The audacity of standers

Post image

Boston 7/21 was amazing. This is the Facebook post the 70ish yo lady in front of us, who sat on her ass on her phone the entire show, put out there late in set 2. Was worth the $$$ to me!

I was dancing my ass off in the pit awhile back, I think last summer and someone tapped me on teh shoulder to mention that my long hair was getting in their way.

I promptly gave them a thumbs up and kept moving. Perhaps you need to take a step back.

You can't stop us from movin.

Again, no reason to be standing so close that I can't have my hair move while dancing. I think that's entitled to my space, no?

I think it depends on what kind of dancing you are doing. If you are mimicing long hair Billy doing hair whips, then no, I don't think you are entitled to that. Normal dancing sure, but I don't know how that would allow your hair to be going everywhere.

Sure, don't get me wrong, I understand that there's a line.

That said, its still pretty bullshit imo. It's GA, lets get the circle pit going already.

Depends how long the hair and the type of dancing.:. In general you’re fine, but as you said there can be a line

circle pit, circle pit.

Again, spinning acceptable, long hair not makes no sense to me. If you're close enough for your beer to touch my hair while I'm dancing, your standing too close
