PILLOWCASES?!

[FriendOfEntropy]

I'm all for this. Like Charlie Brown, I will go a little overboard with the scissors, I'm sure.

I say we steal all the pillowcases we can, cut holes for eyes, and then run around, haunting the venue, during DSO like the ghosts of ProgPower past.

Sounds like we are going to have a 'ladies' row for those of us that need to sit this year. It's getting more and more difficult as well as painful to stand for long periods of time, as well as walk long distances, and I get really tired pretty quick. I've been sitting more and more each year, and I think this year I'm going to really try to take it easy so I'm not so sick when I get home. I just hate having to sit down at a concert. Goes against my nature.

And I will have my earplugs in too! But no pillowcase...

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

Like I said before, going deaf is metal. I don't wear them

I might have to snag one for trick or treating this year...

And like I said before I want to enjoy metal for many years more, not planning in going deaf soon, so I do wear them...PROUDLY!

I wear musician's plugs / decibel reducers. Best $150 I ever spent!

As I've done in the past. If no one is sitting there and I haven't seen a person in the seat for more than 10 minutes. I sit my behind down.... And if the person is NICE when they come back, I'll get up.


The only seat saver is your ass... And I don't mean your ass of a friend. *said in jest

I couldn't agee more with this post and had to follow-up after seeing folks using the ridiculous pillowcases/towels at the showcase last night. What is really unbelievable is some of the foks indicated they were first time attendees! What the heck??? Where is our common courtesy? If you walked up to a park bench and it had a pillowcase/towel you would just move it and sit down right? If someone was sitting there you would ask and hopefully, if they said my "friend" (whoever) went to get ice cream (whatever) you would move on and find another seat. Why should this be any different, it is a METAL show for crying out loud you can't sit down a pillowcase/towel and walk away with no one to save your seat for several sets and expect it to be available when you return. And really, if you have exhausted yourself on the floor, why go into the stand between sets to find a seat some poor girl (probably me) is saving for her boyfriend who had to grab another beer when the seats ON the floor tend to remain (open for obvious reasons). Those pillowcases have to go, if folks start getting charged for them by their hotel they won't be so willing to pretend they are seat savers.

Neither security nor I recognize stupid ass pillow cases as "seatsavers."

Damn right! All the oldschoolers know to use pizza crust...just like it's always been done...

Respect the crust...

Rock on!

So you spoke to some of those people then? What'd they say when you told them about the pillow cases?

 

[DAVETHEMETALGUY]

i just pulled them up and said..'so, looks like im here now, thanks for saving it for me' yes, it a pet peeve. but it's not gonna change. maybe we should put towels and pillowcases in front of the barrier when we have to take a leak!

Not being confrontational I just mentioned that we like the fact that we can come and go as we please and not worry about seats. (Yes, I am a wimp).

I was being sarcastic.
