Music, Meows, and Munchies

Hi and welcome to my third installment in my mini-series of information about going to music concerts. I wanted to make these posts aimed towards new concert-goers or for people who are looking to improve their own concert experience. You can check out my first two posts  here  and  here  to learn about getting the best spots on the floor and best tickets, and also to learn more about mosh pits and how to be safe around them. This post I wanted to sum up a lot of little things that go on at concerts and are some things you might not realize happen if you have never been to a concert before. Merch  (i.e. merchandise)  etiquette : Try to find where the line roughly is. Try not to cut, but it does happen. Know what you want before you get up there and have your money ready. (It helps to bring different size dollar bills so that you can do exact money and not have to have change counted back to you.) Merch guys are typically pretty crabby in my experience. It makes me sad that the

Hi and welcome to my second post detailing my concert experiences. Check out the first part of this mini-series  here  if you want to learn about venue sizes and how to get the best tickets and spots in line and on the floor. This second post in the series is all about mosh pits. Mosh pits can be scary to people who have never gone to a concert before, and some people don't know what a mosh pit is or what it entails. When I was getting ready to go to my first concerts, I did not understand what I mosh pit was either and did my best to find out how to avoid them before I went. If you are like me and are confused about how to handle being in or around a pit, I hope this post helps you out and be sure to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns in the comments below! And of course, let me know if I posted something that isn't correct. Mosh pits: I (at this point in time) try to avoid being near the mosh pits, but that is because I am pretty wild as is at con

Hi there! Welcome to my blog if this is your first time here. I wanted to start this new series of blog posts because I like to be prepared, and I think that other people do too. Some of my information may be wrong, but don't be afraid to comment and let me know if I am wrong or something needs to be added or corrected. This is geared towards new concert-goers who want to get into the music scene more, and for people who have gone to many concerts, and are looking to improve their experience. If you have stumbled upon this post nearing summertime, here are some links to my Warped Tour posts:  Ultimate List: What to Bring to Warped Tour , and  What I learned at Warped Tour . Summer is full of hot days, warm nights, no school, and plenty of music festivals. But as the temperatures outside drop, bands move indoors into more intimate spaces. Indoor concerts have their own set of rules to follow and offer tons of more memories to take with you. Let's start this post with the bas

I went back to school this fall after a summer break and haven't had much time to breathe in between everything else going on. I wanted to start a new series of blog posts titled, "The Comprehensive Guide to Concert-Going." In this new series, I will post several blog posts detailing a lot of things new concert-goers, or even veterans, might not know or just add on to additional information that you do already know. I like to be extremely prepared for anything in life, and a lot of the time that can't happen. I hope the information I will soon relay will help you improve your concert experience to make the experience more enjoyable for yourself and the people around you. Happy concert-going, Jaimey
