Wharf Rats
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether any Wharf Rats groups gather at DMB shows. I'm new in recovery and looking ahead to my first show this summer clean and could use the support. Going with some NA friends so that will be great but would love to meet up with other family members. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Re: Wharf Rats
I have some friends in that group, but they hate DMB.

Re: Wharf Rats
If your going to Spac and 'Cuse.(don't know about Holmdel yet?) And maybe if watching a few paisanos sip on a little wine won't bother ya too much, and if you like sausage and peppers, tomato pie, pasta salad, and pastrami sandwiches--then feel free to stop by and say hi. Just gaze along the car roofs and be on the lookout for a pineapple resting on top. That'll be me.

Re: Wharf Rats

Re: Wharf Rats
Also, there used to be something with balloons (yellow, I think) that would signify people in sobriety/recovery at concerts. Not sure if that's still a thing.
Good luck to ya on your journey.

There absolutely are sober people at DMB, and any other concert for that matter. Congrats OP! Hope you can find some other folks to celebrate at the shows with! |

Re: Wharf Rats
So do Wharf Rats and the Phellowship hangout a lot? Chain smoke cigs on lawn and what not?
