A very educational seisiun
July 24th, 2012 10:47 pmThis evening our weekly Irish music session was particularly informative.
I learned:
1. A mnemonic for remembering the difference between the tunes "Silver Spear" and "Silver Spire".
2. Everyone's middle name. (I mean, not everyone everyone. Just all the people I play music with. Who were at the pub that night).
3. Male bathroom etiquette
I did not learn:
1. A graceful way to respond to the audience member who accosts you in the bathroom and says "By the way, you're really adorable. Like super adorable, like your mannerisms. I'm just sayin, it's a really good thing I like guys." (Failing a more graceful response, I said 'um, thank you,' a few times, as well as "I'm glad you liked the music" (Er, she did, right?) and then shut myself in a stall).
2. The identity of the woman who started talking to me as soon as I shut the stall door and woman A left about how weird that was and how she'd have had no idea how to respond. You and I were on the same page, mystery woman! But I never saw your face. Because bathroom.
[Obviously I told all the musickers about the strange encounters in the loo, which is how I learned that conversations in the men's are much less common].
