Why anyone, male or femyle would enter such a place escapes me. carp>> actually, i was lucky enough to see the Subhumans last fall in Philly durring their reunion tour. i'm not some huge punk rocker, both in apperance & physical stature, but i felt extremely welcome at this show and people even in the pit were pretty compasionate. since we wanted to get up close to the stage we also ended up where the pit area opened up once the band started playing, and a couple times both of us got sucked in, and my friend fell twice. both times a bunch of people surrounded her in a circle so noone could step on her untill she was helped up... i even got my glasses knocked off, and found them later placed aside the stage so they wouldn't be trampled(any more than they were).... and people were holding up lost items at the end of the show till someone claimed them. i think the atmoshpere just depends on what type of people are comming to these shows.... but your right, some people will use it as an oppertunity to grope someone without many consequences... _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
