6'6" And Nothing We Can Do About It

The topic at hand is near and dear to my heart and 6'6" frame. Should tall dudes stand in the back?

i have short friends who either plan to arrive early or know to strategically place themselves in places where they can see like balconies, etc. my cousin wanted to bring a box or footstool at one time- she thinks people who go to DC/Baltimore shows are taller than people in NYC/Philly.
besides the article is about people in wheelchairs who kind of are the exception in terms of large crowd accomodation anyway.
one of my pet peeves are people who crowd up in front and give no respect to opening acts- some of which i come to shows to see sometimes, and these fans of the headliners do not yield to people who want to see the openers. this is more of a problem in those festival shows though.
by the way guys, i saw muse in san diego last week- great show!; Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:41:00 PM
