Yeah, SCI blew me away. That was supposed to be my last show . I did catch the riders play ripple, that made me happy
superbob:
That messed up dude, I hope they come out on top. The security coming in was breezy to average IME, and always has been, sounds like somebody fingered your man to them, or he fucked up, b/c that is pretty much a description of a mugging...

hopping the fence, finding a friend with a (used) ticket-stubb, and using that to get a wristband.
we got there around 4 or something on friday afternoon (drove straight from the ratdog show in chicago on thursday, but didn't leave there until 3 am & stopped a couple of times to take a nap, eat some lunch, etc). once we arrived, i kicked all the kids i was with out of my car (none of us had tickets), had a friend who was already in & had a wristband come meet me at the highway and drive my car in, and then took his ticket-stubb up to one of the gates. told them i had been there since thursday, had fallen asleep in a chair around 2pm on friday, and woke up to find my wristband had been snatched. without too much trouble at all they gave me a "new" one and told me to be more careful - but by that evening, the vast majority of kids i know who were trying to pull a similar stunt were turned down, and told to pay the (now reduced, at least) price to get a wristband or wait momentarily until security escorted them out 
custie.

Has anyone ever had any problems a Burning Man thats probably the only festvial I would consider going to anytime in the near future...
I have read that Burning Man has hot chicks going up to dudes and asking if they got any weed or psychedelics. The guys that say yes and give it to them get swarmed by the cops riding around on ATV's.
So, at BM they have good looking female narcs out trying to get dudes trapped. The BM pigs are federal cops as well.

I personally like smaller fests, in the woods. Fuck all this 75,000 people in 100 degree weather with no shade, and 5 bands playing at once ( yes bonnaroo I'm talking about you ), so you miss half the acts.
I headed south to all good this year and saw a few people getting busted. Feds were in there on the back of a pick up truck just chillin by the main walk way, happened to be 20 feet from our campsite. I saw a dude buying doses off someone right in front of me and while he was doing it he whistled sorta and flicked his hat while the guy was cutting doses, right then those four guys on their truck looked up and the one started writing something down on a pad of paper ( probably physical description to bust later, I dunno ).
I also had a guy approach me and ask if I had ounces of shrooms. I said no. He said " are you sure you dont have any ounces of mushrooms", once again no. He then pinched his nose like he was rubbing sweat off and flicked his hat. Real shady.
I watched those feds go up to a guy selling nitrous balloons, and just take it. Literally two of them picked up their tank and carried it down the hill to another car. A couple guys were chasing them screaming to show them a badge but they wouldn't, Gave a hell of a shitty vibe.
What I wanna know is......
Do all fests have these "gangs" at them. I'm sure you've noticed these people. They all have black bandanas somewhere on them, usually african american, sometimes white, but always have that thugged out look to em. And they are always selling fake ass drugs. you'll hear em yell...
Mushrooms Hash Opium Yayo
And it's all fake.
They have to be carrying guns, because one dude will approach you and try to sell it to you, and the other dude will be back in the tents and cars kinda hiding and keeping an eye on you to seee if you'll try anything funny.
I mean the dude had dried out Shitake mushrooms. And he colored tin foil with a highlighter and ripped it into tiny flakes and put it in the bag to look like vermicillium (sp). Said the flakes were pure psilocin crystals. I laughed in every assholes face selling that shit.

It is sad to see these posts regarding festivals. My experience echoes many that are written here -- either fuckers are out to beat you with fake shit or they are out to bust you. There are of course cool cats doing things right but it is getting far and few between.
Fuck 'em.
However, I recently went to the Goodstock festival and although there was a scant turnout at least the pigs were in low profile (only busted one tripping fool that poured water on another dude's guitar and fell off the stage. As security was yanking him off he kept screaming that he was Jimi Hendrix and that he loved everybody. I can't fault WV security getting worked up and calling in the State Police for that TOO MUCH).
Anyway, the idea that the smaller, less well-known and less corporate events are going to be more chill is right to me now. Hell, I would steer very clear of any Shroomery gathering just in case of fuck-ups like have been documented or the law figuring it's an easy place to nab drugs.
If YOU were a cop looking for drug dealings and goings on wouldn't you take a chance on the Bonnaroos?
I love the festivals but they have gotten too big and too much monkey-shine comes with it.
Nothing beats a private camping with just well-known friends and good times.
My old grandpappy told me when I was young that in life avoid 2 things if at all possible: court and hospitals. I say he was right.
Fuck all that festival horseshit, it just ain't worth the potential headaches.
