No, you didn't...I'm an east coast guy, and been going to shows since the early 80's...we do things faster and harder out here. I've travelled allover the country, living in many places for years. There is no contest between the east and west. There are some great bands that have come from the west coast, but the crowds are entirely different. I think the west coast has a passive aggressive vibe, that's actually quite irritating...this is why I moved back east. I have to admit the south hasn't got much going either, I was in GA for awhile, and the crowds there were similair to those of CA and WA. Of course, the kids today, simply don't know what a pit is supposed to be like these days, ever since the mainstream acceptance of "punk" occured, we started seeing the "jocks" and so forth coming in...and they missed the point entirely.
