Seriously, that's on par with keeping the baseball that you caught on-the-bounce off someone's noggin.

Nope, no stick. I didn't really think about it too much as the blood was dripping down my face. The people behind me, who wrestled over the stick, stared at me, horrified, so surely they could have been generous enough to offer it up. Assholes.

Did you at least get the damn stick, or did someone thoughtlessly wipe the blood off and take it with them?

Yep, he completely owned me. I was pretty far back...I didn't see it coming towards me, but he must have a good arm.

Are you serious? Did the stick hit you? I was on the left side of the stage and I watched the stick fly into the crowd and though, "damn, that's a pretty serious throw." Not, like a nice high arc. They kicked ass like they always do. One of the best bands playing today.

It was a great set - but before the last song, Ben threw a drumstick into the crowd, and it hit me right in the head...I bled profusely, and ended up getting stitches (well, staples) put on the gash. It was pretty intense.
