Welcome to CC: YOU IN THE PIT, a blog for those of us who spend 8 hours politely nodding on video calls and the other 16 screaming internally to the sound of drop-tuned guitars.
I’m Fran: corporate girly by day, pit-dweller by night, and emotionally unavailable at all times unless you’re talking about riffs, stage dives, or why Electric Callboy is both the problem and the solution.
This blog exists at the chaotic intersection of HR-approved footwear and Doc Martens worn into the floor of Brixton Academy. It’s where I document my ongoing attempts to balance office life with a mosh-heavy schedule and explain why I’ve turned up to Monday morning meetings looking like I lost a bar fight (spoiler: I’ve fallen over at Download Festival on multiple occasions and no, I don’t want to talk about it).
Here, you’ll find:
- Gig reviews, written with the energy of someone still dehydrated from last weekend
- Album breakdowns that may or may not double as emotional breakdowns
- Festival survival tips from someone who considers Berocca a food group
- And reflections on why mosh pits are easier to navigate than office politics (fewer spreadsheets, more honesty)
Whether you’re secretly listening to Stray From the Path during Q3 planning, or just here for the catharsis of loud noises and shared rage, you’re in the right place.
So roll up your sleeves (corporate) or tear them off entirely (metal), it’s time to CC yourself into the chaos.
