Three quick things…
about my thursday night.
1. Nine Inch Nails still rocks your ass.
2. Dicks who think it’s ok to start moshing just anywhere, and end up pushing people around who have no interest get the gas face.
3. Kids are pussies today. Number 2 notwithstanding, the younger set is fucking *subdued*. Not to get all codgerish, but in my day, fully 50-70% of the floor section would have been dancing and moving aggressively. Not aggressively in the “kick your ass” way, but in the “i’m *really* into this” way. The front 20% would have been a giant pit, or several smaller ones of equal total volume. Everyone tonight (with the exception of the dicks above) was rocking in place. I mean, it’s ok, but how can you not want to jump up in the air during Wish? How!? March of the Pigs? Jesus, man, I rock out to that when I’m alone in my house for fucks sake.
Anyway. We had fun, even if Tom and I did have to eat the cost of one extra ticket each, retroactively, since mad fools bailed.

Having never witnessed a mosh pit, I think you would have been disappointed in the human tide that kept rolling at the Tool concert a couple years ago.
Maybe my never having experienced the real thing made me mesmerized by the entire crowd rocking to the same rhythm at the same time. Every once in a while, breakers would materialize and it would get choppy, but mostly the constant roll.
P.S. Went to a Twinemen thing at The Family Wash last year.. Jeff got me up to actually dance (calmly mind you.. I know you’ve seen Jeff dance and this was the complete opposite) and if I hadn’t had my eyes closed, I think I would have been petrified. NO ONE moved. It was surreal.
I actually thought by dancing we may have offended the band just because of the crowd. But nothing was said, so I don’t know.
