Listen...I was not trying to argue over who is a diehard and who isn't...I agree with those of you who say that there are just certain people who should not be in GA. All of my PJ shows to date have been awesome, I have no complaints. "Just enjoy the fucking concert and meet some cool people"!!! Well said!
:thumbup:
I'm sorry, I disgressed ...
In Germany, the whole floor is GA. The front is rather rowdy, the middle is the middle and the back is laid back. Something for everybody. Maybe the should just try to enlarge the GA floor over here a bit to make more people happy.
Since we old fogey parent 10Cers are so, well... Old, we should just wear our depends undergarments to the shows, then we don't have to go to the bathroom and we can show those youngsters who are really the diehards!
But really, it isn't age that makes us die hards. Or energy level. Or alcohol consumption. Or number of shows attended. Or whatever. It's inside of us. It can't be measured by another person's experience...
I think most people are saying have fun your way and let me have fun my way, just don't be a jerk.
Or we'll have to resort to the previously mentioned dick measuring and assign seating by that. Which is inherently unfair to the female fan base. Unless of course, no dick gets you up front. Then we might as well be at a Justin Bieber show with 15 rows of screaming girls up front.
Agreed. But not on the first paragraph. I'm not old and not a parent! And I always had a small bladder :shifty: I made it through the Philly shows in the pit without going during the show though
I never take pee breaks during shows ever and I have a teeny bladder too. I just go 15 times before the show. Sometimes I throw myself into walls of the stall to get the moshing started. That's how hardcore I am :P
So if I am to make sense of these and other posts...we need bladder measuring along with dick measuring??

That appears to be the case. Although that could get messy :? As well as a breathalyzer to measure BAC and a device to measure velocity as we thrash about. Then we could have some objective measurements to crown the "most hardcore fan". Prize TBD :think:

Good suggestion but I usually reinvest my dividends
i dont really like on floor when people jump up and down in ga mainly because i grew up when there was mosh pits and crowd surfing, jump up and down is kind of annoying especially if it very tight space and there is hardly any room, that why mosh pit is better, you can have circle pits and roam around, that is much better, sadly i dont see a serious mosh pit at any ga i will be at, last time i remember a sick pit at a pj show was barrie 1998
I am loving the Diehard PJ fan definition - I do think 10c seniority should be added as well. What? You've only been 10c for 12 years? Pffttt......go stand at the back.

I definitely shouldn't be in GA. I'm 5'2, and I won't wait on a GA line for 10 hours to get rail. Also I've got a bad leg that usually hurts soooooo bad the next day, but I think I figured out a cure for that.
BUT IDGAF cuz GA is awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so :P

Yup, I think we have it. This should probably be made a sticky.

GA has been lame. Wish there was more moshing. I asked 7-8 people if they would support me starting a mosh pit and all said "No Way" in Baltimore. I'll report back from Charlottesville and Charlotte, but I'm not expecting anything else different. PJ fans are just too old at heart. Too many parents and lawyers and oldies in 10C.....sorry to say it but it has to be said.
Chris.
In Charlotte we had the great "honor" in floor seats to witness this couple full out fondle each other...( hit third base) ...would have rather been anywhere else. Others were texting and talking like we were in a bar. Pittsburghs show was total energy. As they say....location...location..location!
I was in GA about 5th person-row back on between eddie and stone at Baltimore. MELLON FARMING LOVED IT!
We had 10C reserved at Charlottesville, I think it was sect 102 row K, unobstructed view of the stage, nice view, GREAT SHOW!
I didn't go to Charlotte NC.
the tone of Baltimore was different than Charlottesville. Guessing they had a day to regroup and so Charlottesville seemed more structured (if that's possible at a PJ show). Eddie came down to the rail and stood up on a riser it was just freakin awesome during Porch, almost right in front of me, and the 5 people in front of me, but we all swooned forward with our hands in the air. I was just "into" it more at Baltimore. I love to see PJ play anyway, no matter where or from what view. Just feels so good to see them, sing with them, cheer them on, the people, everything, it's an unmatched experience.
I liked GA better. Hubby liked the seats. my feet hurt, my legs, buttocks and arms sore the next day but I would do it again.

roam around?
Not sure if I'm reading this the right way, but I think he means that the flow of a pit, with the space created by a circle pit, allows people to be more mobile and 'roam around' if they want to change spots (you can usually skirt a circle pit to get in/out from the front quickly). I like the idea of some movement, too. People dancing, bouncing around, even a bit of craziness during the heavier songs if you're anywhere near the front. I know we're not likely to see circle pits at a pj show (I avoid them anyway, tho they do offer good site lines if you stand one or two people away from them)....
I can't stand the concept of waiting in line for a 'spot' on the floor, and feeling guilty if I don't walk on to the floor and just stand behind the first stationary person I see...which is what so many PJ fans seem to have come to expect at a GA show.

Unless during the show others are worrying about you and giving you a hard time for having a good time, which was the OP's point as I understood it.
