I went to Camp Bisco in 2011 when it was still in upstate NY and it was my first camp out festival. I didn't want to leave. It felt like I was on another planet.. in the best way.. everything was really laid back. The only thing they gave a shit about was making sure no one snuck in nitrous tanks. That was the only thing they searched cars for at the entry.
I went with a group of friends but one of my favorite memories was walking alone through the camp sites with a lantern around 5 am searching for oxy's and xanax. It was so much fun meeting a bunch of really cool strangers and trading drugs with them. Everyone I met was super nice and I ended up hanging out with them again before I left. I probably wouldn't have interacted with new people had I not gone on that early morning mission by myself so I'm considering going to a festival alone because I don't have any friends interested in going.
You reminded me of an awesome post on reddit I think you might like: https://www.reddit.com/r/festivals/comments/3q6q24/going_to_a_music_festival_alone/
=) Have fun!

Thank you for that link! That's exactly what I was looking for! As for trading drugs with strangers...I actually have plans on taking various...err...samples from my rather large library of exotic psychedelics. I have a strong suspicion that giving away a couple doses of 2c-t-7 or DMT may in fact be a wonderful way to start a friendship with whomever I'm camped next to (assuming they are into psychedelics that is).
Bisco 2011...wasn't that the first time Shpongled played in the US?

There is something particularly haunting about those old, eerie towns, and when you realize how much of the state is run down and in complete economic despair, it's really quite shocking.
Isn't that the truth! Any H.P. Lovecraft fans out there...? Heh.
I actually didn't realize just how much of that there was in PA until rather recently. A friend of mine just got into metal detecting and wanted to go check out some ghost towns in the area. I can't believe how many totally abandoned or near abandoned towns there are with in a two hour drive of my house, stick to the interstate and you never see them. "Centralia" was a trip, real life Silent Hill. I'm guessing the vast majority of these places have something to do with coal mines drying up.

H.P. Lovecraft is good shit.
I've yet to go to Centralia, though I should before they do something about it - I just tend to do a lot of driving on back roads throughout Eastern PA and I love finding old mysterious little towns I've never been to - I've always kind of a been raised or lived around the major population hubs of Eastern PA so sometimes I get out there and realize how big the state is.
I think sometime in the coming weeks I'm gonna organize a small road trip through the state and travel some of those winding roads that I haven't. I try to avoid the turnpike and other major highways when I can unless I'm really trying to get somewhere fast(er), run down or not, PA is a beautiful state to drive through when you take the back roads.
You'll do fine dude.
Stick around these parts too - we've got a fine collection of cool members from PA and neighboring states.

Yea, I'm feeling that myself. Just some weird anti-social jitters, think I'm over it.

Tell me about it. I'm usually more active over at the DMT-Nexus, but this has been my go to community (whether I post frequently or not) for over a decade and a half and when it came down to asking an awkward question, I posted it here. I forget what a great bunch of people hang out at this place. Definitely got to check in more often.
And you should definitely check out Centralia, you can light a match by holding it to the road. I mean come on now, what more can you ask for from an abandoned town? Just don't forget your gas mask....

That sounds like a great idea Actually one of the people I met at bisco gave me a little bit of dmt which I ended up smoking at the peak of an acid trip during shpongle. I'm not sure if that was their first time playing in the states or if that would count because raja ram wasn't there.

Raja Ram was definitely there. That was the first ever Live Shpongle set in the United States. That was so much fun. What a truly weird crowd

Bisco was the most shit fest I ever went to.
Just everything went wrong and it ended up being a terrible time.
From friends getting arrested, to our campsites getting flooded out by rain.
It sucked.

How did your friends get arrested? Clearly it didn't happen inside the festival
Getting arrested at Camp Bisco is no easy accomplishment. Your friend must have done something really stupid

I remember custies managing to get arrested in that long ass car line that stretched down that rural street next to the fairground
Basically started partying way too early before they were able to check in. Drinking brews and car hopping

That is really the only possible way to get arrested at Camp Bisco. You didn't even make it inside. That is just a fail

To be fair, alot of people get rolled getting into festivals. The local police have a fucking field day. Im ultra paranoid and only go to west coast festivals where the drug laws are lax, but I could see how things could go haywire real quick in those but fuck nowhere towns.
Also, bisco is known for having a motorcycle gang run security. Many stories of people being robbed and shaken down for the drugs by them. I wont go to deep into that because ive never been, and ive heard they changed the location.

Yeah but getting beat up and having money stolen from you is better than getting arrested. Bisco used to be a hard festival to get popped at. Cops really will leave you alone for the most part once you get in line. I used to get trashed in line and do coke and K and never got in any kind of trouble. They just don't care there
But yeah the new location sucks. The bikers made Bisco so lawless because they wouldn't allow cops on the festival grounds
When Bisco used to be in NY, I really don't think there were too many festivals that got crazier than Camp Bisco. Our crowd is crazy enough, but add no rules at all except for no tanks? Yeah, shit got nuts. Totally out of control

Well, of course the cops leave you alone inside, its private property. You know whats better then being arrested or beat up? Having a good time without being hassled by anyone. Come check out a festival in California sometime. I feel for you guys though.

OK, so no partying in the car and avoid the mercenary security force if possible. Got it!
I'll let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the input guys!
