WAKARUSA Memories

Non-Phish Shows/Meetups
#263

All I can say is that I saw one cop once at 10KLf…and he saw us smoking and he waved and smiled, and that’s all anyone, cop or no should do…

this just sounds like a fightening time…to think I was going to go to Waka, and, with my luck, probably get busted.

I’m definately heading back to 10KLF next year…just next time, I’ll go through Minnesota instead of ND…I’m willing to backtrack for a couple of hours in order to not get harassed and insulted at the border for 3 hours…

Anyway…it really sounds like Waka’s in trouble…my solution…move it to Canada…we need a goddamn music festival already, and if someone doesn’t get off their ass and do something soon, I may have to take matters into my own hands. Now…how do I organize a festival?

#264

dude there are tons of music festivals in Canada, you just gotta know where to find em. there was one the weekend before i left called Shamabala right near Nelson.

#265

^ I know there is, but no one you REALLY wanna see ever plays at any of them…There is a good bluegrass festival in Edmonton that Del McCoury headlines almost every year…but there is never any good “jam rock” festivals, if you take my meaning. Just one good one with a couple of big hitters is all I’m askin for…

#266

Once when I was in Canada we went to some festival/concert near Sardinia (I think that was the city).

Tragically Hip, Foo Fighters, and a few other bands. It was fun rockin’ with my neighbors to the North!

#267

IT’S HERE! This show was fantastic. Especially since before the show Thom and myself were gettin’ down to ‘The Squirming Coil’ studio version… ;D

^ dude, that was one sick set!!! And a hell of an awesome time!! soul shakedown party!!!

#269

say it ain’t so FunkyB!!!

i find that hard to believe…kansas doesn’t have much to offer as far as scenery, IMO. but then again, i love minnesota…so i may be biased. ;D

#270

i liked how all the camping was in pretty much one place at Waka and the lake was easy to find. but i also might have a biased because of trouble on the way to 10klf, whereas going into Wakarusa i got to arrive with a fun band of dudes and no worries.

#271

ouch marianne…ouch

#272

dude, it was the band Groovatron!

waka was the shiz-nizzle-dizzle-4-rizzle.

got that?

the fact that it’s in trouble displeases thom…and when thom gets mad he talks about himself in 3rd person…balee dat.

wakarusa = best time thom had in the summer of '06…hetty vibes and like…hetty crystals…and there were nuggets too…real ones…with like…red hairs…lots of red hairs…and then…then…then they dosed thom…or thom dosed himself…or…

man waka seems like yesterday…

sigh.

#275

I had a blast! I was totally oblivious to the police shit. And the scenery was fvcking wicked. I even went back to Clinton State Park last month to camp with the fam…it looks like a totally different place without the festival. It’s rolling hills and trees are beautiful. Green fields, wickedly clear lake, tons of deer, good fishing, cool park rangers, mellow vibes. I will definately go back next year, if Waka still exists. Best time of the summer!

WesManTooth will be there as well…

#276

ah Waka Waka, did i mention that tthis is my favorite thread?

#277

Vern… you took your son? And smoked with him?

that’s crazy to me, dunno if it’s good or bad.

deserves its own thread.

#278

Pretty cool if you ask me.

No coincidence teh kid ate everything in sight.

#279

Vern’s son is like 16, and sometimes he didn’t let him smoke.

#280

LOL I don’t remember that…when did he not let him smoke?

#281

I don’t remember, but I remember when he told us to skip him in the rotation, something like that…that whole weeekend was a little hazy

#282

hahaha… ok pass the bowl… but not to my son… just skip him

ahhh weeed
