Just ignore what I have posted to you, we are in different age groups, I'm probably old enough to turn you over my knee and spank you.
I will go to Bonnaroo, VIP RV, so I will probably never see you. Thank god.
mmm.. can't really take seriously someone that tells me to lighten up then go to a camping festival in a fucking RV :rolleyes:
now i know none of you here know me but i am very very far from a pseudo-neo-hippie. just trust me on this. that being said, i still think that if you're going to be one of these rabid "I MUST GET TO THE FRONT OF A 100,000 PERSON CAPACITY SHOW", perhaps Bonaroo is not for you. chances are they are going to be touring around a little bit.
maybe an arena is a better fit for your live music style.
I know distantsun, and since she is one of those rabid things, she is not going to go to Bonnaroo.
... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
wait till you experience PJ with 50K plus in front of the stage
all trying to get up front
manners get lost in that push and it aint fun
I would guess the metallica crowd will be even worse
Perhaps years ago, but this aint no hippy fest anymore
Just remember that we can only speculate what will or will not happen. It all depends on how many douche bags wind up there.
"Years ago?" Well, I was there last year, and it very much was a laid-back, hippy fest. Everyone keeps trying to compare this to Lollapalooza... it's not the same thing.

thats downright selfish and the people that were trying that shit at lolla were getting bitched at... if you know people have been waiting for hours you do not cut in front of them...
I'm afraid it's your own responsibility and the responsibility of those in front of ya to stop people from pushing in... you can't stop people from going where they want or where there's space... and ya can't blame anyone for trying

i dont care about having my "own space" as long as the space i have come show time is not further back than i started because of assholes pushin their way to the front past people there long before them... thats just common courtesy... i saw punches being thrown over that shit at lolla last year... it was for muse tho not PJ thank god... but thats bound to happen anytime when somebodys waiting patiently out in the heat and someone else has a sense of entitlement... judging by the threads i see around here the latter applies to alot of PJ fans... so be ready
Nah, it's not a sense of entitlement... it's a sense of having the balls to do it... I didn't know any of those other 99,999 people (ok well maybe I did but not the ones I walked through) and I just strolled up to the front after kings of leon when the crowd dispersed a bit... some of the people in the middle bitched a bit but for fuck sake, there's space for another 10,000 between them and the stage... where do they get THEIR sense of entitlement to all that space?

But from what I've heard, sarcasm and senses of humour don't often translate well in them there southern states and can get ya killed? I'd probably chicken out... maybe wear it when I'm sleeping or something.

If I want to be at the front of the stage at a festival, I will be at the front of the stage. Fuck everyone else. That's how I do it.
I'm with finsy
It's up to EVERYBODY to find their spot and keep it... but don't expect to have a wide open space around ya... if there is... it's gonna be filled, end of story! It's not fucking bonnaroo for fuck sake Oh wait...

my suggestion to people would be, as much as you want to get close for Pearl Jam, don't just park yourself infront of the main stage all day. There's a lot going on at these festivals and you really do miss out on some great stuff by just waiting for one band, even if it is Pearl Jam.
I've been to shows around this size before, its surprisingly easy to get pretty close without being a dick. Not everyone there will be a die hard Pearl Jam fan, so a fair amount of people will hang slightly farther back, where they can sit in the grass. The crowd will be spaced out enough that you will find large enough gaps to stand in and watch the show. Most (all?) of the big festivals have the crowd seperated by barriers, so there isn't one big crush. Your best bet, in a lot of cases, is to walk along the side of the crowd until you're just inf ront of one of these barriers. The crowd is never backed right up against them, so you can easily slide in there and look for a better spot.
That goes without saying on the days when PJ isn't playing. But with my French and Irish friends here, and they're not exactly virgins at major festivals, if it means being front and centre (or at least front and Mike), they'll park their arses up there right after the headlining act from the night before gets off stage

I'll answer that: loosen up!
I know distantsun, and since she is one of those rabid things, she is not going to go to Bonnaroo.
Hmm... I think you might have just captured the very essence of a Metallica fan.
I'm just messing about... I mean no offense to any fans of Metallica here.
