Upcoming concerts

[epilogue]

As far as the phone stuff goes... from an audience perspective, it's easy not to use your phone if you don't want to. I never pull my phone out during shows. Very good friends of mine do sometimes. I think we both have whatever experiences we want to have. So, I agree with the "let people have the experience they want" argument.

But I also can't speak to the artist's experience. As a former performer, I bet there is something to phones being a barrier. I have a few experiences where that has been the case, even for me in the audience. And I do think as a culture we've forgotten how to just sit int he moment and be present with a piece of art. So, I see both sides of the argument.

I have no issue locking up my phone for Phoebe, but I also see how it's an inconvenience and maybe over the top. Honestly, in my experience, people talking non-stop during shows is way more of a barrier to enjoyment. But that may also be a New York thing.

perhaps artists should have the option of duct taping their audience's mouths shut

I’ve only had one experience where talking was a distraction (JADE, the party right behind me was yell-talking constantly and the music wasn’t drowning it out). Usually the music is so loud I can’t hear anyone.

I was up in the air depending on the outcome of the NBA Finals, but should be a go for Goose at MSG on Friday. Would have been Game 7 and I didn’t want to have to try to manage midtown Manhattan if that game was happening at the same time. Glad that series is over for a number of reasons really.

going to see underscores tonight with my 16 year old daughter. it's at a venue where they typically have late-night edm/raves. i'm going to be the youngest one there by about 25 years.
