  1. You can buy these from lot of places, like amazon. They are cheaper in bulk so I like to split packs with friends and we each have our own color. Take a look if your are interested: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx
  2. At the risk of sounding like a salesmen, I highly suggest high fidelity earplugs. They don't hardly distort the music and make it possible to communicate to your friends in the middle of a gig. And for me it is a no brainer, I love music and I wish to continue to enjoying music for a very long time. I also use them for when I play loud gigs. Muse don't just wear their special plugs for monitoring reasons (especially with fuzz factory that creates that beautiful noise at so many frequencies). Like I said before I use ER-20's and swear by them ( so do every one of my friends who has used them), especially at festivals, you can last longer (which the longer with loud noise the worse the damage) and they come with a case that works great in your pocket between sets. So at least put in normal earplugs for the opener if you aren't there for them. And hey they actually look cool, or at least to me, although I use the clear pair most of the time and they are hardly visible.
  3. Stand all you want. I went to a smashing pumpkins concert and stood almost the whole time. At one point I needed to tie my shoe and sat down and about 300 people sat down behind me, when it was tied I stood back up and so did they. I'm sorry to say that I am 6''2, so if you see me at Portland up front I hope you can forgive my genetics and say hi, I often try and help others see around me and am big enough to help protect you smaller folks out there. I also wear ER 20 hifi earplugs. They are worth every penny. I can't give them enough praise. Really though, most everyone is nice and helpful, plus most the crap you deal with in a pit is just a side note. Normally your too excited to care. It can't be worse than NIN or Murder City Devils last year at Sasquatch. I waited for over 6 hours in a pit in over a 100 F before their set even started, by the end I was spent and couldn't stay for Jane's Addiction. I get migranes and needed out. Does anyone know how early I should start waiting for the show in Portland? I haven't waited for any shows there. I would like to be at least within 2 or 3 persons from the stage.
