Shoving your way to the front is a time honored tradition of opening seating. If your willing to wait on line all day at a festival, your probably too old to be there and are creating a dangerous situation.

Those are the rules. Its also a rule to stop shoving when you see some one on the ground and to help them up.

All I can say is thank God you've only posted 3 times on here....

We have lines for a reason. Not so the biggest or strongest can get to the front.

And let me tell you this, it's MUCH harder to wait for 12 hours in the Tennessee weather than to arrive right before the show and sneak into the line like a little fucking weasel. So fuck your "too old" comment. The only people creating a "dangerous situation" are fuckers like you that don't respect the line and the order of things.

You know what else is a time-honored tradition? Waiting your turn, in line. Maybe you weren't taught that in kindergarten?

Yep, that was me! I was so worried about Holly. I'm so glad i know her name now. How are the feet and ankles doing? I know she didn't want to leave and miss the show, but i know she was miserable. I couldn't stand to see her suffer. At one point when i was passing "something" to her, her little hands were trembling! I told her that it wasn't worth it to hurt herself. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, and it's a good thing she got out of there before all the chaos started. She may have been hurt by the assholes behind us. Please tell her that i asked about her and that i hope she feels better. That was extremely nice of you to want to give me your mike pick, but definitely not necessary! I'm glad you got it!! Where are you guys from? Thanks for saying that we were the nicest people there, i thought the same of you two as well. I'm just glad that i could make Holly a little more comfortable at a very uncomfortable moment. PM me anytime, maybe we will see eachother again at another show!!!
Please take care and have a beautiful day!

You guys rock. I just called Holly and read this post to her and she's so grateful for all you did.

We're from Salt Lake City....and rarely make it to the Eastern or Southern shows. West coast for us is sooo much easier. But hopefully we'll see you guys again.

Oh, and her feet are doing much better...thanks again!

Keep in mind, in all walks of life, festivals included, 95% of people are cool. It's the five percent that ruin things.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Too bad 50% of the cool people don't kick that 5% square in the ass.

You guys rock too!! Tell her that there is no need to be grateful. i'm grateful that i could help her out. Isn't that what it's SUPPOSED to be about? It's so heartwarming when i meet people like you guys. I just wish the whole world was all like PJ fans, it would be such a better place. I swear that meeting new people and bonding because we have the same interest in a band is definitely better than the actual show! My bf(Dale) is new at this whole PJ thing, and when i told him about the posts and the nice things you wrote, he was somewhat shocked, but definitely in a good way. I think at that moment he began to understand why i love this band and their fans so much! Thanks for that too! I may have given Holly a blanket and made sure she didn't get trampled, but you guys have given me SO MUCH MORE!
I do hope that we get to see you guys again sometime. Dales mom lives in Washington, so you never know we may catch a west coast show sometime.
The gorge is a dream of mine!! Please take care of eachother and PLEASE keep in touch! PM me anytime and tell Holly the same! I love you guys!
Peace and Love!!

As a person who stood in line for over 10 hrs to get front row on Stone's side- all I have to say is, "STEVE! STEVE! STEVE!" He, along with a few others of us kept the integrity of the line going. What an amazing show that was!

Are you talking about Steve with the dreads?? If so, he was awesome. I am trying to get his e-mail and keep in touch with him. Good for you waiting and being on front row!! Makes all that shit worth it.

When I finally made it up to the gate, I was stopped. My heart almost sunk in my chest, as I thought I was going to be the cut off point. Then a security guard said the count was at 630, and they were cutting it off at 700. So luckily I made it in, just barely.

I waited all day and when I finally got to the front of the line I guess I was 701 cause they didn't let me in.

I had to beg the security guard to let me in and after a couple minutes he finally did. I gave the dude a big f'n hug and got to see the Mighty PJ in the 5th row right in front of Mike.

What an awesome experience!

This Steve didn't have dreads...he was a bigger dude and had a partly shaved head...was right at the front of the line on Stone's side.
