2 hours ago it was Friday the 13th. I didn't realized the entire day. :huh:

Almost 20 years ago i never started my very first PC in every Friday the 13th because of the famous virus. True story.
How i miss my super 486.
 
All alone at work on a Saturday-- soaking up the overtime!! So, this is kind of fun for me, I got to write a batch script (which is know is nothing for many people) that installed a new teller program on all the teller pcs at 11 different remote locations. Pretty fun!

So, I get to listen to Maiden and wait for the program to finish!
 
So I'm at an outdoor festival gig last night on a series of soccer pitches — it's flat, no seats, no stands.
Weather's hot and sunny, about 12,000 people having fun, relatively mellow by rock show standards.
My wife and I are standing maybe six rows back from the stage waiting for the headliner. Crowd is pretty tight, but nobody's moving yet.
I'm shoulder-to-shoulder with a big dude — maybe 6'6", athletic, not with anyone.
He's drunk, but not overly obnoxious. We talk a bit, not much and I kinda forget about him.
A while later I notice he's gone down on one knee.
Me and the guy on the other side look at him, then at each other, our jaws drop — he's quietly taking a piss.
I nudge my wife, and others start to notice.
Girl in front of him — literally less than a foot away — turns, shrieks "ohmigod!" and pushes forward.
Her boyfriend looks like he's ready to pop the guy one, checks out how big he is, then decides to join his girl.
Crowd opens a small hole around him. he finishes, zips, then calmly stands up like nothing happened.
On with the show.
Maybe I lead a sheltered life, but I've never seen anything like it.
 
I've seen stuff like that fair amount >.> Although usually people do it in a cup/bottle then throw it elsewhere in the crowd.... few years ago at a festival someone smacked a mate in the face with a full cup of piss and then when confronted about it seemed to think it was perfectly justified.

I've also seen someone throw up down his girlfriends back right at the front railing... people didn't quite have the space to move away so had to put up with the smell the whole gig.
 
I feel sorry for people at huge rock festivals who get there super early, get a spot up in the very front and have to be there all day and night. They can't eat, drink, or piss unless they want to lose their spot. Not sure if that would be really worth it for me.
 
Someone told me that at one of the first two gigs on the current Maiden tour, some guy who was on the barrier shit himself. Because he'd queued for ages to get there or whatever, he decided not to leave his spot; he probably saw the whole gig from 5 yards away in complete comfort (other than in his pants) with no-one else near him.
 
Just finished washing my shoes after today's expedition in the forest nearby. It was intended to be a bike ride, but part of the trail was not suited for my bike, so I had to walk about 1,5 km of the trip, at times carrying the bike. And that walking part of the trail was muddy as well, hence the need for washing.
 
I don't get that sort of behaviour. I can only really see it happening when you made it up front all by yourself. But if you're up there with your mates, it is in fact possible to leave your spot every once in a while and let your mates guard it. It's a risk, but unless the people around are major arseholes, you can go out for a piss or get a drink and still get back to where you were.

When nush told us this story in Boston, your actual reaction was to spread your arms and yell, "What the fuck, man! How fucked up is that!" a few times.
