when did this happen? all i know is last night, i got grabbed multiple times by some asshole security guard in the pit. what? is he scared a small girl is going to hurt the 200+lbs guys in there? seriously 930...when did you get so gh3y?
xox :mad:
-
Which doorstapher was it?
-
some douche with a bandana. i think he was having a powertrip or something. but seriously...when has a small girl become a threat in the pit? &also...he doesn't need to be grabbing that fucking hard. i have bruises on my sides&my best friend, who is also a girl, has bruises on her arm. i hope the next girl he grabs racks him as hard as she can.
xox
-
were you the girl with red hair? yea i think i saw the security dude or dudes in the pit. i've seen em before in the pit at some shows i've been to but they usually seem to let people mosh without interfering unless some jerk is really getting out of hand.
-
nah, i didn't have red hair, sorry man. but yeah, what the hell...i highly doubt that i was "out of control" or hurting anyone. i got hit in the head multiple times really hard, but i didn't see those guys get pulled out. whatever, it's lame as hell. i doubt i'll ever go to another show there again until they stop being retarded. that sucks though, it was my favorite place to go see shows.
xox
-
file a complaint, if enough people do, hopefully he'll get his ass fired or maybe even legal trouble... I remember when I was at the Hum show back in 1998, I picked up a setlist that was dangeling off the stage and some ass hole security gaurd almost pulled my arm out of my socket. first off, i don't know why i couldn't have it, secondly, if there was a legit reason why i couldn't have it, he could have just tapped me on the shoulder or something...
-
you know, small people are just as threatening to staph as big people are... whereas big people are likely to hurt others, small people are likely to get hurt, and staph is responsible for both not happening.
just food for thought.

Grabbing something off a stage that isnt yours...
Of course he should have handled it differently, but regardless, as innocent as you may think it sounds, it aint your property.

moshing is dumb. Why do people still do it?
-
Well usually when I went to moshing shows, they've always had someone outside the pit watching, I've never had any problems with them or seeing them get out of line. It's a pit, if you go in it, theres a chance your gonna get hurt. If they interfere, then chances are they might get run into also. Just let the kids mosh in peace. :)

i think young people still do it. which it seems none of use can relate to anymore! :)
moshing used to be ok, when people werent out to act all tough.
i cant do it anymore though
1. Radiohead has no mosh pits
2. Last time i moshed at a Dropkick Murphy's show in Boston, I hurt for 3 days!!!!
-
Were did moshing even start? Looks daft enough to be a Brit thing to me....probably during the punk era, a descendent of slam dancing would be my guess.
I'm sure learned soul will enlighten us....(GGW takes it from here)

the pogo was invented by the short punk in the back who couldn't see...
(i'm paraphrasing and don't know who said it first)

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/mosh (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/mosh)
"Moshing also known as slam dancing is a type of dance which involves jumping around/pushing other people/going crazy to loud "rock" or punk music. It is very popular amongst young rock and metal fans, especially heavy metal and nu metal fans. Most participants consider it lots of fun, but it can be dangerous to people in and around the "mosh pit", and has resulted in serious injuries and hospitalisation.
"The term "Mosh" has often incorrectly been attributed to Vinnie Stigma of the hardcore group Agnostic Front as an acronym for "March Of Skin Heads", when in fact it came from Darryl Jennifer, bass guitarist for the band Bad Brains, as a mispronunciation of the word "mash".
"Moshing means different things within different genres of music. The kind of mosh you will see at hardcore punk shows is very different to the kind of mosh at grunge shows.
"Originally, there were different types of "slam dancing." One type was the slam dance itself, which is now referred to as moshing. However, there was also the pogo , where dancers jumped up and down, as if on a pogo-stick, and bumped into each other. In Germany and Brazil , pogo is the common name for all moshing.
"Although a fundamentaly violent form of dance, the participants do not partake to cause injury. The dancing is physical expression of a pacified rage."

