Question of the Day #31





Gina: I went to a concert with my sister and the singer decided to spend 30 minutes ranting to the crowd about someone who threw a bra on the stage and that he wanted to figure out whose it was and that he couldn't touch it because he has a wife. While the people in front of us were horribly drunk and seemed like they were going to fall down the bleachers at any moment.

Kate: I don't know if I would call it my worst concert moment, but I got kicked in the face in a mosh pit at Warped Tour one year. I believe Aiden was playing at the time.

Sandy: I went to a show to see a band and it was also sad but I was going just for this band (my darkest days) well their bus wrecked so they couldn't play. I was pretty upset about that. I lived and I did get to see them not once but twice in two weeks and met them both times the second time the drummer recognized me from two weeks before. That totally made up for it!

Melissa: I want to start by saying that my worst concert moment is more like an hours long night of embarrassment, a story straight out of a Seventeen magazine. It was the Korn concert in Hartford Connecticut, at the Hartford Civic Center, which PS, is a scary neighborhood. Worse than Harlem. I went with my husband Danny, my friend Gina, her friend and boyfriend in Danny's Altima. Me and Danny had only been dating for about 2 months, but we knew we really liked each other. Yeah. Through the entire concert, I wasn't feeling well. I wasn't exactly the brightest ray of sunshine, either. Seeing a man covered in his own blood and the blood of others probably didn't do much to help either. It wasn't until after the concert when Danny found a McDonald's for me to go to the bathroom that my night became a horrifying moment of embarrassment. Aunt Flow had apparently been visiting for quite a few hours and of course, I had to be wearing light gray jeans. To this day, more than 14 years later, Danny still uses it as a comparison to how bad things can get.

Renee: I have never really had a bad concerns moment but then again I don't go to very many. If anything I would say that seeing # Doors Down earlier this summer and dealing with the crowds on Fremont Street was the worst.

Aisling: Probably when I accidentally got kicked in the head by someone crowd surfing

Twinkle: None

Sid: I'm sorry to say that I haven't been to enough to have a worst moment.

Arminta: At Mushroomhead, when I fell down in the pit. My shoe flew off and I almost got trampled. That was my last time going in a pit, I'm too old now.

Heather: I don't have one

Lori: None

Radeyah: I feel like this happens at every single concert I've been to, but I really dislike when people in front of me effectively block my entire view of the stage.

Colleen: I went to a free outdoor show with my daughter to see Ed Sheeran. He was late to the venue and it poured while we were waiting for him to arrive. It was awful. I hate being in wet clothes!

Jen: A few years back I went to Warped Tour with my sister. It was really hot and I didn't feel well at all. Most of the day I just laid on the grass, trying not to die. A lot of people stopped to ask me if I was okay. It wasn't fun at all!

Drug Use in High School and College

Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
