Busy weekend, Saturday I went to guitar lessons and then in the afternoon evening, I went to two concerts – the first one was from 6:30-8ish at the UU church with the house band as a benefit for the music fund. That was fun, Jeremy and Edda came with me and Jeremy made some delicious pulled pork sandwiches for the event. We danced and had a nice time. Then I dropped them off at home and I went to downtown G-burg to hear my guitar teacher in his band which was also a lot of fun. The UU band hit 85 decibels and I didn’t wear earplugs, the Sonic Spell (my teacher’s band) hit 100 decibels and for sure, I wore my fancy earplugs. I think I was the only one wearing ear protection which is CRAZY because at 100 dB, it actually hurts my ears. I’ve been to a number of guitar performances now and I won’t go without earplugs because 100 dB is apparently the correct volume for rockin’ out. Also, impossible to hold a conversation with any friends.
Sunday, I went to lift and Ward is trying to get me to compete in a competition in late August. We’ll see. Hahah.
The concerts sound so fun! I am always amazed when people don’t wear ear protection at events like that. I can’t handle noise that loud, and I’m sure it’s bad for everyone’s hearing. What earplugs do you use?
I use loop earplugs!
