    Not sure what was worse, the adults yelling "EDDIE" or the 9 year old who came running by me in GA yelling it at the end of a show?

    Oh yeah that little brat got a tambo and didn't put in the rail time, so, my vote is him...

    I can recommend eargasm earplugs.  If you have tiny ears like I do they give you two sets also so you can downsize if you need to.  They’re kinda expensive but I wear them all the time and they’re phenomenal

    Drunk people singing badly into your ear and not knowing the words.
    People pushing past and spilling their cheap beer on you.
    The fact my face seems to say “Please come and talk to me and tell me all the useless facts about the band we are watching. It’s okay, I wasn’t really here to listen to the music anyway”
    When the lead singer is stroppy, yes Billy Corgan, I’m talking about you!
    When people around are jumping around you in the crowd and don’t take any notice of where they are landing and they land on your foot. (Faith No More, Soundwave Adelaide) 🙄

    Pot. It stinks, y'all. I mean really stinks. Can't you go with edibles for a show?

    Only one time in my life I was at a concert and a wookie wouldn't leave me alone. I was about ready to punch him but my lovely GF redirected him from my angst...

    No I do not want to chat when the music is playing, it's not a bar w background music...

    Really? I love the smell of it at a concert.
    Which reminds me- I hate overzealous security guards looking to bust anybody for smoking pot.  ;)

    I'm not looking for people to be busted, but I do not smoke it and it smells rather disgusting to me.

    I don't smoke, yet do like the smell of weed (and cigars too). Though since smoke of any kind is bad for you and there may be people with breathing issues all around, I do defo see the argument for enforcing that strongly.Maybe edibles are the way to go? We probably used to self-police stuff like that and all sorts of other things back in the day but the exponentially increased likelihood of someone going off their rocker when you call them out on their shit means that a lot people are understandably too afraid to speak up for fear of getting assaulted.

    edibles are so much more easy for a show. Don't have to worry about getting busted for smoking , you don't annoy anyone with smoking and they last longer. Took 150mg at the last PJ show in Boston one hour before they went on and lasted the whole show.

    I'm no fan of smoking due to the health hazards to me and others thus I would try edibles if I were into marijuana. 
    I've never tried smoking it or eating. Is the high different?

    yes it is and if you have not done them start with something small like 10mg , 150 is really cause I have done them a bunch over the years and it is the amount that I like as I can stay in control of everything but just feel really good.

    it is fully body and not just your head , again hard to explain and again you want to tread lightly when you start , also can take over an hour to kick in so don't make the mistake of taking more.

    I think with legalization it makes it better as you know how much you are taking then someone made cookies and you have no idea the dose.

    I belted a whole 5L bladder of wine onto my chest when I went to pj at okc a few years ago.  Can’t imagine people at a show not ripped on several substances, but that’s prob cause I grew up seeing dead and phish shows where the spinner tent is usually overflowing 
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I am on Prozac and I still smoke every night. It helps me break down the day and think about how I could have been better. Real self analyzing when you have mild weed paranoia. But be safe and do what is best for you.

    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.
