Yikes, Tommy! I mean, that's great.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We were crammed into a Strokes show in London when a guy right behind us yelled, "MIND YOUR BACKS!" Which is apparently British for "I'm sorry, if you don't move quickly, I'm going to barf all over you."
Unless you go to a venue with fixed seating or go to a show featuring a less popular artist, that's the way it is here, too
I go to see as many shows as I financially can (2-3 per month), but it was the first show that I felt cornered by the crowd (Something isn't right with the structure of this sentence, and I can't figure it out. Oh work, I lothe thee).
That's why I don't go to concerts, although I really wanted to see the Honda Civic Tour here in Rochester.
I'm going to Honda Civic on Friday!
If there's fixed seating, I think you'd be safe going to concerts, provided you stay in your seat after the show for a little while or leave early to avoid the crush of humanity exiting the theater.
My General Admission experiences are more positive than negative, of course, or else I wouldn't keep buying the tickets.
it was the first show that I felt cornered by the crowd
Yeah, sometimes you just get a crowd that doesn't work with or respect your personal boundaries. I'd rather deal with a circle pit developing next to me than people who won't stop feeling me up.
Aw -- George Takei is getting married, too! [link]

Go, Captain Sulu!
Go, Captain Sulu!
There might be a "...where no man has gone before" joke in there....
BTW, has Trek ever had a gay character? I vaguely remember gay rights activists complaining about the lack of gay characters when ST:TNG was on.
Google thinks I'm a spammer. I'm not amused.

OK, this made me a bit teary! They've been together for 21 years! It must mean so much to them, and to other non-celebrity couples that just thinking about it makes me so happy for them!
ETA Also I can't escape the Ashlee Simpsom/Pete Wentz wedding news-- it was the next story on the George Takei link. I have heard there is kerfuffling about the marriage on the internets with the fans, and I am trying to avoid it like a big avoidy thing.
