The Grand Kerfuffle

I have a saying that every night is the best night of my life. Last night was no exception. Augustana, HelloGoodbye, and Shiny Toy Guns. I took some footage... I will upload that later. It has been a while since I have been to a concert so it was nice. I did say some quite foul words to a guy who was throwing himself against everyone and elbowing them (of which I feel bad about) but other than that it was fun. I enjoy being in the middle of mosh pits. I was even at the very front for the majority of the time. It was so cool to have these bands mere feet away. Anyone who knows me knows I have sensitive ears though. Half way through Shiny Toy Guns (thankfully they were headlining so it was almost over anyway) I grabbed a security guard and told him I wanted out. The security guards stand between the space between the gate and the stage. I had been holding my ears in for a quite a while because it was so loud I thought my ears were either going to bust or bleed. I knew there was NO WAY I was going to be able to make my way BACK out of the crowd so I knew my only option was forward. The security guard leaned ALL the way over the gate and picked me up. I ended up standing straight up on the fence at one point and I felt like a total rock star. Don't ask me why. I have never crowd surfed. I imagine this would have been the same feeling. Gratefully I was pulled out of the crowd and I made my way to the VERY back of the lawn. It was actually a cool sight to be at the very back. I think my ears were more than grateful though I couldn't really hear for the rest of the night. They are back to normal today though. I am glad. I wonder how tonight's adventures will play out...
