I guess there is a reason certain events or shows like such don't happen often in San Antonio mainly because people don't know how to handle themselves in these kinds of events. It could have been way better. But i was also in state thinking that the social environment would be like Nocturnal Festival, clearly my expectations were high.
Nico and I headed out to the club where that show was held at, we ended up arriving 2 hours early which was ok we figured we would be part of the first group in line to get a good spot. Our friends Steph and her friend met up with us while in line which was good so at least we had some friends that we had hang out with us at the show, since Nico didn't even bother contacting her buddies from work that were going, we could have met up with them too and had a big group together.... oh well.... Once the four of us got in we made out way to the floor and got a spot slightly close to the front. Nadastorm started playing people cheered but no one in the front was fucking moving. No one! Sheph and I were dancing and moving it but everyone in front of us was stiff. I was also getting annoyed that Nico wasn't dancing either, but I tried brushing it off. Once Foreign Beggars got onstage that shit turned around. It started to get packed and people were getting crammed. In a way our 4 group was getting closer to the front but it was pointless because all these dumb Flashy half naked twats wanna be go-go dancers that covering the view of the DJs on the floor bar rail near the stage. LIKE WTF I DID NOT PAY TO SEE YOU COOCH OR ASS! Steph amd I snuck under the bar rail to get a good view of the DJs in the very front while Nico and Steph's friend stayed behind. The front was totally compact. I was getting claustrophobic super quick withing probably 10 mins I told steph I had to get back to Nico, I just couldn't handle how packed it was and I was worried about nico being upset that i left her. As I tried making my way back to the center floor going underneath the bar I thought Nico and Steph's frend would be right there waiting for us to pop out. They were NO WHERE TO BE SEEN. All I could think was "OH MY GOD, FUCK! Nico probably left cause she's pissed". So I made way looking for her and Steph's Friend through the club. I basically looked them the whole entire time 12th Planet played. I was totally panicking and I felt like i was about to cry. I could not get over that the first concert that I would go to with my girlfriend, I would end up losing her. Once Skrillex came on I gave up look for any of the three of them I figured i would just get in the crowed and just enjoy seeing Skrillex do his show. He was truly amazing. Druing the he preformed I got my hair pulled, pushed and shoved, got trapled on by people trying to crowd surf, and got grinded on..ugh.. It was Sad hearing the songs that both my girlfriend and I love and we were not together dancing to them. The whole show was over I finally found Nico and Stephy close to the exit. Turns Nico went on a rampage looking for me and Stephy was slightly crying because her friends was ignoring her, he didnt like that we separated from them so he got irritated so he ignored Steph and ditched us. As we started making our was towards the exit some bitch threw up and Nico. Nico was so close to knocking her out, but I think the dumb bitch made be self mostly spit up water just so she can out of the building faster. Stephy went to get her stuff from her jerk friend and we gave her a ride home.
It was a bad night for the three of us.
But Skrillex himself is amazing live, none the less.
