my brother and I have a strict set of rules regarding this. you pee when the opening band is playing their last song and ONLY when the opening band is playing their last song.

Thing is, it's different over here. GA shows mean if you leave to go for a piss...or get a drink, you lose your place in the crowd. For this reason...i don't drink at shows, or have piss breaks really.

But, if I was at a seated show, I would if I needed to, but not while the act I came to see was playing. Your system seems logical to me, as everyone will go AFTER the opening band has finished.

dave my man! what be happenin? i agree...GA shows are a tough call...usually don't go as nuts during the pre-concert festivities for a GA show.

oh yeah well GA changes the entire system. these rules are generally for big shows like pearl jam, foo fighters...anything we're stoked to see and don't want to miss a second of. Over here, those shows are usually assigned seating. It doesn't really apply to club shows and stuff.

Our rules also include drinking rules to facilitate adherence to the rules: day of show NO COFFEE. No beer. HALF your drink with dinner. (of course the last time I saw pearl jam I ended up getting dehydrated and almost passing out, but it was worth it. I wasn't going to be the person who was in the ladies' room when they played leash for the first time in 12 years).

I'm the same. If i'm going to a show where I know it's going to be packed...I pretty much don't drink much that day, other than what I need to stay alive.

At least at a concert you can hear the music still.

I will sit there parched, just so I won't have to leave. Drives me crazy to miss even a moment.

Me too! I always bring mints to get me through!

Correct me if i'm wrong...but I recall a story in which you and some friends proceeded to sit down in the middle of a concert?

exactly!!! there is a beginning and end for everything.......cookies, love, concerts, life......

well, I dont think there is a beginning and end to life. everything is a cycle - things spin in and out of consciousness. the only things that have beginnings and ends are concrete inanimates...and even these have multiple trips through a cycle. that book, may have a beginning for you and once completed it has ended, but think of the larger picture...do you burn the book when you are through? do you annihilate it's very existence?? or do you pass it to someone else, or put it away and reading it again...starting up the cycle once more...

not to be disgusting but the cookies didn't end either.

concerts are relived in memory, or filmed and watched repeatedly...

everything and everyone is not new we are all very old and we keep bumping about...

maybe this will help when thinking of infinite realism of the universe.
we named it because our human brains need to name everything...but truly it is everything and everywhere...and thus needs no name or definition...it is. it just IS.

the fact that what we expect to happen actually effects what does happen. damn quantum mechanics. also, people who don't like cookies.

I can't get it. It's said "there's always something after". but then ? What's after the universe ? What's in is the universe...?
When I satrt thinking about it, I can't stop.

I have this problem.. things that I can't see seem to make my mind do flips

I also have a horrible time understanding the concept of death. As I've said in threads, I have actually had panic attacks because I have thrown myself into this never ending loop of thinking about life just stopping and yet life just going on without you..

scares me.

1. Piss breaks at a concert.





will never understand that.

piss breaks, talking to your friends while the band plays, trying to find friends in other sections while the band.......pretty much doing anything other than watching the band play drives me nuts......why the fuck did you buy a ticket and come to the show just to be a social butterfly?..... :mad:

You can take it further - if you get really well hydrated the few days before the show, and early in the day, the day of, you will feel fine in the evening without drinking much. For GA shows you make friends (hopefully) with some people around you so they'll save your spot, so you can run out.

I'll never really understand how people believe in religion/God. I do know algebra though.

I will never comprehend how vast the universe is. And I will never comprehend how we got here, why we are here and most importantly, whether or not it matters if we ever figure it out.

But, I enjoy pondering these things.

Here's one that i don't understand...why is it I am ALWAYS near the really rad dude who happened to take his girlfriend or whatever to see Pearl Jam, and she:
1. only knows Jeremy, Betterman, and maybe Black. oh, and she hates evenflow.
2. Doesn't like them so she ends up sitting through the concert
3. wants to leave early
4. Keeps screetching for "betterman" and then proceeds to sing that song TO him.
5. keeps getting that poor fuck to get her a beer...while the band is playing.

why the HELL does this dude waste a ticket?? And when she is sitting down, she wants other people (namely ME) to sit down so she can see...

I have verbally bitch slapped a few girls over this, fellahs, so please unless you want her to be standing there going "are you going to let her talk to me like that???" to you, don't bring THAT girl. bring another dude, or your sister or whoever...
because, you will not get any action later that night. she will definitely be smarting over the lashing I will give her. . . and you will be very emasculated since I will CALL YOU OUT...for being a douche and bringing her.

end of rant.
btw Cutback if that was you at the forum shows in 06, dude I am sorry...but bitch had it coming.

um I was at that show.

but I went with about 4 dudes. . . and we were like DAVE!!!! so it was cool. I really hate the "group piss/beer breaks" what the hell do these people do when they are at work?? wait for a coworker to have to take a leak? jeeesus, you're a big boy...you can drop trou without your buddy, can't you?? :mad:

At the PJ night 1 SF show this woman was sitting there literally saying "are they done after this song?" in a whiny voice. it was the start of the first encore. oh, GOD she pissed me off. She was telling him how much she had to do at work the next day during FOOTSTEPS. I was like...oh bitch better not fuck with the possibility of the Mamasan...and then with ONCE she said "oh, god I think I remember this song!" so I was like "GOOD FOR YOU YOU FUCKING IDIOT! SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!! SIT THERE AND WET YOUR LIPS FOR THE BLOW JOB IN THE PARKING GARAGE!" the two dudes to the right of her were like hysterical over that one.

sigh...The bad thing about GA tix are that I can end up sitting next to some one who actually wants to hear "teen spirit" (TRUE! Night 3 SF) :rolleyes:
