People in Flowered Shirts Shouldn't Throw Dirt

Last night was the Rufus Wainwright/Ben Folds concert at Wolf Trap. The concert was amazing and the performances were definitely on.

The one irksome point in the evening came courtesy of the couple who's picture I snapped. Why is it that suburban Dominionites, a) Look 10 years older than they really are and b) throw a wet blanket on any fun the moment they spot it happening.

Mr. and Mrs. Quite Contrary were sitting in front of us at the concert. When Ben Folds took the stage and began rocking out, two young girls in front of them jumped up and started dancing (as did many in the audience.) Mr. Quite Contrary actually tapped the girls on the back and asked them to sit down. Doesn't he realize that two 21 year old girls shouldn't have their 100$ evening ruined by a man in bad shirt and his bushy haired wife who escaped the cul-de-sac for one evening? Apparently they hadn't heard who the target audience for this concert was.

So if you are reading this post, Mr. and Mrs. Quite Contrary (though I doubt you are), you have won this blog's Wet Blanket Award. In fact, the award has been created in your honor. Cheers.
