Dear Past Your Prime Hoochies,
I realize you may not have known that Gordon Lightfoot would be a sit-down-and-be-quiet kind of concert. I say this because when you walked in during his first song and thought you were cute with your loud and feeble attempt at cuteness with your “excuuuuuuuuuseeee meeeee” you looked surprised when I glared at you. I say this because when you finally sat down your quieter companion was still pounding her remarkably over-sized cocktail. I say this because when he did play the songs everyone knew and came to hear, you would not SHUT UP. I say this because your gal-pal nodded off (helped, no doubt by her rapidly consumed cranberry looking beverage) halfway through the first set. I say this because you slumped down and passed out during intermission while your hounds tooth coat wearing cohort dropped an airbiscuit while attempting to escape your companionship.
For the love of all things good and calorie laden, please stay home next time. Not only did you annoy me to within an inch of your life (you can thank The Mc later for trading seats with me), you were an embarrassment to women everywhere.
Thank you.
-Me

Maybe they were the winners of CL’s singing contest?

I have to admit, I had a similar thought…

while i have been known to fall asleep at more than a few concerts - in my defense, it was usually sleep-deprivation, not alcohol consumption that was the cause. i also try real hard to be a quiet snoozer. this kind of thing really gets under my skin too - makes my blood boil, if you want to know the truth. what i really love is when the aggravating person within earshot wants everyone to know that he/she knows ALL the lyrics by heart and insists on advertising this fact by belting out every line at full volume, so that you can’t hear anything else. makes me want to sever some arteries.
so i say amen sister.

Sure it’s the sleep deprivation, K. Sure it is.
You just reminded me of the guy behind me who was tapping his foot in time with the music ON THE BACK OF MY SEAT. I think The Mc was scared I was going to have a meltdown (I may or may not have started rocking in my seat) and reached back and grabbed his ankle. My hero.

hee hee! bless him; that was a bold move!
okay, so maybe alcohol has contributed a teeny bit to my naptime, but i at least don’t snore (or so far, no one has TOLD me that i do).
