I'll be there tomorrow I have to work tomorrow 8-5. Benedetto will be getting there tonight by himself to set up. Let's keep our plans to the music festivals thread in the NY regional discussion.
Fuckin double post. I always start typing before it's done loading on my phone and fuck everything up! Anyway like Lou said, I'll be headed up solo tonight so i'm down for a NS meet up with some beers and perhaps a blunt! I plan to get there a little before 8. Look out for my flag above my beige ez up or I'll check this thread. Let the rage begin!

Shit yeah! I think I'll be rolling in around the same time.
This is literally a mile from my house. Nothing against it, but i will be trying my hardest to stay away, mostly do to the traffic and the large influx of people.
That being said, I hope it kicks some major ass, all goes well, and that all in attendance have a great time and enjoy the little peaceful town of Saugerties.
Wish I could go but in Whistler right now. But, in case you're looking for a fun thing to do to take a little break from raging, Fawns leap is a popular cliff jumping spot just up the road towards tannersville. Cool location, with lots of different heights. Heads up though, lately it's gotten pretty filled in and last time I was there (2 weeks ago) it was about 8 feet deep, usually hitting bottom pretty hard. Have a good time there folks!
I saw it come together and then fall apart. Sucks missing Bassnectar but had a total blast otherwise and wouldn't change a thing. Rebulution fucking killed it. griz and Moby back to back was so fun too. Random sets in the circus like cap slap and Lindsay Lowend too were illlllllll
Was tripping through the whole storm/mud... it was fucking rough. Got towed out at 3am and my friend drove 4.5 hours back to Burlington. First two days were soooo epic though Big G was the best show I've ever seen in my life
ThurnisHaleySo was there a thunderstorm or something?
It looked like a war zone this morning. They evacuated the grounds and were recommending for people to head to their cars for shelter. It fucking poured. There was already so much mud from the thunderstorms all week, even though Friday and Saturday no rain. For the first round of storms a lot of people stayed and were still raging. Then the storms let up and they cancelled bassnectar due to the storms that were coming. So tons of people started leaving and it began to pour again. Led to so many cars getting stuck, people waiting for shuttles in the rain, no Sunday night headliners. A lot of horror stories. We stayed and got wasted so it wasn't bad for us. When were leaving in the morning saw many abandoned campsites. It was a good thing benedetto had the 4 wheel drive. Saw a few cars sunk to the floorboards in mud. You could have left there with a nice camping set up based on shit people left. I'm sure that happens at most festivals though.
These days there are way too many of the things anyway. A few year ago there were a couple random things in the crowd to reference from now sometimes there shit everywhere like totem upon totem blocking everyones view.
Heard the weather sucked but saw some video, pics and facebook crap from before and seemed like a good time. It had a pretty nice mix of tunes. I would have probably gone.
Hope everyone was able to salvage most of their shit. Mud, floods and canceled last nights suck. Good they're refunding people though. Seems like other than the weather things went well and it will happen again.

Gotta disagree with you... It was super useful and I actually enjoyed the other totems. Whoever had the army of lit up jellyfish was killing it.
But yeah the first 2 days were absolutely epic. Big G, Twiddle, Griz and Excision were easily in the top 10 shows I've ever seen. However, everything about the way it was organized was so scummy and centered around making money. They were completely unprepared for a disaster like that.
louie.miragsI was not expecting a refund but I'll take it. I had an amazing time. Favorite sets: Modest Mouse, Rebelution, Griz, Moby and a bunch more...
ZimmermanI also think it's really nice that we're getting 33% refunds on our GA tickets
I can't believe the amount of complaining but everyone right from the very beginning. Everyone seemed to have something stuck up their ass. My friends and neighbors all had a fucking blast. Sure the fest was severly unorganized but 95% of it was pUre fun and rage. So many different types of people came together to raid. Such a diverse crowd. It was a beautiful thing. Except for the naked Asian man on bathsalts. Could of done without that and the 50 cops on site..
bfulmerI heard about that!! He was at Griz right? I was in front so I didn't see but my friends said it happened right in front of them haha..
we were out smoking a cig and saw a bunch of different people coming out to find security to send in. They of course looked baffled and confused. Some fire and EMT personnel wound up going in with the 2 yellow shirts.
louie.miragsGreat fucking weekend! Then, it all went to shittttttttttt... We stayed and said fuck evacuating. How did you guys fare? Favorite sets?
Hudson was unreal, friday i'd have to say late night flying lotus and saturday big gigantic front row during the rain storm. First_rodeo and I head about the storm in the morning so we put everything in the car off site and prepared to rage in the rain. Ended up smoking blunts in our neighbors canopy instead cuz they cancelled everything :/. All in all it was a great time, cool kids, completely unorganized and a lot of cops but you just gotta be smart.
I've seen so many butthurt posts on facebook about how much it sucked, but I had an amazing time. I've been to a lot of shows, but I think being up against the barricade at big g was the best experience I've had so far and one of the top three sets I've ever seen. That said, STS9 has to be up there too.
Despite waiting in line just to get to the security checkpoint from 12:30 at night until 7 the next morning (just to wait in more lines), getting poison ivy (fucking all over myself and it almost becoming systemic), and having bassnectar cancelled, I would totally go again.
I would love to hear some of your mudson project stories
Glad to hear soundtribe is killing it. They really fell off for a while. Then 2011 or 12 I saw a few shows and it they were back on track. They can put on a great show.
Also despite all the shit I would still totally go next year if I was around. I think this year I might have stayed on phish terr but was def on a possibilities list.
Glad people had a good time despite the shitstorm. I've been to fests and had the last night canceled due to shit weather so I feel your pain.
Also everything I saw before the storm was positive.

You were upfront for big g too?! I was raging with the kids holding the blowup cactus wearing a big g shirt totem.
I never gave edm the time of day until Mysteryland.. Now I embrace it and have a lot of fun. I appreciate edm at a show or if it comes on when I'm at a bar/club and I'm the right amount of drunk. The Griz and moby sets back to back were awesome at THP. Don't get me wrong, I am a jam band kinda guy, but when it comes to music at the gym or I'm wasted I can dig some house music.
Oh yeah, well that's why I said on a general scale. I think there is some really good music that falls under EDM. It's really just personal preference. I just can't get into it.
I mostly went to THP for Flatbush Zombies. I went to a lot of sets and not a single one was a wubfest, although I would have gone to nectar.
