"Sit down!"

As one might imagine, there were a number of people of Italian descent at Festa. In relation to a post I made about people standing at concerts . . . I sat in the eighth row near the edge for the Dennis DeYoung concert. It was a perfect seat for what I could get 20 minutes before the show. Well, as always happens, when Dennis came out everyone stoop up. No big deal, you expect that. After the first song you expect everyone to settle down and sit down, though. Nope. In fact, a bunch of people started standing on the bleachers. Well, that didn't sit well (pun intended) to a large group of 60-somethings sitting in front of me. The women proceeded to beat . . . yes, BEAT the people with whatever they were holding to get them to sit down! YEAH! I was cheering them on! They had a bit of clout as a few of them were talking the Dennis' wife before the show. Who, by the way, is beautiful up close and . . . wow, rather endowed. Nice work, Dennis!

Anyway, from that point on while the front few rows stood throughout the concert, the rest of us enjoyed the show in a perfectly good seat . . . sitting down.
