I has a quick question about concert etiquette, and I figured I'd ask the experts.

Tomorrow is the first real small club show I'll have ever gone to. (EMPIRES YAAAAY!!!!) My only other concert experiences have been: a big amphitheater with assigned seats (Fall Out Boy's HCT), a MASSIVE arena again with seats (MCR), and Warped. A couple other small shows but none where I even thought about waiting in line or getting barrier.

SO! My question is this. I've seen a lot of you bitch about people in pits who have handbags. Well - how do you avoid having a handbag? I need to have on me my keys, my wallet, phone, and ipod, plus for this particular show i have pictures that I'd like the Empires boys to sign that I don't want to get bent. Sooo.. how do you NOT have a bag? I am puzzled. Help!

Also, any other general tips would be awesome. Attire, how shows run... I am just clueless. I feel like this one will be pretty low key (it's at two in the afternoon (no not nine)) but I also need to be prepared for HUSHIES!!!!!!! twice next week.

(OMG I'M SO FUCKING EXCITEDDDDD.)

Oh, man! I was like seriously O.O at the possibility, and your pictures of Travis were from about the right direction (I am crap at recognizing faces, so that was all I was going off of), so I was like...

(But yeah, I was at Montreal. Man, small world anyway.)

Hee, my journal, bringing fangirls together! Maybe you guys can go to other Montreal shows together :)

Heee! I probably won't drive up there again, sadly. I'm not a very good driver, and it's a tiny bit too far for me. But man, that is a hilariously rad coincidence nonetheless.

Aww. I know I'm gonna see skyfalling up here for Cobra in November, so I'm excited for that.

No chance you were also front and centre for Against Me! and Say Anything? That's where I was, haha. If it helps, I have really long brown hair (that gets in everyone's way at shows) and I was wearing a pink Cobra tee, and sometimes had a baseball cap on that said "I DIG".

Oh, man, I wish I could! I definitely don't drive in the winter, though, I'm crazy paranoid about ice. Maybe I'll guilt my husband into driving me up for it, haha.

GCH was the only one I bothered to get close for, unfortunately. I don't remember anyone in particular, but if you saw some chick wandering around in an empires shirt, probably that was me. :)

I would've freaked out if I had seen anyone wearing Empires merch. I need to get one of their shirts. I suppose when I order a Strokes shirt for my best friend's birthday I'll whinge at my dad for him to order that at the same time.
