Well, sorry, I don,t think texting or playing on a game boy, evenly silently, is acceptable, although it depends on how noticeable it is I suppose - if it is in a smallish room or with people sitting round in a circle, these type of activities do give give the impression of being bored and I may be old fashioned but I don't think that is polite or appreciative. The guy's body language and facial expression gave a definite message of, ' I'm bored amongst these amateurs. When is it going to be my turn again? They should listen to ME'. I have to add that he may have been bored I suppose, but he shouldn't have been as there were some excellent performers there that night, doing a wide range of interesting stuff.
