It's a Concert, not a Frat Party! (aka Don't be a Douche Bag)

Over the weekend my wife and I went to see one of our favourite bands, Squeeze, at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. It was a beautiful night, and we had fantastic seats. Second row Center. Working on our second bottle of wine, we were having a great time. Right before the show started, the party of six with seats right in front of us showed up. Heard the guy in front of me talking, and he said he didn't know a single song by Squeeze. WHAT!?! You're sitting front row center and you have never heard of the band?

OK, so maybe your good friend brought you to the show. That could explain the lack of knowledge, but you shouldn't keep talking about it.

So, Squeeze starts up, and the guy keeps talking. Finally the crowd gets on their feet and starts dancing. What does this Douche Bag do? He starts doing the White Frat Boy dance, with his back to the stage. Holy Shit this guy is a douche! He continues to do this the entire show. Well, except for when we went to get another of whatever his type drinks at a Winery. Probably Vodka and Red Bull. I know he probably thinks he's real cool, and likely has his friends convinced of the same. But guess what Bro... You are a Douche Bag. AND... you have inspired not one, but two bits of advice.


If you find yourself at a concert where you are not familiar with the artist's music, don't keep talking about it.

and...

Unless you are at a wedding, or a nightclub where the band is playing covers, NEVER dance with your back to the stage.

For what it's worth, we still had a fantastic time. Squeeze was, as always, amazing and the night ended too soon.
