Wow, that's about the last place I'd expect to see fists flying.

Try going to the opera! One night an usher was relentlessly jingling the keys and coins in his pocket and a fight broke out and he and my best buddy were thrown out of the performance. I, of course (ahem) caught it all on tape. Bastard, he ruined a great performance of Romeo & Juliette.

I remember somewhere we were talking about opera and rock concerts... (Oh where, oh where was that at?) (Oh yeah, talking about Chicago....) You really go to some exciting operas! I think I'll have to go with you sometime!

You can take Bostonians, dust 'em off, dress 'em up, and take 'em to the symphony ... but they're still from Boston.


Bunch o' hooligans. To the bone. :p

Hahahahaha!!!! I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh...but wow!

Brawls a 'plenty at both the Boston Pops and the opera! Who knew? I'm just picturing tiny white-gloved fists pummeling, top hats flying every which way and monacles shattering in a cartoon scuffle cloud. I bet it looked like a bunch of Mr. Peanuts engaged in a battle royale.

Now, that's entertainment. ;)

FWIW: Ben Folds was performing that evening as well. Don't know if that had anything to do with it.

Who knew Ben Folds still performed? Personally, I'd rather watch an evening with Gentle Ben.

Aw, yes. Who can forget angst-ridden, socially-aware, college-alt 90's rock? (I can). Why not have a Night at the Met featuring Toad The Wet Sprocket?

Sigh. So no Colonel Klink style monacles & shiny top hats a flyin'? Oh, well. Visions of patchouli-scented flannel bits sailing in the midst just ain't as fun. :(


;) :p I tease because I love.
