And my eyesight is fine, so it's not just me. It would be great going through the cards at someone's table and being able to see everything perfectly fine. Most larger venues are lit from (way up) above, so that's the origin of the problem. One show I went to was tantamount to being in an office building with light streaming in from everywhere via the windows. That was frickin' beautiful.
TOO TRUE. It was the one major complaint with my big show. Never even thought about it when they showed me the room we were using until the day of the show and I kept asking them to turn the lights up!
