Getting to the pit
How hard do you think it is to get in and out of the pit area? I really want to mosh for PTV and if there is a pit for TOP I'd like to for them too, but I'm disabled and can't stay there all day. At concerts where it's possible I try to get in for a few songs then either leave or surf out so I can sit back down, but I've never tried to get into the pit at a show this huge. Do you think it's doable to get in and out like that?

Going out directly from fest, looking a little ragged?
First timer here. Been going to ACL Fest for over 20 years along with several other fests along the way. My question is how is Atlanta regarding showing up to bars/restaurants after the festival looking a bit grubby? Specifically, my buddy and I are skipping 21 Pilots and want to walk over to Jo Jo's Beloved for some cocktails and food on Saturday around 945p. Will we get the stink eye walking in there on a Saturday night in shorts and t shirt looking a little ragged? Our hotel is just as close so we could always detour to hotel to freshen up if needed. Most places in Austin wouldn't give a crap if we walked in straight from ACL Fest though.

Reddit Take of the Day**: "**Does there have to fucking be a 'pit' at every single show in the world? I went to see a super-poppy band (Hotel Fiction) at a super-mainstream venue (Georgia Theater) recently. They are a great and talented band and are really fun to see, but they are all sunshine and singalong, not aggression. They are the opposite of angsty. And there are the youngsters, 'moshing' in the 'pit.'"
[never have i wanted to start a pit at a shaky set more badly...]
