Am I the only person who didn't think the force on antelope man was excessive?
Like honestly- being tackled and having your arm twisted a bit isn't the end of the world- that's pretty standard operating procedure.

I have never seen blocked off pits at the Gorge. "Safety concerns". Puh.

They've been doing that at Sasquatch for at least three years.

the pits been there since at least 05 (probably earlier, that's just the first time I went). In 05 they wer pretty lax about it but by at least 06 they had taken control of it a lot better. It used to be that there was no specific exit so everyone was going through the same path in or out, that was a true clusterfuck

questions:

You're a yellow shirt. Who gets hired for the blue shirts?
Who were the people in black roaming the campground?
How many people were arrested this year?
What happens when you get arrested?
What are the penalties with being arrested?
Do 'they' tell you to be really strict with people, or do they hint toward being less aggressive?
Have you personally found people doing drugs?
Do you personally like the music you hear at sasquatch?
Do you ever have any deserters who take off their shirts and party?
How do people in security view the festival goers?
Are you hired locally or through seattle?

LOL JK. The campground is like international waters. Meaning that's where Osama Bin Laden is buried.

FUCK! I totally saw him looking all intense during The Drums and I forgot to take a picture of him.
He seemed to have a bit more Soul Glo in that glorious mullet this year, amirite?

1 Yellow and blue shirts are one and the same but generally you have to be 21 to work BEV. Control which is a blue shirt. and supervisors where blue as well but it just says supervisor
2 I dont know about the people in black the sheriffs where green
3 i dont know the official number of arrests
4 generally when you are arrested you are prosecuted, but being put in handcuffs by security doesnt always mean you are going to be arrested i may just be to subdue a patron.
5 the penalty suits the crime
6 If the patron is cool generally we are cool but there are some who do take their job way to seriously
7 yes i have found people doing drugs and i generally say " put it away and if i see it again im going to take it"
8 some of it yes Skrillex was badass
9 its happened but not very often
10 well i personally view them as a customer
11 our company is based out of portland OR. but we work venues all over washington oregan and idaho i presonally am for eastern washington

and to they guy who thinks im impersonating a security guard. They take our shirts each night and wash them and we are not allowed to keep them they are owned but live nation.

no i have not tazed or arrested anyone...standard security are not allowed to carry a tazer or handcuffs only the sheriffs carry tazers and guns like most law enforcement

Did you hear about Antelope Man in passing with the other yellow shirts? If you did what did you hear.
What was the craziest story you heard/had from a yellow shirt?

I'm so curious about all of this!
