Punk scientist kicked out of classical symphony concert for crowdsurfing
http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/punk_scientist_kicked_out_of_classical_symphony_concert_for_crowdsurfingHallelujah! According to the New York Daily News, Dr. David Glowacki, a leading American scientist and research fellow at the Royal Society in London, was kicked out of a classical musical concert after he attempted to crowdsurf.
The audience was invited onstage to "clap and whoop,” but Glowacki “got very over-excited” and tried to crowdsurf during the “Hallelujah” chorus of Handel’s “Messiah.” That’s punk.
Apparently, members of the audience at the Bristol Old Vic were so annoyed by him that they physically threw him out of the concert. Check out a report from Metro below:...
Glowacki also denied being drunk.

he sounds like the kind of guy I'd go to shows with. I woulda helped him up.
I once got kicked in the head by Blacky (bass player for Voivod) when he went stage diving/crowd surfing at the end of a show.
In fact it was at this show:
and here's me at about 3:42 in the video
I couldn't find any vid of him kicking me in the head but it was all good fun. I bet me and the Doc could have some fun at a show.
