Oh that was directed at me? What thread was that from again?Kragg said:'twas @Disaster Button for an earlier topic, i garbled the quote, it used to look way worseJulianking93 said:
A story unrelated to gigs, but related to sexual assault.
I went to a holiday park this year with my family, and was bored out of my mind because there wasn't much for me (18 years old) to do. I found a Guitar Hero arcade cabinet and thought, why not?
Halfway through shredding a bitchin' solo on Knights of Cydonia, some girl pinched my ass. I jumped, nearly failed but recovered. Then she did it again, and again. I failed because of her, and when I turned around she was only 15 or something. Fucking jailbait! I should have charged her the price of a song

I once got hit in the head by a guy who were crowd-surfing, probably by his foot, which made me hunch down for a sec to clutch my head.
Then as I were getting back up, I get hit in the head by the same guy again, only this time by his ass, as he was right above me at that point.
Not one of my better days.

Well, I've gone to rather tame concerts (Dream Theater and Prog Nation '08 & '09), so I've never dealt with any of that.
I'm also okay with people touching my hair. Ruffling it, I won't stand for, but stroking it I'm fine with.

I hear that in some parts of the world murder is encouraged as long as there is some mosh pit worthy music going on in the background.Replay107 said:
Also, welcome to the Escapist! I'm a little proud someone's first post was in a thread of mine. Enjoy your stay and best keep out of the basement, for your own safety.
Some guy who was on PCP or something. Came up to me, and ripped some of my chest hairs off... with his teeth.. and claimed he was a shark
so yeah... wierd
so yeah... wierd
Well, SH!T. Either get away from the guy or:Disaster Button said:
1. Kick him in the balls HARD so that he doubles over, and as soon as his head is within range
2. HEADBUTT the guy in the NOSE with your FOREHEAD as hard as you can, breaking the bone and potentially driving it up his skull.
NEVER let yourself be assaulted just because the enemy is bigger or stronger than you. I'm 5'3", but I've had to keep in mind the reality of our sex/gender: we are considered prey.
Despite our so called civilized society, there is still the ENEMY. There will always be the ENEMY.
Of course, the only concerts I ever go to are musicals, so the people there are more interested in the performance. You get to dress a little fancy and still feel attractive without worrying about sexual assault. "Wicked" is a wonderful musical. ^_^
I've been to a few concerts before, some really big ones too, and I'm going to one very soon. I have this severe medical condition which has caused all my hair to fall out and I'm kinda worried someone is gonna pull off my hat that I wear for appearances sake. :S
I've always wanted to know how to headbutt somoene properly, this will be good to remember. As much as I appreciate this, I am a guy so headbutting the girls probably wouldn't have gone down very well. And I doubt I'd have been able to do it to the guy and get away quick enough. People were so close together that the entire crowd was practically one giant person.Paksenarrion said:
But the headbutting advice will come in useful in case I'm ever caught in this situation, or worse, so thank you.
That sounds like it would suck. The worst thing that has happened to me like that is when some guy who was probably one of the tallest guys in the city sat in front of me in a theater. He was wearing a pinstripe suit, and had a bit of a beard and long blond hair. He looked like someone stuck Walter Sullivan's face on Jack Skellington. He was like 7 and a half feet tall! I moved right after he sat down.
I encourage groping upon my person by both genders.
My friends have come to expect this from me.
We're all comfortable with groping each other for laughs...
I'm sure we're not the only group like that.

I bet there's a really good game of MW2 online right now, why don't you go play?
OT: The Big Pink were supporting Muse last year, and they had access to all of Muse's infamous laser show technology
What do they do?
Blast a FRIKKIN' LIGHTHOUSE of a strobe light at the crowd really fast for the entire song for no reason. It made my eyes hurt, and when I looked away I could see thousands of other people either looking away, covering their eyes or looking queasy
What an awful band
It's common courtesy for the outer barrier of the circle pit to quickly pick up anyone who falls... And for everyone who knows what they are doing to beat the shit out of all the screamo kids trying out their karate moves.
I've never been groped, probably more my fault than anyone elses. But at a Reel Big Fish show I have had to single handedly hold up a crowd surfer while waiting for someone to help me shove them further. Which, by the end of the night, is almost impossible seeing as everyone was out of energy by then.
Also, a girl crowd surfing better not act surprised that they get horribly horribly groped. It's atrocious and reprehensible but you know that it's coming. Don't crowd surf and you won't have to worry.

I went to a concert with some local bands and got in a mosh pit. I was then picked up by the biggest guy in the whole concert, thrown halfway across the room, then slid another quarter of it on my ass. Not gonna lie, it was hilarious, but it hurt!
Color me embarrassed! Well, I suppose if the attention is enjoyable or somewhat flattering, it's your prerogative to act on or dismiss the action...and in cases where you're crowded in like tuna in a tin can, I believe you can use the bended knees of nearby grinders to climb up over and on top of the shoulders of the crowd and somewhat crowd "rooftop" run your way to safety?Disaster Button said:
Let's see...you can also make a human stepping stool in a crowded environment by tripping someone (place your foot behind their heel and push them backwards...the technique is hard to explain without a visual demonstration) and then climbing on top of them as they fall?
Oh, and in virtually all cases, run or get away from the scene of the crime, either melding back into the shadows or towards the bouncer/law authority, whichever you feel is safer.