It's just hard to stand there still during a Slayer concert, it's aggressive music which makes you want to be aggressive. I obviously have no problem with it, I've been knocked down a few times and have knocked other people down waaaay more times, I've never got in fights with anyone and usually end up striking up converstaions and high fives in between songs. Some people dance at shows, some people stand, sit, jump up and down, crowd surf.......It's all good.
-
that's cool info on the origin of the term, thanks for that, dh00d.... I always wonderered whether there was a distinction between slam dancing and moshing, and apparently not. Also cool that it originated with DC's own Bad Brains. We be moshin', mon.

i saw Radiohead in London like 4 years ago and people were moshing..i thought it was very odd indeed..it was also very annoying
-
that's fine&dandy, but i didn't see the fucker grabbing guys smaller than me. besides, if you're in a pit, expect to get hurt. it's what happens when you go in.

I don't condone patrons being unnecessarily man-handled by security, but anyone else see the glaring irony in this statement?
-
So let me get this straight, you were just standing there by the pit not doing anything and this stapher decides to pick you out of all the people moshing around and manhandle you? For no reason? Doesn't sound right. Methinks there's more to this story because typically there's a reason when a stapher takes action.

Hint- The person who started the thread complaining that her and her friend got hurt in the pit went on to say "if you're in a pit, expect to get hurt. it's what happens when you go in." Get it now?

ok, firstly, this thread is wack.
secondly, as a doorstapher at the club, i feel like i should clear something up. i wasn't working that night, so i don't know what happened. but i will say this: doorstaph do NOT manhandle patrons, whether they be a huge angry meathead or a tiny moshing girl. we react and respond to the given situation with intelligence and practicality, always keeping in mind, first and foremost, the safety and comfort of the patrons. we are far from the typical aggressive bouncers encountered at some other clubs. we do not use violence or aggressive tactics to deal with a situation unless pushed to do so, which is infrequent.
all i can say is, there's probably more to this story than presented by the original teller.

22, that is still young, but as far as moshing goes, you're on the borderline. you'll soon find that everyone in the mosh pit is either a) 5 years younger than you or b) a complete loser.
then you'll stop :)
and yes Radiohead is awesome but if you ever try to mosh into me during Idioteque or something, you will WISH that you had that gentle 930 club stapher back in your arms :)

i'll tell you this much, i wasn't a threat. &i sure as hell didn't hurt anyone else, including the doorstapher. you know what, i could explain everything, but it's not like anyone on here really gives a rats ass. just saying though, watch some of your guys, some of the handling was really unnecessary&i wouldn't complain unless i felt there was a true need to. i don't bitch&moan every time someone touches me, punches me, grabs me, but he was doing it more than anyone i have ever encountered at a show. i'm not saying the guy hit me, he didn't, he just grabbed the shit out of me&bruised my torso. it's fine, i'll drop it, but you guys are still lame as hell for having assholes in the pit.

I think everyone wants to hear, or we wouldn't be asking or be concerned about the details and your well-being.
Moshing can cause bruises too, right?
Maybe he was trying to get you out of harms way in the pit and didn't realize his grip.
take iron.

Hearing (reading...whatever) about an incident like this at any other club in D.C. wouldn't surprise me at all....but the 9:30 Club? I don't believe it for a second.
I see several shows a month at the club, sometimes several in one week. I have never, EVER seen a staff member acting unprofessionally. I can't imagine having to control and protect several hundred people flailing around in a mosh pit. And that's only ONE potentially bad situation that a staff member has to deal with on any given night. Think of all the other obnoxious crap people constantly try to get away with....drug use, underage drinking, perverts, fights, skanky girls trying to get backstage....I could go on and on. It's a tough job, and I don't know of any other venue that does it better.
There's a reason that the club wins award after award. The 9:30 Club is a class act, pure and simple.

