-benedettoMysteryland was so fucking awesome.
RedPandaI just went on the website for it and it's $230 not 400. I'm not sure where you got that number.
theabortionatorSeems a lot more reasonable. Was gonna say no way any reg fest is selling $400+ GA tickets in America.

*Nickdel*Pretty sure one of the GA tiers for Ultra tickets were $400
Sky.Yes it was, sucks we didn't link up. Glad you had a great time though. Still deciding between which was better this or last years
-benedettoI saw way more music this year and was surrounded by so many awesome people. They were both great in their own ways for sure. Looking forward to next year already. My 2 favorite sets of the weekend were Richie Hawtin and Griz. What about for you?
Sky.Griz was absolutely insane, honestly I really enjoyed the dr p set at the boat, porter robinson was pretty lame though underwhelming to say the least. tons of felony drugs arrests compared to last year's I was kinda taken back by the increase in police presence
theabortionatorI was gonna ask about that aspect because I heard last year was pretty mellow.
That's lame. Glad I steered clear. That said, scamp is UC central these days. Brought 12 cartons of cigs though and paid for my ticket and gas money off that.
Sky.Last year was extremely mellow I walked in with litterally a carload of shit on a cart the security looked at my mound of shit and just said go. I actually lost a couple packs to security this year, they told me no worries we sell them inside, and by sell they meant 1 gypsy selling shitty marb lights for 15 a pack. I seen litterally to many people to count get super sketched out run into the woods and ditch there shit I contimplated hanging out for a bit to pick up everyone's shit. No trouble finding quality shit, I just hate the vibe increased police presence gives.
theabortionatorwhat country? that sounds pretty steep/ Most I ever paid was interlocken a couple years ago I bought my ticket at the gate and it was 330.
Never head of anything going for 400. Even bonnaroo which is custy central is like 350 tops.
Look for some small fests there are a ton all over the place.

theabortionatorAnd word that doesn't sound that bad about mysteryland. Above posts made it sound sketchy. That said I was still laughing at the people running into the woods thing because either way that's stupid and unnecessary.
-benedettoOr the dummies who swallow everything in one shot. I've heard that said multiple times lol
-benedettoThe 4 felony arrest were prior to the festival beginning/on the way in. Other than that, the police and security were ok. There was no police presence from camping to the festival entrance. The police in the camp deter people from stealing and being grimey so I had no problem with the police. They love looking at all of the girls. Only like 9 arrest total. That's fucking amazing. Quality of stuff sold was testing positive. I guess it depends how you choose to view everything or how security views you because they hardly peaked in my camelback. All in all, best festival I have been to in the last 3 years.
theabortionatorHow many cigs did you bring? I would have been like fuck you I aint given you none of my smokes bitch. Did you have an unreasonable amount? Are you like 12? Just trying to figure out his grounds for taking them.
That's hilarious. I would have followed them into the woods. People get so weird and scared. Going into festivals that have amnesty bins there's all kinds of shit. People are like oh god they're going to find my joint and I'm going to prison for life! Better throw it!
ThaLoraxJust saw this thread for the first time. I really don't go in NSG anymore apparently, because it's over a year old.
I'm going to Beanstalk Festival this weekend. Heading out tomorrow. Love me some camping and live music in the mountains with friends.

Sky.It's a 21+ event I had litterally just those 2 packs on me at the time, you could bring em in camping just not the actual festival. I got into it with the Whoopie Goldberg lookalike security she took them stomped on em then threw them in the trash she said she wanted me to know she wasn't taking them for herself
Sky.http://m.recordonline.com/article/20150524/NEWS/150529664/101114/NEWS
Yeahh... deffinatly way more presence then last year hahah. ML 2014 police issue statement thanking the event goers, and talking about how little arrests there were, how peaceful of an event blah blah blah. This year police release statement flexing talking about how they are cracking down and if you bring illegal substances you will be caught blah blah blah. Idk just saying the numbers don't lie. I litterally had multiple family members calling because the news was making a huge deal about how massive the drug busts were and how many. I lost a couple packs a smokes nothing to serious hahah I wasn't personally harassed by the cops its just my observation, and I guess the observation of the local community which I happen to be apart off
louie.miragsFor ML and other festivals, they need that many cops a lot of the times in order to get the town permits. The cops were barely (if at all) busting people in the festival. I heard way more horror stories at moe.down last year. Cops had a police check right off the thruway. Now that is fucked for sure!
theabortionatorAnd moe.down shouldn't really be mentioned because inside there is pretty much a free for all.

louie.miragsI am thinking of possibly hitting up thursday at mtn jam solo because I do not want to miss those two moe. sets. Has anybody ever hit up a show solo? How did you like the experience. I was also debating on camping solo at a local campground since you can't camp there for only thursday night. Or I may not drink and just smoke and make the hour and 15 minute ride home. Not sure... Anybody have any experience going solo?
theabortionatorMe a friend and zinter are hitting the thursday show so W'ell probably see you. IF not have hit a fuck ton of shows soo. DO IT. Honestly it's nice to go places with people but sometimes it's nice to fly solo honestly. Started doing it out of necessity. Probably 3/4 of the shows I've showed up at I was rolling solo. Not worth missing good music because your friends are lame.
Also if you do camp and end up too fucked up at the jam I can probably give you a ride. That said we'll probably be sporting a full car so thats more or a back up if you end up in a scenario where you're fucked up and not a your tent and don't want to drive.
louie.miragsfor sure man! I am about to put in to get off friday in case I decide to wing it. Which I most likely will. I'll be on the rail for sure so I will keep an eye out for ya. One reason I was thinking of not going was to save money for the Cosmic alignment Festival in 3 weeks but I may just say fuck it and do both

savvy_skianyone going to All Good in WV?
theabortionatorIdk, it's been 4 years for me. Not sure if I wanna go back. Might end up going though
savvy_skiI'm strongly considering it, my brother will be home from Afghanistan so I'm trying to go with him! Primus is his favorite and it's right near my moms birthday. I love having a family that goes to festivals together lol
theabortionatorIf you go check out moe.
Cake is great if the singer isn't totally shit face. I might show up down there.
It's weird, I didn't hit any fests last year cause I was gone and now I feel kind of un motivated to hit fests this year. I did scamp, I'm gonna hit one day of mtn jam, chill is 100% and maybe another one or two but keeping it pretty mellow this summer.
savvy_skimoe. was really good at Dear Jerry! and I really like Cake. always down for SOJA too. there's a lot of good bands but I feel like the line up is sort of lacking for the price of the tix
ZimmermanHow was Dear Jerry?
Hitting Day 1 of Mtn Jam with Abortionator Thursday
