Northern Nights Festival Druging patrons

Forums:

Northern nights music festival in Humboldt county is using ketamine on patrons who loose their shit on Mdma and psychedelics . I witnessed it first hand security tackles the person holds them down with 5 people then medical shoots them up and fire straps them down and halls them out. This is an event put on by bay area promoters. i also witnessed security pummel a guy a little drunk who would not follow directions.  Then they did the same thing to the wife after she protested ,Most fucked up thing i have seen at an event in years. I know all this first hand. Some Old school reggae staff put this on that is how I attended

Just another summer night down at the county line

we have collectively lost our shit

(and BTW - drugs are bad)

Is that all included in VIP package?

Sounds like that old school reggae staff is a little loose on the cannon.

This is an EDM/weed fest, right? I thought some kid & his "company" created & promotes this event. Either way, it's funny that's how they're handling medical & security issues.

EDM events have traditionally been very difficult to put on, LOTS of zaniness on many levels. It's been a few years since I've been around that scene, but in my experience Insomniac was by far the best organized, the best prepared and operating with the best intentions at presenting EDM events.

Maybe some lessons are still to be learned by that old school reggae staff & youngsters thinking they know how to put on events.

thanks for your kindness last week heathen - it was a trip- early mtv "rock"  - lots of folks new all of the lyrics!!!

I was out working all day. Old School Reggae was doing electrical, nothing to do with event production, All Rich Bay Area Kids to this 65-year-old that are without a clue. Is this the new world order? The fest production is some guy named peter with other kids from Petaluma and the property owner

rookies

 

If anyone wants to post this anywhere else, feel free. I would, but I'm not on the social media other than this black board

rhbb folks would have a field day with this one

>>>Is this the new world order<<<

Today's youth sure seem clueless, but In all fairness I'd say that 45 years ago most 65-year-olds were likely saying the same thing about us.

And 45 years before that it was probably more or less the same again.

And on & on.

That's where those who lead the youth (or put on large youth-oriented events) need to do it the right way.

Not slam them down and drug them.

Unless they're into that sort of thing.

And you're welcome lltd. It was a trip running into you that way. It was good to see you and I was happy to help.

That was my first time back working in a long time, and for a number of reasons will almost certainly be my last. 

Besides being an elder who is very unimpressed with the youth running things these days (see how I did that?) I also had quite the experience after the show that was IMO a very clear sign that after 37 years it's time to hang up the cleats.

Good thing I have health insurance.

Lance, that doesn't sound good. Are you okay?

I'm sorry your days of working shows is over, you are/were outstanding!

I'm pretty sure that's, uh, a crime?

lance - you should NOT hang up your cleats - switch to tennis shoes if you must

we need calm wisdom and a smile - so do you...

much of The staff seems ill equipped =- that was my 5th shoreline show this year - that lawn season pass is working out pretty well

 ( even if i don't stay on the lawn - shocking I know)  hethen,  tell me later what happened after the show - march on - as long as you don't have to work for trump...

 

Stevie nicks was freaking awesome,  dead & co twice was a mixed bag for me - it is fun to see happy people, but......, Carlos Santana is Carlos - 54 years after frost for me -, and then mtv rock - (by leaving after the show started it took me all of 10 minutes from my house till i had parked very close to the entrance

>>>>>Not slam them down and drug them.     Unless they're into that sort of thing.     And you're welcome lltd. It was a trip running into you that way

 

Lol.

Was lltd the slammer or the slammee? 

smiley

been a day since a good 'ol junk ball meth fest thread...

This brings a whole new meaning to the term K-hole.

<< slam them down and drug them. Unless they're into that sort of thing

I believe a great many are actually. Lots of scary fucked shit floating around the minds of today's youth. 

I blame their music.

How did you witness firsthand that they were using ketamine?
I prolly would have grabbed a vid of that...

In the old days they just shot you up with nasty anti-psychotics like Haldol.  Ketamine sounds like an upgrade.