I don't want to "pile on", but I want to mirror snailhook in a response to this. To be clear, I wasn't there either, and I mostly just read this board, posting very rarely. However, when I read a thread like this, I think it affects me personally the way it would any other doorstaph member. We try so hard every night to ensure that everyone that walks through those doors; bands, crew, staph, *and* patrons, have a good time and walk away with a positive reflection of that club and the band and show they saw.
In my 33 years and what I "guess-timate" to be probably over 500 shows, including the full mix of those that I've worked in the last two years at the club, I've never understood "moshing". I like to get excited and jump up and down and "dance" at shows when they really excite me. However, no matter how excited I get, I don't like people hitting me, punching me, or overtly bumping into me when I'm watching a band that I paid money to see. I feel like... if you wanna do that with your buddies, go home, put on the album, and beat the shit out of each other, but please, let me watch my band.
*HOWEVER* THAT SAID, Many people seem to embrace this phenomenon of "Hey man, the music gets me and my buddy angry and we want to run into each other and bang our skulls together." I have grown to accept this phenomenon, (reluctantly) and in those said 2 years at 930, I've watched it unfold at many shows. It has several different forms, almost ALL of which are usually never interfered with by 930 doorstaph. However, there may be one or two of us standing nearby making sure that no one falls down, breaks an ankle, cuts themselves badly, passes out, or fights another person. ALL OF WHICH I HAVE SEEN from mosh pits at our club, which the starter of this thread has basically said she thinks is understandable if you choose to go to a show and "get in the mosh pit".
Some of the doorstaph that work at our club pour their hearts and souls into wearing many hats and working alot of behind the scenes hours apart from the 2 to 3 that a patron sees every night. Some people are like me and do it for the love of the 930 Club, music and bands that I might not either have the chance to, or would even think to see. Most of us are a mix of both, and as I understand Seth so eloquently put it, an ??Amalgamation of Misfits and Characters?.
Whatever we are, we all love to tell people about the cool shows we have and brag about the ??Nightclub of the Year?? award, but grabbing or roughing patrons is not in anyway any part of what we do or who we are. I see us more as "ushers" or "customer-service reps." ..we don't even use the "S" word to describe what we do. :)
Despite what you may think, getting bumped into in the mosh pit does not give you free reign to throw punches at another patron. From what everyone else??s account of the event tells me, that??s what you did. (again, I wasn??t there, but not I, nor most of this board, is buying your story and it's contradiction and irony) If one of our doorstaph sees someone doing that to another patron, they will step in between it and diffuse the situation. I??ve never seen any of our doorstaph grab a patron, especially someone??s neck, and I highly doubt ANY of our staph did that, especially the guy that you are accusing.
Sorry for the essay on this, but I don??t sweep up cigarette butts, clean up vomit, carry inebriated people out of the club, and deal with 40 crazed fans who??ll wait 2 hours after Weird Al Yanovic??s show to get him to sign their accordion?
...to read a post from someone flaming my friends and co-workers for an accusation that makes about as much sense as having someone kick you in the face for fun.
Oh wait? isn??t that that *other* phenomenon called ??Crowd surfing"?

I think moshing has as much to do with repressed sexuality as anything else... I lost interest in it pretty much around the same time I lost my virginity. If you're a teenage boy and you're not getting any, you do want to crack skulls with people, because you're nothing but a sheer ball of tangled frustration! I can't explain why girls do it though. Maybe they just like being surrounded by sweaty frustrated boys. Maybe "Choking Victim" (is that your name all the time, or just for this thread? ) can elaborate... :cool:

or maybe moshers are all repressed gays or bi's.

small penis theory:
generally, people seek work as bouncers (9:30 doorstaph) because of underlying feelings of inadequacy - it gives them a feeling of dominance.
perhaps they washed out of the police academy, or pro-wrestling school... perhaps their short-comings lie elsewhere(?)

filthypit, your focus on staffers' peni appears to confirm Rhett's theory.

i'm going to make this short&sweet because i have to get to work. i DID NOT throw any punches at anyone. i especially would NEVER throw any punches at anyone that worked at the club. first of all, i wouldn't want to get hit back, secondly, why would i pay for a perfectly good show&fuck it up by attacking someone that worked at the venue. i wouldn't. also, i never said that the stapher grabbed my neck, he grabbed my torso. specifically underneath my ribs. anyway, i didn't come on here to start anything, i just came to say my piece. &evidently, because the 930 is such a wonderful place, everyone's calling bullshit on me. i've never had a problem like this before at the club&i've been going for the past 8 or so years. it's not like i go out of my way to complain about every little thing. it's fine though, whatever, i'm a threat, blah blah blah, end of story. everyone can move on now.

