The 10 Commandments Guidelines of Concert Behavior

Finally this whole charade is coming to an end. I wish that I could say that this was as enjoyable as I thought it would be but it really wasn't. Fortunately it did give me something to post on regularly and now I have to find something else to fill that gap and I refuse to post on the election.

So without any further adieu, here's number 10

X. Thou Shalt Not Act A Fool

Seems too simple and too cynical, I know, but it makes perfect sense, and it's all we really need to guarantee that concerts remain enjoyable for everyone involved.

So you ask, "How do you know if I'm actin' a fool?" Well, if you have to ask, you probably are pretty close. If you want a reliable indicator, I stand by the Nana Test. Whenever I'm out in public and have the urge to do something rash, which is more often than I'm comfortable admitting, I stop a moment and think about what my Nana (that's the same as Grandma for those of you who didn't grow up in New Jersey) would do if she witnessed me doing whatever I'm thinking about doing. Just imagine what would your granny say if she saw you violently puking at a show. Or making out with the guy with the driving gloves and the Free Mustache Rides T-Shirt. Or honking a fatty in a smoke-free venue. Harsh right?

So that is the end. I hope that you have enjoyed these rules and will take them to heart the next time that you are at a concert or at least be able to call someone out and let them know which rules they are breaking.
