Its brilliant. Very draining though., and suprisingly safe. I have been to about 50 concerts over the course of 6 years, and never really sustained serious injury. Blink 182 at the Camden Electric Ballroom was tough, mainly because of the pop-punk poseurs there, so the genuine punks wanted to set an example. I got elbowed in the face once (purely by accident) and about 3 times have I left with some bruises or soreness. We all look out for each other, if someone falls down, everyone stops around them to shield him and pick him up. You quite often see kids in there. Be warned about googling for moshing though, British moshing is a bit different to US moshing. British moshing basically everyone just bounces off each other randomly whilst pushing each other about. US moshing basically involves running around in a circle. (Yeah, I can't really see the fun in that either)
So many good gigs coming up, I wish I could go to them all. Reel Big Fish, Social Distortion Alkaline Trio, Sum 41, No Use For A Name, and Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. Noone fancies lending me some money do they?
Just spotted Millencolin & Flogging Molly at the same gig. I couldn't let those tickets go!
