My wife and I treated ourselves to a "kid free" weekend and attended this years Stagecoach music festival. Overall we had a wonderful time. Sadly our first night we had some trouble..which is why I am writing.
We had been sitting for hours in a nice spot, we could see the screen sitting in our chairs and enjoy the music. (we are in our mid 30's)
As the evening progressed these girls who somehow were attached to the group sitting next to us showed up. They had to be younger than 21 as everyone over 21 had the wristbands to drink and had this group been old enough to drink, they'd have had the bands. Anyway, my wife is a Desert Storm Nurse Veteran, she has had 15 knee surgerys and has back problems due to her military carreer and is unable to stand for long periods, which is why we chose the spot we did so she could sit and enjoy the show.
About half way through John Fogerty the group made their way between the people's chair in front of us and our blanket. They began dancing and jumping around screaming and stayed there. We could no longer see from our seated position. We asked nicely if they wouldn't mind moving over and explained my wifes reasons for needing to sit. We were ignored.
We asked again if they would move and were told to "party, wooooo, why would we want to sit"
This was upsetting and angered by their disrespect we went to find an event staff/security guard to assist us. All we were asking is for them to move into the 8X5 spot they had and allow us to enjoy the concert seated. They then said we could move in front of them if we were going to continue complaining, and we did just to salvage the evening.
Things would have been fine from there if they had left us alone.
They began taunting my wife and I. Screaming "B*#CH" and "You're such a awful person,why can't you have fun" and "f-ing this and that" This bordered on insane. We simply asked for some kindness and understanding.
We ended up having to get the police to come over and tell them to knock it off. This was our special weekend and these girls gave it a rough start.
They should be ashamed of their actions. If our daughter ever disrespected someone this way I'd be dissapointed.
We didn't ask them to leave, just move over into the large space they had rather than being in a line in front of us.
Everyone..respect your fellow concert goers, you all paid the same to get in (turns out this group had won free tickets on the radio, figures)
Let everyone enjoy the show, and if someone is disabled for any reason..
respect their needs as some day you may need someone to do the same for you.

Thanks Sunkisses. I hope if others read this maybe it will have a "pay it forward" effect and we can all show each other some kindness and respect in the places we go and in dealing with others. It would make the world a better place.

yes...
I hope so.But its hard to teach a spoiled dog new tricks....
Guess it's the family life they come from ...
Mom's and dads acting like children breeds quite a new generation...
If they only new how classless they look in others eyes....
I look at the young stars and it is sad they don't understand money can't buy class...
Oh well maybe this eye opener will give them a second thought..
OOH was that to long of a post?

This is exactly why parents should be able to disapline their children! If they don't the kids grow up to be spoiled, disrespectful, snots that shouldn't be allowed in public. I'm embarassed to be of around the same age as them. I hope your next Stagecoach experience is much better.

Most of the 20 something girls there looked like skanks dressed in what I would describe as eye patches for a bathing suit top and a sweatband as a "skirt". Leaves little to the imagination. I doubt these are the kind of girls the guys will take home to meet Mother...more to take home for the night.

Wow!!! That is sooooo unfortunate that, ...... you and your husband I mean Wife well which one of you ladies call yourself the husband and which one is the wife:confused: ????? We respect people who respect us and themselves which you clearly do not!!! Those horrible people that treated you GIRLS so bad were at that spot first and ended up asking you GIRLS if you would like to move in front of them. Not everyone in the party had won free tickets in fact the young ladies who you are talking about were in fact all over 21, and paid over $2000.00 for their tickets. Maybe when you want people to feel sorry for you, you should tell the story how it really was. It's hard to show respect to couples of the same sex, especially when they are cry babies. I have a question, How did the child come about cause I always thought it took a man and a women to have a child? Happy Mothers day to the both of you!!!:eek: :D

Those are my kind of women. and growing up ging to the river, I would have no problems bringing them home for the night or longer term. If they have the body for it, why not rock it. Im pretty sure you werent complaining about the guys walking around shirtless, etc.... ;)

Class and taste are subjective terms. ;)
the only time I have ever heard someone complain about the clothing girls wear is from another female whos phyiscal build doesnt supprt that type of clothing...to each is own I guess.
My girl spends quite a bit of time being active in watersports and in the gym, the last thing I want her doing is hiding her hard wrok under frumpy clothing and granny panies :cool:
and thanks for the apples, I loved them :D

What a shame a mother wants her daughter to ask for something she may not want...
Sorry it is this world that needs to show there granny pants...

