She was twitching and blinking and weaving and I thought she was either going to puke or fall over. And she was still guzzling a beer! When we made eye contact with the other people around us and gave them the silent "what the fuck?" look, we all started laughing. Thankfully the girl left before the show started. As for the Philadelphia screamer, I have seen such things before. In my case it was at a White Stripes show and the female in question was yelling, "MEG WHITE I WANT TO FUCK YOU!" It was horrifying. The last bit about "practicing sex" makes me think of that episode of Freaks and Geeks when Millie says that Kim "fornicates it." HAHA! Thanks for sharing! LLM Katy:

This is when some red-headed chick decided to squeeze in the two atoms, as you put it, between us and the row in front of us to talk to her friend several people to my right. In doing so, she put her crotch RIGHT IN FRONT of my brother's face. Like, it was RIGHT THERE. He didn't seem to know what to do. I laughed in her face, though. Thankfully, she moved away before the show started. Except then, ya' know, everyone else in the place decided to squeeze in by that point, and I had "that guy" screaming the lyrics and pumping his fists behind me. And then a fight broke out during "Michael." - My friends and I were seeing OK Go in Baltimore, when this INCREDIBLY drunk girl (seriously, I don't know how she was standing) and her equally drunk boyfriend, decided to shove their way to the front, whereupon they began booty dancing hardcore. During the show, she began yelling, "F*CK PHILADELPHIA WELCOME TO TOWSON!" at every opportunity, which only made the band look at her like she was nuts and try to ignore her. The best part, though, were the two twelve-year-olds and their mom standing next to me, because the mom clearly didn't know what to do, and the one girl kept texting her friend saying, "They're like practicing sex!" Which is HILARIOUS because only a twelve-year-old would say that. Recent offenders:

Somewhat related to #1 is the annoying person who won't quit yelling for the big hit. For example, I was at a Steve Earle show once and not 10 minutes into the show, some nimrod started yelling "Copperhead Road!" and kept doing so after every song. Finally Earle said, "Jesus Christ man - do you REALLY think I'm NOT going to play that song? Chill the fuck out!" We nearly peed ourselves laughing. Hahaha… cool piece, Adam!

However in both cases (unless A really REALLY sucks and can't even tear my focus away), I will just glance at the setlist and go back to watchin' the band.
