Just got back from a machine girl concert - my head is killing me, my legs have been turned to jelly, and it was the most incredible night I’ve ever had. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it was still crazy fun!! To think I was anxiously dreading it just earlier today because the tickets were a bit of an impulse buy (this guy I may or may not be interested in wanted someone to go with and a friend mentioned I like machine girl… so of course I had to immediately buy em without a second thought).
I’m not a regular concert-goer by any means. This was my third time ever attending one, and I had no clue what to expect. Different venue, different music genre, and waaay different vibe. It was also the most crowded one I’ve been to, by far - the merch line wrapped around the length of the venue and nearly out the door! Of course, I still had to get in there and wait dutifully for my overpriced t-shirt. Well worth it, this thing is gonna be worn until it’s a loose pile of string.
Not sure what I expected, but as soon as the first song started, a mosh pit broke out, and we just so happened to be square in the middle of the crowd - folks, I am 5’ tall and just barely break 90 pounds. To say I was tossed like a styrofoam cup in the wind would be an understatement. It was incredible. I managed to hang on to my glasses as they flew off my face when the first shove happened, but only just. They’re a bit bent now from me gripping them so hard as I was thrown around lmao.
We managed to move to the periphery between songs - I loved being in the pit, but I certainly couldn’t keep it up for very long - and the rest of the night was spent jamming in the corner as drinks were spilled on my head, the lead singer crowdsurfed right to us, and hundreds of people shoved us around, but more gently this time.
Definitely gonna remember that for a long time, lol - I never expected to enjoy concerts as much as I do, but something about the environment cancels out my usual aversion to loud sounds and crowded spaces.
Anyway, I’m dead tired now - time to sleep!!
