Guide for Attending Artistic Occasions

Guide for Attending Artistic Occasions
By Nawen of the Fairy Garden

For years and years, decades and decades, if not centuries and centuries there are have been planned concerts, plays, recitals, and viewings. These are special moments where a group or an individual lays bare their soul often exposing themselves unabashed to the public for their entertainment. Yet so many don't know how to act at such moments. For those of you having this struggle with your manners. This guide is for you.

First: Regardless of who you are. When a performance starts please be quiet. This means shutting your ale hole, the word spigot, blower, gob, trap, and skull cave. No one came to hear you or watch you have a silent conversation with your friends.

Second: Do not get up or scream for more drink during a performance. Wait until the performer is finished and then quietly wave the waitress over or walk yourself to the bar and order a drink. If you come into an establishment during a performance then please be quiet and wait for the performer to finish then take your seat or see to the reason you have to be there.

Third: Wait until the performer is finished before clapping or expressing yourself. This can be tricky at times and we have all done this but some performers do give a tip of the hat or a small bow to signal to you the audience that they have finished.

Fourth: If you enjoyed the performer then tip them. Doesn't matter if its a few coins or a whole pouch. If you were touched by the piece then reward the performer with a token of your gratitude. Very few know about the unseen preparations a performer undertakes to be at their finest to give you their best performance.

With these simple rules everyone can enjoy themselves at such occasions without disrespecting the performers, host or those gathered to witness the performance, and possibly allow the bouncers to have a night off without breaking someone's face for their rudeness.
