Idiots At Concerts

The night before last I went to see Night Ranger at the BB King Bar and Grill in Times Square. The concert was fine but we had this drunken idiot in front of us. This guy who looked like Patrick Moraz from Yes, wanted to constantly fist bump with everyone around him to the music. Then he was air guitar playing and wanted to air guitar with different people around him. I just shook my head when he looked at me but he kept coming to me for some reason. Finally I shot him a real ugly look and he finally backed away but he was falling all over people around him. He fell on some poor girl at the table in front of him. I am surprised her boyfriend didn't knock him out but this guy continued acting obnoxious.
Towards the end of the show, during "Sister Christian" he was pumping his fist in the air to the chorus and almost hit someone in the eye. Then for some reason he felt the need to remove his shirt, an act which finally brought security over. They made him put his shirt back on and signalled to the bar to cut him off from drinks. During the last song, he was jumping around so much that finally security grabbed him and took him away. I wish they had done that a lot sooner. An idiot like that has the potential to put a damper on a good show. It amazes me how some people even if they have had plenty to drink, they seem to think everyone around them is entertained by their antics.

  1. i'm still laughing at what would have happened if he actually went up to you and put his arm over your shoulder....

  2. Yeah, he would not have had a very nice evening and would have had a problem to accompany his not insignificant hangover the next day!
