Listen up. If it's a club with no chairs (like Bowery Ballroom) boogie all you wish. If it's a concert venue with chairs, for God's sake keep your ass in it and don't make me watch you sing and sway. I've paid my money to watch PATTY sing and sway, not you. Period.

You're right again - no harm was done, but the conversation was getting to be a bit silly, and a waste of my time to even delete the posts. > Your post however, was intended to hurt peoples feelings and give them a "bad" > feeling....hrmmmm....peculiar. No, I never intended to hurt anybody's feelings. If that was my intention, I can be downright nasty and vile, and I do a very thorough job. I thought my post was quite even-tempered and nice. > Jess~ I assume the "next" key is the delete key - I use it too and VERY FREQUENTLTY. I didn't have a problem with the first 10-15 silly, light posts that you talk of, but I really got sick of my mailbox being jammed with nonsense. Enough said. When it becomes a private conversation between 4-5 people, it's time to go private. That' all. This is my last post aboput this subject, because I don't like wasting my time and energy on this or cluttering up peoples mailboxes. And don't bother to point out the irony of me posting publicly after I urged you to post privately - I only did this to reach the maximum No. of people I could.

All who will listen~ I saw my first Patty last week, with a stage rowed in lit red candles and her aura permeating through the smokey and hazy bar. It will probably be right up there with my marriage, first kid, first time, etc..all those special landmarks that let you know that you have lived a bit. I remember midway through the first opening act (Herbert, the oh-so- painful),Patty walked in, and the entire audience forgot lil Herby was even singing. We were able to drown out his nasal, painful (Don't know how we did it, because I had been trying to do so the entire set! No matter how many beers..it was like a bee buzzing in my ear.) voice, and the whole audience watched as she bounced to and fro, tugging on her bandmates coats, twirling her hair around her fingers, and just being Patty, the goddess we all know and love. The funny thing was, Herby noticed it too. He looked at the audience, made a double take, saw what we were all looking at, and then he realized: Patty had entered the building. With raised eyebrows and an F-flat that was more flat than it was an F, he welcomed her into the building. As if she even needed it.

Nobody up, feeling the music. Not that we didn't try though...kept getting doused in a light shining from a flashlight, held by a really big man that I really didnt want to mess with. The bar's security was actually discouraging it...felt like I was stuck in "footloose"...major bummer, there is only so much you can do sitting in a chair, bobbing your head, especiially at a Patty concert. Patty knew it. When the few of us, the rebellious ones, (just call me James Dean!) got up and danced anyway, ignoring the shots of light and rude comments, she smiled and said cheerfully, "It's okay with me if you all wanna dance." That's Patty for you, isn't it. - -Lil' Kate ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 14:06:03 -0500 From: "Kunkel, Robert G" Subject: MM: RE: To sit or to stand. > If it's a concert venue with chairs, for God's sake keep your ass in it > and > don't make me watch you sing and sway. > > I've paid my money to watch PATTY sing and sway, not you. > > So...what about the people who paid *their* money to sing and sway to Patty? I've always been torn on this issue. Personally, when I feel the urge to dance that's what I'm gonna do. To me, nothing gives me a bigger rush and just a natural high than cutting loose at a concert and dancing my ass off. Since I am actually quite considerate of other people, I do feel bad if I may be blocking someone's view, and I always try to fit myself into a gap in the sightlines when I can. But, I also feel I have as much right to stand as anyone else does to sit. I paid the same amount of money (if not more thanks to Ticketmaster) as anyone else, so I have as much rights as anyone else there, right? I do admit, if the majority of people are sitting though and it is a 'slower' kinda feeling concert, than I will sit too....and I can still have a good time. Bottom line: I don't want to make other people unhappy, but I don't want to make myself unhappy either. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 12:39:14 -0800 (PST) From: mike smith Subject: MM: DANCE YOU SILLY BOY!!!-said patty One time I was talking to Patty and she said, "dance your dance. Sing your song. Paint your painting. It was almost as if she were giving me permission to dance, sing and or paint at her show! Well I dare someone to tell me that my fumes are bothering them at the next PG show! Word up y'all!! Let me give a shout out to Howard. Howard is on the mic and rockin' real fresh!

Shawnte' - one who loves to close her eyes at Patty shows, and only a few others. and when I do see another person with their eyes closed (obvoiusly when I have mine open) I say to myself, gosh they look so beautifull and what they must be thinking and feeling even that much more serene ;-) ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V2 #350 *********************************
