DDR - Dance Dance Revolution

We went to Lane's semiannual dance-a-palooza last night. Sometimes these are fun. Fortunately, they keep them to around and hour.

My comment dovetails into the standing ovation and three curtain calls at the Wilberg Requiem the other night and the behavior of the crowd at the Sean Hannity and Rocky Anderson debate last Friday.

Utahns don't know how to behave in an audience. At the debate people were constantly yelling things from the audience.

Last night, same thing. They cheer on their dear little Johnny or Susie like they were at a basketball game and hoot at every chance. I'm sorry, the performance isn't about you or your little kid. They cheer wildly and fawn on their kids as if they just won an Olympic Gold Medal. These are the same people who wouldn't know the difference between a William Hung and a Kelly Clarkson.

I'm afraid Ailsa bore the brunt of it. The most vocal and loudest fan was seated right behind her. Too much wooting. Too much people.