Hate to say this but a similar thing happened with my friends and I all weekend long. One gentelman in my group is disabled and has a prostectic leg. Until this weekend i have never experienced such rudeness and blantant disregard for another human being. I am totally discussed in the actions of not only the concert goers but the staff as well.
1. We found a great place to view the show and placed our chairs in a line. As the day wore on and the drinking escaladed we were trambled over, pushed aside, and even yelled at by a group of older women who got pissed off because my husband said they couldn't walk thru our little row because our friend had one leg. One idiot even asked if we were kidding. I snapped and told her we weren't kidding and he's not moving so they could pass by. My husband told them to go around over and over and over again. FINALLY one of them turned and said lets go. then she says to her friend, "remember what i was saying earlier, well i think we found one" So i snapped again and said "did you just call my husband an a--hole" and she walked away laughing. We tried not to let that get to us. But as the night wore on, the more and more people pushed their way over and thru us. One guys basically barrelled himself between my husband and i as were were hugging and singing along to Don Henley, and pretty much pushed me out of his way and crushed my foot. I was done.
2.We were camping in El Dorado 1 and decided to help our friend and drive him into the handicap parking lot right next to the entrance. At the end of the show we made our way back to the car and all we had to do was make a quick right out of the parking lot and back into El Dorado 1. We were told, excuse me, yelled at that we couldn't do that and that we had to turn left and go down a couple blocks and back in. Well guess what, Every road was block and we drove around as well as a lot of other people until after 1:00 AM. We got into a fight with one police officer because my husband asked him a question on how to get our disabled friend back in and he almost got arrested.
3. The handicap accessabilty was a load of crap. On Sunday we made our way pretty much up to the front fence right behind the handicap seating ramp to the left of the stage. Killer spot.... but..... our friend, with a prostetic leg wanted to sit up there in hopes of not being trambled like he was all weekend. the security guy (kid) was super polite but in order to sit there he said that my friend had to "WALK" back to the front and get a special wrist band. Well that wasn't happening but luckily at the same time his boss walked up and spoke to the people that give out the bands and let my husband go get it for him. that was nice, but before the concert even started, both handicap seating areas were packed and some people were not even handicap unless you call an obease woman handicapped. then my friend needed to use the bathroom. So his wife went and asked the security at the handicap ramp where to go and he said that they could go use to facilities to the left of the stage up my the front. So they made their way over there and when they got there they were rudely told that they couldn't use them and they were out of order anyway. So another security person let them use the facilities behind the beer/wine gardens.
My point here is....... there was absolutely no thought into handicap concert goers. IF they do this next year....i hope they think long and hard about that as well as marking walk ways so people don't tramble over you,,,in which they finally figured that out by Sunday. But the people there.... for the most part were pretty nice, then you had your little tramps that made you wonder if their parents knew what they were wearing or what they would think of their actions. We saw two ladies, i'd say late 30's early 40's in the beer gardens getting hit on by this young guy who thought he was a part of the Chippendales stripper group. I almost spit my beer out from laughing at these people. The literally needed to go get a room.
We would go again,,,, maybe, they'd have to have a really good line up. do we regret going, not at all. Just disappointed in the actions of some people.
both handicap seating areas were packed and some people were not even handicap unless you call an obease woman handicapped.
99.9% of obese people have diabetes. Most of those will either loose their sight or a limb. Since your friend is an amputee you might have a little bit more compassion toward those who have a disease.
I'm just saying

i hear you and that totally came out wrong. I'm sure she had her reasons to sit there but we just had a very hard time watching this women walk up and down the ramp to go smoke and it just didn't look right to us. But i didn't realize obesity is considered a handicap. I also didn't realize that having a disease such as obesity or diabetes allows you to use handcap accessibilties. News to me.

If obesity is a good enough reason to use a handicap space then i want to become obease so i can take someone's spot up close. I'm just sayin'

Obesity is confusing..i used to work for Loma Linda Univ as a nurse for their family med group, and we had patients that were obese due to thyroid problems as well as diabetes...and other reasons as well, just as simple as overeating...so I see how easy it is to judge someone, and it is irritating to see someone walking up and down a ramp to smoke, get a triple cheeseburger and walk back to their seat. I could use my right with my back surgery but leave my spot for someone more deserving. There is always one in a crowd...just roll with the flow i guess.

