Also, like everyone else has said... I had a DS, PSP, cellphone, and MP3 player in my pants. So actually that's more like $800.
I'm sorry that you can't enjoy music without a mosh pit, and that you feel it ruined your concert experience, but several thousand people didn't seem to have the same problem. PAX isn't exactly your typical concert experience in the first place, though.

[12:32] <+prox> lawl you kickbanned me so hard my client crashed
You do know Bumbershoot is just down the street, right?
I admit, I'm usually part of the shield wall up front, so I haven't been able to see further back, but I guess this doesn't surprise me that much. Some people are all about getting right up front to watch the musicians, some people just enjoy listening to the music. A nerd convention is hardly the typical sort of concert experience.
Long as people are having fun, though, however they choose to do it.

PAX runs from 10 in the morning until 2 in the morning, or even later. A good number of people there at the concert have been there since it opened. A lot of us are fucking exhausted, and the concert is a great way to wind down at the end of the day, listening to kickass music performed by the musicians live, while playing, zomg! games, at a gaming convention.
Then some other guys tried starting a fight with the dancing dudes. Calling them names and loudly making fun of them. Some people, man.
yeah i was right by you guy last year. You had that one chick that was twirling her hair around really crazy last year right?
...i THINK I was right by you guys again this year.
Top right? Right behind the guy who operates the sound boards?
Yeah that was us haha. Sorry if I hit you with my hair =]
Were you the really drunk/exuberant in the middle-right? The moshing wasn't really what the people around you wanted to deal with, dude - sometimes you have to give in to the mood of the room.
I host a podcast about movies.
True, I know at the end of the night I was barely standing.
I just found it strange that there were people in the middle of the crowd playing FF Tactics who seemed to be completely ignoring everything around them.
Moshes are really only useful to me as a way to get closer to the stage. It's so easy to just skirt the edge and end up right in front. Without many people rocking out I didn't get very far.
-mosh vs no mosh
-dating thread
-where's my badge
-missed connections
-THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH PAX CHANGE IT
I miss any?
Not about FFTA2, but most people with DSes on are like this:
no DS:
2:WHAT?!
1:I SAID HEY!
2:OH, HEY.
1:WHAT?
DS:
1:*Joins a room
1:*waits a reallllllly long time for lag to end as a new person joins
1:[types]Hey this band is pretty good I love this song, but they should play excitebike for reals.
2: I agree.
1:*Draws picture of a wang
2:draws a excitewang going over a wang ramp
1:draws a wangbike overheating, again
I didn't mean to imply that I was moshing. I just making my way through the circle that inevitably develops around the moshers. All the movement opens up lots of spaces to move forward.
See, that's a completely abnormal ethos - most concerts, whoever pushes to the front gets to stand in the front. People that go to a lot of other live music would look at you like a three-headed snail if you told them they should just stand behind the people that were first in line.

Most of PAX is a completely abnormal ethos, I believe.
lol you didn't, i didn't mind you guys. my friend got kinda annoyed last year though =\
but yeah this year I was the kid with the Red Keytar on my back.
No, the bullshit was you and your hyperactive little friends repeatedly slamming into me, my girlfriend, and the guy next to us who was carrying a camera and lens combo which I would guess were worth about $2000, and everybody else who just wanted to be there and have fun without being randomly assaulted by obnoxious children.
By all means, bounce around all you want, but the instant you bounce into someone who's not involved you're being a total dickwad.
Props to the Enforcers who came over and enforced the "don't be a dick / don't punch" rules.
*grumble* I didn't really want my first post in this forum to be bitching at someone, but I had to reply to this.
quoted for truth. if you wanna mosh, head up a few blocks to eastlake ave and hit up El Corazon.
Aww well tell him I'm sorry please haha. And yeah I saw you this year too =] I was actually right next to you when a guy was like yelling about how awesome it was and how he wanted to know where you got it haha.
lol yeah I got a ton of compliments and people wanted pictures of me with it. I was like "rly? I just...wanted it to get signed." sunday i was like 'whatever! attention yay!' so I carried it all day. Unfortunatly liz signature is starting to rub.
next year I'll probly carry it around, and/or a different keytar. be easier to spot me for people that i talk to/and or play games with.
For those of you who like dancing, without the moshing, come to the top right side of the concerts next year. We're always welcoming new people into our dancing group! We constantly have people moving around, dancing and yelling and showing love to the bands like crazy too! There is always room, so you wont get your feet stepped on either! Feel free to come join us!
i think i go to the top right of the stage because of some sort of OCD. My friends pointed it out, everytime there was some sort of crowd type thing (omegathon last year, the concerts, etc) i would go to the top right.
so i went to the top left for this years omegathon...
Haha, well next year go back to the right :P
Yeah, I noticed that part of the crowd was the craziest and I wished I had been there. I guess I know next year. :P
2 years in a row and i don't get one ? :P
I have to say, though, with the amount of electronics, laptops, and just plain swag littered around that concert floor, moshing is potentially more destructive than at your run-of-the-mill rock show.
But seriously, OP, "ruined your experience"? You put way too much weight on inflicting unwanted random violence on people. You may want to get that checked out...
"I am compelled to shoot!"
I thought that was one of the coolest aspects of the PAX concerts. I was rocking out to the OneUps while playing Mario Kart on Friday night. Where else could you listen to live music while playing video games? The people that were close to the stage were really into the music, everyone else was enjoying the music in their own way. To each, his own.
And for the record one of the moshers banged into me on Saturday night and almost knocked me onto my ass. So I appreciated the Enforcers breaking it up.
