I bought a bottled water and headed upstairs to the balcony. "That was crazy!" I was having the time of my life.Īll that jumping around made me quite thirsty.
"Wow," I thought when I was back on the ground again. But you take that chance when you crowd surf. This involves a lot of strangers touching you, which can feel weird. In case you don’t know, crowd surfing is when you’re lifted into the crowd and people push you above their heads. By the time Blink came on stage, my friends and I were already crowd surfing. My friends and I took one look at each other and then jumped in the mosh pit.
Depending on the type of music and fans it attracts, moshing can be either fun or rough.īut the crowd for this concert was pretty easy going. Pretty soon, you’re covered in sweat, but it’s not necessarily your own. In case you’ve never been in a mosh pit before, here’s what happens: People jump around to music and slam against each other, as a form of dancing. The opening acts, Alkaline Trio and No Motif totally pumped me up.Įveryone got into it and crowded into the mosh pit. It only took a few minutes of listening to the music before I traded my pop rock self for punk. Looking back on that day now I just laugh. Would they call me a prep? A jack? Throw stuff at me? Ok, I was dead nervous if you want to know the truth. I got to the Paladium that day feeling kind of nervous and wondered if I’d fit in with all these punk fans. My taste in music consisted of the Spice Girls, ‘N Sync and bands like that. I was at a concert for Blink 182 with a bunch of friends who were already in the punk scene.
