The kinder, gentler milonga. Last night at the ANM, as the crowd was settling down for Chicho & Juanas performance, the enormous number of people made it necessary for many to sit on the floor up front or climb on chairs in the back, situating themselves wherever possible to gain a good view. A young fellow decided to stand directly in front of me and several others. When he ignored our calls to sit down on the floor, I tapped him on the arm and politely asked him to move. He turned and brusquely responded, You wish! and turned away again. To which I said, Well, yes. I and all the people behind me wish that you move your ass elsewhere, asshole! He turned again, saw the angry looks on our faces and shuffled off. This was not an isolated incident. A couple of feet away, another guy insisted on standing his ground when he was asked to duck down or move. Several words were exchanged and two men got up to confront him before he decided to share a seat with someone sitting nearby. And, you wonder about floorcraft?!
