My first concert was the "California Jam", an all-day rock festival at the Ontario Motor Speedway. I was around age 13 or 14, and in a car with 6 teenagers. We got into a pile-up on the freeway on the way there. We abandoned the car and hitch-hiked the rest of the way. When we got there, my boyfriend and I got seperated from our friends. They had the tickets, the food and water, and all the money. When the gates opened, I got trampled by the crowd, and lost my eyeglasses and shoes. I had a whiplash, cracked ribs, and a displaced pelvis. I was ready to go home then but boyfriend wanted to stay. It was one of the most miserable days of my life, and I can't even remember the bands that played that day.
