I was dropped off with all of our stuff close to tent only while my son went to park the car in Pod 1. In his excitement at finally being there, he walked off and left all but the drivers side window down, lol. He has a nice stereo, but no one messed with it the whole weekend, and, somehow, it was not soaking wet inside from the rain.
We woke up Monday morning with a random dude passed out in one of our chairs. It was hilarious, when we finally woke him up he wasn't disoriented or apologetic or anything, he was just like "heyyyy whassup" and he went on his way. But all he took was a bottle of water, so it's all good.
After I got back from moe. at 7am i opened my tent to find that the 2 guys i was sharing my tent with had taken all the room and my pillow so i made myself a little bed out of mine and my neighbors chairs and was sleeping right outside my neighbors tent under their ez up (we had all been sharing) but i had my blanket completely over my head. When one of the neighbor guys wakes up and walks out of his tent, does a little head count to know all his camp mates are there, he looks at his friend and is like "uum, who's that" . Then they could tell it was me from all the glitter everywhere, I was covered in it all weekend. But it was pretty funny they thought some random person crashed at their site. one of those neighbors also said one year he opened his tent and there was a guy passed out right outside the opening to his tent just laying on the ground haha.
Monday morning I awoke at 8 AM to go to the bathroom, along the way I saw a guy with a Mexico soccer jersey walking around with 4-5 backpacks, on the way back I saw said guy get knocked the fuck out because he was ransacking peoples things and got caught. Camp Ace Ventura btw...whoop whoop!

First Roo. Did cleanup. I was astonished not only at the still functioning gear people leave for trash (unnecessary waste) but also the lack of care they have for the farm. I know our group put our trash and recyclables in bags, and that had nothing to do with working for Clean Vibes. Common courtesy, in my opinion. I'll admit what I ran into during clean up really wasnt as bad as I had anticipated, but some of it was just ridiculous and gross. Rotten packs of hot dogs, bags of meat laying on the ground? Come on.
The only reason why I actually feel kind of annoyed by the amount of garbage left behind is due to the fact that when I visited Japan last year for Fuji Rock Fest (which was also unreal in many different ways then roo was) THEY DONT LITTER AT ALL! It's just crazy since you dont realize how bad your own country is until you go somewhere else and look around and start to say to your self wow we really are that bad... Its just kind of sad that we cant do the same as they do. They dont even have garbage cans in Japan and they still manage to leave absolutely NO trash behind, and no I am not exaggerating. Ever since seeing that I have personally been a lot better at throwing my trash away, I will admit im not perfect and definitely left some stuff behind, but looking at the fields it was unreal at how much trash was scattered about. I wonder if we will ever change at this point. Japan changed me a little so hopefully others can go somewhere and see the differences someday like I did.
I remember in the past that after the headliner, Clean Vibes would pass out trash bags and my wife and I would walk around picking up recycling. I didn't see that this year. Did I just miss it, or didn't they do that this year? The trash seemed not as bad early on (we thought due to the free water), but by Sunday it looked pretty bad.
Before Phish Sunday nite, after Snoop... there were a couple of folks walking around with bags getting recyclables... my hubby and I gathered as much as we could for them .. they said they were from Maine.... I dont know if there were planning on bringing the bags back with them for the Deposit! (HAHAHA!)

They were probably collecting for the contest for free 2010 tickets.

Tents all around us were ransacked the last night of the fest. B and a friend decided to go for a walk, but I stayed in the tent to watch our stuff. I'm so glad I did that, because we would have been majorly screwed if someone stole our equip.
If someone came into our tent while I was laying down... There would have been serious hell to pay, no matter if it was a hippie, thug, or just some random corned up person. I don't do well with theft at all.

Our tent got torn apart on the last night, I'm assuming while we were off enjoying Phish. Luckily we had locked most of our valuables in our cars. I did overhear that my neighbor got her camera and cell phone stolen. It sucks that we have to worry about stuff like this while we are having such a good time! I think this year was particularly bad for theft- it was my 4th Roo, and have never heard as many horror stories.
