I don't remember when it happened, I thought this was right after Kristeen Young, but some asshole was trying to get to the very front of the pit. He was saying that he "knew" some of the people right in the front of the pit. The people had no idea who he was, so people were trying to push him back. Somehow he got back towards the front. He ended up next to me for most of the gig ):
Ah hah, that's what was going on. The commotion was really disruptive during the show (and I'm sure throughout).
Sorry I missed seeing you prue! I was to your left in front of Boz.
Don't forget: "Jingle smells, jingle smells, vomit all the way" hilarious!

Loved it! May add it to my Christmas cards.
I slammed onto the edge of the stage during Still Ill. I got Morrissey's attention and he walked towards me and held my hand. Best night of my life.
I think I saw that happen. Did you land hard against the stage on your upper back? Glad your efforts paid off anyway!
Skinner went for it, she was over before I knew it and missed the stage, landing in the pit. It took two security guards what seemed like 2 minutes to pry her hands off the stage. Back and forth tug-o-war. Her efforts unfortunately didn't get her a handshake, only a strangulation by security. She's a fighter, that one. *so proud*
Um, is it necessary for Theater security to be wearing guns? Damn. The stage rushing during the encore was great, other than a guy behind me trying to use me as a human springboard. Security was a bit brutal but you know we're winning when the lighting guys have to help out. Ha! Congrats to those who reached Morrissey. I hope you all have your original teeth.
Outside the venue before the show, security told me Morrissey was in a 'mood'. Something about not liking the curtains in the green room. Also, the catering company f***ed up and must have brought a tray containing meat into the dressing room. Someone lost their job last night. I was worried he'd be in a bad mood, but he was upbeat and chatty, unfortunately not with the audience. I would have liked to see some crowd/mic time interaction.
Great set list. My fave moments were There is a Light, Majadjusted, Speedway, Ouija Board and Still Ill. He sounded and looked great, the band was tight. Love Matt Walker on the drums. I flashed my 'You Are Too Frinky' sign a few times. I know he saw it the one time. That's good enough for me.
I took some pics but they didn't come out great. Will post the few I think are worthy. Great night overall ~ can't think of anyone else I'd rather hang outside with in the cold for 8 hours other than my Moz Posse. Luv ya - you're all mad.
