Uhh were you at Wild Horse or something, catherine? The late night stages were still going on at 11:30, and once those got over the parties raged until 4-5am in the campground. I remember waking up while the sun was rising and still hearing the call of the bro ("woooooooooo!!!!!!") in the not so far off distance.

Maybe that's why, no one was back at 11:30 yet.

My neighbors were up until 4 every night, and middle aged men repeatedly slamming bottles of white wine is quite possibly the greatest form of nightlife

I remember waking up while the sun was rising and still hearing the call of the bro ("woooooooooo!!!!!!") in the not so far off distance. Wasn't at Wild Horse. I do know it was premiere camping with a bitchin' view. We could see the festival from the site, but our neighbors were deathly quiet every night by 11:30. I didn't get it. In the distance on the last night we heard someone blaring music, so I guess that's where we needed to be.

Aaaaah, you were WAY on the outskirts, that explains it. That music you heard blaring in the distance was everybody else partying till sundown. (not me though, I usually passed out by 1 with a bottle of wine in my hand every night)

i love that being closer to the festival is actually considered 'the outskirts.'

outskirts of the CAMPGROUND, but yes, that is funny.

Probably doesn't help you somewhat have to go around the campground to get IN to the campground

I guess so! We paid extra for premiere camping last year and I only ended up taking the trip to the freezing cold showers once. So much for convenience!
It was nice, though, because the trip into the festival wasn't a very long walk and we had pretty clean honeybuckets.
Got premiere again this year. Guess I'll just have to wander into reg. camping to hang with the greasy crazies when the snooty campers are sleeping. I'll follow my ear to the blaring boombox.

V.I.P. camping is the same as regular camping except it costs more and it's on the other side of a fence. You got chumped, twice.

I dunno, somehow the grass seemed thicker over there when I walked right past the security guy without showing a VIP wristband and proceeded to use their honeybuckets before making a ruckus with some friends, and promptly heading back to the real camping.

"Fail" is paying an additional buttwad of cash to LiveNation for the privilege of sleeping in a 'nicer' cow pasture.

Agreed. And as if Live Nation doesn't make enough dough on their merch and outlandishly priced booze, right?
If there was one thing I could complain about when it comes to Sasquatch, it would be that Live Nation runs the joint.

What I like about premiere camping is that it's an infinitely quicker walk back to the campground and have oodles of more room to set up shop.

yeah the only reason I'd pay for premiere is for the proximity to the venue. And isn't there like a shuttle bus or something too? or is that purely for VIP?

There's a shuttle... I didnt use it until the final night of the festival, however... The first two days I felt the need to walk off the PBR

Question: who gets in to the festival first, when the gates open? Is it people who've bought VIP camping, or VIP parking?
