TLDR: A band got a guy roughed up by security because he crowdsurfed one more time during their last song. Then they were maybe going to do an encore, but we all walked out depressed and angry.

Instead of a $15 local benefit show tonight that I maybe should have gone to, I traveled to a downtown festival in Macon, Georgia where there were various country, mariachi, etc. bands playing in different bars, and paid the $60 festival armband price to see the two bands playing at a nightclub called JBA. They were awesome and talented. The first band, SCATTRBRAIN from Atlanta, needs more recognition, check this song out: https://youtu.be/bJGQFUhKZRY?si=VS91kVr8GWXquTQF

But I mainly went to see Girl Tones. They too were amazing, a duo like White Stripes and also crazy talented. There was a circle of punks present, but being a festival there were also older ladies wandering in and the band requested to tone moshing down, or not have it at all, on some songs. It was a fun time, until it wasn't.

Final song, they said go ahead and mosh, but not if the guitarist decided to come down there, and everybody stay off the stage. So far, so good, until a skinny groovy guy who had crowdsurfed earlier did it again, and must have stepped on the stage to do it. The drummer stopped playing, while he was in mid-crowdsurf, pointed a stick at him and said "Get off my fucking stage, sir!" At that point five security guys (either from the venue or festival) plowed through the crowd, pulled him down, twisted him and carried him out, almost knocking me down in the process.

They finished the song and walked off stage without saying anything. Original plan must have been for an encore because I overheard a security guard say "well now everybody's leaving," while another security guard acted apologetically towards a woman yelling at him trying to explain punk culture.

Fuck it, we all walked out. On the bright side, as I started to drive a couple of hours to my stop for the night, I got pretty mad about it, which helped keep me awake until I got there.

Edit: previous version of this post said "F*** JBA," but I'm not sure whether it was club or event security. Subreddit seems to place the blame on the band the most. A reply by some people connected to the venue seems to indicate that it might have been their security after all.

Much like Aquaman, Green Lantern and Flash, which are the characters I have already done, I have decided to do this for a fourth time. This time, I wanted to do Wonder Woman. I should mention I am not fully informed on Wonder Woman comics. So if there are any inconsistencies, anything is missing, or I'm just wrong, please let me know. I'm not perfect, and I'll fix it as soon as possible. I also would love some feedback on how I can improve my method of my master runs moving forward, when I move on to the next character. Thank you for taking time to look at my work.
