thats what I was original going to say but since there playing at The Venue this year you would need a canon to launch you from both sides for this to even be possible. or jump from the speaker stacks like Beau did last year during Avail
but my guess is that if you even attempted to get on top of those speakers security would knock your ass down

ok.
so let's say a REALLY awesome melodic hardcore band plays a show and we're all there. It might not even be at a venue. It could be somewhere dangerous, like a parking lot.

if something like that WERE to happen, we'll try for the picture then.

just keep your ear to the ground.

i'd say the 1982 on Sunday around 8:25 or so

I think that band should be moved to The Venue main stage since Dead To Me dropped

I would totally be up for attempting an across the crowd mid-air high five at The Venue, preferrably during PIB or Municpal Waste. We'd have to time it perfect, not just with our acrobatics, but with the planning, doing a coordiinated rush to bounce off the speaker stacks at the same time, before security knows what is happening.

I think we could pull it off at NMDS.

I'll be there filming, make magic happen

it's instant Fest King 08 status

Mike, I decided we'll do it during "Tightrope".
How does that sound?

haha, I was at the Maryland Renaissance Festival a few weeks ago, wearing an Avail shirt, and while I was in line the woman in the line next to me turns to me and says "Oh haha, Beau is my nephew!" I thought that was pretty random and awesome, and we talked for a bit before heading in for Meade and olden time merriment. Awesome lady

Definitely down for spectating the high-five dive though

earlier in this thread I mentioned a pic taken at a Verse show in Atlanta last summer, and I totally had a brainfart and forgot that I know one of the kids in the pic, and he posted on the board today.



White shirt is Matt Shaw. I think the yellow shirt might be Rob, I can't remember exactly.

Ceiling is WAY too low.

That's awesome except for the fact the audience looks bored and the band isn't playing. Too posed looking.

I think the band is playing, but yeah, the audience does look suspiciously still.

I was actually outside while the pic was taken, there to see a different band.

i'm totally down. I'm going off at their last show on Saturday, i don't care if i just killed myself dancing to D4 at the Venue right before that.

only stagedived once at Fest (paint it black) last year since I'm not too acrobatic but I'm all for being in the crowd seeing this and letting you fuckers break your fall on my face... or maybe we'll just let you fall on yours!

oh and i think Gully is right. "Tightrope" is a good as a song as any.

I will be leaping before looking a maximum number of times during Paint It Black, Municipal Waste, Bouncing Souls, Ann Beretta, Less Than Jake, The Ergs!, No Trigger, Polar Bear Club, and Hour Of The Wolf.

actually, not sure if the last three will have enough people, but I hope so. I would also stage dive to a few bands at 1982, but you know, low ceiling.
