Nothing like standing there for a few minutes to watch an act, and then not being able to move because your feet have sunk into the muck.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I’m glad you guys got a kick out of it. I’m still laughing about it every time I take a step and my knee screams at me.

And Michael, did you miss the part of the post — which was pretty much the whole post — where I made it clear that I would have stayed out of “the pit” had I known they were turning the entire crowd into a pit?

ROFL. I remember you. Were you like one of the six girls in the crowd sitting on the ground with that. Whahaha. I love it. Wake up Memphis. Hair band metal is old news. Rise Against has been moshing with large crowds since I first saw them in 2004 with Bad Religion. I had a sit down with the band at the 93x tent prior to their show and I asked them if they would do it.
Sadly, they were the first band to play. I would have placed them right before Shinedown and Korn.
If your afraid of some bumping, stay out of the pit.

Great writing! For future reference, I recommend that you just walk away from ANYTHING that has death in the title. I’m just sayin’…
