gone phishing. . ..
What an incredible week!!
maybe i should give up showering and become a hippy. the whole sixties free love and peace on earth culture is still alive. omg is it alive.
aaron and i left on tuesday morning for noblesville. the drive sucked cause indiana is nothing but cows and cornfields. plus you can only drive 65mph through it-grrr!! but we listened to a few trillion cds and ate our last supper-taco bell chalupas!
and then we had to find the "hidden" campground. i guess all of the dead heads just camp out on these farms...actually people's residences, but the mow the field behind for us. and we went to green acres cause it is hidden (AKA: the cops cannot come in and bust/see the random drinking and drugs going on there). we managed to get a wooded spot cause we were a day early. thank god....the sun was brutal. we played some frisbee and drank some beer. another thing- the only grocery store is walmart, and it was so random to see all of the dirty dreadlocked hippies in walmart...buying sierra nevada pale ale(all hippies drink, that or newcastle).
and then we got some firewood. we thought it might be easy to get a fire going, but we were v. wrong. we didn't have lighter fluid the first night, so nothing would get and stay lit. the second night, we had all of the trimmings, but we just got smoked out. no hardcore flames though. but it was warm, thank god. its fucking cold at night. like 80 during the day and low fifties at night. dear god i froze!!
but aaron and i had sufficient alke buzzes going on when we decided to try the nitrous balloons. everyone there called them "hippie crack" cause thats all they do. i swear, the first noise you hear in the morning is the air tank, and it is also the last thing you hear before going to sleep at night. amazing. and they charge $5 a big ass balloon. you breathe it in and blow it back in the balloon and do it a few times until you take a breath of air and the world goes "wahahahahahahwowow". nice high. i have no idea how many brain cells i killed, but i did four balloons in four days. the feeling was nice, but by the time i finished balloon number one, after all of that beer, i was in lala land.the high usually goes away in five minutes, but mine didnt' go away. and it began to bother me, so i laid down cause the world was spinning. aaron laid with me, and i was almost crying. just a big mess. so he held me and i slept. then around 4 am his buddy jesse rolled in. we put up his tent (I put up his tent- lousy boy scout he is) and got some more balloons and more to drink. i avoided the balloons, but kept the red bull and vodka flowing. finally we all decided to call it a night. the next morning we got up and went to walmart for more beer and lighter fluid. and groceries for jesse. the rest of the day consisted of smoking pot, throwing the frisbee, drinking beer, eating aaron's gourmet grill cheese (so sick of that thank you...), doing nitrous, arguing over which porta potty smelled the worst, swatting the endless supply of cadillac-sized-mosquitoes, and looking for sid. i just learned that sid is acid. like the kind you trip on. duh. wow am i so nieve here. but anyway, we only found boomers (shrooms- didn't know that either). then ryan and brian and brians gf andrea rolled in about an hour before show number one. so we all headed to the show after doing some more nitrous.
i have never been amazed by such an amassed collection of vendors in my life. you have to walk down this narrow aisleway to get in to the amphitheatre. all sorts of vendors selling all sorts of interesting things are set up along the sides. you can get anything from a mama top, to a pale ale, to a vegan wrap to these things called ganja gooballs that are made from weed and all sorts of sweet sugary stuff. yum!!!(had one of those). this is called "running the gauntlet"- crossing all of the vendors...i wanted more time,but andrea was making sour faces so we hurried up and got into the place. the others had pavilion seats, but aaron and i had lawn seats, so we went our separate ways. the security was almost a joke they let me and my opened water in(i swear it really was water) and aaron in went a disposable camera and his eyedrops (could be "sid"!!!!!!)and of course, glowsticks. anyway, before we went our separate ways, ryan, brian, jesse and i all took shrooms. i guess they take an hour to work? aaron couldn't cause he has a drug test in less than a month.
anyway, they played bouncing round the room second, and by that time i was feeeling it. i had the bottle of water half empty in my hand cause the vibrations were soooo good i could feel them down to my toes. woooonnnnndddeeerrrrffffullllll!!! i was in the enlightened state for almost all of the show- intermission rolled around and aaron lit his glowsticks and spun them around for me....pretty. i was super amused i guess. then we started checking out the huge number of hairy armpits and dreads. such a collection!! and i was certainly standing out in my cotton tank top and jean skirt. everybody else had on handmade flowly dresses and skirts or rastaman pants. all nice people though. i shared my water with some girls and they gave me the green hit of their bowl. nice like that. second half had some awesome jams....slave to the traffic light was exceptional, but no you enjoy myself :(. the first song played was halley's comet and everyone threw their glow stikcs and it really did looked like comets in the sky. when one landed by you, you just picked it up and threw it back into the crowd...nice trip by then. no visuals, but nice!!! by the time they did waste for an encore, i was back down to earth, super in love with aaron (couldn't keep our hands off of each other), and starving to death. i wanted one thing- veggie lo mein. i saw it when we ran the gauntlet. but andrea had to leave "right now" and brian is a pushover, and he drove, so that was too bad for us.aaron and i just shut up and watched the beautiful fireworks as we made our way through the traffic jam. at one point traffic completely stopped for an "escort" this meant the band, we watched as their tour busses and limos drove out right in front of us. ahhhh, a brush with fame. technically we were only eight feet from the band, except it was through car and bus walls. oh well. v. cool in deed.
we got back, did some nitrous, and braved the porta potties before making a feeble attempt at a fire. as i said before, it only smoked us out, but kept us warm. i have such a crafty boyfriend. ;) then i drank one beer cause i thought i was done with the shrooms, but i was wrong..i nearly fell off of my chair halfway through. majorly fucked up, let me tell you. aaron made me some grill cheese cause he said i looked lost!!oops! then i did more nitrous and passed out in our sleeping bags. good thing i had him to keep me warm or it would've gotten ugly.....and certainly cold out!! the next day we went to walmart again (more beer, or in my case, boone's farm!!) and all of the guys took shits. the first time i have ever seen a line for a guys bathroom and open stalls in the girls!!
then we tossed the frisbee and braved the showers. er, well, if you want to call those showers!! jenke stalls outside on gravel with a shower head attached to a pipe that came from a plastic tank of water that was from god knows where!! it was cold too!! so i just sort of rinsed off- didn't want to smell like all of our new dirty hippie friends!! aaron brought his bath pouf and everything, but that is just how he is i guess!!
we made it to the show and made time for food before. right before we left, jesse bought some sid from this shadeball who was leaving camp. i decided to take a hit. don't know why, but i did. shrooms were just too good i guess. . unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it i guess; it was bunk and nothing happend. poor jesse got screwed though. shady camp bastard!! so i enjoyed the show stone sober. cannot say the same for aaron. he was wasted. too much newcastle and sierra nevada for him!! but hes cute like that. the show was great. words don't exist to describe the last phish show i will ever see. it was amazing, and that isn't even close!!
my fingers are starting to hurt, so look for more tomorrow- i still have a night and morning of phish camp, my cousin's graduation, and my possible last weekend with aaron to talk about. plus my lack of motivation to do my homework.....better get on that i guess....
