Well said!!!
The little ones don’t bother me too much. What I worry about with the bigger ones is what happens if they make it on stage? I have a Yonder show somewhere where one of the members (Ben?) tells the audience during a song break that if anyone else throws anything on stage, they (Yonder) would to stop the show and leave because it’s really frightening and dangerous. The marshmallows aren’t that big of a deal. I seam to remember Todd Snider throwing them back at the audience, and Sam commenting on the average sized beach balls last year, but that giant beach ball could have knocked over some expensive musical equipment and caused some damage.
That being said, nothing could detract from my festival experience.
All Festivarians should make a best effort to keep those beach balls away from the taper’s microphones near the SBD booth too! There were a couple close calls this year :eek
We all like to relive the experience when the fest is over so let’s not mess with the mics. Cheers all!
And all large breasted women stay back, far away from my tarp, you make me look bad. :flower And those folks with those flags, stop it, I like getting lost. And you, your the one, with the smile on your face, wipe it off buster and shape up, are you having a good time yet :lol.
Nailed by a marshmallow? dance it off
:ohyeah :hop :dance :hop :dance :hop :dance :hop :dance :hop :dance :ohyeah
of course a 20 minute beach ball beating, broken bones, and everybody telling the injured party to piss off is no laughing matter. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.
I can’t believe all the crappy stories I’m reading. I didn’t see a single person not having fun the entire fest.
Agreed, never saw a sour puss the whole time I was there… I think some of you just go into festival withdrawals in the weeks following, and can’t stop complaining. I’m thinking that next year, you 20 or so should have a VIP festival… with a festival constitution in place prior to attending. :lol Try to focus on the fun you had, and let the little stuff go…
One thing I noticed this year was fewer, if any, of those obnoxious long balloons that, when let go, fly across the audience making that horribly loud buzzing. I HATE THOSE!!! They are the best reason ever for having a safety pin handy!
Thanks! A beach ball hit my microphones during Steve Martin’s encore at Rockygrass last weekend. Luckily it didn’t knock the stand over but it did misalign the microphones and create a loud thud in the recording.
extracurricular activities happen at festivals. It’s a fact
If you don’t want beach balls, marshmallows, pot-smoking, or people generally doing fun things, then don’t attend festivals. If you do attend, be aware and be open to the fact that other people may enjoy the festival in a different way that you. Sorry that someone got hurt.
Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down!
