people who talk at shows

A few of us went to see The Decemberists this weekend in Austin. Let me just start out by saying THEY ROCKED! Good, crisp weather, Colin Meloy was entertaining and smart (and *dreamy*), and the show was just plain terrific.

Before I even get into the actual rant, here's a tip to grey hoodie guy: if you are the tallest guy on the planet, stand in the back! And/or stand still! Hello!?! My neck hurt from trying to see around you all night.

Anyways... the guy half of the couple next to us never shut up! What is wrong with people like that? When he wasn't loudly singing EVERY word to EVERY song right in his date's ear, he was talking about how much he knew about the band. If I was her, I would have been mortified. But he was oblivious; despite people turning around and glaring, he didn't clue in. We get it! You love them! You've seen a lot of their shows! You've memorized the lyric sheets! You consider yourself an expert in arcane decemberists knowledge! You win! We give! Shut the fuck up already!
