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.

I'm pretty sure he used me as an example to show everyone what could happen. Shitty it had to be me. I was one of the rare people at the festival that actually didn't do any drugs.

Security definitely stopped caring by Monday. We brought in more vodka than we could give away that day and we weren't even trying to hide it in our bags.
"Are those water bottles sealed?"
"Yup!"
"Ok go through"

Was anyone at the gates on Sunday when the security was overwhelmed and thousands of people ran through both gates searched or scanned? It was almost scary.

The cop said he didn't see the weed until I moved it to the ground. Sounds like you got hosed royally. He didn't actually find it on you and it wasn't even yours. Sucks about the legal troubles, but I imagine it will get thrown out in court. |

I saw cops in the campground arresting someone camped a few spots over from me, at 1pmish on Saturday I think. Without trying to be obvious, I watched what I could but had no chance to film it. 5 police officers walked directly into the site, cuffed the guy, searched his car, held up a baggie full of pills (and I doubt they were Advil somehow) and then took him out of the campground. I can only assume the cops had a tip that he was dealing or something - it looked like a pretty targeted thing to me. Never saw actual cops in the campground other than that.
