The happy place

ok a few words about the concert.

My friend and I went there with our daughters.

The only people who weren’t excited about the show were the medics, their reflex vests marking them plainly in the wild sea of mostly black clothed objectively cool-looking people.

Their concern was of the ever growing mosh pit.

And of the singer, cheering them on, daring them to even crazier stunts, ”but don’t sue us”, he said.

Anyway as it gradually grew wilder, we navigated from mid centre to a calmer area where we sat down on the shaking floor and listened from there. Because we were either too young or too old to go bananas in there.

Arguably.

One thing I missed is this: I saw a man wearing a beanie just like mine but black. With an anchor on it and everything.

I felt he could’ve been my brother, had I not stored mine in the wardrobe.
