Problems with the community fire

That's it, we can take bag pipes and a few people with those annoying hand mic's and first blast out their music with the lovely tunes of the pipes, and then have someone stand on a soap box with their hand mic and start telling them they're going to hell unless they repent!!!  So much fun!  BTW, I'm a very solid every sunday church goin' gal, but those soap box damnation corner preacher give the loving christians a bad name!!

Gotta make sure the pipers are blasting out Amazing Grace, for that extra bit of oomph!!!

Just make sure it's not the head banger version, with pipes and metal guitar!!!! You'd never get rid of 'em...

BrigaQueen~ not sure if you know Dallas, but it was actually her sister. She had been hanging out with us all night :-) and making smores!

Then I went to bed and that's when the trouble started. Not only her being hurt but one of the unwanteds falling asleep and waking up to find himself with a new persona as a dirt fairy! Luckily I did get to see a glimpse of him trying to get the last of the permanent marker off his face in the morning. Although it sounds as they may have gone a little far with this one I still think it's hilarious!

I think it was 2 years ago, in Valhalla or Brigadoon, some dunk Kid came in to camp and plopped down in one of the chairs and passed smooth out. They wrapped him in silly string and TP and dumped trash on him. I wonder what he thought when he woke up.

Camped with some friends this past weekend and i tell ya what the police were in full force. Spoke with one of the officers and they said ravers will not be tolerated. We walked to the drum circle saturday night and they were busting kids left and right for underage drinking and drugs. Soon after we left they shut the drum circle down for the lingering smell of drugs. and cops were in patrol all night long. PLUS they added signs stating "Nighttime Camping security call this number 8324825651" It did help i didnt hear the loud annoying noise of techno thumping music like first weekend. Im thinking the rift raft maybe finally seeing this isnt for them.

Well I haven't partaken in any of the "dirt fairy" shenanigans...Im usually asleep by then, but either hear about it or actually see the aftermath in the morning. The "rule" is...if you make it to your tent/bed, you're safe...if you pass out in a chair or ground....well....you can get tied to the chair, made up with ladies makeup, nails painted, glittered, shrink wrapped to the chair, etc. I wasn't aware that Sat. nights "dead guy" was drawn on with permanent marker. Must have been a scrub fest trying to get all that off his face. From the pictures i saw, it looked like he was "insane clown posse-ed".

One year we did make tin foil bunny ears for some guy lying in the dirt (I was a part of that one)....then there was another guy in the back of a truck with beer cans balanced on his head and a massive amount of fairy glitter in his hair. Then our friend Kelly's plan backfired on her when she herself passed out on the ground, and was promptly silly stringed with her own cans!! I think they also tried putting a pumpkin on her head.

Hey wait a minute, I was told that if you have your shoes off, it shows an intent to sleep in the chair, therefore you are safe from being dirt faerie'd.

OH MY GOSH!!!  I had no idea people still played high school pranks, but I absolutely love it!  Thankfully if I get wasted I have others with me to guide me back to my bed, but I seriously would love to get in on some dirt fairying of others at some point.... hehe.... I have a few very "interesting" ideas.... hehe

The rules are as follows;

If you are in your own camp, you are safe regardless of whether you are in your tent or not as you safe within the confines of your camp.  If you are in someone elses camp, and have removed your shoes, you are safe as removal of shoes indicates an intent to "camp" there for the night. HOWEVER, if you are in someone elses camp and you pass out and your shoes are still upon your feet, you are fair game because you have not made the visual indicator (shoe removal) of an intent to camp there.  Stating "I'm gonna Crash here", does NOT count as an indicator of intent to camp.  Please observe and follow the rules. Thank you.

hhhmmmm.....what was it that I posted earlier??? oh yes....

I really wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a huge bust sooner or later.  That would remedy the problem for a while at least.

Obviously folks have let it be known to the authorities of the problems with drugs and minors drinking and I say kudos to the police for handling the issues.  I am sure word has spread like wildfire that the 'party is over' or soon will be.  I am glad that no has had to take it upon themselves to curb the ravers/kids enthusiasm in a forceful way and everyone has stayed relatively safe.
