LOL.

I'm going to a concert. The thing is like 12hours long. I can't bring food or bottled water. The last time I went to something like that it was at a stadium in the summer and it sucked so much. The only water they sold was Pepsi's brand which had crap ingredients in it and of course the worst food in the country such as hotdogs and doughboys.

They inspect all bags. So I took a few pads out of the wrapper and replaced them with raw food bars with tissue. LOL!

Now how do I get my hydration....

well, you could soak your pads in water and then squeeze the water out into your mouth! lol! just kidding!

That's insane. The organizers have to hire attendants to inspect bags, which must cost a lot, just to ensure they'll profit by the extra food and drink they'll sell. Hmmmm,, I wonder how far profit-squeezers will go.

Maybe you could wear a water bag inside your clothes and look chubby.

They sell "backpacks" which are simply sacks that hold a couple of liters of water in them. They have a straw kinda thing that wraps around to your mouth so you can just drink without having to take it off. Check into a sporting goods store or backpackers store. Wear it under your VERY baggy clothes. Alternately, wear baggy pants and strap a couple of bottles of water to your legs. I assume they are not frisking you.

Good luck

I would call ahead to the venue and and ask if you can speak to a manager, then explain to him/her that you are on a very strict organic diet, and ask if you can arrange to bring in your own simple organic food.

ive stuck oranges in my bra to go to the theater

i suppose you could use melons if yer feeling daring

if its in a stadium is there not a bathroom you can get water at ? sure its city water but it will hydrate you in a pinch

wear a floppy hat and stitch/sting bunches of grapes around the brim nobody will notice enough to ask .. you might look a bit goofy though

LOL! That's disgusting.

They frisk you so ain't going to get away with it on me.Hopefully they at least have Poland Spring or something instead of Coke and Pepsi crap.

Calling ahead is a good idea but it is possible that the management at the venue won't care much about a vegetarian. BUT, if you tell them you have severe food/chemical allergies they might be responsive. This is not a complete lie because if you were to eat cooked, processed stuff all of a sudden your body would definitely react.

I just wanted to note that using sanitary napkins to disguise food is a rather clever idea.

When it's like $3 for a bottle of Pepsi Water and they're paying those people at like $8hr, I'm guessing they make the profit easily.
Pay guy $8hr
Make $180 an hour for every 60 people buying water. Crazy!

If I go to jail for food smuggling will you guys come visit me and bring me some raw food every now and then?

wrap celery to your legs like dynamite...anyone gives you $#@+ just look em in the eye and tell em you are going to BLOW UP THIS MOTHA


or not...celery is very hydrating tho. If you drink water beforehand and after, and have a liter or 2 during the event, you should be fine.

Wow, you guys are creative. I see I'm not the only one who smuggles the quality stuff.

I love the Carmen Miranda ploy - her hat is a fruitarian's dream. Wear a bright, full skirt with all the goodies mentioned underneath it. Bright red lipstick and an attitude to match. Look intently at the frisker and try to unnerve him or her.

www.carmenmiranda.net ..... for inspiration.

Wear knee highs, over the knee socks or thigh highs, and put a slim bottle of water into each calf/leg. Wear slightly flared pants. You might be able to get 2 bottles of water in each leg. That's what I'd do. Hope your sting operation works. Have fun!

haha if I wore a hat like that to a rock concert I'd get my ass kicked. Hey you know what would be funny... Go to one of those maternity stores that sell the fake pillow stomach things so you look pregnant. Pull most of the stuffing out nd fill with food or other "prohibited substances" LOL

Celery is a good idea.. Just thought of something else. If I can find any small, skinny like 2oz bottles.. maybe empty tincture bottles.. Fill them with celery juice or citrus. I need the fluid not the enzymes. something that fits inside makeup looking things or a travel sized tampon box. A foundation bottle would be funny. Shouldn't have too much to worry about during a 10 second frisk and search. I'll go through a guy if I can. What guy is going to dig through that stuff? lol

Yeah the pregnancy thing would work until we're ......well it wouldn't work after 60 years old or before about 13, but that gives raw girls almost 50 years to make good use of it.


So who's playing at the concert?

You're like the female version of a raw James Bond!

Actually I didn't say anything about vegetarianism. My recommendation was to mention a strict ORGANIC diet. The venue can always say that they offer vegetarian choices, however it is unlikely that they have ORGANIC food for sale.

Where there's a will there's a way!

I went to Projekt Revolution yesterday for Linkin Park. All the other groups..sucked. All that stressing over food and everything for nothing. I'm going again tomorrow night, I'm just going to get there for when LP comes on.

As for food..

They actually had organic Dole Bananas. I saw some guy carrying the empty boxes and asked him where I could buy the bananas and it was a tent/stand for "Fruit Smoothies" . Bananas and oranges on display as he used bananas and canned strawberries, canned pinapple and some kind of orange juice that came in a jug. Yuck! So instead of a $5 drink he let me pay $5 for 2 yellow, slightly speckled banannas. They were "dole" but I don't know about organic. I never saw him peel any. I'm guessing they got the organic ones cheap somewhere because they're hard to sell when they're brown and ugly and rotting. which must've been in the drinks and why they were kind of hidden.


I watched how they were letting people in and they just bag checked and felt your waist looking for guns or bottles. haha. If I was going to sneak a gun in to somewhere like that....it wouldn't be in my waist. I had cargo pants on and a baggy concert tshirt on so I had the pockets to stash little things in. I found some flexible and skinny bottle for water and stuck it in my bra strap under my arm. I just couldn't move my arm or it would poke out. lol.

pregnancy doesn't work.

i recently went to this sort of event,
apples and lara bars smuggled away.
my husband has an honesty issue
so when they asked
i told them i had food
but that i was pregnant
gluten-intolerant (c'mon, gluten-free stadium food, that's impossible)
and on a very strict diet.

guess what,
they told me to watch on a screen outside the stadium.

we went to the other gate and lied.

made me furious. and i really was pregnant, the idiots. after 12 hours i would have keeled over. so we left after six. we were tired of it by then anyways. two introverts surrounded by far too many people.

peace-

Maybe you could get a doctors note and bring it with you. It's totally reasonable that someone would not be able to eat the crap they serve at concerts; allergies, diabetes, thyroid disorders, recent surgery...or just trying to lose or gain weight.

Or the second option would be to call the company that's putting on the concert and tell them the truth...If they knew there was a big enough demand they might change things.

Or if you have enough hair you could tease it up into a giant beehive Ricky Lake style and hide an entire farmers market in it.

The only concert I've ever been to that had any bending in their rules is the Mohegan Casino. Something about being able to bring food or water if you need to take medication and you have to show the pills. But that's a whole different enviroment than the Tweeter Center..

I don't care enough to do anything like this again. Not worth it, I'm always just interested in the main band. This is like the 3rd concert in a row I was disapointed in. The long ones are killer. By the time they came out after listening to so much crap for 6 hrs and walking around, we were starting to fall asleep from just sitting around doing..nothing.

I thought the last time I didn't feel great because of the lack of food and hydration but it's everything. Sitting around with people smoking and that smell of grease food. It's nauseating and I had a headache from it. It just reeks of garbage, grease and sewer in the bathroom area. I was only drinking sips at a time so I wouldn't have to use the nasty bathrooms too much. Lots of room and fresh air was good but I could've been sitting in my own backyard or at least in the parking lot until they came on. lol.

Then during the show I finally sat down for, I had someone a few rows in back of me smoking and another guy a few seats down smoking weed. Whenever I got a whif of either I just held my breath or exhaled hard to get it away from me lol
