I'm not the girl your mom warned you about, her imagination was never this good.

Tip 1: Never stoop lower than your chest level

+ you might never get up! It is interesting how in rock concerts, when the music starts playing, there is no assurance that there will be reasonable behavior. Stepping, mosh pits, EVERYthing you think can happen might. Goodness i remember my first My Chemical Romance concert where an annoying man crowd surf onto my head. I was 14 years old. Imagine as a 14 year old teenager girl holding a grown man on her head. Thankfully a friend of mine pulled him to the ground and made him crash so hard for tugging my hair just to stay balanced on my head. Leading me to tip 2..

Tip 2: Dress appropriately

+ You think you spandex pants might reflect respect for your space? Take those to a clubbing place and you might get a dance or two. In a rock concert.. make sure you dress comfortably enough to protect yourself. Leave your heels at home. By that i mean Covered shoes, jeans and clothes u can elbow with. Not to get into a fight, but to defend urself in case you end up being the outline of a mosh pit! I remember being right in front enjoying Silverstein's concert and suddenly a sharp pain peirced my skin. People pushing at the back can actually cause the sharp stablizers on the fences to stickout!

Tip 3: Never let your guard down.

+ If you think keeping your guard in a club is tough, lets remember in a rock concert, everyone becomes engrossed in the music and all is ignored. This means elbows hitting your head as they wave in the air, HP dropping on the floor when people push u from the back, or i remember once in a Crossfaith concert, i got punched by a female because she was dancing. OUCH ! Also the Anberlin final concert i went for was so amazing i decided to try the mosh pit. I assumed 7 years of occasional concerts would be sufficient experience to survive a mosh pit. Well. The guys dont give a shit that i have boobs. They punch just the same. So just a precaution. Be prepared.

Overall, Heavy concerts are dangerous but thats the thrill of it. Go with trustable friends and make sure you watch out for one another. I guess all is still fun and worth it(: I never regretted experiencing these. In fact getting exposure to chaos from 14 made me realise how surviving clubbing is just childs play.
