there's nothing like going in for a piss and seeing sh!t, toilet paper, and puke all the way up to the toilet seat.
I've always called that a "poo-cano". The worst is when it's peaked above the seat top. I've frequently wondered "Did they stand on the sides of the seat to get it to rise up like that without getting backspash?"...

funny, i've wondered that same thing. it doesn't make sense, especially the way it peaks like a mountain top. it must take some precision to make your poo land and stick on a 1in x 1in platform made of toilet paper.
YUK How often do they clean those things? I can tell I might be in for some portolet horrors like I've never seen before. I'll bet I can close the door on a poo mountain faster than a speeding bullet!
They schedule to clean them once a day, but during the monsoon of 2004? (I can't remember right now), they couldn't get the trucks to some of the one's in Centeroo.
I've only seen that once at a 'Roo, mostly at the smaller fests or races where they go the whole weekend without a cleanout.

Last year, they did an amazing job of keeping them clean! There was always a truck at at least one set of portos, when we were walking to/from Centeroo. While they are never pleasant, I didn't see any REALLY bad ones. With them cleaning them so often, I'd say that I was blessed with totally "fresh" ones on about a dozen occassions. It's the little things in life...

Ok, two stories 1 gross, one sad.
I'll go sad first and then make you wanna vomit.
During oysterhead last year this girl is out of her mind runs up to a security guy throws her arms around him and starts yelling, "Help me, help me, save me" The security guard is completely freaked out by all this, and starts calling for help. In the meantime a guy, presumably her boyfriend comes and tries to calm her down and get her to chill... it doesn't work, and the next thing you know she's being strapped to a board (by six or so people) screaming bloody murder as they inject her with some sort of a tranq. They hall her and her boyfriend off on golf carts to who knows where. I would say she probably just needed a change of scenery or music even (oysterhead was a little dark at the time). So don't think the medical staff really know how to help in every situation. They could have blown that girls mind completely. Hope she's ok.
And now for the gross. I was in a porto next to the main stage and someone had dropped a deuce in the urinal... I still don't understand how that worked.
About thirty years ago (Yes Thirty they had concerts then) I was at a concert at Saratoga NY. I needed to go, I saw another guy who I thought was taking a leek behind a bush. So I walked on over and was about to do my business when I looked down and saw he was not taking a leek and he was not alone I didn't catch the couples name as I moved to a different bush. Ah! the GOOD OLD Days!
I was sitting by the fountain at about 6am on Saturday morning in 05. Some guy who was completely out of his gourd was walking through the fountain in his tighty whities and seemed to be LOVING the sensation of the water pouring on him when all of a sudden he started freaking out. He got all wound up and bugged out then slipped, hit his back against the bench next to the center of the fountain and fell down in the fountain. At this point he was violently convulsing and it appeared that he had trouble breathing. Me and another guy ran into the fountain, picked him up by his arms and legs and dragged him out of the water. Then some staff ran by, radioed for help and the medics came. He was fine. He just tripped out WAY too hard. At first it looked like he was ODing, but it turned out he was okay.
So as my first post I have two stories. The first one wasn't actually at the show. Last year was my first year. I drove over to my freinds house to pick him up for Roo and pack his stuff in my car. His driveway was really steep, and for some reason i tried to go in reverse and cut my steering wheel really hard. I ended up cracking the axel of my car before we even started the 16 hour drive. The drive there and back sucked, and if we went over 50 mph my car would shake violently. I'm surprised we made it. Second was the Dios guy. It was my first night and seeing that naked dude fall from like 25 feet up was some scary stuff. The guys in the band handled it well though and played an awesome set.

I've heard a lot of people talking about that, and that seems insane!! Does anyone have any pictures? Man, that fall must of hurt.
Anyone want my tix? Just kidding. Stay smart, have fun, know your way ad take care of yourself and others. I have to say that if I see anyone in my crowd trying to push it, I will def try to look out for them, as I know they will for me. I am going to try to bring extra items in my pack everyday that might possibly help someone else out in a situation that can be aided w/o the authorities.
Well it wasn't bonnarro, but at Phish's Lemonwheel in '97 I saw this dude writhing on the ground pulling his hair out near some trash cans. When I got a little closer I could see the clumps of hair in his hands. Looked like he was having a bad day!!
i saw a dude pop a squat and drop a deuce during Tom Petty last year. It was mad nasty too, i w ouldnt have necesarily noticed him but the crowd around him began to circle away from the sh*tter, leaving him exposed. I can;t remember if this is true or not but i tell people it was durimg free fallin...
Ok This thread made me reinstate my login after a long year of non posting! So this will be my 5th roo and I haven't seen too many "bad" things. I started thinking of what I would consider the worst and came up with a lil' list: 1st year, saw a guy with a baby kitten that shouldn't have been separated from it's mom yet-I shudder to think what became of it. 2nd or 3rd year, saw a woman pushing a stroller with a kid probably under 6 months, totally passed out and sunburnt--bad mommy! (speaking of, my sis went w/ my bf and me to Waka and had a fit about some young parents with a newborn sitting very close to the stage. She's in speech pathology and said they were completely damaging that poor baby's tender hearing. that was pretty bad too) last year, saw a guy freaking out get taken down by some medical/security folks. Didn't scare me or anything though, it was actually pretty funny! We took pictures to commemorate the event.
BUT above all this--the worst thing I saw was after the Radiohead show last year. We stayed to help pick up the enormous mess that everyone leaves after a headliner. So, I'm going along my merry way picking stuff up when I grab a bottle that's pretty heavy still. AND WARM. I look down to discover a bottle of urine in my ungloved hand. I, of course, drop that sh*t and keep moving. But I quickly realize that there is a literal SEA of bottles of urine. I abandon my efforts at cleaning and say a quick thanks to the Clean Vibes crew because if I had to deal with that every night, I'd quit. So attn BOYS--EWWWW! No one wants to touch your urine. THROW AWAY YOUR URINE BOTTLES!! I mean, gross! I've seen some nasty stuff working in the hospital, but this was mind-blowing to me! Who teaches boys to pee in bottles and leave them for other people to throw away? Is there some sort of boy manual that you all get when you're little??
