once in the 90s at Toad's Place in New Haven there was a total douche of a photographer who didn't need to be there for the first set but was (in everyone's way - i think for Madder Rose opening for Hole godblessit) & tried to be even 'cooler' by telling an impressionable-looking teenager that smoking pot was awesome - i finally got fed up, leaned over, & said something like, 'hey. excuse me. sir? you're a total asshole.' he called me a cunt but at least he stopped talking to the teenage boy (who looked so scared when Hole came on & the moshing began that i pulled him out of the crowd with me-he did not resist).
