Ooof! That’s a true pit junkie! ✊ Lived in pits throughout the early-mid 90’s. Well, since you’re a masochist who gets migraines… 🤣: https://warpcast.com/dirtykumquats/0x493f82fe

It was my very first show! I couldn't admit defeat that easily! And no. Cannot look at that visual noise 🤣

Wow! You actually kept track of all of them. I did not. Mine’s a total blur between Lamours, Roseland, Irving Plaza, Limelight, Woodstock 94, 5-6 years of Lalapaloozas, arenas like MSG, Meadowlands, etc…

I see you still caught GWAR a bunch of times though! Lost track of how many I went to. My heart goes out to the venue clean up crew. 🥺 The funniest was if they played Manhattan we could tell who the other attendees on the train ride back to BK were. 🤣

Hahaha right. I'm sure GWAR had to pay a bigger venue fee than anyone else. The first time I saw them, I was totally unaware who they were. Bought my merch for other bands, and was holding it in the pit. RIP that merch

🤣 An act of true friendship where I’m from is bringing friends to GWAR shows without telling them to wear stuff you’re ready to throw out.

Especially when making sure to push through the crowd to be in the first few rows from the stage. None of your friends warned you? 🤣

No! They just shoved me right up to the barriers. Back in the day, I was a 110 lbs girl in a crowd of dudes. I almost always managed to make my way to the barriers/stage. I got soaked in rainbow dragon cum 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Forgot how many people we did that to. At least a dozen. Is GWAR still active?

I hate that I've come circle. It went from "Mom, can I go to a show with my friends?" to "Mom, can you babysit, so I can go to a show with my friends?"

Just bring the kids to go see GWAR. Your state’ll probably sign up to permanently babysit afterwards. Pretty sure they’ll insist on providing the service.

hahaha eventually. We did take the 5 year old (Now 6) to AJR over the summer, but it was a stadium show with seats. He was enthralled.

No GWAR pit? You’ll never get the state to babysit that way.

No, but he did sit in my lap and literally hold his eyes open with his fingers because it was 11 pm and he was trying so hard to stay awake through the encore.
