PILLOWCASES?!

[No Username]

Just flipped my take on the pillowcase issue. I sweat a lot at the venue and that racing stripe down my backside looks bad.
So.
If I see a pillowcase on a seat I will wipe the sweat off of my ass crack with it and put it back. I won't be accused of stealing anything.

And if they run out of toilet paper at the venue...well you get the drift.

I was thinking that pillowcases at the show are just plain gross anyhow. If you think about it, one's greasy hair and face are on it all night ~ not to mention their drool. Bleh. However, you've definitely just taken it to another level!!

Pillowcases? Merch bags to "hold a seat"? That's just puerile if you ask me. If there's only enough passes and badges as there are seats, then there should be enough seats to go around, yeah? Otherwise, what's stopping someone from showing up at 4pm, grabbing a seat and "saving it" and leaving, only returning to see the band(s) they came to see?

I'm a PP virgin, so I really shouldn't talk, but I look at it this way... it's "General Admission" which, to me, means "free-for-all" seating. This should mean that unless an actual person holds your seat for you, sorry... you vacate the premises, that seat becomes fair game for the next person wandering by wishing to sit down at any time during the night. Or, put a sign on it "back in 5 mins." or something silly like that.

Just my $0.03...

I thought exactly the same, it's not a bus in my country, it's a big theatre isn't it?

Anyway, as I stated before. I'm going with friends and probably we keep a small tiny space for ourselves while somebody goes: bathroom, drinking, eating, signing. And I should attend most of the bands I care for seated and maybe 2-3 standing, so no problem for someone else to use my seat while I'm away. And of course if I leave the premises, obviously no one is going to keep my seat for 4 hours awaiting for me

Don't know about Center Stage, but when I attended PPVII at the Loft was a sold out show and I never saw the seats full, I doubt this year will be a problem.

You'd be surprised, especially towards the end of the night. The seats get taken, people get tired. I like your attitude though, that's what it should be like.

Regarding your comment about "a bus in your country," I know the feeling.

 

[OrbWeaver]

I like Zod's idea of using the pillow cases and making ghost costumes out of them. I'm in!

And you are absolutely right, even if the headliner blows away a lot of people are going to be tired by the end of day so it's not only fair but ethical to let them seat.

Besides knowing myself, I'm not going to be in the path of people most of the time since many bands don't appeal me, so I'm not going to be a seat brawler (specially considering my height ).

I guess in a way Jasonic expressed it well on another thread. We supposedly are going for the music, the show, the friendship and yet there are arguments because of seats, shirts, cameras, food, merch, etc (and I include myself among the guilty).

To be crudely honest I'm start to be afraid to go, sounds more like a late minute Christmas-on sale shop battlefield than a gathering for siblings in metal.

Peace to all

I totally understand your concern.

Though I can see how some people are only expressing their opinions on certain matters that are not really that important (such as the ones discussed recently), some of them get really worried and freaked out about it.

Sometimes it feels like some people around here (not all, just a few) go into madness mode the week or two before the fest. Think of a politician on their final weeks before election. Or a bride on the weeks that precede her wedding. They just stop making sense.

You'll be fine. You'll have a blast like everybody else. Don't worry about these issues, cause they really don't matter.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Is just that when I came the first time for PPVII I wasn't aware of this forum, I was pampered by my buddies at the Old School forum (that I moderate nowdays).

This time I'm again going to be pampered by the same people but I felt I wanted more info and be involved with people I don't know through this board. And like you said some are in final lap mode and it's kind of scary, specially since things have change in the last two events, so I guess in the end I let myself carried on and contributed to distort the atmosphere towards the dark side.
My apologies to all that I may have offended or troubled with my posts, I'm gonna be stranger in strange land, and thus I must be more humble and be grateful about the hospitality and good will of my fellow metalheads in USA.

If you travel to anther country and the worst thing that happens to you, is someone politely asks you to move your pillowcase, it's been a good vacation.

I broke a toe and jammed a second one... so I will be seated quite a bit at the show. A pillowcase might make for some nice footie cushion

Great! Instead of making a ghost pillow case, you can cut holes for the broken toes.

ghostie toes....sounds like a new halloween candy!

Indeed Greg, indeed . And I'm NOT going to be around with a pillowcase it's SILLY! (besides chances are you and others feel like put my inside, make a knot and toss me in the garbage bin ).

I'm probably gonna stay next to Kitty to ensure she takes care of her toe :Smug:

Kristy, if you get a good seat save Amy & I 2 seats with your pillowcases

If you don't stand, you are not metulz.

 

[wolf2112]

If you don't stand, you are not metulz.

Not for lack of me wanting to, but if you have a permanent back injury like I do, standing for extended periods is not really a viable option...

 

[kittybeast]

must still be in their 20's. You probably don't wear earplugs either cuz it's not metulz ahhh to be young

awwww my gaurdian and toe protector....sadly since one is broken this year I'll have to find something else for Zak to sign

It's getting easier to walk but someone stepped on my foot the other day and YOWZA that hurt. Still taping them I'm on week 3.

...and stu.., heh, never mind.
Yea, I didn't used to wear earplugs. Just try talking to me in a crowded room. My main contribution to the conversation will be "Huh?"

As for "It's not meulz" to sit, I'll be sitting a lot this year for the first time.

Sorry to hear about your toe, but you won't be the only gimp. Still not 100% after breaking my ankle. Can't wear pretty much any footwear that doesn't fall into the athletic category and can't stand for more than about 30 min. Had someone bump into it at the gym yesterday. YOWZA is definitely the word!
