HOW TO SURVIVE A MOSH PIT

 we win for biggest group HAHA

the lalalaladieeez (plus dallin, dub and an ever affectionate trey)

sadies was a good time! i went with my good friend bryce bunker and we had a jolly grand time. for the day date, we did a mud run along with the other 90354 people in our group. then later we went up to al's cabin in pine valley for dinner, games, and pictures.

but what you really want to know is, what's up with this post title?

i was considering calling this post "sadies 2k15" or something predictable like that, but as we all experienced, the sadies dance was nothing but a giant inescapable mosh pit with the occasional dance circle. dj lex wasn't very happy about it lol.

so i decided that it is my duty as a small person in a big world to tell you what i learned about 

what to do when you are repeatedly and involuntarily absorbed by a massive pit of moshing teenagers.

it's a real problem, especially at sadies.

#1 YOU GOTTA KEEP YOUR HAIR UP OHHHOHHH

you got it all wrong, andy grammar. keep your hair up ladies.

if you don't, your locks might get caught in the pit of mosh and begin to drag you down until you are about to get stampeded until a tall man named seth dotson saves your life.

true story.

#2 ELBOWS OUT

defend yo self.

if you don't make yourself a little (very little) bubble of space with your elbows, you will literally get lifted off the ground by the shoulders of the mashing kids around you.

 like, the people around you will still be jumping, but it's so tightly packed that you are just chillin in the air shoulder to shoulder with jumping people. it's weird.

#3 SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR JEWLRY

it won't make it out.

you might not even make it out.

personally, most of my hair didn't even make it out.

HAHA at the end of one song, someone found someone's hair extensions that had been ripped out.

if you have anything remotely unattached, kiss it goodbye.

#4 HAVE A BIG TALL FRIEND NEXT TO YOU AT ALL TIMES

 so you don't collapse into the bodies... kinda like a life line or somethin. life insurance, more like it.

also, if you don't want to lose track of your friends, hold onto each other like your life depends on it. cause it actually kinda does.

#5 CRAWL UNDER THE STAGE

it's the only place where the mosh pit can't absorb you. 

here you can take a nap while the bass vibrates you, and have a closeup look at everyone's feet.

just be sure to get out before the fog machines come on and suffocate you. WHOOPS.

that my friends, is your guide to surviving a mosh pit.

happy moshing,

kp

P.S. please please plllleaaase, do not start a mosh pit to stitches by shawn mendez.

life just doesn't work that way. 

(the song has to at least have a couple solid bass drops)
