      Smart phones are awesome. It's great having all the information in the world in your finger tips. However, they are destroying situations like this where you should be living in the moment. If you want you watch a show through your phone you may as well stay home. I get taking a thirty second video for a memory or something, but people take it way too far.

      Primus fans are about 50% assoles. Their pits are full of idiots who don't even get the culture they're trying to be a part of.
      DON'T FALL DOWN in a Primus pit. I watched a fight break out in the pit right in front of the stage, the band played on like nothing was happening (it's their perogative, but it ain't classy) and security stood there and watched.

    I finally found myself in the crowd at Woodstock 94. I was in a lot of pits there and was mad that Primus was on the South stage AND overlapping NIN on the North stage. Thank God Nine Inch Nails was delayed and I had to jump fences getting chased the entire way through the back stage area to make the North stage in time. The only other way was back up the mud hill and a slow muddy walk that was over an hour. I went to see Primus, Blind Melon and Nine Inch Nails primarily and I would not be denied.
