Chill out and party some yourself, gold-seat Fred concert-goer

In response to Bill Webster’s letter regarding Donna Romeo and “rowdy” concert-goers at the PTC amphitheater. Firstly, Donna Romeo does a wonderful job running the amphitheater. She is professional, friendly and very personable. It is very easy to criticize and judge when you have no idea how hard Ms. Romeo works to please everybody from the constant complainers to the more loud and noisy concert-goers.
Secondly, Mr. Webster, you come across sounding very pompous, like lord of the manor in your gold seat. We sit further back and have a great view.
It seems now and again people do get a little excited when they have had a great evening watching a superb performance and (God forbid) want to show the entertainer some appreciation and feedback. Also, we have observed that it generally only happens during the encore.
Why don’t you loosen up a little and try not to be so uptight? Maybe even stand up and clap now and again. Hey, you might even enjoy yourself!
