There's a massive difference between myself being a jerk to people who act like douchebags and you being contrarian just for the hell of it.
 
 
 this is exactly what i am referring to; what i like.  the people on here that decide to jerk out on occasion always seem to have a great deal of reason behind doing so.  it's never, like, "i've-got-a-bunch-of-sand-up-my-vagina-today-so-i-think-i'll-bash-you."
 
 
 and it would be really sweet if we had honorary parades...

I just use soapy water and one of those scrubby kitchen sponges.  Takes about 10 seconds.

these are really important for when you wake up the morning after, and have like five stamps re-printed all over your face, neck, and arms.
haha - been there.  I've also awoke to stamp marks on my wall and headboard.

I've met badsushi, and I can attest to her not being a "douchebag". She was actually quite nice in person.
 
    I think it's a lot worse to insult people you're actually acquainted with than it is to insult complete strangers, but we've had that debate before.

I don't think chasing away BadSushi so much makes me "the board jerk" as it does "the board member most deserving of a parade in their honor".

Oh wow. I can relate to a few.
 Also, anyone travel for work and manage to manuever your travel conveniently for shows? (and visit record stores?)
 -When I say "club" or "show" people assume 9:30.
 -The stamp thing has been a non-issue...except I almost bleed when trying to scrub remove. (Use eye / make-up remover.)
 -Missed a family function for a show. After awhile it's understood.
 -Yes, I must confess to increasing need for show-going comfortability. Already mocking plans for how I'll manage cameras, etc. for upcoming festivals.   :p

 I have my work's schedule and Pollstar bookmarked next to each other on my screen so I can flash back and forth when I see something I like.  I have to explain to my wife that this is "very, very important."
 I used to bring an extra shirt in the car so when some punk kid (like myself, I guess) spilled beer all over me while flying through the crowd, I'd have a backup to wear at some after-show location, so I wouldnt smell like piss.  Nowadays I just bitch and moan at the whippersnappers.
 I don't have a "concert purse".
If its that at 33 imagine what it is like at 50!

A Reston, Virginia, woman is attempting to break a Guinness World Record by listening to jam bands, steel drums and country music, as she tries to see the most live concerts in a single week.

21 shows in 7 days is the world record? I would imagine some of y'all have done that and more

Current record holder: tie between everyone whose ever seen Phish, a Grateful Dead offshoot, or Ween.

Never let it be said I doubt the abilities of drugs and alcohol but I cannot honestly believe they'd make it any better.
