This happened when The National played a few weeks ago at Hienz Hall. Two different groups behind me kept talking loudly throughout the songs. It was incredibly frustrating.

I’m that guy who politely asks them if they can be quiet. We were in the second balcony level for The National and I’ve never seen so many people get up so many times for drinks during a show.

Some guys were talking loudly in another row, and a girl behind them pulled out her phone and put the bright light on them from behind until they stopped, turned around and said “what the fuck?” She was like “I’m sorry is that distracting you?” I swear this was such a great solution, but I don’t have quite the balls for that!

I think I was sitting by you! There was a ton of drinking and people being obnoxious at the show. I turned around and full on stared at a woman who was basically drunk shouting during a song. I also didn’t have the balls to tell her to STFU. She left shortly after.

Next show we can get a block of three tickets and I can be the designated shamer.
