Fail #82: Mosh Injuries

The Moshing at battle of the bands was awesome. There wasnt a band up on stage worth headbanging to properly but one band, the metal/punk/pop-hardcore band, "We Can Breathe In Space" who were soooo awesome with their breakdowns and catchy choruses. i mean, ive been, along with my friendly friends, to see many bands and i have never moshed before. Unless you count the rise against concert where there was a mosh and me and geoff went into it, but the song stopped and we just kinda went in and out the other side...i think. so i dont count that one.

But we, mainly speaking of Miguel, geoffrey, wongy and myself (and maybe brandon and blaise, whom i cant remember seeing amongst the mosh-ers), were nicely sweaty afterwards (wongy knows as he was on the floor when i was headbanging his face and got sweat all over his face from my hair) and we were all feeling a bit of headbanging hurt. I got some scratches and got beaten up a little in the moshing, and geoff went crazy as did miguel and wongy. I particularly enjoyed the enthusiasm radiating from geoffrey getting excited during the pre-performance with me and he went mental in the mosh too....escaped with some neck pain, but was okay...until he moved his head to the side and felt his neck muscles pull to a degree that hurt him and was present the morning after (from what i can remember of discussion).

Surprisingly, the red elbow is the one thats fine....its the one in the middle that really hurts still....though theres not much to show from it.


None of us were victim to severe "bangover" i think is what miguel refered to it as...though in saying this my neck is still stiff and im guessing everyone elses is too. Though i escaped, i did something to my elbow, cos it really hurts still, and got those few marks. but a truelly awesome night thanks to "We Can Breathe In Space". A good night out (in the end).
