Here's an old chestnut of mine,

I was doing monitors for a hardcore gangster rap show in a shed. There were about 18 acts one after another. During the "first" headliner, the lead singer invited the audience on stage. They obliged by pouring over top of security. Security gave up and stood back. At that point the audience decided that since they were up there, they might as well take some stuff home. They began stripping the stage as methodically as an IA crew I've ever encountered. This included the monitors. I was watching the madness when the lead singer came up and demanded I turn his monitor up. I paused, dramatically surveyed the bedlam, and informed him that would not be possible at this time, considering the fact his wedge was making it's way to the door as we spoke. This did not concern him, so he raised his shirt revealing a Glock 9MM pistol and drew it out. Again he stated his request. Again I declined to assist, only this time I was shouting at him from over my shoulder as I made my escape. Later, we found all the big stuff tossed at the turnstiles. (Wouldn’t fit thru the gate)
