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

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

Yeah not safe. Not only do you risk falling on your arse but also being trampled by other concert goers which can be deadly.

Crowd surfing is just rude. Concerts are expensive and people would rather enjoy the band than carry some sweaty inconsiderate jerk who they probably didn't even see coming. I weigh 130 lbs and I have no upper body strength, so I can't carry dudes passing over me. I started punching crowd surfers and taking their shoes and throwing them because it's so ******* annoying and you see the same people doing it over and over.

AMEN! I've never been crowd surfing but my friends who have had their shoes or wallet stolen. One friend even got tossed.

I'm gonna go with that's dangerous and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Are you sure you're a bit heavy and not just insecure because lots of people suffer body image issues. My mother thinks she's overweight, she's 53 and weighs about 120. Oh and Doc I always love your comments but ouch on the diabetic crack. I am one and not overweight and my doctor told me not to totally deprive myself of sweets or I'd end up going nuts with them eventually. Hope you aren't hurt bad but gotta say either way a bit heavy or not lay off the crowd surfing.
