The Anthem

[Space Freely]

A drunk dude once smashed his bottle over my forehead at a 9:30 Cracker/Camper show, requiring multiple stitches after five or six hours of being ignored at Howard Hospital.

Count me in favor of plastic cups.

I think that says more about you than about the presence of beer bottles at a show.  Didn't you once get in a fight with a mime in Paris?

He was harassing my wife. I was defending her. And it was in Siena. Keep your details straight or you lose credibility.

I have been to 100s of shows at 930. Never a bottle incident...could it happen? Yes...

Sorry for that experience space..horrible

[StoneTheCrow]

That sucks, Space.

I prefer bottled beer but am happy with a cup for safety factors. A dropped bottle from the 3rd floor might do a lot of damage.

[Yada]

Like I said... they should have dozens of babes around giant iced tubs of terrible canned beer. Sell the for $5 a can, cash only.

I do recall waiting outside for an ambulance and among others ThatGuy offered comforting words. The only meaningful interaction I ever had with him, he just seemed to know what to say.

Is it true that the wound healed itself once subjected to ThatGuy's warm gaze?

James Ford would have made a snarky reply to this but Space will keep it snark free.

So you want LONGER beer lines? not passing judgment on selling bottles...just saying think of the tradeoffs..

You're kidding, right? It takes 5 seconds to pour a bottled beer into a plastic cup.

Sorry you went through that. That's a pretty bizarre incident. Just curious, what show was it?

[Thousand Made-Up Loves]

100% in disagreement here.  Plastic cups lead to spills.  Bottles have been used at 9:30 for forever without issue.  I loved that I could get bottled beer last night.  The number of bottles left after the show was pretty small considering the size of the crowd.  People are generally pretty thoughtful with this.

You know what? Risking beer spillage is a fact of life at shows, but it's really not that difficult to prevent beer spillage.

can we make a thread of all the things that have happened to James Ford at the club

Before you do, the Bob Mould story was just a joke. But the Cracker bottle story and the story about the guy biting my ass at the DBT show are both true.

...the guy biting my ass at the DBT show...

Did you have to pay extra for that?

We need a TAN thread for all of the shows that James Ford has claimed to have attended at Black Cat.

Listen to the fun police trying to ban bottles.

I once saw a trashcan full of empty cups bottles etc thrown over the balcony onto a packed  floor at the club.  Point being, if people gonna get crazy they gonna get crazy.

You sound like a gun rights advocate, Mr. North Carolina.
