If there is ever a band worth dropping out of school to see, it is probably... well, no, there's not really a band worth dropping out of school to see.

KIDS, STAY COOL. STAY IN SCHOOL.

One of my professors told me that I should skip class to see Mission of Burma in San Francisco.

Why, oh why, didn't I heed his advice?

Oh I would dismiss all future education for that one moment of sweet MoB.

I'm 6'4 and so are a few of my friends. whatever we do, we annoy everybody behind us. sorry for my superior dna.

You know who else was tall?

Darth Vader.

Just saying...

Women love a man in uniform.

I seem to spend most of my time at gigs getting out of the way of other people who have decided to wander from point A to point B. Seriously, like, every gig I go to, I end up standing in what the crowd's decided is the venue's main thoroughfare for that evening. I don't know whether this is because I instinctively and unconsciously head towards those areas in the venue that are marginally less crowded, or because everybody else in the world hates me.




Who am I kidding, of course it's because everyone hates me! Damn people.

[lessthanfirst]

Oh, I forgot about that one. If you are going to talk, do it between sets or between songs if you really must. But during the music it is a big no-no.

Too right. When I saw Forward Russia there were these two guys in front of me blabbing about some bullshit and I thought "look, this awesome band is on their last song and they're ending their show in such a fantastically epic way. Why can't you appreciate it? and shut up, you're distracting me even though you're boring and the band isn't."

I have this thing I like to call the "Almost-Dance" which isn't dancing but nearly. Other than that, I like to be as close to the front as possible am prone to singing [but I do feel guilty about this].

haha ditto. for me it's sort of a stand and nod along thing but my body follows along in the motion and does these little swaying from side to side bits and such.

Women love a man in uniform.

I never liked that saying.

In one context, it could mean that multiple women love a singular man in a uniform.

Two, it's not specific enough.  When I hear uniform, two things come to mind; A military uniform, and a janitorial jumpsuit.  Which one of these do women love, exactly?  I mean, if they just love uniforms in general, then oh whoop-dee-doo, women are easily pleased, I never knew that a dress code could be such a turn-on.

And we're talking about Darth Vader.  He doesn't wear a uniform, he wears a state-of-the-art combat-ready life preserver with a built-in respiratory system.  It happens to be black.  And it happens to have a cape.  Stop being so broad, it makes you seem so American.

This is relevant, by the way, I wear a Vader costume to every concert I go to.  Women seem drawn to it for some reason.

[nIX]

Depends. With some friends, we just go looking for the moshpit. And with others.. we find a quiet spot, to sit (or stand) and enjoy the music.
That's what I love about festivals, you can just sit down at a metalconcert, and nobody will think you're weird.

IDIOT.

I took three days off of classes last fall to go to Boston and see The Lawrence Arms/The Falcon/Sundowner/American Steel. It was a BRILLIANT show.

[theoryC]

I just stand there and watch, maybe bob my head or tap my foot a little bit.  If people start ramming into me I usually try to ram them back, but in a way that says "Watch where you step, or you're fucked."

[MobyDickhole]

It really depends on the venue for me...

I enjoy shows the most when I can connect to the musician and get a feel for how into the music they are.
So I hate being way in the back...
I also hate going to any venue that isn't all GA... (although if the band is awesome enough, I will go...Explosions in the Sky for example, or Radiohead, or my upcoming Sigur Ros experience

[Scarychips]

I just try to be innocuous as possible. I move a little bit, but not in a way that would disturb other people. I sing along and clap when it is appropriate.

Sometimes when the show is really awesome and everyone in the crowd is really into it I let loose a little more, but mostly try to be low-key.

Also, I smile a lot. Concerts make me really happy.

If I was older and if we were in the same city, I would like having you as a show buddy.

[michaelicious]

Everyone who wants to be my show buddy lives far away

[Scarychips]

Montrealer?

[Liz]

When we look at the scope of the world you and I are pretty close, dude. If that helps.

Just rub it in, why don't you. I guess now is a bad time to mention that I passed up an opportunity to see Cursive and one of my favorite local bands live two hours away because I had class.

[imagist42]

Yes now is a horrible time to mention that. One class and two hours each way is not that much to sacrifice for a show.
