I went to the Jameson 360 party at the Great Hall on Saturday. It was essentially a pre-Paddy’s Day party that was being held in several locations around the world. It was cool since they were showing you live broadcasts of all the other parties going on while you were at yours. It was a free event but you had to get tickets, which I got through work connections.
The bands were really good this year, too. It was The Dunes followed by Never Ending White Lights and they did really well I thought. Better than last year’s anyway. There was supposed to be free Jameson & Ginger handed out at this event however I never saw any. I had to buy drink tickets instead. The only redeeming factor is that a Jameson drink only cost $5 and I didn’t have to tip! My night cost me under $20!
The only sad part about the night was that I couldn’t hear a single thing when the bands were playing. My ears were ringing so much that all day yesterday and even today I can still hear/feel it. This is especially sad because two guys actually came up and started talking to me and my friend! I think they might have been interested! I talked for a few seconds with them in the lull between songs; long enough for guy #1 to introduce me to guy #2 who was kinda cute. Unfortunately guy #2 kept trying to talk to me about something (which was good!) but I couldn’t hear ANYTHING!
I tried to tell him that I couldn’t hear him, tapping my ear and looking apologetic and all that, and then he just sort of left! And never came back!
I don’t get it. I mean, I couldn’t hear him, but if we wanted to talk couldn’t he wait until the song was over?
Did I do something wrong in this situation? Should I have pretended I could hear him? I mean, what do you do when you’re at a loud concert and can’t hear the other person? It’s kind of embarrassing. I really would have liked to have chatted with this guy, I mean how often do I ever get guys talking to me? The one time they do I can’t hear them and I guess it turns them off!
I just don’t get it.
Ladies, should I have done something different? Guys, would you walk away from a girl if she couldn’t hear you during a loud concert?

Um I might have nodded and smiled for a bit, then if I thought he was really cute maybe tried to whisper in his ear that I couldn’t hear him and try to get him somewhere a little quieter. Not in the slutty way, just maybe drag him to a part of the bar that was a bit quieter if some such place existed? Or if you want to be really daring, you could maybe write a note saying something about not being able to hear him but would like to talk more somewhere quiet with your phone number. Its maybe a little daring but what’s there to lose?
I wouldn’t beat yourself up too much. Sometimes guys are just testing the waters, looking for the really trampy ones! Ha ha… no, seriously, I wouldn’t feel too bad. If he thinks somehow you should be able to hear him over all that, clearly he’s not too bright. Sounds like fun though! I can’t wait to move to Toronto… last night mainstreet here was like a ghost town…sigh….
Aw man! That sucks!! I agree with above comment though. Totally go with the note, I would have.
