Roo 08: I was escorting a tripping kid back to his campsite via golf cart taxi. He had fallen asleep with his head in my lap, when all of a sudden I thought he stopped breathing. Luckily there was a med tent nearby and he ended up being ok ^_^
I dont know if anyone remembers this but this one kid at bisco 06 lost his mind and with this wild look in his eye just started swinging his fists hitting everyone around him then soemone hit him in the face really hard and he left. Then about 5 min later he comes barreling into the crowd from the side and started doing the same thing I'm pretty sure some kids dragged him out and beat the nuts out of him and then handed him over to security. lol, I saw him a week later a bisco show in jersey and he had a serious black eye, like swollen shut and I asked him what the hell happened and he got really defensive about it and walked away, I thought that was pretty funny. good thing is I havent seen him at a show since then.
i remember seeing him laying in the dirt outside of the tent for a minute...he was rolling around in it and then got up and ran back in the tent - i'm guessing this was after he got taken out the first time...yikes.

2007: Me and Molly had a run-in and I ended up puking in the field of the What Stage right as Panic was coming on. I was sick the whole show, and just sat down the whole time, saying "Oh, that's Surprise Valley, that's Barstools and Dreamers..." So sad, so sad. That same night, I come back to my campsite after the show to find my friends had already packed up our stuff and made us leave in the middle of the night. Oh and also getting sick after the Dust Bowl that occurred that year. I'm really positive for this year though!
^Been there. It sucks when you can't enjoy a show that you really want to. Did you try to physically dominate your friends and tell them to leave in the morning? That's what I would have done.

That is absolutely insane. I was at that show...happy the kid got knocked out and happier you got to see him a week later.
I got a random punch in the face from this jerkstore who was apparently tripping too hard to have fun. Got a black eye
I got a tooth knocked out by one of these people. He didn't actually hit me, but my beer bottle that was up to my mouth while I was trying to take a sip....swallowing half your tooth really sucks. I'm all for mind expansion, but if you can't control yourself, you should probably go to the back of the crowd where you have more room!!
Edit: This isn't my Roo horror story, it was Claypool in Atlanta when Trey came and jammed with him. 09 will be my first roo ;D

Yeah, after 07 everyone I went with came back with an upper respiratory infection after breathing in the dust and God-knows-what-else for four days. We've been getting plenty of rain in TN this spring so that situation won't be a problem this year.

This year will be my first Roo but the people I'm going with have been going since 06 and this happen last year. It's not a horror story in the traditional sence but nonetheless could be a scary experience. Apparently there were a bunch of kids at Roo last year and two in particular were these little like ten year old kids with blonde dreads and no shirts. My friends said they were all whacked out on fungi and those kids came up to them holding lassos and lassoed them together and started maniacally laughing. Who know's where there parents were but it really freaked my friends out and kinda ruined there dose. I'm trying to keep the horror to a minimum this year but this will not deter me from finding the fun.
BTW, Jerkstore as an adjective for a person who punches you in the eye is f'n hillarious and has been added into my frequently used weird adjective vocabulary...so karma to fumted.

Sounds to me like some wooks lost their offspring...
Ok. So when telling stories, please refrain from talking about this substance and that. It's really not necessary to do so. We all know. Just skip those parts or do a fill in the blank_______ or something.

I have to say that traffic the first year trying to get out was so awful! It was the only year I went (so far -going this year) -- and the potable water not being so potable.

"Yeah, well the Jerkstore called...they're running out of you!"

I'm glad someone finally picked up on that censored word reference

lol when i read that post i also mentally added 'jerkstore' to my vernacular. hilarious!
My horror story? After saving up $500 to have at Roo, my car got impounded this weekend due to a new rule the California govt has inflicted on vehicles that have a lapse in insurance. Two days it took to switch insurance companies. . . $700 to get my car out of jail! Ouch. Thank God I already have my plane tix, Roo tix, and two awesome friends to help me out! I'm positive this will be my only Roo Horror Story!
in 06 at radiohead. this guy was obviously goofed out on somethin and was dancin around with a huge mag light in his hand. eventually he just lost it and chucked the mag light into the air as if it was a glowstick. some people nearby went up to him and were like "hey man thats not cool" and this dude was like "what! what! wanna go?! wanna go?!! lets do this!" and stripped down completely naked and started egging people on to fight him. had to be escorted out by security. the horror aspect is the poor guy that got nailed by the mag light or the people that almost had to fight this naked guy.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Not getting in trouble, but my 'Roo horror story occurred last year.
We stayed at WalMart wednesday night, and replaced one of the tires on the pop-up while we were there because it was kind of old. COntinued through the night in our pre-roo anticipation party and eventually woke up to a beautiful Manchester morning. Jumped in the cars and headed down I-24.. We made it only a few miles down the highway when a God-awful noise started screeching from behind us, we pulled over, did a walk around and realized someone hadn't tightened the replacement tire fully, and it broke off, along with the pegs.. So it was irreplaceable and needed to be welded back together... So there we sat, on the side of the freeway as we saw everyone drive past us and into the fest.. But, we got it fixed up and made it in by early afternoon, and COMPLETELY forgot it had ever happened ;D
i cant believe all the people saying this is the first time ive heard jerkstore. anyone ever hear of seinfeld?
I think it's more amazing that in a discussion of a cultural reference somebody would have so little self awareness that they would let themselves embody the derogatory term under discussion.
This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together.
