I thought I'd try to get used to being in crowds so I figured what is more crowded than the beach on a Sunday in August? I guess I figured wrong.

Well, maybe they will install these urinals like they have in Paris. They look like trash cans, but they are indeed, real urinals in the open air...

In VIP we are issued air conditioned coolers to poop in. They are called bathrooms...

Trying to find all my gear from last year...

But for some reason I am really psyched about Lockn this year. Maybe it's the times, or DeadCo, or maybe it's just me, but I'm looking forward to an epic Lockn.

It's embarrassing that I am 63 years old and am stupid excited about a music festival. But to me, there is not much better than festivating with my extended Dead family. It's the people as much as the music, really.

Then, all too soon, it's back to stupid reality again...
