I broke my toe at a show in May because I wasn’t wearing good enough shoes to be in the pit that I didn’t exactly plan on being in. Learn from my mistakes, protect your toes.

But seriously. Please stay safe at shows and drink plenty of water and don’t get awful sunburns and PLEASE wear your earplugs. You can get super cheap, super comfortable reusable ones that still allow for great sound fidelity in the high end and then you won’t have to worry about developing a permanent ringing/hissing soundtrack later in life.

Also, if you’re gonna take drugs, know what you’re taking and let a friend who’s staying drug-free know what you’ve taken. If pill testing is available, USE IT. Also, if you or a friend needs a medic TELL THEM WHAT YOU/THEY TOOK. They’re not police, and they’re not there to judge, they just want to give you the best care possible without worrying about funky drug interactions. Telling friends and medics what you took can 100% save your life! Love, a former volunteer drug-rover from Sydney Mardi Gras Afterparty.
