[QUOTE="BogusRendition:273684"]the_reverend said:[QUOTE]to justin: the security was fine over all, but they definitely had some buttholes. there was a girl there that was really nice to carina and I. also, in the photo pit was a guy, Bruce, who is super nice and talked to us about blowing his hearing seeing pink floyd and the stones. I think that they were a little bit overwelmed by the crowd surfers... I think they normally do lower key shows. I saw you backing them up. to mark (mmmp): it's awesome that the lineup changes since the same line up every night would be lame. I hope that the set-lists change every night too. the sound scan ordering is semi-lame, but whatever. I just hope that kids pay attention so they don't miss the bands they are going to see.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the guys in the photo pit were really cool. Especially that black dude, the dude with the mustach and their superviser in the blue shirt, black hair and with the head set. Thats why I felt weird about catagorizing them as a whole. This one dude in particular really pissed me off though. He was on the side corner between the sound stuff and photo pit and he looked like Dustin Hoofman (the acter) mixed with some other actor who sorta looks like Dustin Hoofman and plays the crooked cop in the movie Money Talks with Chris Tucker and Charly Sheen. This dude looked like that only with glasses and had a red shirt and head set. He gave me shit a few times, first was when I didn't have my pass stuck on my shirt (which I never do anyways cause they always peel off) and started screaming at me about which shirt I was going to put it on ( I had a long sleeve on as well at the time and started to put it on my other shirt and he flips out). Then he gave me shit later when I came threw a different time and had a few pins stuck in the pass holding it to my fucking shirt claiming that it obstructed the veiw (that one I really didn't get). I sorta just laughed at him and I guess he didn't like that but a bunch of other people started laughing at him and he let it go. Then during the Unearth set when all the crowd surfers were coming over at once and the guys up front were hopelessly under staffed (well not hopelessly, but understaffed still) and of course given that there I was, as Ive done at the Palladium numerous times, I grabed a couple of kids that were about to fly over the barrier onto the floor, or helped the guys down off the barricade if there wasn't anyone else to back them up. The amount of kids crowd surfing all at once simply wasn't something that happens at every single concert, especially ones of that size. And the guys on surfer duty up front and saw this and thanked me profusely. I guess as soon as this guy (the one that looks like Dustin Hoofman) saw that I was still up front after the 3 song for photos and that I wasnt taking pictures anymore, he made his way over and started screaming at me to "get the hell outta here!" and I know I shouldn't have offered cause I knew the answer due to the fact that Im not insured and could sue then if I got hurt, but I asked if they "wanted and extra body to help out," and as he was replying with something like "thats not you're fucking job" and starts getting in my face like he's just dieing for the cue to kick the shit out of me (all the while he has his back to the crowd) along comes a kid of the barrier and a guess I should have just stood there and let the kid fall on this guys head, but I shoved him out of the way and held the kid from coming over till 2 other guys got there to bring him over. Then I kinda storm off, pissed and annoyed. Plenty of people saw this happen, security guys, kids up front, people on side stage, but I guess the guy figured I was "attacking" him or it could be the excuse to be able to claim I'd attacked him and flies after me with some other dude and they tackle me and slam me up against the wall screaming at me not to ever EVER do that again. As they loosened their grip and actually listened to what I had to say, their only responce was about the legal issues that could entail, which of course make sense, but damn, not even a shred of a "thanks anyways." In the heat of the moment I guess I really just should have let the kid fall on the guys head. I told the "other guy" given that the Dustin Hoofman dude refused to even have a "friendly chat from across the baricade" that it was simply a shame that what I felt like was an act that was in pretty damn good faith was taken as an attack. Then his response was more bullshit about legal issues. All I got was a mute face in return when I asked him if it made sense of me to save that guy given that there just wasnt anyone else there. I know they know they were the ones that were wrong, but how they acted during and after was very frustrating. Even when I took my leave from the photo pit after LOG's 3 songs and gave the Dustin Hoofman dude a salute and a smile, he still stared blankly throuough me. I guess if there'd been a little history between the 2 of us, maybe him being so aggresive from the first second he saw me might make more sense, but I'd never seen the bastard till then. Guess to him I'm nothing more then some "hippy" with dreds that doesn't contribute to his society, which if you wanna call it "his" society, I unfortunaly most certinaly do contribute. Oh well. Life must be pretty miserable for him indeed. The other dude who pissed me off was the short bald italian looking guy with the big chin who seems to be the head of SMG security. He has one of those ex-cop looks to the way he struts around, and other people working for him folow him like he's the tough kid with the tree house and if they do anything wrong they wont get to be in his club. I didn't have any conflicts with him myself, but I saw him just being a complete asshole to kids on Saturday and at the other time I was there which was the Slip, log, shads show a few months ago. Stuff I really wish I had the balls to get close to with my camera. Anyways, I think I just wrote a whole book. Anyone who needs a person to go throw rocks at, Im sure those 2 live in the Lowell area, and in my opinion, they deserve it. It'd be one of those times where indeed the pen is more powerful then the sword, but fuck it anyways.[/QUOTE]
