You're absolutely correct, Nick...GA shows are thick in sweat and spirit, espicially the closer you get to the stage. The pit turns into sauna in the oasis. Only the most fit survive the entire show. The most fit doesn't necessarily mean how your physical health is, rather how fit your mental health is. Mozzer fans are so focused at getting to the front that they would go through trenches of warfare and obliterate whoever is in way. The luckly ones at front exceed their endurance and will power just to stay at the front. Everyone loses gallons of water and salt by the end, but its usually replenished by your surrondings as you bump with one another and accidently (or not) taste them. This is what makes the GA shows beautiful and special.
