POST CONCERT DEPRESSION


We decided that someone needed to address the strange and peculiar disease that affects Switchfoot concert goers.

What is this illness? We call it Post Concert Depression (PCD). What is PCD? Quite simply, it's that depressed feeling that you get after you attend a Switchfoot show.

Symptoms include sadness, apathy, distress, depression when listening to Switchfoot songs, tearfulness, acute loneliness, missing the Switchfoot guys, withdrawal from friends and family, loss of interest in non-Switchfoot activities, grouchiness, anger, sorrow and the desire to create a time machine.


PCD is commonly identified by the five stages of grief that follow a concert:
+ Denial (The concert CAN'T be over! It was too short!)
+ Anger (Why don't I get to go to more concerts? Why aren't my parents willing to drive me across country to see Switchfoot? WHY OH LORD, WHY???)
+ Bargaining (Maybe if I promise to get all A's, be nice to my little sister and help old ladies across the street my parents will take me to another concert!)
+ Depression (Nothing matters anymore. MEANINGLESS! Everything is meaningless.)
+ Acceptance (There will be more concerts to go to in the future. Switchfoot will be back...or they'd better be if they know what's good for them.)


So fans, take heart. No, there is not a cure. But yes, PCD will go away in time! So embrace your grief, knowing that all will be well again soon.

Best wishes and happy Post Concert Depression!

WAYS TO (SOMEWHAT) PREVENT POST CONCERT DEPRESSION*

In order to get the most out of your concert experience (so as to have no regrets!) and significantly lesson the symptoms of Post Concert Depression, do the following:

1) Go early and meet other fans. (Try to get front row!)
2) Take a ton of pictures and videos at the concert.
3) Treat your self to a piece of rad SF merch.
4) Make a t-shirt or poster.
5) Try to enjoy/remember every single moment! (Yes, even delight in those long lines for the bathroom)


WAYS TO (SOMEWHAT) GET OVER POST CONCERT DEPRESSION*

1) Look at all those photos and videos that you took in step 2) on the Prevention list.
2) Make a scrapbook of the experience, blog about it or send your "fan encounter" into LOBH MBR<3) Rewatch all the podcasts to take your mind back to normal SF-iness
4) Think of possible future Switchfoot concerts.
5) If you are of driving age try to make it to another show. If you aren't, bribe some who is to go to another nearby show with you.
