Gig etiquette
Today, I went to see my favorite band. It was all amazing and great until I decided to go crowd surfing. I was maybe too heavy because people jumped away instead of catching me. I fell right on my tailbone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a local concert. The singer from my favorite band stage-dived and I got to catch him. Unfortunately I was the only one to catch him. The next thing I know I'm pinned between him and the concrete floor as he finishes whatever part of the song he was on. He was fine, I hit my head. FML
Today, I was performing for a fairly large crowd with my band. I decided it would look cool to stand on one of the speakers and sing from there. It did look pretty cool for a bit until I tried to step off and fell face-first on the floor mid-song. FML
Today, my band played its first real gig. It was going well, and I, the vocalist, thought it would be a good idea to stage dive. I underestimated the distance between the stage and the crowd and crashed into the floor. FML
Today, my friends and I got front stage tickets to our favorite band. Being my first concert, we planned to start a small mosh pit in the back. I got knocked out by my best friend's elbow and was rushed to the hospital, during the first song. FML
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML
Today, my favorite song came on and I started playing air guitar and headbanging to it. I didn't realize just how close I was to the chair next to me and went face first into the metal back. FML
Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML
Today, my band was playing its first serious gig. I was in the middle of a solo when a drunk guy tackled me, causing me to crash into the drums, breaking them and my guitar, hitting our drummer, knocking him out. FML
Today, I went to an indoor trampoline park. This would usually be fun, except that I got there, broke my ankle, and left in an ambulance, all before my friends even arrived. FML
Today, while playing a gig with my band, I tried pulling the classic "playing the guitar with one foot on the monitor" rock-star pose. However, I misjudged the height of the monitor, didn't notice the puddle of beer in front of it, slipped, and fell off the stage into the security guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never crowd surf. You leave that to the actual rock stars on stage.

It's not even the heavy ones, its usually the taller ones. I have all the skills needed to be a flyer (girl at the top), but at 5 foot 5, I'm a base (one of the girls on the bottom). Usually 5 foot 2 is the cut off for flying. I'm only allowed to fly if I have guys under me because they're taller than me and my height won't be an issue with them.

I refuse to help crowd surfers. Especially the ones heavier than me or the violent ones. After going to punk shows. I've found half the crowd surfers (mostly dudes) would make it an excuse to kick people's heads as they were being pushed around. Some guy had the audacity to kick the back of my head twice because I didn't acknowledge him. But he was kicking all around. They were "moshing" & expected to be lifted. **** that. It's one or the other, assholes! After many inconsiderate violent crowd surfers I punch all the violent ones down to protect the people getting kicked & punched in the face. **** crowd surfers. Especially in punk shows.

Unless it is YOUR concert and you decide to dive off the stage into a crowd of adoring fans, YDI entirely.

That's a weird imagery. You start on one end of the crowd fully clothed, and wind up on the other end with no purse, no clothes and pregnant.

It might not be your weight, some people don't want to help crowdsurfers, because it's rather annoying or some people are dumb enough to literally jump in on the crowd. I wouldn't have helped you either, I hate crowdsurfers. One guy kicked me in the face with his heavy boots and broke my nose. I had to leave my spot at my favorite band, because of that idiot. So yeah, you deserve it.

Maybe op wasnt fat, but just smelled really bad. I mean, who wants that going over their heads.

Ouch, I'll bet you broken/bruised tailbone is going to interrupt the vigorous exercise regime you obviously have been on. The good news is when you heal, you'll be so fat, you will KNOW that you are too "heavy" to crowd surf.

Usually, they leave the heavy cheerleaders on the bus to guard the belongings of the hot ones:)

I'm sorry, but with ticket prices what they are, I'm at a concert to see the band, not deal with someone else's foolish antics. YDI
