I've been going to these concerts in the park for the past few years. At first it starred as a way to get away once a week from the here's that I lived with. It was tricky coming home and not running into them, but I like my new neighbours enough that it's not something that I worry about.
Every two weeks there's a classical local civic band, and one a week starting in July there's a band that plays either rock, country, blues or even opera. I tend to go to them all, aside from the real country and kids concerts. I am usually the youngest person there besides when some people bring their kids of grandkids. I hate it when they just run around and scream while we're trying to enjoy the music. I wish they'd leave them with a sitter.
I bet there's a lot of the same people that go to these biweekly shows and yet I never seem to recognise anyone. I always thought I was good st remembering faces. Maybe I have to know them, or see something memorable about them.
There's enough seats for everyone, in the 3 years I have been attending I have never seen it packed and yet week after week people still bring their own chairs. It really bugs me when they put the chairs in between the aisles, and not on the grass that is all around the benches. Just one of my ways of telling the rude people. Another way for me is the bus test. That's when they sit on the aisle seat, not the window seat, or they stick a bag next to then. That's fine if it's empty but when it starts to fill up then move you morons. I shouldn't have to stand because your purse needs a bus sear. Pay for two seats then.
This one older man in particular turned into the star of the evening. There's not usually music played before the concerts but tonight there was. He was right up near the stage dancing away. I don't know how he liked to be up there that close to the speakers, it's pretty loud. But if he's older then maybe his hearing is starting to go.
It was a more interesting night then most, we did a trivia test, I didn't win anything. There was also a moment of teaching us how to rumba, no thanks I've embarrassed myself enough this week.
