Some little lady in a live nation uniform saw me leaning on my boyfriend while sitting in the grass outside of Washed Out and said "I'm just going to ask you once to put it away." Woman, I don't even smoke pot. She didn't believe me. She thought my bag of Kombu (dried seaweed) that I was eating was weed. The only person 100% sober while people were rolling around like animals in the grass around me and she decides to ask me about my imaginary drugs. A+ I can't imagine sitting under the blazing sun at the Gorge and nibbling on kombu...

On monday I was smoking weed out of my pipe and a security guard came and took it away. My friend snuck some vodka in the festival in a partly crushed plastic water bottle. He was watching jail and it was in his back pocket. He wasn't drinking it or any thing and it looked totally like water. A beverage enforcement person came up and asked him what it was. He said water and then they grabbed it and made him leave the festival for the rest of the day. It was total bullshit. Only because it was it little crushed did they have any idea that it wasn't water. I could have gotten him back in, but he was to afraid, because the sherif said if anyone saw him again he would be fined a few thousand dollars for trespassing.

I think it is always going to be harder when you look young. I look like I am well past drinking age so I never get hassled.

yeah I can't imagine eating seaweed at sasquatch either- but while there I live off a diet of chicken strips while at teh venue, and bagels with cream cheese at the campsite. And tons of High Life.

The security lady in the front felt my friends pipe in his sweater when she was handing it back to him and asked what it was. When he didn't reply she just gave him the sweater and said, "just take it and go".
Although when I was walking down the line I got stopped for my bottle of Emergen-C and when the woman smelled it she said, "this is alcohol". I told her it wasn't and that it was just vitamin C and she said, "really?" and just handed it back. Weird but whatever.
They were pretty nice to me whenever i went through. It probably helps that I look super young and innocent.

The lady checking my bag on Monday took one look at my giant inflatable shark, laughed, and cleared me through. I would like to hug that lady for being so cool.

We came through with unicorn horns and several canisters of glowsticks and the lady just commented that it looked like we were going to have fun.

Maybe that's what happened... Or I teleported. I think that's more likely

Dude, they confiscated my LED hula hoop and my bubbles! If they had gotten my vodka too I would have been pissed off, but as it was I was just pissed.

They tried to take our friends' LED hoops too. They said fuck that and took 'em back to camp. That was on Friday. Fortunately (I suppose) our friend Blair was on crutches. Which meant he was escorted past security and into the venue on a golf cart every day. With a big stack of blankets hiding hoops, drugs and what-have-you.
I think it is fucking stupid that they won't let you bring hula hoops into a festival.

On Monday they felt my closed bag once and sent me on through. Yeah on Monday I guess they decided they didn't give a shit anymore. The previous 2 days had us waiting in line for 30-40 minutes so it was nice just to walk on in.

Ya, I would really like to know what the hell was going on for her to get arrested for weed in Washington, and at The Gorge no less. Man, I have been caught countless times with weed at The Gorge and not a damn thing happened.

I was just sitting at my camp ground in a about 5 other people drinking my second beer of the day and the cops walked through our camp ground. We were pretty far away too, up top by the cows. The cop said he didn't see the weed until I moved it to the ground.

Wow, I have never seen an actual cop walking around inside the campgrounds where people were camped. I see the yellow shirts all day long and even offer them beers, but never cops.
