Wookies are the people you see at shows that are all grungy and dirty, look like they've been on tour all year, smell aweful, usually are pretty whacked out, and often make a habit of trying to grub anything from food & drink to cigarettes and nugs, etc.
For those with a better description, feel free to revise my definition.
Luna nailed it. I am going to get dirty at Broo. I mean I dont shave daily as it is so Ill have facial hair and be dirty and sweaty but youll know the wookies. They will hit you up for anything at all.
Okay, I get it. So what do you call kind folks who do share? Hippies! I guess that I would fit into that category, not that I judge people, till I meet and get to know a person.
I hate judging people as well I really dont use the term wookie I do find it funny. I used to always use the term Tour Rats. It gets so bad sometimes that you can pull out a smoke and 3 or 4 guys hit you up.
To me you can tell a wookie from the smell, not to pleasant. You usually can smell em before you see em. Also if they can't speak in audible sentences cause they don't have any teeth. Or if there are small insects or birds living in thier hair, they might be a wookie.

Perfect wookie story:
Roo 03 (I think...I recall chartruse wristbands..) some fugged up, smelly wook was hastling the poor girl working a Chineese-food booth on shakedown....basically trying to get 3 meals worth for less than the cost of a single meal....holding up the line trying to order..."can I get a little of this, and a bit of that..and one of these for like 3 bucks?...pissing off everyone in line and berating the girl for not giving him free food that would have likely come out of her own pocket...and to top it all off he was wearing a fake wristband taped together from stubs. So that's a wook to me...not the hair or even the stink, but expecting everything from everybody and giving nothing in return. Bad news.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
i am not wookie, but i will be sharing my nugs and food with anyone that pleases.
Come one come all
karma for that my friend...and for the record ME TOO!
WoW a dude who hasn't logged in since Apr 15, 2004, 7:19pm got his first karma point today... I think that's Wonder if he felt it hit him? A little random pang of goodness while he was waiting on line at the bank or something...
Hehe, my boyfriend is a reformed (uh, mostly....) wookie and doesn't know what a wookie IS, roflmao. I've tried to explain it to him, and he just doesn't understand.
I think wooks they really don't know they are wooks!
He's 6 1/2 feet tall, long hair, frequently sports a beard and has found himself passed out in a hammock at a strangers camp in the morning. He doesn't bum food or anything, actually prefers to hand out free stuff to others, but definitely I think would qualify as a wookie to some people.

gives and doesn't take? Just sounds like a tall hippie at the Roo to me ;D
At Lolla last year, a dirty, dread-locked male was shuffling through my backpack while I was trying to enjoy Pearl Jam. I tried to kick him in the head but he was too quick. Pissed me off!
