Nine. (Day 9?)

Yeah, I know, so much for being consistent right? Trust me there was alot going on, so there wasn't as much writing or even thinking going on. But as you can see, I'm back.

So let's see....ah yes. Rutgersfest. This past friday had to have been one of the most amazing experiences ever. Not only was it raining cats, dogs, and parakeets, but half the carnival's population was either drunk, high, or both. definitely a sight to see. Imagine the sky literally sobbing upon the earth, and all across the campus parking lot (where the carnival was held) rutgers kids are getting half naked, some barefoot, dancing and screaming while getting drenched to their drawers. Everyone is laughing, umbrellas are being abandoned, people are jumping in puddles, couples are making out. About half of the people are drunk red, or glass-eyed high, and are either as chill as chill gets....or angry as hell. It was definitely amazing.

Then....there was the concert. So who better to perform in a thunderstorm for jaded college kids than N.E.R.D.!!!!! not only did we wait an hour for them to come out, but the rain kept stopping and starting. The crowd was insane! Me and my friends slowly made our way to the front, which was made slower the further up we moved due to the sheer number of people trying to squeeze into the same space. You know that physics law that says "Two masses can't occupy the same space?" Well, try hundreds of kids trying to occupy that front row. Claustrophobic much?

So during the wait, people were pushing. Momentum, being the bitch that she is, meant that if a small group of people shoved in one direction, everyone beyond them was going in that direction. So me and my friends were shoved and crushed. Alot. It was insane. Then people had the nerve to get mad. So at one point I had to kindly say the following:

"You're at a fuckin free concert with already fucked up college kids still lighting up milds and cigarettes. It's obvious what you're getting into! If you don't like it, leave!"

Glad to say that several people did indeed get fed up enough to leave, which meant we moved closer lol. Sorry, but I just like having a good time. When that good time is messed up, I'm no longer nice. Seriously. The people who actually got serious and mad are the same ones that should have just come with "I have a stick up my ass" labels on their foreheads. Jeez.

Anyway, there was also these group of girls who tried to manhandle their way to the front of the crowd cause they were shorter than everyone. Memo: If you are under four feet tall, bring a step ladder. Or get there early. Cause you aren't getting through. They got mad, so one of them smacked me in the neck. No joke. I ignored it at first...until the girl started cursing me out. So I turned around and politely cursed her out. Then her fat friend wanted to try and use her ass to push her way past me and my friend. So at one point the crowd lurched forward. Knowing it was going to push back, I dug my feet in, set up my elbow, and shoved the mess out of Ms. Mega Piggie. I can still remember how digging into her spine felt. Needless to say, they gave up after that.

One of their friends was so drunk, she was threatening to kill people in the audience. I think she was dead ass, cause when her friends tried to calm her down, she started choking the shit out of them. It was the funniest thing I ever seen. Then another girl in front of me and my friend started wildin out cause people were pushing up. This wasn't funny cause she had an umbrella and at one point tried to hit my friend with it. Later on she was trying to choke people with it. Apparently choking is the new anger management system. What would have been funny is if I snatched her umbrella and flung it into the crowd. Hmm...I'll remember that for next time.

Anyway, during the show, I saved a girl's life, participated in a mosh pit with my friend, almost got stepped on, and successfully lost all my friends in the crowd. Oh, and people were crowd surfing like crazy. It was awesome. All kinds of shit were getting thrown, from shirts and sneakers to bottles of soda. I was waiting for a blackberry to go flying. That would have been it. I did catch a shirt though that the stage people were tossing into the crowd. It was so cool.

N.E.R.D. murdered that concert! By the time it was over, I was out of breath, in pain, had an exploding headache, and still wanted more. That was the coolest free concert ever. Definitely not something that I will forget. If I ever meet N.E.R.D. in person, which i might if my writing makes it somewhere, I will have to tell them all about my incredible experience.