So you wouldn't consider a staph memeber checking out one's girlfriend or staring at her until he's caught unprofessional? I find that HUGELY unprofessional especially when it's happened more than once at a concert. She wasn't moshing and wasn't taking pictures, I shoulda just walked up to the punk and asked him what rule she was breaking just standing there watching the show.

xox
I don't think they're calling bullshit on you, you have no reason to make stuff up about the club....I think they are simply saying they find it hard to believe that a stapher would act in such a way "intentionally". Maybe he thought you were getting roughed up a bit too much so tried to get you out, but in accidently grabbed you a bit too harshly, or was pushed himself as he was reaching out to you.
Nobody knows but you and the security person involved, so maybe next time you see him working the club mention it to him.
You did contradict yourself a little bit though with a couple of your comments, and we're all a bunch of sarcastic little tossers with no life so like to pick on every little thing we can. It's fun....join in!!

chokingvic - You mention this was a favorite place of yours to see shows. You seem upset and state that you've been physically harmed. I'm not sure if you are seeking a resolution - but why not call the club with your complaint? Rather than (imo), dump-and-dodge about something very serious and affects your concert-goings?
10+points if you know where the phone number is located.

Oh....come ON. I think your insecurity is the problem here. Women get "checked out" and stared at no matter where they go....walking down the street, at the grocery store, at the 9:30 Club. It's a fact of life, and yes, it's irritating. If you're THAT offended by a guy looking at your girlfriend, I suggest that you never go anywhere in public with her.
I'm a female, I get checked out, many times right under the nose of a certain employee at the club who, like you, doesn't appreciate that kind of attention paid to me.
Deal with it.

Man, let me tell you. I get females checking me out all the freaking time at the shows. It's really rough, but I'm a nice guy, so I put up with it.

shit, you think that's bad, try having groups of men going to see your girlfriend's band just so they can later go home and whack off to the fresh pictures of her in their head. Jeez, if I only had the time to think about that pathetic fact...

Ok bitch 1) Stay with the discusion, we were talking about professionalism at the time, not what happens at the grocery store or walking down the street. Thats all I was bringing up. So try keeping your Junior Member ass up with whats being talked about. I absolutely don't mind anyone staring at her and know it can happen at any time. I often have her go up to the person that is staring and say hi to them. Also, when we go out dancing and theres some poor sap standing by himself, I give her a shot of yeager and two seconds later she's over there dancing with him and you know what, I think thats great, everyone has a fun time because of it, they are dancing and when she gets back, we both have a good laugh about it and 2) There is no two so YOU deal with it.

Wow....your girlfriend is a really lucky girl. You "have her" go up and say hi to people that are staring at her, get her boozed up so she can dance with guys and then laugh at them....then you call women that you don't even know bitches.
You sound like a real catch. No...you're a nightmare.

Actually sweetie, doesnt matter if I'm a catch or not. I'm with someone. I do have her go up to people and talk/dance with them cause she asks me if I want her to do it and I get her boozed up cause she wants me to get her boozed up. And she would certainly applaude me for calling you a bitch had she saw what you wrote.
And its a matter of opinion on the nightmare comment, to her I'm a dream, but to you I absolutely can be your worst nightmare. ;)

I check out the trophy wives/girlfriends of the Ferrari/Maserati owners all day long, and they never seem to mind.
Besides, you obviously think your girlfriend is attractive so why wouldn't anybody else....checking out members of the opposite sex is just instinct, it's like trying to teach a dog to not sniff lampposts...and you girls are just as bad as the blokes for it.
If you do have a problem with it I'd have to say it's an insecurity issue within yourself.

Dude, did you not read what I wrote. It wasn't about the checking out, it was about the professionalism of people at work, thats it. I know people check her out, hell I check out people and even during work, but I never said I was professional. :)

first of all the whole mcdonalds thing is mine so lay off! 2nd, Rob g., why would you go and call some girl you don't even know, a b!tch? That is not nice. You have no class and it shows even with you hiding behind your keyboard. Put down the dilbert coffee mug for a sec, look in the mirror, and realize you are a loser. I hope your girl knows what a frat boy you are, with your "slammin shots", and whatever. Next time you want to respond to a girl's post, save the profanity for your trailer park family reunions. O.K. Go ahead and say what you will now, sit and fume, while you blast some creed. Just keep in mind that i'm not as peaceful as my name makes me out to be, Sweetie!

