Yeah, you were safe...

You were rolling around in human waste all day......

But, it seems, you were safe.

Personally, I would have gone straight home and poured 20 gallons of bleach on myself, had I been rolling in that SHIT......

ive been going to zilker park for almost two decades, im still alive...

this is the worst ive ever seen it though. and it smelled horrible. i actually rubbed some OFF! under my nose, that might kill me. i was thinking about telling the crowd around me waiting for pj exactly what was in the mud just to see how many of them would leave allowing me to move up even closer. lol.

But "The Great Lawn" is only a month or so old....right????

That WAS all new grass....right????

Forget the last 2 decades......The fact is 70,000 people were standing, sitting, and rolling around in fucking human waste, over the weekend.....

And I am sorry.....They can tell me it was "treated" and they can tell me it was "safe".....

ITS STILL SHIT!!!!!!

TheLostSoul

I never thought we'd agree on something, Speedy! Glad this day came

TheLostSoul

but you are right, its still shit. its why i hosed myself down outside the house before going in, took long ass hot showers sat and sun night, and tossed my sneakers in the trash.

TheLostSoul

for instance, the dust bowl that was acl festival 2005, we were all snorting shit!

Exactly....there are all those sick gardeners across the country who mistakenly used composted amimal feces in their gardens! Like me... And I even eat the produce grown there! hehe

Uh yeah, so I bought a pair of weather boots at Academy for $20 and wore them all day, didn't roll around in ANYTHING, watched people walking barefoot in it and going into the porta-potties barefoot... I guess some people don't care! Many, many abandoned flip-flops in the goo. Cracked me up.

I left the boots in the hotel room... The worst I suffered was muddy bottom of jeans, which went into a plastic bag and home to the hot water wash!

It's all about planning...

~peace~

I didn't go to ACL, but I did attend Roo last year and that is one thing that I noticed that they really did well on- keep up with the port-a-potties and the trash. In the morning- everything was pretty much clean
