Default Sticky: WARNING FOR EVERYONE TRAVELING TO EUROPE

Aloha !

Those of you who are travelling over from United States of America - BEWARE!!

As you guys will not be used to General Admission BJ shows, the FC (Front Row) Girls throw bags full of confetti into the air during Captain Crash, so that it goes over everyone. Now you may all be reading this thinking 'Ah thats nice' or 'Ah that sounds fun', well you couldn't be more wrong!!

"Bloomin confetti, in 2008, a piece went in my eye and scratched my eyeball and eyelid and had an infection for 3 weeks, which has led to me getting dry eyes. It was a piece of paper collected from a hole punch. Just want to say be careful with it. I Didnt even get an apology."

=====

Before you all think I'm taking the piss again; this was posted on Backstage by a member there who was very serious about the matter. It's not a prank, it's real. Instead of bitching about the retarded idea of throwing confetti during such a wank song, she bitched on how it got in her eye. How about that?

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Seb, I hope you aren't making light of this very serious issue. IECBC or Infection to the eye caused by confetti affects literally dozens of people every tour. You can get special, confetti proof glasses now, money well spent. People could potentially go blind here, no laughing matter.

Supposedly throwing broken glass around when Captain Crash starts is wrong too, I mean.. how else was I supposed to express my emotions to that song being played?

Projectile vomiting, screaming "rape" at the top of my voice or setting fire to my self haven't went down well in previous shows either.

Confetti though, I never touched that shit. That stuff's for the real mean sons of bitches.
