wewt, it was awsome :D I got there, met up with my friends, and the line was SUPER long, but everybody was moving in at pretty much a walking pace. so we decide just to cut in line, nobody cared though. best bands were Story of the Year, Flogging Molly, and New Found Glory. can't remember the names of some others. when Flogging Molly was almost done, everybody started throwing their water bottles up in the air, now that was ALOT of water bottles on account that there was close to a thousand people attending the concert, I myself didn't have a water bottle but got hit in the back of the head twice with them. as soon as NFG got on stage, the entire crowd lurched forward trying to get as close as possible, lifting people up on top of the crowd like crazy. and, of course I got hit 3 times in the head when they came from behind me - the people just fell on top of me :\ almost lost my glasses because of it too. then, they called for a HUGE circle pit. if you don't know what a circle pit is, it's basically when a crowd makes a circle right in the middle and just run around in it/push eachother around alot. gets kind of violent sometimes, somebody got a concussion because of it and they had to call an ambulance. it wasn't uncommon for somebody to be lifted up on top of the crowd and then just fall back on the ground :) when New Found Glory was almost done, I tried to make my way out of the huge mass of people. I got out, passed by the huge portable half-pipe where people were *trying* to skate. only one good person on it, and he was on a bike - go figure - and make my way to the Playstation 2 tent where they have actual chairs.
after the concert, I have to get a ride with my friends to a Pilot gas station so my brother can pick me up. and, of course, we almost crash. twice. the first time she was going too fast and barley stopped at a stop light like half a foot from the car in front of us, the second time she was trying to switch lanes when another car just flies by us forcing us to almost go out of control. I never did like her driving.

just thought like putting out my thoughts, pretty bored, have a bad sunburn, and only got 5 hours of sleep last night.

It's called a mosh pit, ****. Almost all moshers are ass holes. Theres supposed to be a code of etiquette but theres always one or two *******/wiggers who want to hurt people. Course, then a redneck steps in and straightens it out..

It's all body slamming and shoving. Of course your going to get touched. If they really were touched "down there" then they should of hauled off and aced the queer that did it.

I saw NFG at this tiny, < 500 person gig in london, supported by Starting Line and Finch. It was awesome. I like Finch's songs, but they suck live, and i dont like Starting Lines songs, but they rock live. NFG are awesome at both.

the only people I didn't like at the Vans Tour were the ones from our town, Albequrque(however you spell it). the women COULD NOT SING for crap. even then, you couldn't hear them over the song itself.

Negatory, circle pit is a variation of a moshpit, it's gotta have a flow, or it's just a regular moshpit in a circle shape.

What venue? Funnest venue in london has to be the barfly, only because it's fuxing TINY :D

Nice, Ive never been a real huge fan of that generation of punk or w/e you call it. Im more into Greenday and dashboard confessional punk and pretty much any sort of heavy moshpit music. Ive gone to the warped tour twice and had a good time both. I went on the halfpipe and scared the shit out of poser skaters who just ollie and say they are a skater by flying up and down the halfpipe and stalling.
