O HELL YES BABY I've been waiting all my life to be asked that question when is it?


Aug 27-Sept 3





Eh, I'll be back at college by then. I can't really afford to take any time off. Have to make my push for grad school.

Ever major concert that I've been to, I've seen drug use. Went to see Celtic Frost and Type O Negative (the first being black metal and the second being gothic metal) and this guy standing next to me light up a 'hand rolled cigarette' and said "Is this the Phish concert?" It was really bad when I went to go see Tool, though. A majority of the people around me missed out on the best part of the show because they were slumped over in their seats.

OH *Man* I went to see Type O in Baltimore. IMO, the Celtic Frost kids were utterly nuts. But Type O Negative? Let's be serious here. Peter Steele said, and I quote "Do you all REALLY believe I'm not on drugs right now?". The guy drank a whole bottle of Sutter Home on stage.

All serious though, I didn't see any drug use at the Type O concert, although I did smell pot at some point. AND I've been to 5 Tool concerts(I have a picture from front row to prove it!), and yes, there were people doing drugs there. But I swear, the most drugs I've ever seen done at a concert? Guns and Roses at the Garden in November.

That being a small aside because Boss mentioned some amazing bands that I love, I'm sure there will be some drug use at Burning Man. But personally, the closest I've ever come to drug use is taking a ritalin and it didn't even have anything to do with getting 'high'. It's not a drug use thing at Burning Man. It's really about art. Yea, some artist/hippie types do drugs, but *shrug*. That's not why I want to go.

me neither. i attend outdoor music/art festivals a couple times each summer, and we always laugh at the "e-tards" and whoever else looks like they are a bit out there. but the coolest people you meet are usually the sober ones. some people dont seem to see this and the people there for the wong resons ruin it for us all.

I just got back from Bonnaroo.. It was a blast.. It's the biggest music festival near Ohio. Bigger than lollapalooza, and I'm going to that too. Tool played at bonnaroo right after a shipment of mushrooms came in.. They were so incredibly loud and bassy.. I've never seen so many people puking and crying in my entire life.. I was lucky enough to be within 15 or 20 rows.. And there were 80,000 people there.

Music Festivals rock, I plan on attending burning man in the next few years.. I just can't make it this year.

I actually brought a few hookahs along with some of my midrange tobacco and rented them out to be smoked in my tent.. I made enough to pay for anything I really needed down there..Idea for you guys tongue.gif

I hope that Peter isn't doing the blow again. I don't want to have to explain to my children why my favorite muscian is dead. Besides, how good of a muscian can a person be if they're doing cocaine? As for the wine... As for the wine, I'm not going to hold it against a 6'8" man for drinking a bottle of wine... I wish i could pull that off sad.gif

HOLY COW!

I agree about the whole seeing tool thing. I had never seen or smelled so much of that crap! I swear, I was mad as hell. I understand why people do it, but we're in an enclosed building, be thoughtful of the people around you that DONT want to be around that crap. If there is no smoking allowed in the building, WHY would you light that? I also had a cop sitting at the top of my section, and he just sat there and watched and didn't do anything !! My whole section was lit, and I ended up getting sick as a dog, because I'm either allergic to it, or it or what.

As for type o-.... I love that band, i'd love to seem them. Of course Peter Steele is back on the white, no i dont really know, but I hope he's not. That dude is HUGE, i'm sure he can kill more than one bottle of cheap wino wine....... lol... Wish i could see them live.

I am brand new to this forum but when I saw this I needed to respond.

I have gone to Burning Man for the last 2 years and will also attend this year. (The Green Man)

We could possibly meet up for a hookah sesh with some of your friends and some of mine. Of course I will be bringing my hookah, coals, and tobacco so I wouldn't be mooching off of you that is for sure. That would be sweet!

Well, when I saw them, he had to be high on *something*. Hopefully, he's not on coke or heroin, but it wouldn't terribly surprise me. I told people "I have to go to Baltimore to see them, because it wouldn't surprise me if Peter Steele just falls over dead". I've been a fan of Type O ever since I heard Blood & Fire on the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. October Rust is easily one of the greatest albums of all time. Well, here's to hoping he has a long life, or at the least that he doesn't have to go back to Riker's Island

Awesome! I know that one of the things I want to do is spread the Word of the Hookah! Where are you coming from?

I am coming from the bay area. A few hours south of San Fransico. Solid 7 hour drive but it is very fun on the final stretch when you first see the city.


I was considering renting a vehicle out of SF. Are you traveling with others?
