I know I've been back for like 3 weeks but I still haven't made the thread and I have nothing to do. So this is the story of the best week I have ever had.
So, we started driving from New York at like 4pm and made it Rothbury Michigan at like 5am an passed out. We had some fun along the way, we got window chalk and wrote on my car "ROTHBURY!" and my friend's cell number. A few people that were headed there called us, and one girl wanted phone sex... Some girl randomly flashed us her tits too (unrelated to the phone sex bitch). So we slept in a Walmart parking lot and woke up 8am and drove to the actual festival.
Upon arriving, we got our spot in the field situated, met our neighbors, and smoked a joint. After I finished setting up my tent, some guy comes over and wanted to sell me acid. It was awesome because the kind he had were 'Jerry Faces' which was Jerry Garcia's face like all tripped out with the faded color and him looking at you. I think it sold pretty good because Phil Lesh was playing and I saw around 40,000 Dead Heads

We started walking around once the event area opened, there were some bands playing and whatnot and we just looked around. The way it was set up, right when you come in there was a lake on the right and the 'Tripolee Domes" on the right where there were badass raves every night. Then you can keep going and you can go to the 3 main Venues. The Odeum, The Sherwood, and The Ranch.
Drum Circle where the monkeys come alive at night.

So then we got back to our tents after the initial roundabout, and then bought some mixed drinks. This actually was the only alcohol I paid for the whole time seeing as how I went into town the next day and they sell Liquor in grocery stores. Needless to say I walked out with my pockets stacked full of Jack Daniel's 5ths. The first rave of the festival was in full motion by the time we walked half a mile back and it was a god time. There was Lotus and EOTO, EOTO was fucking awesome. So we basically just danced and shit until 5am.

We also did climb to the top of the domes just for lulz.
http://a261.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/64/l_a872b2e44f9030a6aceac9fa019260d4.jpg
And then the greatest thing ever happened. My friend's gf like wandered off or something and we didn't see her for 20 minutes. So finally my friend goes to look for her and he comes back laughing and brings me over to the fence next to the Tripolee Domes. There were 2 people fucking on the grass, I causally walked up all close and snapped a picture while they both looked up at me. Then we found his gf like 5 minutes later not dead and raped.

Soooo we finally get to sleep, and then we wake up, go get Chinese food, steal like $50 in shit from the Dollar General for lulz and then I steal the Alcohol which I stated above. I basically had two 5ths of JD everyday, it was awesome. We also ate the shrooms we bought the night before. And then we saw The Wailers!

http://a621.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/65/l_60107ded2a6bc41e2bc11556fdcb88bc.jpg
So basically it was the first time I ever took shrooms, standing there in the heat around all the people was too much for me so I went and sat on a grassy hill. I closed my eyes and saw all the crazy shit shit. Like the back of my head, my blood pumping, all that crazy shit you see when you press on your eyes when you close them. And when I kind of opened my eyes the color of the grass and the blue sky would like swirl and shit, it was crazy. I also looked at the clouds (which to me were spiraling around the Odeum) and there were like rays of light coming at me and shit and they were forming shapes and angles. I don't fucking know.
http://a513.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/7/l_2cc22528b4a24628aa5b5650e4f24228.jpg
So then I came down off the shrooms and my friends joined me on the hill next to the stage. I figured out how to sit Full Lotus position and it was awesome. So before the next act came on, there was like a full half hour of girls showing their tits when the camera put them on the huge screen. It was pretty awesome until there were some like 350lb bitches (against the laws of physics) ontop of someone's shoulders and they pulled up their shirt... it was fucking horrible and the whole crown was all like "Boo!".

So then the next act came on... and it was fucking Snoop Dogg. Shit was crazy. First thing when he started rapping was pass around a blunt on stage. And then another song he started drinking vodka and orange juice, and on another song he started passing around a blunt AND drinking vodka and orange juice. He played all the good songs like 'Drop It Like It's Hot' 'What's My Name' 'Sensual Seduction' etc. etc. It was the best 4th of July celebration ever.

So then we went back to our tent, got alcohol, came back, saw 311, and then Modest Mouse, went to the rave and then went back to sleep eventually. Float On is like my favorite song once again.

http://a770.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/104/l_58e0b894c30d8947c52fd39e82866f61.jpg
So the next day we drove to Whitehall, got more alcohol, and we went into a hotel at 11am when they were cleaning rooms. We skiddishly walked around and waited for an opportunity and then went into a room and all took showers. So that is basically how we cleaned ourselves the whole time. One day we actually couldn't get into one so we found a hose in Whitehall... Although I did go to the Bar in the Ramada and stole a huge full bottle of Absolut.
http://a982.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/50/l_81141c486f8a3c15f2c9f0d3c61d6235.jpg

Then we saw Slightly Stoopid which was even better. They played Territorial Pissings by Nirvana for some reason so I pushed my friend and started like the only mosh pit at the whole festival, except for Primus.

So then we made our way back over to The Odeum and saw Dave. We even broke open a new 5th just for him. It was sweet because they were playing Sublime (self titled album) before they came out. I also started the chant 'Dave Dave Dave Dave' and then he came on stage, it was awesome. Really the only song I like from him is Trippin Billys, which he played.
