I worked security while in college at the UW.
I got to watch some great shows and getting paid while doing so wasn't a bad gig.
You also got to see some crazy [Bleeeeep!] go down with the people at the barrier in front of the stage. It seemed the southern rock bands like Molly Hatchet and 38 Special brought out the biggest loonies.
My buddy got taken out by a foot long bong to the head, I got bit in the arm by a deranged chick at the Monsters of Rock show.
The best part of the job were the boobs flopping out over the plywood barrier or the show us your tits girls.
