Thankful for the festival and the friends we made along the way. Hopefully we can all reunite on the farm one day.

Two of the selling points for VIP for us were expedited early entry and close camping. Both of those turned out to be true, and well worth the money. As the years went on the close camping wasn't any closer than GA but the early expedited entry remained throughout the years, specially getting in to the show field.

My first Lockn' (or any fest like that) was the next year, so I got the benefit of the group's collective wisdom and pain, plus my daughter's Bonnaroo/All Good experiences. I also learned in subsequent years that planning is guessing, as many logistics changed. By the last one, though, I think I got it down, and again, owe it to the shared experiences here.

So I appreciate you all blazing the trail, in a manner of speaking.

Ah, yes - Lockn' 1 - I remember it well.

Absolute chaos and madness getting in - I swore I would never return.

Camped out so far in the boonies you had to book a flight to get to the show field. I swore I would never return.

Then the music started. I swore I would be back next year.

Then I met everyone here and now you are stuck with me.

To their credit, every year (I have been to all 7), things improved significantly in just about all areas.

Interlocken 1 before I knew any of you fine people. I went solo and came out the gate hard and fast…never good when the EMTs wake you up mid afternoon of day 1 to make sure you’re alive (for the record I was alive)

Happy Anniversary LOCKN!!
