JSngry Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Unless I totally misread the scenario, the lady really was clueless, as in a tourist, probably from somewhere where live music doesn't even exist, and was really a little flustered by her predicament of not knowing how to get to where she needed to get to. I mean geez, who doesn't know how to get a cab other than a total "outsider"? That's pretty damn weird in and of itself, no? So I can't really call her "rude" per se, which is why I think the players were kinda laughing at it. One of those "surrealer than surreal" moments - a lady in the middle of Manhattan who doesn't know how to catch a cab (which leads one to ask - how did she even get there?) - that comes along every so often.

Guest donald petersen Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 It is funny when people try to hail a cab like they were in a movie from the 1940s, shouting "taxi!!!" and waving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest donald petersen Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 that lady looks like she is from somewhere where they don't have jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Well, if you will play a bass solo, you're asking for it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 The lady is probably so clueless that she thinks that since they're just playing with their hands and not their mouths that it's no big deal for them to talk to her. I've had people, more than a few, attempt to converse with me while I was playing, with a freaking mouthpiece in my mouth. They'll actually be asking wuestions and shit, like I can blow with one part of my mouth and talk with another. Now that's not just naively clueless, that's out and out ignunt. You know what I do to people like that? I piss in their drinks when they're not looking. Square business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeith Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 You guys may be missing the point. The lady asked "where is the BEST place to catch a cab" As someone who spends a majority of his waking hours in Manhattan and knows how often it is difficult to find an unoccupied cab at times, this seems to me a totally legit question and one I have asked myself. THe club where they were playing is open air and they were practically on the sidewalk. that said, she was clueless in the sense that she was interrupting a performance, but that's no different from what most New Yorker do with their cellphones etc, while attending performances. THe musicians should have just said "go away" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGrubb Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I was looking at it as her (both) interrupting a performance and for trite info (sorry) to boot. If she'd been asking for an ambulance or the Poelice, the interruption would've been forgivable, maybe. Like maybe if she was, you know, causing a disturbance by flopping around on the floor having some sort of seizure or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
