sigh.... i am witnessing recently the influx of many many of the clubbers into some of the local (ATL) jam band shows... The men are the big problem, i see plenty of women who are the walking textbook example of these barhopping don't give a damn about the music girls, but atleast they aren't as obnoxious as the guys.... At the last show i attended (galactic) many treated it as a sort of "club" or bar attempting to pick up women or get piss drunk not listen to the music. I was sick of the multiple dudes who pushed me out of the way to get rejected the next "hippy" chick who for the 20th time for the night had to explain that she came for the music not to "hook up" with people... god i hope people realized that, many of the people go to the show FOR THE MUSIC, hooking up with people afterwords is cool but I never really do much more then befriend girls at shows occasionally aquiring someone to dance with me. It just bothers me the numbers of people who don't come for the music, and in a way spoil the atmosphere, sigh, i know i shouldn't be judgemental but it just seems like a huge problem this day, as i noticed at the show and a few others. I had a conversation with a few girls almost all of whom complained of guys hitting on them not between songs or sets but DURING the damn show, come on people listen to the damn music. My friends seem to all agree, I just wish people would realize this, sometimes, though I love to trip at a show, I feel as if I am one of the few people who can enjoy one of these shows sober... its kind of disinheartening to see... so if any of you guys who go to shows are listening to this I would say that most of us are sick of you, especially the ladies (atleast some of them) and that NO the hippy chicks arent attracted to your tucked in polo shirt, kaki (sp) pants and belt, or your lame ass pick up lines (ps. i am a guy) anyways peace to all... and if you people have any similar experiences please share
moving to another section to get the general consensus (probably the music section)
