We had a huge canopy and three tents to set up; we got there around 3:00 on Friday and they tried give us the equivalent of a parking space. Room for one tent, max.

So I went up to the LiveNation goon and said, dude. We have three tents and this huge fucking canopy, we need more space. The guy says, the rule is nothing can be between the cars. And I said, the RULE is four people to a camping pass. We're moving our car and setting our shit up.

By Saturday afternoon they seem to have abandoned trying to tell people where to camp entirely. But did anyone else notice that LiveNation were SUPER FUCKING ASSHOLE MONGERS this year? Goddamn. More than usual.

yeah> when we pulled in, our group just confused the shit out of the guy directing everyone in. We just started basically yelling random shit and overwhelmed him until he left, and we ended victorious with our 2 cars in 3 cars worth of space. still pretty cramped though. Its cause they knew it was gonna be way worse than last year.

it definitely was hilarious to see how quickly they dropped their "we'll have your car towed!!" tough-guy attitude when EVERYONE started telling them to fuck off.

We actually had a lot of space and made good friends with the crew behind us so we had twice as much space.
We had a circle of chairs, a big tarpish tent for when it rained, and a grill/table, plus room for all of our tents. Keep in mind that we were in the far corner of overflow though, I guess.

I got to park along the edge of the campground by the fence and we got as much room as we wanted. We got there around 9:00PM Friday night.

Why anyone camps anywhere but wild horse astounds me...I buy a wild horse pass well before I even think about getting tickets. Worst case scenario I sell it on craigslist

Uhh, because the party is in the general campground? And because you have to DRIVE back to your campsite? And because Wild Horse is for old people?

Are you astounded? ASTONISHED!? PERPLEXED!?!?

literally the only reason my group doesn't camp at wildhorse is because of the interesting people we meet while walking around the campground every year, or even just those that come by when we're lounging around on our camp chairs. it seems as though premier camping gets worse every year so we definitely don't stay there for any other reason than what i mentioned.

we would have been fucked for space, but we pulled our cars forward to just behind the honey buckets. we set up where our cars would have been. we were lucky. those junkies telling us where to park weren't reasonable. with our improvisation, it was an awesome time as usual

I enjoyed Premiere, for the little perks of course, but I was missing the party in GA, and spent most my time over there if not at the festival itself.

It did seem as long as you had a big enough crew, you could've fangled extra space, as per usual. Likely have to go back to GA, and bring a sun shower again.

Did anyone try to steal your booby-trapped flag? Second-degree burns?

People tried. People failed. The flag still lives on.

Speaking of stealing flags. I came back after the first day to find my flag gone from the flag pole I made. I half-Dr. Garbanzoured someone would steal it at some point so I honestly didn't let it bother me. Then on the last day when I was pulling the flag pole down off the camper we attached it to, lo and behold...there it was resting on the top of the camper. The wind must half blown it off. Either way...here was my most excellent reaction:

Yeah I had mini flags for the car, and on the first night one went disappearing real quick. After we wondered GA for a while, met Mr. Fox and Bforeman, we came back, and someone had tried to raise it themselves... So we went on a retrieval mission.... Mission accomplished.
