"So I went to Gypsy last night with Patti Lupone (my mom waited in line after work). I was really looking forward to going, and I have some of the songs on my Ipod. So in the middle of the show, my phone started ringing, and it was down in the bottom of my bag. I grabbed it out and looked at it, and before I could even put it away, some ushers came and told me I HAD to put it away. At the break, my mom and I were looking for those ushers to explain our story, so they wouldn't think I was using my phone, but I guess they were trying to stay away from us.
The play started up again and my phone started ringing AGAIN. My mom glared at me, and I reached in the bag and pulled it out, opened it up, and the noise continued to blare. The man next to hit me on the shoulder to stop, and it finally stopped ringing. And then more ushers came down and said we had to go. They said they had some other seats in the back of the house that we could sit in. My mom started yelling at the usher, but she kept saying it was policy. SHe said something about Patty not approving of my behavior, but it was too loud to hear anything. We were both really mad, and my mom said we were leaving right away. I was kind of bored anyway, but my mom was trying to get her money back.
I sometimes go on broadwayworld to read up on some things, and i saw a topic about the incident but the guy has a lot of wrong facts. I really want to open an account and defend myself, but it might be too late. They've all kind of already taken apart the situation. I just got a brand new phone the day before, so I really didn't knwo what it could do. I mean, I'll still see shows, but it just is kind of annoying that this would happen to me. Here's the web address to the Broadwayworld..."
