I Punched a Man @ York Just To Watch Him Die
So I went to see Metric and they were quite good... as well as the Cheap Suits who I thought stole the show.
So I met a friend in line and we hung out during the concert. Okay... there are three types of people who bug me at concerts
1) Drunks - male or female, I don't care. It's just distrubing to me.
2) Cell phone - please don't talk on your phone during someone's performance. It's just rude.
3) People who use unnecessary force - I'm aware this is a concert and people jump up and down and push and crowd surf and whatever, but there's a difference between seeing Tegan & Sara and Metalica... There's a difference between seeing John Mayer and Slayer... and seeing Metric is a lot more like seeing Tegan & Sara or John Mayer instead of something on the metal end. So there's this guy being a complete asshole, freshman most likely, and probably a concert virgin before tonight. He came to the show in a Maple Leafs' hat and a Raptors T-shirt, which to me kind of shows he just kind of went because it was free and not for any other reason... but that's just an assumption. So a song is playing he starts going nuts, his hands in the air and he starts pushing everyone around him, and right next to him is my friend Wanda. So he pushes her a few times and I'm like "Stop pushing my friend." Keep in my mind this guy is a bit bigger than and I'm all but five foot nine and asian. So I tell him this and then starts doing it again. My friend gives him a shot to the kidneys, but it didn't really phase him. So I put my hand on his shoulder and say "If you touch my friend again, I'm going to choke you out." I felt like Taz or Chuck Lidell. And two seconds later he starts pushing her again and I just punched him in the face and he fell down and walked away.
He was just being an asshole. No one else was pushing around and being an idiot. I believe in friendly concert and mosh pit ettiquette. So remember, if someone falls, pick them back up because you don't want someone getting trampled. If you do drungs (which I don't) don't blow it in anyone's direction. And don't try to act tough by feeling up or pushing around girls.
