About seeing rock concertWhat should I bring inside?Bring as little as possible into a show, as you’ll have no real way of setting it down once you get situated. Some good things to bring include: * Sealed bottled water * Compact digital camera * Gum/mints * Cash (merchandise tables only accept cash) * Ear plugs * Phone What not to bring: * Alcohol * Drugs * Food * Sweater * Large bag * Pocket knife * Sunglasses * Jewelry * Large camera/video camera * Saran-wrapped brick of flour What Should I do in case of… Moshers Mosh pits do, from time to time, form at a modern concert. If you are at a show that features aggressive music, and you don’t want to be part of a mosh, your best bet is to stand well back from the stage. Generally, only very enthusiastic fans engage in moshing, and it’s an accepted norm that moshers should stay at the front of the crowd. If, however, you find an unexpected mosh pit developing around you, your worst move is to stay put and hope it goes away. If you’re standing at the edge of a mosh pit, bodies will almost certainly be flung against you. Those people will not notice your disdainful scowls. I know that it’s not the perfect solution, but you really are better off just moving away. http://bygonebureau.com/2007/11/1...-to-attend-an-indie-rock-concert/ |