I've seen more skanky girls chasing the 930 guys around : A great looking bunch of people and fun to hang out with ...Furthermore, I've seen skanky guys trying to get backstage too so what's up with THAT, "Clover"? Isn't access to skanky girls one of the major perks of being a "rockster"? BTW: I'm at the 930 almost weekly, and NEVER even SEEN rude, aggressive treatment from "staphers" even when some people have deserved "man (or woman) handling". Go up to the AARP floor if the "pit" freaks you out! BTW: I'm loving being call a "Junior Member"

Wait! No ass grabbing?! So does that mean we've gone Polyphonic Spree hug a treeish? Anyone want punch?
Ass grabbing is ok if it's consensual and in my opinion if you're in the pit it's going to happen so try to deal with it or get out of the pit. I was in the pit that night and trust me lots of my body parts got grabbed that I didn't necessarily want grabbed, but it's a pit. Kinda happens when people are flailing around like apes on crack. Move on. No harm no foul. Now if the dude doesn't want to move on then he's going to be put in check.

Ok lets see how this all happened, I went for a few beers with Mankie, of course I had to buy them all cos he feels far to sensitive about his paunch to go to the bar himself. Then you know how one thing leads to another? Well just as we were both enjoying a post-coital cigarette, this thought comes into my head " If Guiny was not such a fucking loser, why would he need to say, I am not a loser on an internet chatboard? Morever why say "am not a loser" ? That just sounds far too close to tellytubbyish to me. Then with my lover in my arms I fell asleep. Fortunately Mankie is psychic so knew all of this without me having to verbalise any of it. I have since dumped him for a Greek bodybuilder.

I really don't want to get back into this, but the idea of crowd surfing and pits does NOT give anyone license to intentionally hurt other patrons, nor sexually assault them.
Too many patrons coming to shows get in the frame of mind. The reason my fellow employees have been sensitive on this thread is that our intent with respect to the pit is to protect patrons.
We certainly don't monitor the pit for shits and giggles.

You're right since I'm also a fellow employee who was monitoring the pit that night and am very admant about people keeping hands off. There is a difference between intentional and unintentional. I don't condone the intentional by any means and am known not to tolerate it.
In regards to the ass grabbing comment I was being sarcastic.

Well I am a part time mosher and I'm sorry, I have never heard of ass grabbing in a mosh pit. But then again I go in the real one's (slayer, Dope, Ministry) where you dont have time thinking about ass grabbing cause if you do, the next second your on the floor. Now maybe some of these HFS music weak mosh pits are different where you have time to do that stuff. Anyways, It's almost time for me to retire from that stuff, I'll have to figure out other ways to unleash my anger towards the world. ;)

As of right now, Christmas. Depending on work of course. Hey the last time I went there I went to a place in Scarborough that had in indoor go cart track. I had never even heard of it before. I thought it being so close to your neck of the woods, maybe you knew where I was talking about or how long its been there. It was pretty cool, fastest one's I'd ever ridden. I beat my father and brother but can't tell you how many times I got passed.

Ok lets see how this all happened, I went for a few beers with Mankie, of course I had to buy them all cos he feels far to sensitive about his paunch to go to the bar himself. Then you know how one thing leads to another? Well just as we were both enjoying a post-coital cigarette, this thought comes into my head " If Guiny was not such a fucking loser, why would he need to say, I am not a loser on an internet chatboard? Morever why say "am not a loser" ? That just sounds far too close to tellytubbyish to me. Then with my lover in my arms I fell asleep. Fortunately Mankie is psychic so knew all of this without me having to verbalise any of it. I have since dumped him for a Greek bodybuilder. [/b]
I want you to know that I??m happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is he perverted like me
Would he go down on you in a theater
Does he speak eloquently
And would he have your baby (batter)
I??m sure he??d make a really excellent lover

Huh, news to me...sounds cool though. Was it near the Mall? I seem to remember there is some sort of an entertainment complex in that area that would make sense to include a go cart track.
What you didnt make it to Funtown???

