Overpriced hotels. This upcoming weekend at Lolla averages $250/night. Of course its split between four guys for four nights so it doesn't end up being that bad dunno what he's talking about tbh, i'm only sleeping with birds this weekend! Please do... In another room so I can grab a bed for myself and Ms Bollum...

And just to prove it... this is V Fest in Toronto a few years back... yep, that's a fence behind us forcing us to drink overpriced beers away from the stages... It also forces people to throw beers over the fence when security isn't looking to their mates on the outside to get beers to the stages... Attachments:

"Your main purpose is Oasis?"
Very good point sir. Probably never would have met the man if it wasn't for the fences...

Others I've been include Coachella and Virgin Festival in Toronto when Oasis was there (yep, the famous Noel incident). Coachella includes too many hippies that spend more time in hot box tents than enjoying the banter of those around you, and V Fest logistics were terrible. Also, both of those sites require you to drink in fenced in cages away from the stages! What's the point if you can't drink freely? Seems like the opposite of Dour festival in Belgium. I went there in 2008 to see BJM, Neon Neon and a couple of others play. The festival ran from thursday untill sunday but the camping opened on wednesday. When we got there on wednesday in the first hour I already saw two people being dragged away bij first aid because the passed out. You could literally hear a fucking ambulance every half our for the entire festival. Some crazy shit that was Even though I was fucking pissed on everything there was around myself it actually started to annoy me because people were constantly asking if you had acid, cocaine or whatever. Some people even asked me a swig (if that's the right word) from my beer for them to swallow their XTC. Fuck off, go buy yourself a fucking beer. Also when I was tripping like a motherfucker people kept asking you shit which clearly is the last thing you want when you're spaced out with some mates. Was a great festival nevertheless but some people were just terrible cunts. Was lucky though, when me and my mates went to Brussels by train we had cocaine, marijuana, acid and xtc with us. I heard from another guy the train after us was being inspected by the Belgian police with dogs and such. I wouldn't mind getting arrested for anything drug related in here but in another country I would shit myself probably

Sounds horrific tbh...part of the charm of a festival is smelling like shite for 5 days and never being sober. Plus sleeping in a tent in an overcrowded field after spending the night sat boozing around a fire with all your mates is one of the best parts IMO. yes, indeed. some days i don't even bother to go the festival for most of the day, when there's shit bands playing and all. on those days it's way better to hang around with your mates, drinking, smoking, having a laugh with a few other that camp around you etc. nothing beats waking up smelling like a rat and realizing you really need a beer to make it through the day ;D

"some people even asked me for a swig of my beer" would be a better way to phrase it but that's the right word, aye.

I got it back fine the next morning BUT there was a sanitary towel in the bin on top of it, and every time I smoked that hash I was haunted by it.

I was sleeping through the whole accident.
