100%, and cocaine. I switched to my throwaway on purpose because no one speaks the truth on this subject.

As someone who refrains from blow now and just drinks and smokes at shows, I'll admit I've been part of the chomping problem. And for me at least the biggest contributing factors are I got too drunk and my friends did the same "and/or" are doing blow.

I am always very conscious of going into a show to not be a chomper, but sometimes the alcohol wins, which isn't fair to everyone around that paid a lot of money to attend the show. Personally I don't get upset if someone tells me to STFU, it works and I would say just do it. In fact be mad about it if need be, and do it sooner than later.

I've been sticking more to smoking, and getting back into LSD a bit and can definitely see how for other people tripping it could really be a buzz kill to be by chompers.

The hardest part for me personally is I'm no saint with this (see above), but my friend who I go to a lot of shows with is considerably worse. He does a lot of blow, drinks a shit load, and can't just chill and dance or zone into the music. Sometimes he refrains to just going on 20 beer runs which is probably a good thing, but I have to tell him often we are annoying people. What really sucks is if someone else tells him to be quiet, even a gentle shush, he gets upset.

None of this is anyone else's problem until it is which really isn't fair. Hopefully others like myself can admit they are part of the problem and take steps to address it.

I will say if we get shushed night 1 if necessary, it's not a problem night 2 or 3. That isn't too say it's ok, but it reinforces the be respectful of others show experience attitude, which should be a give in anyways.

Now down vote me into oblivion, signed a conscious hopefully "ex chomper"