This all boils down to lawn seating vs. seat seating.
GA at Stagecoach is lawn seating and you get with that everything you get at a normal concert's lawn seating. So, you have to choose I guess (if you call a million dollars vs. a few bucks a choice).
KuntryGal

OK - Can we not pick on anyone with any handicap wether that includes obesity or not!?
I am no longer obese, but I used to be. I had surgery 3 years ago becuase no matter what I tried I couldn't lose weight and finally lost 140 pounds with the life saving surgery. Obesity can be caused by many factors you may or may not know and than it also causes even more conditions and handicaps that you may not be aware of. I just hate when people make judgements about it now!
Also - regarding the handicapped situations....I also sat next to a young lady this weekend who was in a wheelchair and had the same things happen to her and us...We told several people that they could not sit where she could not get into and out of her spot in the shade (she was at a corner of one of the GA tents) and had one gentleman tell us to F*CK OFF. Disgusting how people treat those with handicap and that are PERFECT or NORMAL in their own eyes.
We just need to learn to get along. Even on this board!
Sorry you all got my gander up on this issue!...just my .02 cents...
Kymery
05-12-2008, 06:46 AM
Kuntrgal, great post and my sentiments exactly. Glad you got thru your surgery, my ex sis in law went thru that also, what a great option than many can use. That is what I was noting in my post, there are several reasons for obesity. Same with my back pain, co-workers think I was lying, but I was in tears in pain, just cuz you cant see it does not mean it is not there, bad enough to have a two level system put in, 6 titanium screws etc...still they thought I was bluffing and using the system.

My wife and I treated ourselves to a "kid free" weekend and attended this years Stagecoach music festival. Overall we had a wonderful time. Sadly our first night we had some trouble..which is why I am writing.
We had been sitting for hours in a nice spot, we could see the screen sitting in our chairs and enjoy the music. (we are in our mid 30's)
As the evening progressed these girls who somehow were attached to the group sitting next to us showed up. They had to be younger than 21 as everyone over 21 had the wristbands to drink and had this group been old enough to drink, they'd have had the bands. Anyway, my wife is a Desert Storm Nurse Veteran, she has had 15 knee surgerys and has back problems due to her military carreer and is unable to stand for long periods, which is why we chose the spot we did so she could sit and enjoy the show.
About half way through John Fogerty the group made their way between the people's chair in front of us and our blanket. They began dancing and jumping around screaming and stayed there. We could no longer see from our seated position. We asked nicely if they wouldn't mind moving over and explained my wifes reasons for needing to sit. We were ignored.
We asked again if they would move and were told to "party, wooooo, why would we want to sit"
This was upsetting and angered by their disrespect we went to find an event staff/security guard to assist us. All we were asking is for them to move into the 8X5 spot they had and allow us to enjoy the concert seated. They then said we could move in front of them if we were going to continue complaining, and we did just to salvage the evening.
Things would have been fine from there if they had left us alone.
They began taunting my wife and I. Screaming "B*#CH" and "You're such a awful person,why can't you have fun" and "f-ing this and that" This bordered on insane. We simply asked for some kindness and understanding.
We ended up having to get the police to come over and tell them to knock it off. This was our special weekend and these girls gave it a rough start.
They should be ashamed of their actions. If our daughter ever disrespected someone this way I'd be dissapointed.
We didn't ask them to leave, just move over into the large space they had rather than being in a line in front of us.
Everyone..respect your fellow concert goers, you all paid the same to get in (turns out this group had won free tickets on the radio, figures)
Let everyone enjoy the show, and if someone is disabled for any reason..
respect their needs as some day you may need someone to do the same for you.
I do believe that I was a witness to this event. From what I could see, it looked as if the younger crowd (in their mid 20's) were dancing with each other and having a good time. I saw an older same sex couple begin scooting their chairs up as if to push them out of their area. Then the older lady began yelling because the young girls continued to dance as if, they wanted to ignore the older lady and continue their fun. After a few words were exchanged I could see the standing group inviting the older couple to sit in front of them so they could see and so they could continue to dance. As the women were moving their chairs I saw them point their fingers in the young girls face and yell some words. More words were exchanged then I was SHOCKED to see the older Lady pick up her chair and threaten to hit the young lady with it. After the whole issue was said and done the older lady (with the bad knees and bad back) Stood through the entire eagles concert. So the fight was pointless anyways and as far as I could see was started by the elderly couple. I agree that people should respect their elders but I also believe that older people should also have respect. Their was a lot of people at then festival and it was a grass area with no assigned seating. Everyone needs to respect everyone. The whole crowd was standing for the concert, if you are disabled then the venue will make the appropriate arrangements for you. I saw many arguments over the weekend and was shocked to see this post. Their are always two sides to a story.

