You should have been around for their earlier gigs.
-
Nearly every year, they've always played a St. Patrick Day's gig in Arizona, and THAT is crazier than any regular gig they ever play. They didn't do it last year, but they are doing it this year and have done it several years straight before.
-
depends on the gig, and depends on the item. for the Vegas gig, they had nearly all the shirts available, but they sold out on the tote bags.

People are going to see you, as long as you both spend some time together in line, people will know that you're with another person and they won't find it a problem.

I knooooow.

Yeeeah, I remember you telling me that. That was horrible.
-
I'm afraid of Mexican moms more than anything. I would totally be afraid of you!
-
I'm pretty easy to spot. People always seem to remember the way I look.
-
I love how I look so intimidating that people don't mess with me or try to take advantage of me.
-
TOTALLY. Work out your hamstrings, more than anything. After that bad (but amazing) Hives gig, my Hamstrings were torn to shit and suffered the worse.
-
Aye, I may be flabby, but I am completely fit to handle a rough gig.
-
That's guaranteed. I ALWAYS bring a cooler for long waits, always. Bring a bag of ice as well, if you can. You'd be surprised how much of a life savor ice can be! Our camp we had for a Franz Ferdinand gig back in April.

This girl arrives at 4pm with about five other people, and everyone makes a big deal about them. The girl said she had been in line at 7am, but had to go to work. I got there at 10am, and she wasn't there all day. We start fighting with her, and the security is called, and the guard sides with me based on my logic that if a person is gone for nine hours, that does NOT constitute a saved spot in line. It's okay if you're gone for an hour (because it was hot that day, even I needed to go inside a business to cool off). And then all the people who I had bought popscicles for (I didn't know them) were completely on my side. Everyone was on my side except for the people who had cut in line. We were irritated because we had been under the direct sun all day, so we weren't having any of that. There's a difference when one person joins someone, but it's another thing when five-ten people jump to the very FRONT of line, thinking that they are entitled to it. It was sweeeeeet watching her and her friends march angrily to the end of the line. Yes. Don't bring a camera then so you won't be distracted.

And you had extra cushion from my body.

I bring popsicles if it's hot. People are more likely to help you out later in case you get a fight with line cutters who didn't wait in line very long like what happened back in August in Hollywood for a Franz Ferdinand gig.
-
They do. :awesome: Even though I'm reliving past gigs for other bands, there are at lease some general lessons to be taught.

+1 in addition, do what you should so if you were to get stuck in an ocean current. Move in the along the direction in the crowd current.

The roughest gigs I've ever been to are for The Hives gigs. Sounds weird, especially that The Hives aren't "trendy" anymore, but there are always some "punk" kids at every gig that get the crowd in riots. I've been a LOT of gigs, but never in my life have I ever been so badly hurt that I had to literally crawl the next week recovering. Even the slightest movements were unbearable. Plus, it doesn't help when Howlin' Pelle (lead singer) left a HUGE bruise on your chest from kicking it, and your scalp hurts because he was pulling your hair so hard. Which happened to me because he decided to stand on top of me several times, literally. GOD I love this band.

Bring an umbrella, told the others about that.

Figured that ageees ago, but it is great advice. also I have a strange ability to stress some kind of abnormality around me (sounds dumb). Yes, it's normal when the audience is pushing and shoving, but I can sense some kind of shift in attention with patrons around me, particularly when dealing with crowd surfing (long before I physically see the surfer) and people passing out. It sounds REALLY stupid, but I guess I have a heightened sense of intuition with gigs. Aye, but I've had so many close encounters with getting the snot beat out of my head by crowdsurfers, even if I duck and cover.
