jianantonicThe Michael Clem show was great. Since most of my readers who'd care to hear about it were there anyway, I don't feel the need to go into detail. But it was a fabulous experience. Except. I don't think I can do the sitting in the back thing again. I sat back there because my buddies were videotaping the show and had to be in the back. It's not that I'm a front-row snob (though I do love those seats), it's that the people in the back suck. The people behind us at the bar were noisy and the people in front of us - the FAMILY section - were talking and moving around the whole time, making it really hard for me to find a comfortable viewing position. And from that arose this letter:
Dear bitch in front of me last night,
Why did you dress up like you were going to the opera? Seriously, who needs that much expensive jewelry at once? And at a folk concert? Please. It's dark, you won't be seen, and when the lights did come on at the end, you were the first to leave. Why bother with such show? You deserved to lose your ring because you're a pompous biotch for wearing it in the first place. And I certainly don't appreciate your assumption that I was responsible. I saw how you turned around and glared at me every few minutes. Bitch, don't even go there. I wouldn't be caught dead even trying to hock a gaudy old lady ring like that. Maybe you didn't notice the 3.5 carat diamond I already own. You didn't? Oh, that's right, because I'm not so pretentious that I would feel the need to wear it to a birthday bash! But thank you for telling me on your way out that you did find it, or rather, that I was off the hook. Boy, was that a relief! I hope we never meet again.
Sincerely,
Meg
P.S. Did you realize that because you were so bent out of shape poking around for that godawful ring, you were the only person in the house not giving Michael a standing ovation? And you were in the family section! You should be ashamed of yourself.
P.P.S. Remember how I said it was dark and no one would see you? It's true - it was too dark even for you to notice that I was a full foot taller than you. I loved it how you scooted your chair back so far that I had to sit sideways with my feet in the aisle, while your feet didn't even touch the floor. I'm sure if it had been light enough for you to see things like jewelry, glowers, or whole people, you would have been more considerate. Don't worry, I understand.
xoxox
I may not be a front row snob, but I am a concert snob, and nothing pisses me off more than someone who comes to a concert and doesn't even attempt to appreciate it. Next time, I'd like to have that ticket if you're not going to enjoy it, and I'll bring along someone who will cherish the experience.
Anyway, the show really was fantastic, and the best news of all was that I heard EFO is confirmed for FRFF 2006!
Kerry, Jeremy, and I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning discussing all our hopes and dreams for this year's fest. We're almost at the halfway mark...but it's only seven days until the EFO show at the Birchmere, and we've added another festival to this year's schedule. Herndon Fest in June - *someone* told me they were courting Girlyman....
Peace.
Edited for clarification: The ring the lady lost was a giant fakeass QVC POS. She did, however, have on about $20,000 worth of other jewelry that evening that may very well have created a blinding glare on Kerry's videotape, thus ruining his day as well as mine. But not really. We both had a grand time.
