i've been offered a job to fly down to Camrose to work security at stage 13, everythings paid for and i would probably have backstage access, problems is this, i'm a lifeguard with NO security training. I can deal with people, but not physically, i'm a fairy big guy at 6'2, but i'm only 17 1/2 and i way a whopping 155 pounds. Should i take the job for a chance to go see olp and the rest of stage 13? and possibly get backstage? once again, keep in mind i'm notthe fighter type though and i never done this before. Also any advice on how wild stage 13 gets would be usefull

Definitely take the job. You don't have to be a fighter, just drag crowdsurfers over the fence and prevent people getting hurt in the first couple of rows. You do need some strength, especially in the arms, but I'm sure you have enough of that. Have fun.

Ya man, take it for sure and then meet me and get me backstage. I work with a guy who lived in camrose last year and he said the party of camrose is HUGE as far as the whole camping thing goes... But the concert is just like any other outdoor festival, like Euro said the most you'll have to deal with is the crowd surfing etc... You won't have to fight and if you have a trouble maker there are others to help you out. Hell, I won't be working, but I'll back you up anyway!

i learned this from my dad:

when dealing with drunks, pull them toward you. drunks tend to resist by pull away from you. when they pull away, then push them anywhere you want them to go, and they'll have a hard time pushing back. lord knows how many big ass drunk mother fuckers i've kicked the crap out of in the Army. thanks dad, your an inspiration.

in other words yeah take it, use this on drunkards and just look mean, people won't fuck wit u.

go for it!

This is one of those times when you know the answer already. Go to the concert, have fun, and bring me back a pair of boxers signed (and previously worn) by Raine. It's a win-win situation.

sooo, if you did go, you wouldnt be able to get backstage passes for a couple buddies or anything, wink wink nudge nudge [/subtle]

Ya I was gonna ask that, but I didn't want to sound greedy or like we're using you...

just go and ignor them and bring me

so c'mon dude!! dont keep us waiting, are ya going or not?

if you are, come to the meet-up. its gonna be a grand ol time

i'd take it in a second and i'm only 5'9 and 140.

I'd go to the show but I live so far away, and I'd take the job but I'm also 6'0'' and 191 lbs

gah! i've decided i want to go, but now it might be to late to get the job! I'm going to call for it tommorow, but that's only a few days before the concert....i hope i get in. As for hooking you guys up, i'll do whatever i can, i'll be the skinny young looking security with brown hair if i'm there, i'll try and where a cm somewhere on my hand

oh i'malso more comforted because i'm going with 2 of my friends that happpen to be HUGE natives. These guys are just absolutly huge like 6'3 and 270 pounds! They're actually both like huge teddy bears but people won't know that

only 270? I got them Beat

lol even if you did, it's not 270 of fat, and these guys can fight too!

Did you say natives? Like native american/aboriginal/indian?

I sure hope they're as nice as you say they are. I've seen some really mean native sercurity before!! They beat up people for no reason, knocked some probably 13 year old kids tooth out and even hit a girl!


They were psychos.

Not that all native security are... but I haven't seen a lot of native security... just those guys who were on drugs or something...

Oh ya and do u have a name that we would yell out and you'd look? So we know it's you? So we're not yelling CLUMSYBOY! and everyone thinks we're insulting some kid that trips a lot...

If you want to do it, then go for it. If it was me though, I wouldn't. I've often considered a job at a venue (not seriously as the closest venue is about 1 1/2 hours from where I live, but I've tossed the idea around) and I've come to the conclusion that, while you will get in to all the shows for free and will get backstage a good bit, you won't really get to enjoy the show. I mean, if it's OLP, of course you're going to enjoy what you hear, but pulling crowd surfers out of the crowd and such is going to put quite a damper on the actual "fun" of the concert IMO.

Then again, you could always try to make an OLP concert be one of your first days and just totally do nothing (as far as your job) that day, enjoy the concert, and get backstage...then the next day you'd be looking for a new job

these native friends arn't actual security, this is their first job, and believe me they're the biggest pussy cats ever......well not ifyour trying to fight them, but they're not crazy or anything like you said, just very very big. oh by the way, don't let that get around though, i don't thinkthey would want people to know that, not to mention only one of the the 2 twins is the type to be gentle in a fight........the other ones a gr. 12 football lineman.....
