Try to avoid being the guy at the party that annoys everyone else.

Don't spill the bong, and remember its puff-puff-pass. Other than that, don't worry about acting weird or anything, your taking psychedelics weirdness comes with the territory. As long as you're not being a pain in the ass as MrKite advised i'm sure you'll have a blast.

Absolutely! When you talk to people, say whatever you want and if you make new friends, great! If you feel uncomfortable, you can also have a great time wandering around looking at things or posting up people watching. Give away gifts, like cigarettes, lighters, or cool ideas you have and accept things given to you. Most of all, don't give a fuck about anything because you're gathering with people you don't know because you love people, and that's cool. Know that.

Yeah that's right, it is nice to come with things to give away or trade at gatherings.

wait, are we talking about a party with loud music, loud people, drinking?
or is it just a small-ish group of people whom you don't know?
will you be the only one tripping or will everyone?
all these things are very important

It would be smart for at least one person to remain sober...
but who wants to be that guy?!?! lol
seriously, it would be smart especially if dealing with fire. Necessary? probably not

If your camping no one needs to be sober honestly, especially with 12+ people the flock mind will be able to take care of any problems should they arise.

I don't always mind, It's pretty funny watching over a bunch of crazy and/or intoxicated people, I get my kicks.

heh to each his own I guess. Honestly, I guess I wouldn't mind too much... if my buddies asked me to be a trip sitter I'd have no problems with it.
What I hate is being around drunk people when I'm not drunk. And I don't drink. So my social opportunities in college are severely limited haha.
And finally, so my post isn't a complete waste in this thread... I hope you have a good trip with your camping buddies!

Seriously. I've only been drunk once.. and I didn't enjoy it that much. I stick with psychedelics and sinsemilla.
Camping is always fun though. and with that small of a group (even though it's not really that small), things are sure to be good times I hope someone brings a guitar or something. Large group jams/drum circles in the middle of the woods sounds like Heaven.

Been drunk twice. One time you could consider totally hammered and close to getting alcohol poisoning, the other not that drunk but still pretty messed up. Both times I made a total ass out of myself, it's just not that appealing to me.

All 3 of my djembes are too heavy to make the trip, but I intend on buying a new one just for this occasion.....

damn! how fucking big are your djembe's? 28"? I can only imagine the Earth shaking lows that could come from a djembe that big. I've been looking into buying a really nice djembe. Aren't Sageman drums handmade?

I ate 3 hits of semi decent paper blotter and 2 pretty strong gels at gathering a couple weeks ago with 5 people (incuding myself) I never met before and had a blast. I felt like kind of a dick because this park ranger came by and started being an asshole and I made a comment about him being "the fun police" which escalated things to a level they didn't need to be while tripping balls. Nothing happened in the end and we all had a good laugh about it afterward though. Keep an eye on people playing with fire I receive a pretty nasty burn on my leg from jenny swing a flaming log around that just now healing, didn't feel a thing at the time, but it hurt the next day for sure haha.
