“Steve mate, can you just hold this wardrobe while I perform an absolutely beautiful rendition of your all-time favourite song which will somehow shine new light on all the aspects you were so familiar with but in a way that makes you love it even more”
You’re not gonna clap in that scenario once the performance has finished?
Might bang a table instead
Whilst holding a wardrobe? What are you, Geoff Capes or something?
Probably not, no. Might Steve a bit though.
It hurts less though
Yeah!
Love referencing Geoff Capes. He’s probably one of my all-time favourite people to reference.
What sort of bag?
I like to click my fingers, like the cats in 120 bpm.
when I’m at a gig and I have a pint my applause consists of me clapping my hand against my upper thigh/leg. it’s difficult to say for certain but I’m pretty sure this makes very very little sound.
edit : basically what @steved said
I understood the first (former) part of this sentence but not the second (latter) part
I clap the glass so gently it probably actively removes sound
oooh never considered that
I enjoy claps in songs
thank you for your time,
What about if you’re at Stomp! (and Ruffers (who we now know is Geoff Capes)) is performing and you’re holding a wardrobe instead of a drink?
maybe I’d open and slam the door of the wardrobe, that would be very effective.
You’re a solutions man. I love that about you.
My gig-pint-clapping protocol is to slap the back of my neck. Not sure when I started it and I’ve got some strange looks for it but I’m a committed neck slapper now. I guess it helps that I have a big stupid neck and no hair.
In the (excellent) film, 120BPM, the characters click their fingers to show appreciation for a point made in a debate, rather than clap.
If you’ve not seen it, I’d recommend it very strongly.
I understand, and the cats thing? Just a bit of lingual flair I guess?
