from school took me to a show one time at a dive bar in the warehouse district downtown at 11pm at night. It was an SST gig with Saccharin Trust and Black Flag. I was a teeny bopper and weighed about 100lbs. She and another girl left me there and said they'd be back later to take me home. I didn't know anyone at the time but I befriended some friendly street punks on the dance floor who were doing back flips off the low stage. When Black Flag started playing someone in the crowd threw a couple of beer bottles at Henry Rollins hitting him in the head. He finished the show but afterwards he was storming around looking for the culprits. He grabbed me by my collar and asked me who did it, I said I didn't know. There was some scuffling and then the cops showed up. About that time the girl from my school showed up to take me home. That was probably the first real hardcore show I went to but I saw the Ramones before that at a larger venue which was excellent.
