VELVET REVOLVER

Wednesday night I attended the Velvet Revolver concert in Pittsburgh. Velvet Revolver is one of my favorite bands with Guns N' Roses meeting Stone Temple Pilots.

Prior to the concert I did enough drinking that when the show started I thought crowd surfing would be a good idea. I've always been against mosh pits, as is my stance on any activity that involves large men hitting me with their elbows. But crowd surfing seemed like a good experience and I wanted to see if it was as much fun as people claim it to be.

I was thrusted into the air and remember being tossed through the crowd. Then suddenly I was projected over a barrier and fell directly onto my knee in front of the stage. Quickly security grabbed me and using superior security tactics...wrote a line on my hand with black marker.

Days later, I am still limping. So basically, crowd surfing is a real blast and the concert was awesome.

Reviews of the show.
