okay, so yesterday - at the flying nun gig - i was standing there jamming along to the music, and i was faced with a dilemma - what do you do with your hands at a gig????. i wasnt sure whether to clap, stick them in my (non-exsistent) pockets, or throw them about wildly in the air.
anyone got a solution to this problem???.

um, ALOT more than i expected (since on wednesday - they had only sold 10 tix), but um....guessing - 50 - 70ish - i'm not sure, my estimation sucks.
i'm almost scared to say this to you, but i'll tell ya mate - it fucking went off, well the d4 did anyway. feel like a sheep tho, at one point - jimmy had everyone in the crowd sitting down on the floor, and dion (i think?) jumped in the crowd and was sitting down playing his gat.......true rawk.

only being able to see betchadupa at the R18 cause of a previous engagment, I felt really rank going to the all ages, but i am so glad i did, dion picking on the kids and getting them all to sit down and then joining them on the floor..........classic.
Jenni, maybe you should hold a camera, seems to work for me :)

There's always the old air guitar option....I saw I few people doing that, I'm real bad at gigs though cause I always clap my hands along with the beat, kindof a sub conscious thing I do, it probably looks retarded. Maybe you should just not even think about your hands and they might start doing something all by themselves.......
the ol' "benge knee bend air gat ...
the ol' "benge knee bend air gat style" made famous by those pesky benges (sans lucola), is always a good option, must have rock'n'roll gears and hair to pull those moves off though.
it's why dance music is for dumb people, they need to have glow sticks and other shit in their hands to wave around otherwise they don't know what to do, I mean heaven forebid they stop waving their arms around for 2 seconds, listen and realise they are listening to shit.

clench both hands into fists. extend thumbs. cheesy grin on chops and bust out those Dad-jiving-at-a-wedding moves. Oh yeah that's a hit with the ladies... or point at people with the head wobble move thrown in miami vice styles "hey... ey!.... hey!...." love that ...... or vogue?....
Pockets or beer they're your only safe option really. Someone else's pockets are always a nice place to spend a gig.

Hmmm - There was about 40 - 50 people there I'm guessing, and I'm trying not to include the bar staff ( btw, that bar chick was such a bitch, telling me to smoke outside then letting her friends smoke wherever they wanted) the What Now people, the random band people etc. You should've just done what I did, and sat on a random ledge, bobbed your head and twirled a pen round in your fingers ..... so what if it doesn't look the coolest lol .... I only got up to one of The D4's songs, but then felt like a complete knob because I was standing @ the back and felt like people were looking at me. Most Embarrasing moment: Walking into the chicks toilets and falling down the step in there ..... Oh, and I fell down that step down from the bar area onto the dance floor .. that was pretty embarrasing ... I'm such a fool.

Best thing to do..dont clap. Have ...
Best thing to do..dont clap. Have stood, infront, behind or beside many a freak that claps...but not even in time. (This is a crime). I often opt for by the sides. Or the pockets, but careful though this can look very stupid. As for someone elses pockets, ass pockets especially, very cheesy! Beer is always good, as mentioned, there when you need to be refreshed. Probably the best option.

thing is no one's looking at you* during a gig they're looking at the band. so just kick back and enjoy it - like quad said, your hands will take care of yourselves.
*unless you happen to be wearing two hankies tied together with a shoelace then every one is looking at you but they ain't looking at your hands.
lol! hahahaha... the funniest thing ...
lol! hahahaha... the funniest thing about that comment is that i didn't even get it until a few minutes after i read it. i was thinking "why would anyone wear two hankies tied together with a shoelace? where would you put that? around your head?!"
you could wave them in the air like you ...
you could wave them in the air like you just dont care??
or maybe not
usually at concerts im way up the front getting all squashed up nice in the mosh so my hands tend to just go where there is room!
or if i feel like chilling out further at the back i usually have a smoke in one hand and a boyfriend in the other! :p
