Why? Did I miss a memo or something? Was somebody stabbed with a Dr. Grip?
Anyway, this is a thread about all the dumb stuff you can’t take into concerts anymore, and any fun or ludicrous stories you have about same.
PS. I had to give up a pen and a mechanical pencil.

They literally paused for three minutes.
Chaki had to yell at the guys and tell them it was cool, and then they let me in.
Many mid-to-big sized venues in Seattle have bag checks, where you pay $3 or so to have someone hold your backpack/possessions for you. I used to think this was a rip-off, but then I thought, if the alternative is to go ALL THE WAY HOME to return my shit, I'll pay the $3.. also, you can buy merch in between and go to the bag check folks and they'll store it for you too.
So, basically.. Bag Checks = ace.

Is this related to concert security or should we just thank you for sharing?

wasn't surprised that wallet chains are being targeted now (I think they're dumb anyway - last time I just left my chain there as it'd come with the wallet I wanted but I never used it).
But as much as I see the security as imperfect and annoying, it does wig me out how little there is at most metal shows I go to. I wasn't patted down or so much checked to see if I had anything under my hat at like my last five shows.
what if I nunchucked the entire moshpit at Slayer?

So nunchucks are ok but you hang up one little cross behind the band...

Couldn't take chewing gum into the Brixton Academy. Fucks sake, why?
