I'm in kids... if worst comes to worse we could always just scarf a load of aeros and use the foil.

Fav. time besides Asbury Park is probably Pitchfork. There were a group of young Animal Collective fans in front of us clinging to their lives as us Scenesters jumped about. To preface, I was at the end of a 3 day string of shows, flying from Philly to Columbs, busing to Cleveland, busing to Pontiac, Michigan, then taking a 8hr train to Chicago. 4 Energy drinks. Pushed through however many 1000 Vampire Weekend fans to get toward Brendan, Emily, and katieee. These kids were not having me in front of them, though. So the boys started playing. And I lost it yanno. It was the last show of a very long, great trip. My friend said she thought I was a preacher who had lost his mind. I told her I was just having a damn good time. But yeah, I figured the boys wouldn't play Killer Parties so we threw it up during Yr Hoodrat Friend during "There were just too many kids" Will always remember jumping into the air with those bags of confetti. Those animal collective kids SO sad they were covered in confetti. I'll never forget when we were all attempting to leave the crowd and those kids would NOT let us out. and then as we pushed through the crowd people kept being like "CONFETTI!" or "what the hell happened to you, you are all colorful...." I clogged the drain at the house I was staying at, I'm still finding it in my purse... Close 2nd is DC, at which point I looked up to see the confetti everywhere in the lights above us, slowly floating down while the band played. It was everywhere, must've been a ceiling-fan or the lights or something. I looked on stage and saw Koob lean over to Craig and clearly say "That was awesome" We were all jumping around and everyone was smiling. Security must've magically replaced the drunken-jerky-moshy frat guys behind us with harmless skinny, trendy Asians. The music was loud. The band was tight. I looked behind us at all the people, and there were so many people. It was wonderful. Yanno, it was just one of those moments when life creeps up on you and shouts, "There is goodness in this world." We listened to classic rock the whole ride home. I was happy. Aftermath of that confetti in DC! Confetti is love.

Hey everybody, It's just about finals time. This thread cheers me up. SO I will type.. The confetti, AFAIK, originated during the legendary Asbury Park show we all rave about. By the time the show was over, everyone in the crowd was pretty much covered in beer and (wet) confetti. I kinda remember it happening during "Chicago Seemed Tired.." but I could be wrong. Think the person throwing got kicked out too or at least moved to the back maybe. Hazy night. This was me. I almost got kicked out during Stations, but my friend talked one of the bouncers into letting me stay, if I watched from the back. That last about 2 songs. I took my hat and my long sleeve off and moved closer. About halfway back during Chicago, I asked this dude next to me if he wanted to throw some confetti with me during Killer Parties. Turns out it was Noah-Bandana and some other tall dude. We moved up closer, and then right when Craig got finished saying "Killer parties almost killed me" and everyone was jumping up and down, we all threw it up at the same time. The look on Craig's face when he first saw this is something I'll never forget. I feel like that I helped create one of the many small parts of that evening that made it legendary. So I'm pumped about that.

I can't forget the numerous times with WD there have been confetti either. They're all my favorite times yanno. It just brings a fun element to the night. I mean, there's only one way to enter a hotel in Nowheresville-Pontiac, Michigan, and that way is to be covered in alcohol and cheap confetti. I think I cry every time. Who knew confetti could make someone that happy?? XO WD

asbury park - everything about this night was amazing. we had to convince the cab driver to let us out (she wouldnt take us at first, "it's too dangerous there, let me take you pretty girls to a nice place," she said). from the second i walked in the door of that show there was a crazy energy. the beer being thrown everywhere, the confetti, THE HORNS, hugs and hi-fives from people i didnt know at the time but i have become friends with since, the bouncers who didnt get it but still laughed at all of us going nuts. i have been to quite a few shows and never experienced it quite like that night. my aftermath... and then at the roxy in boston last fall after we threw it i remember craig pointing out into the crowd and saying "i love that shit."
