Getting Home Safely
Again, remember to set up a meeting place with your friends before you enter the
hall so that if you get separated you can find each other afterwards.
Many people come by Rock Med looking for their friends, and
we often have patients who don't know where to meet their friends.
Make a note of where you leave your car. Some of our staff say bad words when
you ask them to help find someone's car -- in the past they've spent
hours searching the parking lots with patients, and that's when
the person knew where the car was parked.
If someone is dropping you off, remember that when the concert
is over, hundreds of cars will be trying to get out of the parking
lot as your ride is coming in to pick you up. It may take an hour
or even longer for the parking lot to clear, so take this into
account when telling your ride when and where to pick you up.
Neighborhoods near some concert halls are also not the greatest.
Venue security usually maintain a skeleton staff until well after
the show is over if you need a hand.
Rock Medicine is there to help, but everyone -- the bands,
the promoters, the venues, and ultimately you -- would be much
happier if we didn't have anything at all to do!
