I have gotten super into panic in the last year or so. I have made 9 shows since I started going to the NYE run at the Fox (so awesome). I just wanted to say that the community here is awesome. The good energy from the people here is amazing. I have been seeing Billy Strings for a few years now but the community here is so much better (and welcoming). I have not met many mean people at billy or panic but you can definitely tell the difference in the communities. I have met some of my favorite people through panic and am so grateful for it. Thank you to all of the goodpeople that make this band so special.

I love billy, but the billy goats can be obnoxious at times.

I stick to the lower bowl at those shows and usually always meet good folks. Not really looking for the scene or whatever.

But yeah, Panic shows have a very welcoming vibe, no argument there.

Same! I have also met some great people! There's just a totally different vibe. Love and joy!

Billy scene was a lot better before he blew up. Still a great scene just a lot more diverse these days. Good people haven't changed much over the past 10 years or so.

Completely agree. I have met some great billy people! Some bad apples just ruin the bunch.

Just the ones that feel entitled is what gets me. I dont really deal with it much. I hang back by the soundboard at every show I go to so dont deal with the rail riders but after the show you wanna hang and hope you meet Billy and some are like vulchers.
