There was this guy sitting next to me at Willie Nelson who was puking his guts out. Not once but many times. A swarm of people with digital cameras were snapping his picture. One woman even did some kind of crazy dance around him, apparently to ease his suffering. Towards the end when everyone was cheering Willie on, he began puking again, and the louder people would cheer the more he would puke.
Anyone have any good puke stories from Roo 08?
(Mods, if you feel this thread to be too gross for Inforoo, by all means lock.)
Not a “good” story but I do have a puke aftermath story… At a Sunday afternoon show, I was exhausted and wanted to sit to listen for a bit so I sat then put the hands behind me and to relax. Left hand swimming in someone else’s vomit…stunk but at least I did not lay down!

As everyone was leaving Willie Nelson, I thought to myself that someone is going to come to the next show and probably lay right in that. Sorry to hear that you were the unfortunate victim of such a similar circumstance.

I was just glad that i remembered to wash my hands after the show before eating! Because puke or no puke i wanted to listen to music!!!
We had two 18 year old twin brothers camped next to us - they flew in from Maine - not sure how they ended up in Access camping - anyway - they did not bring anything but tent and clothing.
When we got there Thursday - they were all zipped up in their tent - I know they had to be roasting in there - anyway - they proceeded to get just totally shitfaced and wasted for the next 24 hours
at some point on Friday afternoon - as we were chilling around camp - the side zipper opens, a head pokes out - pukes all over the place and then he passed out again - I'm real glad it rained that night - because that would have really stunk after a little while - at least we were upwind
In '06 I had had some problems with the heat on Friday and ended up in the field hospital. In fact, I was so bad that I was the ONLY person in the field hospital that afternoon. Pretty much missed an entire day of music. I only saw Death Cab, the end of Nickel Creek, and Tom Petty. On Saturday we were up early to get a good spot in front of the Main Stage for Radiohead that night. We would've been on the rail if the gates to the stage had been opened sooner, but we had to settle for about 50 feet back. Darn. Anywho, somewhere around the end of Beck's set I was hurtin' from the heat. We were packed like sardines in a crushed tin can and someone lit up a cigarette next to me. One whiff of the smoke and I grabbed a friends arm and said "I don't feel so good." His eyes bulged out of his head because apparently I didn't look very good either. He eased me to the ground trying to motivate me not to hurl because there was nowhere to throw up but on somebody. He told me to take the towel I brought and cup it around my face, then he started yelling at me because I apparently wasn't doing it right. I think the prospect of me losing my fluids on his shoes made him panic. Luckily, I got a sip of water and a nice misty spray from a friendly neighbor and I was fine and hurl-free. Unfortunately, I missed Beck's performance of 'Loser' which apparently featured an appearance by a giant dancing bear or something.
Other than this, I've had no experience with puking. I've never even noticed any on the ground anywhere and I've never seen anyone do it.
At Roo in 2007, we were sitting outside our camper in some lawn chairs just people watching. Well, one of the neighbors (who was pretty young...like 17 or 18) across the way comes outside, pukes, and then just lays down on the grass. The friend that he was with thought it was the most hilarious thing...the friend also decided to jump on the guy that just puked. But, then, all of a sudden, the guy just jumped up from the grass and began running around like nothing happened. Later, we heard that he had just had his first couple of beers.
That's really the only one I remember...I try to stay away from people who are tossing their cookies.
last year as we were setting up on thursday in the afternoon there were a couple of young guys beside us who had already set up, they were like 17 and fresh outta highschool. a couple of them had already indulged in some magic zoomzooms and seemed to be having a pretty good time. one boy went into his tent looking a bit queasy and about ten minutes later his tent started shaking violently and we all knew what had happened.. one of his friends pulled him out covered in his own wretch and put him in the shade... they had to take everything from the tent and sleep on the ground outside the whole time... too bad too sad lol!

We went to go sit by a tree next to vendors at the Which Stage and right before we sat I noticed a girl hunched over vomiting. A few minutes later i saw her getting help from security.
Right before The Swell Season, the wife and I were sitting with our backs against the rail in front of the soundboard. Some kid who had been "sleeping" next to us just turns and pukes all over the rail. He was far enough away that he didn't get any splashback, but we got to smell it for a good long while.
The funny thing is that after he puked he just got up and left, and his two friends (who had said or done nothing to this point) stayed right where they were. I looked back at the rail to make sure it wasn't draining my way, and his buddy finally pipes up with this gem; "Yeah, he doesn't handle the altitude very well"
Starting saturday morning til I left, I had a terrible stomach ache.. At first i tried to resist it, but it got worse so i finally got in the mood that "maybe if i throw up, i'll feel better and can go see some shows." But then I wasn't even able to do it.
I never did puke, but spent the rest of my time there writhing in pain. no idea why. Luckily we were camped right next to the arch, so I could hear most shows..

Like many, I never made it to Kanye. But it wasn't 'cause I was tired. In the wait I had to much food, not enough water, and too much corn and started puking A LOT. Luckily it had rained Friday and we decided to bring garbage bags to sit on. Nobody got to sit on them but nobody had to sit on anything else either :]
first, i saw a kid who had eaten some magic goodies throw up all over himself and the ground when i was packed in close to the stage for jack johnson. he didn't look too great the whole time we were waiting, and when his friends handed him beer and cigarettes, i had a feeling things were about to go downhill.
then i saw a girl during the middle of the day at the what stage (i can't remember which band was playing) vomiting in her mouth, swallowing it, vomiting, swallowing...like 10 times. i felt bad for her.
and then during yonder, i think, this kid was standing and all of a sudden bent over and vomited on the ground and this dude sitting next to him, and consequently, the vomit, glanced over at the vomit, then up at the kid and then back at the stage.
lotta vomit this year.
and unfortunately this year, my friend ate some magic goodies and threw up in the broo'er tent garbage cans before mmj. i'm proud of her for actually making it to a garbage can.

like 25 minutes before sigur ros i consumed a party favor and it got lodged in my throat. i finally got it down about 5 minutes later, but i got abnormally nauseous, and i was quite scared that i was gonna puke everywhere in front of the hip sigur ros crowd. fortunately, the moment the music started, jonsi's gorgeous voice soothed my stomach.
now that may be pretty far down the list of reasons why sigur ros is awesome in my book, but it's still there. like say, Reason #54,163.
^this same thing happened to a friend of mine during the Biscuits epic set. Although i had no clue it was happenin at the time, i hear tripple stacks are pretty rough when they're stuck in your trachea. She didn't ralph, but she came pretty close.
