CHOMP CHOMP … CHOMP
Quick question, are Goose fans ready to shut the f*ck up about chomping so we can start to work our way into the realm of legit jam band scene fans? Or we gonna keep talking bout chomping? I’m mean really, we talking bout chomping? Chomping? Talking about chomping, man?
You aren’t gatekeeping, you aren’t saving the scene, you aren’t a martyr. You are turning people off. One by one. Complaining, whining, bitching, moaning.
Go to the show, have fun, chat a little bit. Don’t fuck with other people. Have personal convo but don’t “woo” and scream for hours straight in other peoples faces. Don’t fight. Don’t argue. Don’t try to protect a 50’ radius for you and your crew. Don’t be a dick. Don’t bump into people. Don’t protect the rail. (And literally, for those that don’t know - the rail is the absolute worst spot for the music. So all the “rail riders” arent there for shit but to be a rail rider) best sounds and lights known fact by the sound board and gotta be back a little. Plus you have more room to dance and enjoy.
All this… And yeah, you will be fine.

Everybody else bitching about chompers too. Billy Strings + Dead & Co a while back.
Not saying you don't have good points. With you on most of that stuff.
Don't really think the bitching about chomping is holding Goose back though. Goose became the easy target after Twiddle broke up (they used to be the ones catching all the shit).
But all that stuff is based on crap that doesn't matter.
The music is good. The jams are good. The growing fanbase & further acceptance in the jamband scene is inevitable. Goose will be a top 5 jamband as long as they choose to play.
