Crowds of strangers on drugs.
#7956447 - 01/30/08 04:40 PM (16 years, 2 days ago) |

Last night (a weeknight), we went to go see STS9 at this small auditorium venue that only fits a few hundred people at most. The beginning of the show was nice and relaxed, the opening band was pretty good, and there was plenty of room to move around. Next thing I know, the opening band is gone, and here comes STS9. All of a sudden, the audience is full of hippies and underage wannabe hippies, and I'm getting pushed back further and further. Everywhere you turn, there are gigantic dinner-plate sized pupils, and people running into each other. People in clothing made out of carpet scraps are humping in front of me, with no regard to anyone around them. Some teenager walks up to his friends and pulls out his penis with a completely dazed look upon his face. They all laugh and he wanders away with his dick in his hand. A guy comes running through the crowd and literally plows right into me, almost knocking me over. I push him back angrily, and he just smiles and walks away.
I moved at least a half dozen times, trying to get away from these crazy people. We ended up finding a spot next to the taper's microphone setup by the soundboard that seemed relatively safe. Next thing I know, some fat sweaty girl in a tiedye behind me starts leaning up against me for support. I push her away once, and she does it again. I turn around and say "Hey, maybe you should sit down?". She looks at me with fluttering eyelids and says "No thanks, I'm fine". So I lean her up against the fence to get her off of me. She slides down to the ground. Next thing I know, she on her knees behind hatta and I, reaching between our legs towards the floor, grasping at some invisible object that only she can see. I push her back again, and she finally gets up and wanders away.
Seriously, what is wrong with people like this? I realize that STS9 kicks ass and the music is great, but what an awful environment to choose to get that WHACKED OUT. There are security guards all over, there are cops in uniform, the place is packed, its a million degrees, and its not even a weekend.
I tried really hard not to let all these things ruin the show for me, and I did still manage to enjoy myself, but it took a lot of effort and restraint on my part not to just punch someone out. I hope none of you are one of these people, and if you are, I urge you to SHOW SOME FUCKING RESTRAINT and respect for your fellow human beings.
Thank you, and good day.

Yeah I hate people that get messed up when they go to shows. Best way to experience a good band in my opinion is completely sober.

So good to see you, I've missed you so much.

Well, I'm not saying you should necessarily be sober. I'm just saying, use common sense. Don't choose that location to eat a quarter of mushrooms to yourself. Maybe smoke a few joints before hand (and during) instead. Something that isn't going to make you completely oblivious to the rest of the world.

 I enjoy getting stoned at concerts but I've learned to pick the show. There are a few shows I've seen that I don't remember as well as I'd like.

wow...i've never been to a sts9 show that was quite that ridiculous. there are always fucked up people there, but that sounds really bad.
sts9 is just too popular these days. everyone thinks it's some sort of ultimate setting to do drugs at. it's true that their shows are a bit borish when you're 100% sober, but you don't have to be out of your mind on drugs to enjoy them either.
i remember the first time i saw them. the collective energy in the crowd was amazing. it was like everyone was seeing this awesome spectacle for the first time and were amazed and captivated by it. everyone was into it and having fun. it was totally bad ass. then the last time i saw them there was just this really strange uncomfortable vibe and it ruined the show for me, so i went and saw something else. that's just how i perceived it though.

I was at perpetual groove recently, it wasn't nearly as extreme as that but same basic principal.
I heard this little rat faced kid next to me exclaim proudly to some drunk girls "DUDE WHEN I DID SHROOMS FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS SOOOOO FUCKED UP IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!"
I just wanted to kill his little tie dye wearing ass.

man, those places are great environments for high doses in my opinion. most people know what you're up to if you act strange and what not and you just the music take your trip. now i'm not saying walk around with your dick out and just be irresponsible, but thats a very individual thing, can't make a generalization out of people like that.
and man, you're seeing sts9, o'course its gonna be a weird crowd

Balcony dives at a Phil show?!? That's just highly unnecessary! Not to mention dangerous.

yeah
very sad times
the first, new years, was way sadder. some big fat dude all fucking twacked on e and pcp probly charged the railing and took 2 people over with him. the guy(300pounds at leased) landed on some poor woman and fucked her spine up good. he imidietly got up and tryed dancing even tho he was covered in blood. it took like 5 emt's to restrain him. HELLA TIGHT saw that too.
then a few months later at the warfeil, durring the set break no less i see a body go flying across my feild of vision crumpling into a crowd of people. fortunatly the guy only broke his own leg and the people below where not seriously hurt.
stupid people with lots of drugs
