So as part of my 'farewell tour' of Columbus venues I have been buying two tickets to all of these shows and giving one to a good friend, just my way of saying thanks and goodbye. Well, last night I went to see Tim Easton at Little Brothers, my all time favorite spot in town and I took my friend who shall remain nameless...but her initials are TESS!I got SO upset last night...and i am laid back...probably laid back to a fault, it takes a lot to really upset me. But tread on my favorite music or my favorite musicians, and you push my buttons. For the second half of his set,this is a small place and we were RIGHT up front,she spends TEXT messaging with a friend. SO disrespectful! I have so much respect for people who choose to make a living making music. There are so many easier ways to get through life, but these folks are doing what they love. Especially people like Tim Easton, who are not exactly getting rich by playing to half empty bars on Tuesday nights.I ask you, how hard would it be to just walk back to the bar area to have your all important text conversation. That would not have offended me at all, even though I bought her ticket...playing with your cell phone why a guy his playing his heart out on stage is SO NOT COOL.OK...thanks for reading and letting me vent...feeling better already and moving on...and of course I have a song for the occasion

Both of those scenarios are simply awful and yet I see the same thing here at pretty much every show. Why do people bother to go see someone perform and then not pay attention and groove to the music?
