Shouldn't there be wrist bands for drinkers?

Even if there were they'd definetly need people to walk around, underage drinking is hella easy to get away with.
-
what are you talking about, that kid has like 50 wrist bands!
-
I'm amused that this has its own thread.
-
he's so metal.
-
who, the guy with the cargo shorts?
-
so instead of reporting the underage kid, you chose to take a picture instead?
-
this Marty fellow is thorougly amusing me, truly.
(I am so bored at work, God help me.)
-
Well the 15 year old staff members there probably thought they looked old. They could use some better training though. Last time I went nobody checked/took my ticket at the door. Another time my friend accidentally handed them an old ticket from another show at a different venue and they let her in.
-
that kid looks young but i dont think its beyond the realm of possibility that he could be 21...
-
I find it amusing that a guy with "666" in his name is concerned about kids drinking and sneaking into the GA pit at a concert.
I guess being a disciple of Lucifer ain't what it used to be.....
-
If that kid is 21 and still dressing like that, I have grave fears for the future of our nation.

In an amusing coincidence, a friend of mine knows the kid and has confirmed him as being High School aged.
-
What I find amusing is that you've been registered on this forum for eight years, and five of your 39 posts have come in the last 24 hours.

this confirms that narc'ing is the devils work.
-
I was carded each time I bought a beer, and ummm I'm a lot closer to 41 than 21. I guess you can buy beer and pass it off, but at least these kids aren't cracked out, and their parents are probably driving them so let's give them some slack, I mean look how this guy has to go through life looking like THAT.
I'm glad you're all about the PSA's today, but do you want to comment on how Slayer, well....SLAYED?
-
he could be a junior at william and mary or something

He looks more like junior college material to me.

its nice to look young, eh? the other day i almost couldnt get into a bar on the LES because they didnt believe it was my real ID (i still have va license) so i had to have another form of ID to prove it was me to get in. a major pain in the arse. who'd make up that they were in their 30s if they were 20 something.
id imagine - merriweather in no way wants to take time doing that. it took way too long, and im sure more people than not who are under-age are prob not drinking.
-
you gotta love the random 13 year old girls walking around bumming cigarettes too. "can i like, bum a smoke???" thanks for talking into my mics while im recording ya dumski.
slayer and manson recordings came out like crap anyways, my levels were too high, thus too much distortion, especially during the really bassy parts.
-
I don't think it's the case of looking young, it's a case of them being overly cautious. ;) I was carded multiple times when I was 39, and I LOOKED much closer to 41 than 21.

maybe there should be wristbands for wristband wearers.

Underage drinking is no joking matter. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
-
you must provide id to purchase alcohol at mpp. there are limits to how many drinks you can buy at one time that change from show to show, and sometimes during a show. there are teams patrolling the grounds that spot check id on people that look young and have alcohol. there are also undercover agents that patrol the site and issue citations to underage drinkers.
considering the size of the property, the number of people on site at a show, and all other logistical matters, i would love to hear some suggestions as to how the policies could be better enforced. everyone hates beer gardens, right?
-
I'm just pissed that its so easy to get beer as an underage kid these days. Do they go uncarded? Do they ask someone to get it for them? Where is security?
Back in the good old days when I wanted to drink but was too young, we had to actually sneak it in. I had to practically shove an entire bottle of Jack Daniels up my ass and secure it with duct tape. Then, later, with my pants around my ankles, painfully pull the thing off of my body in a mens room stall while enduring the pain of hair loss as I removed the tape. But damn, the reward afterwards was priceless.
It may be out of jealously, or it may just be the responsible/caring adult that I am, but it pisses me off to see some 18 year old kid celebrating with a beer at Merriweather.
And also, I'm not a fashion guy, but who wears cargo pants and a baseball hat to something as "evil" as a Slayer/Manson show?

I was never IDed the few times I bought beer (nor were my friends) at the Wilco show this summer ... older crowd I guess
-
Did you report this to staff at the event?

Man, I never needed to drink bad enough to practically shove a bottle of Jack Daniels up my ass and secure it with duct tape. And if I did, I probably would not be drinking from that bottle once I took it out.

If you are referring to my post, than yes, your sarcasm radar is in need of adjustment.

well the most logical solution would be to legalise canibus and lower the drinking age for beer to 18 or 16 w/parent or guardian.

Oh god NO! NO Beer Gardens, please banish that thought from your head, pretty please.?
The current policy is fine, you haven't had any minors with alcohol related deaths or even maimings associated with going to a show at Merriweather so the currently policy functions well enough.
Just because some old fart woke up this morning with his panties in a bunch we don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Excellent suggestion, except then you would complain about the 14 yr olds drinking. ANd besides, it has about as much chance at reality in this country as us all doing shots from a bottle of Jack Daniels that PigIron just pulled out of his ass.

i make a serious response to a complaint, and this is the response. discussion over.
-
The only serious answer is to cut Merriweather's max attendance from 16000 to 8000 and hire 8000 staph'ers for each concert, so each and every attendee can have a personal staph member to follow them around and make sure they don't do drugs, drink underage, sneak into the pit, or use too much toilet paper in the bathroom. AND IF YOU GUYS DON'T DO THIS, YOU'RE IRRESPONSIBLE!!

If it weren't for underage drinking, Julian would never get laid.

If that were the case, I would go to every show at Merriweather. While it would be a bummer to have some asshole as your Merriweather Buddy, it would be great if you got somebody who was a lot of fun, or maybe a really hot chick. Either way. it would be a roll of the dice every time, which would increase the fun of the concert experience.

Other sheds do the wristband thing. That seems to work ok. It's a small inconvenience when you arrive, but if you have enough wristband stations, it's not bad. You could still spot-check people that look too young to be wearing wristbands, but it would be very easy to spot people drinking without them.

well i hope you arn't mad. I appreciate your serious response and just meant to suggest something society needs to do on this issue.
other then wristbands, theres not much else you can do.
I might also suggest if you wish to elevate the level of discussion here to a more mature and serious nature, you should change the link on the 930 club page to this forum that says "..make trouble". since i always am clinking that link just prior to entering the forum, it's always in the back of my mind.
...make trouble...make trouble...make trouble...MAKE TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if it wasnt for that link, i never would of started this thread in the first place.

On another note about the show, what is the deal with 15 year old girls running around wearing nothing (visisble) but a skirt short enough to pass off as a handerchief and their bra? Is that "like the kewl fasion statement of the dayz" or something? It was pretty funny watching the one chick so fucked up on whatever the hell it was that she walked smack into the cinder block wall heading towards the bathroom. Best part is that it didnt phase her a bit, but damn that left a mark!

haha, agreed.
i kinda wish he'd taken it a step further and created an alias of the kid in the picture, signing up to berate him for narc'ing..
-
yeah this is pretty much hilarious. the only amusement in my bleak day today.
-
hey that kid was two rows in front of me in the pavilion :p