Funtown in the winter? The water slides there and Oquabogun would be pretty cool huh? Actually I liked Old Orchard beach when it came to rides way back in the day. As for the go cart place, I seem to remember signs that we were in some kind of Industrial park area, I think I also remember passing the old roller rink, or maybe its still running, really didnt notice.

Here it is: http://www.maineindoorkarting.com (http://www.maineindoorkarting.com)
Who ever owns this is going to make a FORTUNE if they do it right; and it appears they are. Brillant. The market in Maine for this kind of entertainment is huge, especially in the winter.
I think NASCAR rivals the Patriots in terms of fan interest up there. Go Ricky Craven..

from beatings, to mcgridles, to b!tch, to ass grabbin, to Maine, to go-carts, where's vansmack with a recipe?

Yup, thats it. I went in December and there was at least a ten heat wait limit. You have to wear the helmet and if your not tall enough you have to wear a race suit. I just wore a heavy sweat shirt. You should definetely check it out next time your up there. They blow the funtown race track off the map!!!!!!!!!

Ok, whats the music they play. It sounds like Pink Floyd. Maybe its nothing and is just made up. But as a kid, that weak ass roller coaster was pretty scary!!!!!!!

No, its a real song from the 70's. You can still hear it occasionally on your favorite local Clear Channel classic rock station. There is a link to a sad muzak version on that website. But they play the original inside the ride.
I'll see if anyone else recognizes it (if anyone else is still following our conversation that is) before I give it away.

That's most definately an ELO song, though I can't remember the name.

Ding Ding Ding! Correct. "Fire on High" is the title.
As children growing up in southern Maine, Rob Gee and I were lucky enough to have this ride around whenever we wanted. Its basically a scrambler indoors. Very dark, with scary pictures of monsters and such on the walls, and that song blaring to 11. (Hey for a 12 yr old its damn cool)
Many kids growing up in Maine -including yours truly - genuinely thought the ONLY reason the local rock station played the song was due to the rides popularity.
-
is maine really that ass-backwards?
i guess i'm lucky i grew up in connecticut :p
-
As a 12 yr old SH, I didnt know shit about music...hell the first concert I saw was the Village People.
-
i have to say, i really didn't expect this thread to become like this. what it's turned into, turned back into&warped itself into is truly entertaining. :D

We really don't do that in So Cal. It's all the imports who watched too much So Cal on TV that do that. Dude.
I was purposely avoiding this thread because I thought for sure it was another "newbie got roughed up because they were doing something stupid" post and those tend to just be pissing contests. Damn this got funny! Sorry I missed it!
Anyhow, I've been spending my afternoon in a daze about Jennifer Garner breaking up with Michael Vartan for Ben Affleck. These things need to stop. He is sooo not worthy.

She's just on a constant climb up the hollywood food chain, isn't she.... Of course there's no knowing for real, but Scott Foley was the keeper in that posse.

Acutally, your way off on that one. I go in the pit but I think a few board members would tell you that I'm not an asshole. [/b]
Rob, I consider you a friend because you've hooked me up in the past. I don't think you're an asshole. However, I will say that from all of the shows that I've been too, there is a predominance of moshers that are. In most cases you get people in there who are just out to fuck with people and knock them on their ass to make themselves feel big. I meant to make the generalization, but not to have you feel like I called you an asshole.

Hitman whats up? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Doe's that mean you've been doing less shows? The comment I made wasn't meant towards me thinking you thought I was an A-Hole. I know you were making a general statement, I just wanted people to know that I often go in pits but I'm not such a bad guy. Although earlier in this thread most newbies mighta thought otherwise.

Not much been going on. I haven't been to the club in a while. Probably the last show I went to, you probably got me the tix for. I've been to 2 Sessions shows. I'm thinking of hitting the Robert Randolph show, but will have to check, so I'll let you know. School year starts next week, so I'll be back to work. Hope all is well with you.
