10/25/02: No water - Page 2

Seriously Maggie? You don't recall the shit from Woodstock '99, up at the old air force base? Fucked-up porta potties? Incredibly expensive food and water? Fires on the last night? (Dave probably knows first-hand.)

Juju, what the fuck kind of place do you live in? It sounds like your landlord is a slumlord. Are you currently in a lease, or is it a month to month deal?

16oz of water: $4.00
20oz of Pepsi: $4.00
Equivalent of a Pizza Hut "small" thin & crispy, just cheese: $12.00
Hot dog: $4.00
Hamburger: $4.00
Cheeseburger: $5.00
Veggie burger: $7.00
Bag of ice: $20.00 (no shit)

6" Subway sandwich: $4.00 (incidentally, this is what I ate - best deal for the money BY FAR).

As far as porta potties... uh, you had to wade through 6" deep fields of piss and shit to get to them, thanks to a bunch of 'em getting spilled. No way. I relieved my bladder on the tree by our tent and I didn't even consider taking a dump until I got home.

I didn't partake in the fires or looting, but they were starting to build by the time we headed out (after the Chili Peppers' set on Sunday night). Actually, that was about the time that all hell broke loose. Basically, everyone was irritated that it was really basically Profitstock and all the vendors were interested in was raping our wallets. I managed to get by only spending some $75 there and about $100 in preparation (plus $160 or so for the ticket). Lots of people dropped boatloads more. It was truly sickening, seeing the prices, but I guess they're really about standard these days.

Thankfully, the water that was free was piss warm, which tasted cold in 110 degree heat. Brad bought me a Citra for helping him make a food trip; it was almost too cold to drink.

It was a lot of fun being there, but it sucked too. All in all, I'm glad I went - but I will be infinitely better prepared next time one rolls around.

But, I have so many things. So many heavy things. And I live on the third floor!

Truly, I don't. It doesn't sound like it was a lot different from Woodstock II, except possibly a lot less violent.

But then I had other things on my mind in the summer of '99...my surgery had pretty much healed up and the results were becoming operational. I guess I just wasn't paying attention. :-)
