Well in 05 we were camped out basically right off Shakedown Street. You could literally take like 5 steps and be on Shakedown. And we had this AMAZING "living room" like setup with a shade tent and tarps blocking the sun from all directions and chairs and a cooler which we left sharpies out and wrote a letter on the cooler for that said "If you hung out here please sign your name." and man did people go crazy drawing pictures and stuff. I love that cooler it reminds me of Roo everytime I use it. But apparently our little "living room" was hot shit through out the weekend because we kept finding remnants of people hanging out there. On one of the first nights we came back from a long day and sat down to find a sweet 5 spot just sitting under a cup on our cooler and someone signed it and said "took a couple drinks left money". It was sweet!!!! I didn't mind people taking drinks that's why we left them out there but to think that someone was kind enough to actually pay for them when we weren't there. You don't get any more honest than that. And also another night we came back and apparently some Shakedown hustlers were using it to sell some of there "goods" and they left 2 cups with some remnants of there goods just to say thanks. There's so many more stories about our "living room" from that year.
Also, another year one of my friends was buying "goods" from a Shakedwon hustler and the guy took his bag off and set it down and then all of a sudden he bugged out and started yelling cuss words and getting all nervous and then he just bailed on my friend leaving his bag behind. My friend literally sat around for like an hour waiting for the kid to come back but he never showed and my friend grabbed the bag and eventually just started using the "goods" out of the bag because he never saw the poor guys again. He scored a couple sweet glass pieces out of it too which he still uses today. Kind of an odd yet cool score.

***edited at xiphoid's request - due to aging - his eyesight is just not what it used to be - wait - didn't anyone tell you that too much masturbation is not good for your eyes - j/k
that's not from aging, my eyes are just fubar'd normally...i have never lost the 'lets-take-off-our-glasses-and-compare' contest!
and i'll have you know the masturbation/eyesight connection is a proven myth...because if it were true i'd have been blind before i was able to drive ;D
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
Last year not far from our camp in middle of the afternoon I found a nice bag of smokey treats and then also last year we were going to see radiohead and I stopped before the main entrance to adjust my stash in my pants. Well I was a mess, and I guess I did not realize it and walked into the festival grounds through the main entrance and went to pull my stash out of my pants and it was gone. I had this film canister packed with plenty of party supplies and was like oh shit.......I walked back to where we stopped before going in and there was so much traffic and low and behold, I walked right back to where we were and there on the ground in the mud was my film canister. I was so psyched to have found it and it was like 15 minutes that this all took place. I cannot believe with so many people walking in that are that no one else found it. It was my lucky lucky night.

I think the quote above has something to do with it!
