big doofy fursuit head provides some ear protection. That said, this is my third CFz and they've always seemed bad to me on sound adjustment. Just too loud and the bass cranked up ridiculously high that it's impossible to make out any other part of the music much of the time, like a kid with a subwoofer in the back of his cheap car who's turned the bass up as high as it'll go because they just want to rattle windows. I get that it's a rave but when people just talking into the mic at the opening ceremony feels like it's shattering my ribcage, it makes me think the audio balancing might want some reworking.

Gosh I sound so old. ^^;
