    was that in Row A like around seat 13-14, center stage. If it was the same puke I was right behind you and they eventually cleaned it up right before pearl jam came on....but it smelled the whole fucking night.

    yeah, it was the middle of row A. i arrived post clean up, but man it reeked! that dude was lucky i was not there for the actual puking cause i would have killed him! we were seated in seats 1/2 so the usher let us stand across the aisle closer to the stage since many people didn't want to enter the row.

    the funniest part of the whole thing is that right before we went in my sister (knowing i am puke-phobic) said to me 'i'm surprised this scene doesn't freak you out.. aren't you afraid someone might puke on you??!' i said 'nah, not here.. the fan club people are so into the shows that they don't get sooooo sooo drunk that they are puking'

    boy was i wrong!
    ha. fuckin camden puker.

    I find it hilarious that you say it stunk the whole night and you "couldn't" stand in your seats....because people who were further down the row or in rows behind you were more than happy to stand in the area once it had been cleaned up. But *you* were somehow too prissy to stand there...because you were wearing flip flops or some other wholly inappropriate concert footwear. I think you're just a bunch of wimps who had no problem blocking people in rows C and B just so you could get a better view.

    Do you know how much fecal matter, vomit and disgusting things like pesticides get on your shoes every day?

    cheers

    Sounds like you made the best out of a stinky situation.
    There can be humor and goodness from vomit.

    i'm not too 'prissy' to get vomit on my sneakers, i'm just not in the mood to breathe vomit fumes for 2.5 hours. i am 5 feet tall, my sister is 4'11 and my friend chris is 5'7" so i seriously doubt we were blocking anyone's view.. unless mini-me was rockin out in row B... to those people lucky enough to jump up to the puke-row, you should be thanking the camden puker too cause we all benefitted i guess.

    i'm betting the puker didn't even belong in row A, i have a feeling he snuck up during the opening band in hopes of staying there for the whole show but then puked and ran... but that's just a guess.

    But for some reason the people in the row behind yours and in front of yours, not to mention the people who snuck into your seats, were able to breathe them just fine...that's because it didn't smell after about 30 minutes after it was cleaned up.

    You have it wrong glittergrl, i was exactly behind this incident, in row B. There was a substantial amount of puke on the ground, that was there since the opening act, it was nothing anyone would want to stand in and have their footwear dissolved by gastric acid, especially if they were wearing sandals.

    I saw people try to inform staff several times during Ted Leo and before Pearl Jam came on, a maintenance crew finally cleaned it up right before Pearl Jam played, however the smell of hot puke rotting in the sun all day was still there. However, once the show started it was easily forgotten about as everyone was sweaty and didn't smell great anyways.
