I will post what I posted at the Maiden Forum about last night's show:
Holy shit, all I gotta say is I made it! Kittybeast and I were at the rails the whole show, we always stood our ground, even though the body pressure was extreme and it was hard to breathe at times. As girls it was really nice to know we had backup the whole show... had TP to my right and Peter watched our backs and did a heck of a job! Thanks guys for taking care of us, that was brutal! I may 5'7 and only weight 115 pounds, but I ain't no shrimp!
Otherwise show was amazing, there is nothing more uplifting than to be singing along with Davey and Steve, we made eye contact several times and we got Steve's sweat on us a bunch of times (no, it's not gross! ). There were sound problems, but I was in Maiden Heaven. So glad of the upcoming shows!
At first I was a bit miffed about not being able to have a camera at the show, but after surviving the pit, there was no way in hell I could have taken pictures. They filmed a ton, took tons of pics.... I hope Kittybeast and I see ourselves amongst the madness!
As always to all the fans and long-time friends that we see from show to show, thank you for being so cool and see you next time! MAJOR thanks to Vic for FTTB, man you are the best! Have a great rest of your vacation and be safe in Iraq! Thank you to TP and his nephew Jason for letting Kittybeast have FTTB, it was amazing being at the rails again together! You guys almost made me cry
I love you all!
By the way, FTTB is "First to the barrier"
Kristy and I did not find out that we would have such an opportunity until the very day of the show.
Man, even seasoned "big guys" were getting pulled out of the pit, many on the Maiden Forum were saying that this was the worst pit they had ever been in... the pressure was absolutely brutal, body surfers, people trying to rush the front, mosh pits in the back creating havoc in the front, one fan said the barrier started moving and he was afraid for his life, he got kicked in the head about 15 times
