This was my second concert at the Showbox Sodo and first time being on the floor/in a mosh pit - it was CRAZY!! I went with my brother and we got there early enough to be just a couple of rows back from the stage. I lost both of my shoes during the first song (You're Gonna Go Far Kid - everyone just went NUTS)! I got plenty of bruises and I am sore today from all the jumping around, but at least I didn't end up bloody like some people that I saw!!
Showbox Sodo is a lot differently laid out from Showbox at the Market - the SODO one is basically just like a big old warehouse with a bar and a stage attached. It's still pretty cool though - it's just a lot bigger than the one at the Market, so there is less intimacy, but it's handy for shows that draw really big crowds like The Offspring.
(This isn't my picture - we were actually a lot closer to the stage than this!)The concert was great - they played all my favorite songs (You're Gonna Go Far Kid, Hammerhead, Self Esteem, Pretty Fly For a White Guy, My Friend's Got a Girlfriend), etc. They were super high energy, sounded GREAT live, and were a great band to dance around and sing as loudly as possible to!
Here is a video of them live (not from last night): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ4bxQ04dH8&playnext_from=TL&videos=Dn1oair2R4o&feature=rec-LGOUT-exp_fresh%2Bdiv-1r-2-HM
The tickets were fairly expensive but it was such a fun show that I'd definitely go back if my budget allowed. Concerts at the Showbox are addicting... I'm sure I would go to at least a couple every month if I could afford it! Maybe someday...
