Nope, I would have walked out. There are precious few pictures of me in this world (and the ones that exist are mostly celluloid) and my plan is to keep it that way as much as possible…
We were at a dinner event and they hired a drone operator to film it. So we’re sitting there, the musician is going on stage, and you hear brrrrrrrrrrrrrzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the whole fucking time as this drove flies around you. We had an edge seat next on a patio so we’re the front row for the drone…
She spent the entire evening flipping off that drone so the footage wouldn’t be usable.
They didn’t ask for consent or a waiver or notify you they were doing that. We had tickets to multiple nights (bought months in advance) and they did this at all of them. We actually thought it was some annoying kid trying to be a brat until I saw the drone guy talking to the staff at the end of the night.
I was at an event and the host was wearing them
In the context of “his job is a promoter and you’re at an event he’s promoting, and he’s not hiding that he’s recording” I was kind of okay with it.
But normally you’d have some side conversations with the guy and I felt really awkward with him wearing the glasses.
I felt their presence made the event worse. A video guy would have been fine by contrast, because there’s judgement and editorial reatraint.

Super obnoxious.
