There was 1 person there at 6am actually. You can ask him about it.
-
Woohoo!
-
Hmmm, getting a ride to VA and NC, so I can store stuff at those shows, but for the NYC ones, no, I'm taking the bus up from DC.
-
If someone lets me put my shit in their car, then yeah, that'd be amazing!
-
Yes, but bag check means you run the risk of not getting barrier, depending on how long they take. So stupid.
-
Unfortunately not the full effect of them though.

So is that all for U.S. tour dates (except for festivals, of course, as they can't announce if they're doing those yet...)? Because it was so sad to not see any pop up today and I'm going crazy trying to figure out if I need to save my money for any more dates close to me. Not to mention, I know the Florida people will come at y'all with pitchforks too if that's really it. - Haley

Well, that was nearly 10 years ago, and it was more like this big storm came in while there were out there during the day, and they got stuck there overnight at sea. It was really bad also for us campers, with 40 mph wind and all. We all had to sleep in the pavilion and tie our tents to cars.
-
Yep! They hosted the Hawaiian Vaudeville Festival every year and we'd camp out on Spencer Beach (except for the one year we were on the North Shore - long story involving a big storm, kayakers stuck overnight at sea, and the Coast Guard). We did have some fun times, like catapulting Spam onto the pavilion ceiling. It stayed there.

Much cooler than crowdsurfing was win at 30STM a guy got everyone around him to lift him up so he stood on the crowd. He ended up getting interviewed by the band. They were like in love with him.
-
How did you get to meet them?
-
Fer sure, and in line.
-
Haha, yeah I guess. Useful for talent shows. It is pretty interesting to have some of the best jugglers in the world stop by our house. When I was a kid, I'd have people do all sorts of tricks for me, from sword swallowing to magic, etc. A real interesting child hood, that's for sure. I've even been to the International Clown Convention, and let me tell you, I learned to be a beast at balloon animals at age 6 (have completely forgotten now ). But anyways, yeah, we have plans for me to teach people how to juggle in line at the NYC gigs, and I'd be happy to do it at the NC and VA ones too!
-
Nah, Muse concerts are not that bad. I've never had a problem at the barrier.

My dad is a videographer. His friends and clients are jugglers. I grew up going to juggling conventions all over (he went to ones really all over the world, from Edmonton Street Fest to the European Juggling Convention, etc.), including the Hawaiian Vaudeville Festival every February. This is his website if you're curious: http://www.festivalvideos.com/ and his YT channel is aplotkin EDIT: This is actually how my dad and I knew Arabella Churchill when she was alive. She married a juggler, Haggis.
-
Ooh, I want to give them leis. I miss Hawaii so much, used to go to the Big Island every year as a kid. My dad has a bunch of friends who live together in a place called Belly Acres. Weird jugglers are weird.
-
That guy is a cunt. I don't think all of them meant to be though.
-
+1 I want to punch the people next door to me for blasting Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA" this morning.
-
They're selfish for wanting to enjoy their show, as are you. And you come out looking like the immature one by punching teenagers.
-
And again, saying you're going to punch crowdsurfers puts you WAAAAAY below their level. As much as you despise them, that is definitely NOT the high route out, violence is never the answer. It just makes you look like complete douche bags.

Didn't say you were an idiot. I said people who expect people to not crowdsurf are. And usually if you don't get a spot in the middle, you can stay out of the way of crowdsurfers. It's really not that hard. Ducking helps too. But all the karma to you if you punch a crowdsurfer and they fall on you. That DOES make you an idiot, and quite an asshole, as they could get seriously hurt. It's not like they asked to go over your pompous head, that's just the way they were pushed. Not to mention, they're not out to get you, like you seem to be out to get them. But as I said, I don't crowdsurf and never will, but I do think you guys are being a little bit unfair to the people who do. They're really not that bad, and comparing the two shows I went to in the pit, the environment was much more energetic and intense when there were crowsurfers, and the band usually gets into it more, so yes, if the band wants crowdsurfers, that is kind of important, because otherwise they may put on a shit, lackluster performance.

For the crowdsurfing talk, here's my piece: 1) Don't say "poor security." They fucking LOVE IT when people crowd surf. I talked to the guys at the DC/Baltimore shows and they hated when no one crowdsurfed in DC but when all the crowdsurfing happened in Baltimore, they thought it was a much better show. Crowdsurfing makes their job more fun. 2) It really depends on the show. You're an idiot if you go to a rock show and don't expect crowdsurfing. If you can't deal with it, stay in the back of the pit or get a seat. Most bands WANT crowdsurfers though, and I've seen a lot of bands highly encourage it with incentives, like most recently, last week at 30 Seconds to Mars. 3) I do agree it should be limited to smaller people. That's just common sense. I would never crowdsurf myself. 4) Expect to be groped, and possibly have your clothes ripped off. As the security guys said, "it's like legal rape." Hmm, think that's all.
