So even though I was passed out on the couch at 9pm while watching the Pens vs. Isles game, I went back into the city at 10pm to make the Finntroll show with Liz. A twitter friend (who is full of AWESOME, btw) got us in for free! Which, also, was great, because they weren't worth paying $30 for, definitely. But they were worth two gin & tonics and the privilege of being back in the crowd at a fucking headbangin' metal show! \m/
I didn't exactly forget how much I like being on the outskirts of a mosh pit, but this gave me a visceral reminder. Haven't been to a moshing sort of show in almost a year now, and I MISSED IT OKAY! It's even better when it's not your FAVE BAND EVAR OMG. Because then you don't care about being in the front row to be able to see the band and their interactions, or making cow eyes at them, etc. Instead, it's just the experience of the crowd and the pushing and shoving and EXHILERATION! \o/
No bruises or anything (it was kind of lame because some guys right behind us were being all protective or just not going along with the moshing or something), but I definitely got stepped on the backs of my calves, an elbow to the cheekbone and at some point someone hit my head and my chin went into the back of the (really tall) guy in front of me. FUN TIMES. I did get some sort of scratch on my arm and have no idea how it got there.
SO. This show has srsly whet my appetite for more moshing and we got tix for the Hellyeah show, so I am REALLY EXCITED! Also, Hole is the next day! So I guess I will be super tired/sore that week?
Should I be ashamed to say that at some point (when the music was a bit boring but the crowd was good), I was imagining that I was at a Hard Core Logo concert and Hugh/Joe was singing "Who the Hell Do You Think You Are?"
