Tested MANY bunk samples of blotter. Good thing I brought my own!!! Had a ball, wish we'd met up!

 

god damnit that is epic

 

Bonnaroo is a BYOBlotter festival sadly.

 

Nice man. I wanted to go so bad, but money ended up being a problem since I'm moving out soon. Anyway, I've seen moe and animal collective before.... both really fucking awesome. Glad you had fun!

 

i guess maybe i was lucky then. i was able to get my hands on some pretty good lsd. me and my friends ran through like 30-50 hits that were all pretty good. one of the tenstrips was shitty though and another was just mediocre. the rest was great. i bought from people with vials alot. i had lsd dropped on my tongue straight out of a vial for the first time, lol.

but none of it even came close to comparing to the three hits that i brought from home

we did have trouble finding molly though. all we could find for the rave night were some mediocre rolls. it wasn't until the next day that someone came around with a few grams of pure molly!

too bad we didn't meet up man. where was your campsite? we were in camp pauly right outside the centeroo entrance! we were so lucky! we could see the what stage from the tops of our cars and heard live music from our tents almost 24/7.

 

thats sick. i got so excited when i read that lol

 

you people and your acid hookups
I wish I could have been there
but I'm glad you guys had fun

 

I was lucky to find very good white on white fluff.I was told it was 125 mics and beleive it.First night ate 1.5 and was perfect.The second night i did four and it was way too much!!! I didn't even make it to the phish set.I was melted,lol. hardest i ever tripped.Took four hours to find our tent.

 

yea i ate two hits of some very potent blotter the third night for moe, MGMT, and nine inch nails. i have never tripped that hard in my life. my reality completely dissembled. i was tripping for about 40 hours off those 2 hits, not to mention i had been tripping for like 60 hours prior to this trip as well.

 

I had my concept of acid redefined by this festival. More so than usual.

 

I got some white on white w/ pencil lines dividing up the strip that were weak and some perforated blotter that was bunk, so this year sucked for me and my friends, acid wise anyway. The last 2 years i got much better stuff then this year...

 

this thread makes me happy and I'm not even a festival kind of guy

 

You sure that was acid?

 

You sure he knew time accurately?

 

absolutely certain. the hits were alot smaller than anything i had gotten in a while and from a very trsutworthy source. not to mention i was coming up after 5 minutes. i have done acid enough times now to be able to distinguish the feeling. there was just alot of acid on them. they had been talked up alot, and well i guess that the hits far exceeded that talking-up

 

I found nothin but fake cid at the roo this year.
Plenty of K, and came across some DOC this year as well.

 

i don't understand how you guys didn't find any cid lol. there was so much cid around where i was at that i was pretty much talking people into giving it to me for like 5 bucks or less a hit. the last day at phish there was a group of guys sitting next to us with a whole bag of acid candies and i had to have met atleast ten people with whole sheets for sale.

 

A friend of mine went but she had the same troubles finding acid. She apparently got some contaminated shrooms too. She said the second batch they found had white fuzz on them, but they all tripped really hard. That whole group is pretty irresponsible, but they lived, despite my friend passing out from heat exhaustion at the very front of MGMT while tripping. Too bad though, I was counting on her to bring me back some acid (as it is pretty much unheard of in our hometown).

On a side-note, I'm glad I stayed behind as I either hate most of the bands that were their or just find them boooooooooring (esp. Phish).

 

the bands this year were great. i'm not a huge phish fan but i still saw an insane amount of other bands that were incredible. imo you should be open to bands. there were a massive amount of bands there that i had never heard of before that were all incredible.

mushrooms were a little harder to find but we still got some. we turned down quite a few people until eventually these guys came by selling shrooms that could read my mind, so we bought shrooms from them

man tbh that sucks that your friends were at the front of mgmt. mgmt was pretty awful except for their good songs. i stayed at that set for about 30 minutes and then left. i didn't even realise mgmt had even come on yet they were so bad. i was tripping hard which i guess made me think they were just a filler band coming on before the main show. either way, i didn't realise that it was actually mgmt up on stage until after we had left the set and i said to my friends 'what the fuck happened to mgmt?' nine inch nails and moe were both a million times better.
