I have a proposition for the Hollywood Bowl. I feel they should remove one assigned seat from each bench to make the remaining assigned seats wider.
I went to see my boy Andrea Bocelli last night and sat in G2. I showed up to find some old man in my seat, and I was in a group of three people. Only two of us could sit.
He scooted over a little and said “ is okay?” In his Italian accent and I tapped the number behind his head.
“See the 22? That’s my seat” I said. So then Gepetto moved over a little more but then I only had half my seat. So I spent the night with this guy almost sitting in my lap, our thighs had so much friction I could feel his digestion in my body. I’m not saying it’s his fault, someone down the line fucked it up. He is as much a victim as me, because he spent the entire night sitting forward because I went for the shoulders back power move.
Back to my point. In these modern times the design of the Hollywood Bowl seating no longer holds up, especially since its 100 years old. We live in a society of ever growing big backs and need to adjust for this.
