Since I'm not much on words, and it described Lockn so well, I included it in my new web page.

My wife of 19 years doesn't find any joy from it. It irritates her, not because she is a jealous type, but because sometimes my X calls in the wee hours of the morning.
The thing I take to mind from all of this is, wow, that bitch has one hell of a liver because she has been shitty drunk for over 30 years.
..why yes! yes I do.
Hahahahaaa!!! I'm laffing with you, not at you!

Hey! that gives me an idea!
..speaking of flags.
Since I have been in the market for a new flag, and can't find a decent one that I like,
How about we all fly the same flag as Worf & Sue?
The beer mug Flag could be our secret way of finding each other!
Plus they are easy to purchase, and it's not like its a real popular flag.

I wished I wasn't crippled, so I could try to lead 'em to where they were supposed to be (I have a bit of a savior complex sometimes), but the best I could do is tell them where they were (they were all surprised to find themselves in ADA), ask them where they were supposed to be, and point them in the right general direction. Hopefully it turned out to be a grand adventure that they'll tell their friends about for years to come.
I think, as oldheads, it's kind of our duty. I know when I was younger and spun out, or broke, or hungry, someone always took pity on me. I'm more than happy to pass that on.
No matter how annoying those kids may be.
You are a good man Worf!

I think it's a great idea as I definitely lost my crew a few times this weekend and would have loved to have a flag to find them. Did they bother anyone?
You sir, are an imbecile!

For crying out loud, the flags, and the chairs, and all the sometimes inconvenient nuances are all just part of the festival experience.
I've been going to shows for over 40 years, and back then there were no flags. There were no chairs. You sat on the ground next to piles of garbage and beer bottles that were 3 foot high and tried to remember the shapes of certain garbage piles so you had some sort of landmark to follow! Sometimes if ya had to piss really bad, you pissed where ever you could find a place, if any!
Today's festivals are most definetly a lot better run and managed than they were years ago and I'm sure some of the older folks here can attest to that. I'm not putting my past experiences down, I'm just saying that there has been improvement in leaps and bounds over yester year's concerts and festivals.
Sure I had flags in my way, and I tripped over quite a few chairs during all of this, but if it wasn't for some of the flags I would have never found my way back to my people. I for one am glad there was flags. Flags add to the festival atmosphere just as much as everything else you see and experience at a venue of this size. I can guarantee that if the rules next year stated that flags were forbidden, people would still find something else to fuckin' whine about! Like the blankets, or people sprawled out sleeping or some other shit.
Hey, I agree everyone is entitled to have a good time after spending a lot of their own money, but when you're dealing with that many people all crowded together for one weekend, ya gotta either make some sacrifices, or just stay home with mom! This shit aint for the faint hearted or the weak spirited and if people started to realize that this whole freakin' world doesn't revolve around them, then they would probably have a better time.
Personally I can find more good things to say about my two Lockn experiences, then to sit here and waste everybody elses time whining about the little shit.

I got a lot of strange looks from people when I asked them to let me know if they find a Lobster.

Or in my case it was blind luck but I am learning. And I am very grateful for all of the help especially the avatar!

Who's gonna take the time and effort to obtain and sneak in illicit substances and then spring them on people who didn't even ask? Doesn't add up.

Soon afterwards they returned, and they had this guy strapped to the backboard and were carrying him out. The guy was totally and completely wasted.
Then not long after that, there was another guy that was being helped out with a paramedic under each shoulder and he was def fucked-up!
There was a girl too that was in bad shape and had to be carried out by the paramedics.
In the 15 odd minutes or so that I waited by the gate to be let into the pits, I saw at least a half dozen completely wasted and spaced out people being helped out of the SVIP viewing area in front of the Ridge stage.
They were awake, but none of them were able to walk without help.
The one girl that I noticed had "far away eyes".
Meanwhile, at work just the other day, I was talking to a guy in another dept, and it turns out that he worked that weekend at Lockn as Security.
He said that he "couldn't believe how much acid and hallucinogens were there that weekend" (hmm)
...He said he saw so many people passing bottles of water that were tainted with acid, and that people were spraying and misting each other with acid that was in the mister's!
To hear him talk, he made it sound as if it was an all weekend long acid bath orgy!
I told him I hadn't noticed ..but that I did smell some skunk, occasionally.
...but I mostly hung out at the beer tent, so I have no idea.
