So it's been like 8 years since I've been to a GA floor PJ show (Seattle 98) and I don't know what to expect for the GA SF shows that are coming up.

Are people gonna be acting stupid, throwing elbows and crowd surfing or have people mellowed down a bit? I'm not quite as limber and spritely as I used to be but I really want to be on the floor to get as close as possible.

When's the last GA show they've played and what was the crowd like?

Thanks for any insights!

    I was at both Atlantic City shows in October. At the beginning of the first show, some guy was crowd surfing and Eddie asked between songs for us not to do that. "We don't need to recreate any videos from the early '90s," he said.

    However, I was in the crowd and was jumping up and down (totally vertical, not hitting anybody) and people around me were not happy. I barely even weigh 150. I cannot help it, when the emotion and climax of certain songs hit me I have to jump up and down. It's really cool if everybody jumps together, and the whole floor becomes one organism. This is not moshing. It's unity.

    Nonethless, people did not like me and I decided to go to the risers in the back.

    So, no, the crowd was not even close to being rough. It was actually very calm.

    Oh, alright...well obviously I was just messin' around because I can see all the shows you've been to. (lucky!) And I understand now that you were just talking in the context of what you listen to...but personally, I wouldn't say they 'barely rock' no matter what I listened to.

    Fair enough... but my taste are mostly punk and hardcore (PJ just happen to be the first band I ever got into way back when... honestly if I first heard them now... I'd laugh... but that's just me.)

    the shows will be mellow, they always are... if you get pushed around some, an elbow here or there... who cares... no one is going to start a circle pit or anything
