Reader Request: The Unwritten Rules of Crowd Surfing
May 14th, 2008 - by Eddie
Wait, people still do this?
As I wrote before, I was at a Jimmy Eat World/Paramore show recently and witnessed crowd surfing in th emiddle of the arena. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been going to indie shows at small rock clubs where this kind of thing doesn’t happen anymore…but I kinda thought this died. Whatever.
Here begins the unwritten rules for crowd surfing. In no particular order…
No ass punching
No picking of wallets or asses
Someone falls, pick them up…unless that person owes you money
No farting…by anyone. It’s close in there and we don’t need any potential sharts happening
Only surf forward. No one wants to end up in the back
Any more?

How about…
No surfing if you’re the size of Sloth from Goonies. Light as a feather, stiff as board is fun. But nobody likes lifting a ton of sweaty flab. If you’re big boned stay out of the surf.
