    Good edibles are awesome for shows.  I cant imagine 150mg.  I think that would take an elephant down.
    A quick puff of good indica in the vaporizer relieves all anxiety from the days work and helps me sleep like a baby.

    As long as you dont touch me, talk too loudly, pee or puke on me, do whatever you want to have fun. It is a rock show and I too grew up going to see the dead and other bands where there was always tons of partying. Just dont harsh my mellow LOL.

    I will be at MSG and that is about it.  Maybe SF area if one is scheduled. Lottery or stub hub. Either way.
    You must be a guy because as a female, guys feel the need to put their hands on my shoulders all of the time. I'm not always with my husband, but I find that sometimes that doesn't matter. I've learned to basically be tolerant of that. Not so thrilled to be cracked in the ass though. 

    The funniest was we were at Mayhem Fest, standing on the hill and waiting for a band to take the stage. A guy came through the crowd and was happy punching people. (Hard.) M stood up a bit more straight, shoulders back, arms out, hands on hips and dude stopped dead in his tracks. "Damn! You must work out!" He left us alone and bid us a good evening. Made all those evening workouts seem worth it. :smiley:

    Yeah guy here. Of course that preference for having my space respected goes out the window for festivals. And a guy should never touch a woman at a show without permission. There are times it cant be avoided in big crowds but that is it.

    Accidental touch-- I get that. These are not accidental.

    Hugs are always appreciated, TY.

    I had a guy grab my junk at a concert, I can only take it as it was an accident because when I yelled 'WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!" he turned around and dismissed it as nothing, either that or the fact that I was a foot taller and built a wee bit better than he was...

    edited January 2020
    Back in the mid 90s, me and some friends went to a festival. Some meathead started being a mega bozo towards a friend’s girlfriend. Shortly thereafter, meathead is up crowd surfing. As he came over top of us, my friend proceeded to straight gorilla punch the meathead directly in the testicles. This caused the meathead to wither in pain, resulting in him being dropped to the ground And landing on his head.

    Moral of the story, don’t be a bozo at a show.

    I think you meant 'rabbit punch'...

    It depends are the people/band function drunks/stoners, or are they messy drunks/stoners?  That's a key thing to know :)

    The worst part about people drinking beer in the pit is all the people that need to go for piss breaks.  Then you keep having a stream of people trying to get their way into the closer sections of the pit, saying their friends are up there.  In which 90% of them are lying, and you can't tell the 10% telling the truth from the 90% and after a while you stop letting people pass you :)

    Thought of this thread last night.

    Mid 1st set our GA area built a nice communal vibe, had a good energy flow going together. Who but cigarette smoking, whiskey smelling, lip packing Kevin Youkilis/Stone Cold Steve Austin wannabe MF stumbles in like a bouncing bumble to check out his first jam band show. Parks his big shiny bowling ball six inches in front of my face and deflates the whole thing for all of us. Mindless mess. Don’t be that guy lol, I went for piss break next song. Didn’t see him after that, he probably passed out or the cops got him.

    Drunks that want to fight - Learn how to drink in public moron. Drunks that pass out and have to get medical attention. Seriously? Why are you there? 
    People that have no regard for your personal space and just walk wherever - on your poster, running into you etc.
    People that attempt to film the entire show in a section full of noise. Um- that bootleg's gonna suck shit - you should stop. 
    WOO!!! girls Every now and then I get it - it's not annoying, but after every song? Come on!
    People that yell out song titles they want to hear or "I LOVE YOU..." in between songs and/or when someone onstage is talking. 
    People that try to bum your weed. Buy your own mooch. The one joint I bring in ain't getting all 6 of you & your posse stoned.
    If it's one or 2 of you, you're in luck  -if you partake. I don't mind sharing in small numbers. Sometimes they also share - :)
    People that get overzealous with what other people are doing and think they're part of Security. Ran into an acquaintance at a show last year and he tried to police the only walkway between the floor and stairs the ENTIRE show.

    That’s why I eat an edible right before I go in and bring my vape. Share with my crew but no one knows it’s a weed vape and thinks it’s a tobacco one. Legal weed is one thing California has going for it.

    I can't remember if it was the Columbus show or Lexington show that I was at...we were hanging out near the back of GA and some guy came through the crowd walking right toward me.  He passed out like 3 feet in front of me and hit me dead on really hard.  His head and shoulders came down on my shouldeer/chest and just about knocked me over. My first reaction was defensive but he was out cold.  Security got him up and marched him out but goddamn that dude was trashed.

    Damn, that sounds awful. Saw a dude zip tied and being carried out face down by 4 Security Guards at Metallica in Raleigh last year. There's a venue in VA I now avoid due to having dealt with some aggressive crowds at a few shows there. I've also heard some pretty funny shit on some DMB, PJ & RHCP bootlegs. One of my favorite moments from LA 1 2013 is when Ed blasted the chick for shooting bows in the pit (after Corduroy I think):

    dont love, at SOME shows, the lack of energy from the crowd. I get not "moshing" or jumping around like a fucking lunatic, but have some movement or energy to your presence. Really can drop the show feel overall... :o
