Plague that is cell phones

[monkeybard]

This is for anyone who ever goes to any sort of theatre--live, movie, outdoor, whatever.  CHECK YOUR CELL PHONE BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS.  People are so plugged in it just kills me.  And a little note to those who forget to check their cell phones:  If someone else's goes off, the performers (and other audience members) would rather hear the soft scrambling of half the audience checking to make sure their phones are silent/off rather than hear a second cell phone ringing from somewhere else in the house.  Gah!

Otherwise, last night was a Thursday.  Not great, but not awful.

So you were there that evening? I wasn't sure you'd made it since I didn't see you after. Sorry you had to be there for that phone debacle. I loved when someone in the audience yelled at the guy. I cannot believe he actually answered the thing! That's what really kills me.

Yes - I was there that evening. I'm sorry I didn't stick around afterwards; I had to get up early the next morning so I kind of needed to boogey home. I enjoyed your performance, but it was certainly interesting being in the audience. Aside from the phone idiot, there was some chick sitting near me that was reacting as if this were real, making out loud comments and such. Kind of annoying. She must have moved after intermission, though cuz she was not in the same spot.

But definately unbelievable, to answer the phone and then talk to the person on the other end!

I think she moved to the seat behind Alan. He said it was like having a DVD commentary at a live performance. LOL and yet Gah!

He's right - it was kind of like that. I was glad she moved - it made it hard to hear you guys sometimes.
