I'm catching up and only on page 5 but WTF is up with all these "almost fight" stories? It reminds me of 2 years ago when over the course of one night 3 dudes tried to fight Lobster. It was kind of comical.

Anyways, there is a private Lockn' "not-a-gang" Association forming that has a ringer to deal with bullies. If your worried I'll lend him to you. Can't tell you his name but it rhyme's with his fighting style. Crappy! When the bully approaches you, throw him at them. He'll buy you enough time to get away.

Can't deny I was thinking of the same night though.

Sucks to see any of this creeping into the Lockn space.

FWIW I didn't see anything like that at all. Very peaceful.

The only thing that I saw was on the ADA platform (seems like what a lot of the negative energy was springing from)- someone had set up one of those ultra lightweight camp chairs right on the front row. No one was sitting in it for the three hours that I was there. When it started getting more crowded someone moved it over to fit another chair in, and I couldn't hear the whole discussion but two women got in a tiff because it got moved even though nobody ever sat in it.
It is kinda lame to claim a primo spot with a chair but never come...

To me, it's more like the "edgy" incidents were so rare that they bear mentioning. I had a run-in last year with a territorial type at DeadCo and it stands out because it was so unlike the vibe.
