godreamAs a average-sized totally-not-intimidating-looking blonde girl who gets pretty nervous walking alone at night, it makes me kind of happy to hear the guys behind me who've been trying to shove their way to the front of the concert crowd mutter about "that girl in the green shirt just won't budge". To which I kinda turned and smiled and shrugged -- because they were right behind me and how could I not hear? -- and kept holding my ground. Stand near the mosh pit at ska shows and rock shows stop being a big deal, I guess?
(I might feel like a bit of a jerk for it, since they were allegedly trying to get to their friends, except they were also just as casually saying "we can shove the girl in blue a little" about one of my friends. And they were taller than me, so I wouldn't have been able to see anything past them.)
The band was Third Eye Blind, and they were pretty kickass. I wasn't close enough to really watch what they were doing (my ideal concert experience involves staring at guitarists' hands) but they were incredibly energetic and the crowd was really into it. Lots of old hits and a bunch of new songs. I'd never seen them live before, and I really liked it -- they played most songs pretty straight but they weren't afraid to screw around a little and they clearly adored being in front of a crowd and were pretty adept at closing that crowd-band-crowd-band energy feedback loop.
