For some types of music, I think it is folks who are used to stadium type concerts or outdoor festivals, where standing, walking, chatting, etc. is quite common. Although I think some people have adjusted poorly to the difference in venue setting - somewhat to the effect that rows of seats are for listening, but standing or sitting at tables (with beverages) is a social setting. Even if it is in a concert room for which they've paid a cover charge and possible drink minimum. (And, like Sue, my question for these folks is always "why?" There are certainly other local or trendy establishments in which they could sit, drink and chat for less) I can understand the confusion when these things were new ideas, but come on folks, this has been the standard for quite awhile. (I love the geese considering that "highbrow" events like ballet and Met are for listening, but anything else must be chopped liver.)

Since this was a concert of Irish music, I wonder if these people are used to only seeing that genre performed in pubs, where you're pretty much expected to be drinking and talking and carrying on while the music is happening. More likely they were just stupid, but considering the type of music I wonder if that might actually have something to do with it... - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V13 #427 ***************************
