220/365 self portrait Saturday

rocks it out tonight

at Virgin Fest (headliner: Pearl Jam)

We bought Shelby tickets for her birthday and due to vacations... she was not able to find a friend so she asked me or Scott to go with her. I ended up being the chosen one and even though this is not my "thing" anymore (or ever) we had a great time, made interesting memories and got out of there alive!

Shelby and I surviving the mosh pit

Shelby found herself a whole bunch of interesting friends, this guy (well at least his hand) thought he was freakin hilarious:Shelby and a few of her motto's:

I have a video but have been working for 2 days to figure how to upload it and it just is not working for me. Since I am so behind on project 365 I am moving on but will try to upload later as it gives an idea of the atmosphere which I can only describe as crazy.

I am WAY too old for this type of fun and I kept saying to Shelby, can't we go sit up on the hill, it looks much safer. She told me...but only old people are up there...BUT I AM OLD I explained but once the Pearl Jam concert began it was actually safer to stay where we were (right in the middle) versus trying to work our way out while there was body surfing and moshing going on. 

I ended up with two body surfers falling on me, many shoes hitting me in the head and then the topper, Pearl Jam's drummer throws his stick in the crowd, it hits me in the head and while I am checking my head for blood, two guys crash into me and get into a full fledged fist fight over the drumstick...that was our sign to get the heck out of dodge.
