The Villages could add moshing and sell hip replacements in the square next to the bar hut.
At the GWAR concert I attended with my son and some of his high school buddies they got the bright idea to stand directly in front of the band. Anyone who's been to a GWAR concert knows the band sprays the crowd with green and red 'goo' and we got soaked. The small fence they put up in front of the band was flimsy and would tip over if leaned against so when the mosh pit formed directly behind us I played offensive lineman and kept all the mayhem from getting to them on the front row. One idiot crowd surfing back to front kicked me in the back of the head twice and after the second time he got planted into the floor, only surf front to back! My son decided he was ready to leave a little early so the next day he heard from every one of his friends that they got hammered after I left and was no longer shielding them! Fun times.
