As a courtesy to performers and other audience members, please turn off blinking head-mounted devices
When a theater or concert performance begins, there is often an announcement asking audience members to silence their cell phones and similar devices. Some time ago, a light blinked near the ear of a gentleman a few rows in front of me throughout the entire performance. I couldn’t tell what it was for sure, but it appeared to be the indicator light of a Bluetooth headset.
Blink.
Five seconds later:
Blink.
Five seconds later:
Blink.
Repeat for two hours.
What I want to know is, was this guy expecting a call during the show? If his phone rang, would he answer it from his seat?
(Added: This was before Bluetooth headsets were in common use. It wasn’t until after the show that I was able to guess what it was.)
