Ha, Wednesday night's open mic was "the attack of the 15 year old girl and her legions". It is a brewery so nothing to drink for those folks, but they have a food truck! So while everyone else was playing, the crowd of 15-20 were yucking it up and talking and drowning out the open micer's. When she got on stage, he was a quiet as a pin drop ( a guy next to me said something nice about her to me and he got a couple of death stares from a couple of teenage girls -- ha, ha).
Once she was done and the next open mic guy came up -- noisy again. It really didn't bother me too much (someone who brings 15-20 guests to an open mic gets some leeway), but one of the guys who played was mad. He couldn't believe how rude they were. I said they don't know they are being rude, they are just oblivious.
Now a performer like MAB would have handled them and had them eating out of his hands, so it really goes back to that saying "your job as a performer is to make me turn around".
