How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

I'm afraid, at this stage in my life, they would have to pay ME to get in that crowd. I'm glad you enjoy it @David777 ! I'm sure it's A lot of fun.
he wasn't in the crowd he was outside... that would be me also... not paying that kind of money to be jostled when I can stand outside the fence and hear the music just as well... :D
 

Today I had one of the Insurance underwriters call me.. and they had a form to fill in all about the smallest details of the accident, , either they could email to me or they could ask the questions over the phone..so I let them ask me because of the difficulty typing currently...

we were on the phone an hour and a half.. jeez... :eek:when I hung up, my left arm ( the good arm) went straight into a painful spasm where I'd been holding the phone tightly..

Actually, the venue in very hilly and forested Golden Gate Park is surrounded well beyond the music venues by temporary tall steel wire chain link fencing to discourage quality free listening. As for the dense concert crowd, that never bothers me as long as there are open areas which there were, though such is impossible to see from the photo low camera angle.

Most concert goers today tend to focus their attention on watching musicians play. As a short person often blocked in crowds by standing taller others that has also never played musical instruments, as an adult, have always been more interested in listening to whatever live music and dancing. In the earlier era, rock concerts in our region never had seating in front of stages, thus people were all standing.

I strongly dislike seating in front of rock concert stages that arose later. And am not one to dance in one spot but rather wander about finding wider open spaces to do so. That also allows meeting others socially, versus being stuck in one place. Have a gymnastic skill of rarely ever touching much less running into nearby others, able to rapidly freeze stop, when any others approach too closely then continue dancing dynamically just as rapidly when space opens again.

At each side of the stage were huge screens. So even those way in the back could see the musicians. As a polo field, the venue is 1400 feet long so those in back would otherwise be looking at ants.

đź‘‹I doubt people noticed, but I've been off SF for quite a while. So one 'accomplishment' today was getting my laptop back after a week. I'd taken it into the shop with the track pad and keyboard no longer functioning. The shop was out of the specific part my MacBook needed. And a three-day statutory weekend happened to intervened, as well.

Boy, did I have a lot of emails to sift through! a bunch of spam, to be sure!... but I was careful not to trash emails from people & offices important to me.

It feels good to be back here. I'v got things to catch up on. Hope everyone here is doing well.:)
 
Welcome back, @JBR

I hate when something breaks down close to a long weekend. It usually means staff are taking advantage and having an extended holiday. I don’t blame them. Just don’t like the timing.