As everyone can see, I seemed to have found one or 2 of the people involved with that group I spoke of. You can see the problem we were having with the attitude. Yes, we are a same sex couple and to attack that is really low class. We've been together a loooong time and call each other "wife" as that is how we live. We successfully raise our daughter to be respectful, helpful and a productive member of society. I'd be ashamed if she acted the way these girls did and how she came about is none of anyones business, she was wanted and loved which is more than a lot of male and female couples can say. Regardless of of who we are we are all people and deserved to be given respect. Seeing as all of us were in general admission if we all make it so everyone can see and enjoy then we all win. When someone has a medical condition and can not do what the average person does it is up to those of us more fortunate to help allow them the ability to enjoy as well. We simply asked them to move over. When they did not and were rude is when the problems began. When we did move in front of them, we kept to ourselves untill one of the ringleaders of the girls began screaming in our faces again. We did nothing to instigate the "f-ing, B#$ch" and such. Another couple we didn't even know were annoyed and could not see past the wall of 20-somethings behinds and we shared our spot with them. I can go to bed tonight knowing I gave and helped. Ok, let me address this.
The chairs were scooted in an attempt to be able to see when asking the girls didn't work. Words were exchanged as this was a frustrating situation.
The chair was lifted up to block the verbal attack from one of the younger girls. She was very "in your face" and would not stop. It was not meant as a threat, just a reaction of not wanting to hear anymore. She would not stop when ignored or asked. Sadly we did need to stand for much of the concert and paid for it the next day with ibuprofin. Better seats were found the next 2 days. I believe that post was from one of them as well. It was simply a situation that got out of hand and there was no reasoning with anyone at that point. I was and still am dissapointed in their behavior and in what we had to do to try to enjoy the concert afterwards. Again the issue of us being a same sex couple needs to be dropped as it is low class to attack that. Regardless, we are all people who deserved some respect. When anywhere in life, think of others.(ok if they were 21 then they weren't much older) Karma will get these girls in the end somewhere. Thank you all for showing support . :)
Maybe if we are all a little nicer and less self absorbed the world would be a better place

Therealstory and 10-6 mommy are part of the group in question.
As to the real story.
Who was reprimanded by security and the police, not once, not twice, but 3 times? You also failed to explain that the actual police are who moved us up and told you guys to grow up or you would be ejected, there was no offer by anyone in your party. I do not consider myself elderly at 37 nor my wife at 33. This would only be a comment by someone much younger. My teenage daughter thinks I am elderly too. :). Girls if anything, I came home and had a good talk with my daughter to ensure she would never be so disrespectful.
As the Desert Storm Veteran, I would disagree with the amount of time I stood. I stood for my favorite song so that I could see.
In regards to who was there first. 3 adult members of your party were there first and spent the day next to us with no problems. "The girls", who most definitely were underage, appears just before Fogarty and were asked politely before security intervention to move to their area next to us. They created a wall of 5 girls/woman with 3 of them in front of us, whom has been sitting there all day.
Therealstory and 10-6 mommy need a few more years under their belt. It appears you got little sympathy here. Once we left these girls we had an amazing weekend with no further run-ins.
As far as paying $2000 for your tickets, “the girls" specifically said that they were sorry we paid for ours and obviously they were "smarter" because they got theirs for "free". Seems like they would have rather bragged about spending $2000, if that was factual. That was then followed by F-yous and F-off. In regards to our orientation. I will not bother to dignify that with a response. Grow up!

I am sorry. I was saving face. We only commented on an event. They apparently out of 70k people found us. We believed the warning to be regarding the "scantly clothed girls" comments. Although I agree also know I was doing it when I had a much younger body. To each their own.
We do not want trouble and will not participate in a banter.
This will be over from our standpoint. They will understand it differently in a few years.
