Cash is good, whatever currency you bring just keep it close to you. Meeting people will not be a problem, you seem outgoing and I’m sure you will fit right in. Have fun and stay safe.

Bring the cards for emergencies, and keep them locked away at all times while at the gathering. ATMs never work, or run out of skrilla all the time. 

If you don’t want to be bothered as much keep your clothes on. Wearing that industrial shit with bright colors and tiny mini skirts means you’ll be hit on constantly, and begged to show anything and everything. Unless you’re into that thing, then by all means. A lot of those girls get roped in to doing shit on the grounds for artists. As long as you aren’t willing to suck some daddy long legs dick for a wrestling pass you’ll be fine. 

You don’t have to whoop. It gets old, and your throat will hurt by the second day. 

Wear earplugs when you sleep if you’d like to stay asleep. The Gathering alarm faggots will sound alarms at 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Which means they will blast music, megaphones, and anything else they can towards you.  

Lock your shit, and put away anything you don’t want stolen before you go to sleep/leave. It’s all family love until you wake up without a cooler, your chair, and other shit from your camp. Befriending everyone that’s camping around you is a good way to make sure other people will guard your stuff. Make sure they know you’re alone and new. 

This should go without saying, but peer pressure is a bitch. Don’t drink/take anything anyone gives you. Besides food or closed drinks of course. Lots of ninjas will hand out hotdogs, hamburgers, and cold water. But I wouldn’t advise taking much else from people. If you want a real FREE breakfast walk around the ballas sites for a little.  

Above all else see everything you possibly can! Don’t bother with autographs unless you camp out at the tent the day before. Artists ride/walk around the grounds at all times of the day and night. They love taking pictures, but anyone that has their own autograph signing will mostly tell you to fuck off if you ask them to sign shit. 

Project born leaves early every year. They’re scummy and skeezy and will steal your shit if you camp next to them, I have personally seen it. But if you want their backstage passes they’ll give you one for a good dick sucking. True story.

for realla?  ive hung out with em a couple times, they seemed all right then.  that shits pretty damn low.  

We kicked it one year right next to each other. But I watched them walk into a FEW campsites at night and jack shit from coolers. And possibly other items but they’re black, and it was night lol. I got confirmation when I asked one of the guys next to us if he told them they could take shit and he said no. He said he was missing alcohol and some food. A couple years later they were near us again and I saw them walking around doing the same shit mad late at night.

Come to find out both years they asked my girl to suck some dick for their passes. She didn’t come back with passes so I can only believe she didn’t do it lol. 

They always leave early so i’d imagine they’re always looking for some ass for a pass.

Anyways that dude was out in the crowd at a louisville show some years back damn near humping a girl that couldn’t have been older than fourteen. Literally right next to me and the chick I was dating at the time

 I’m not looking too forward to sucking some dude Lol

I had a little hope that I had a shot. :(

Most of the events are fun, but go see shit you can’t see at home. You can see half naked girls rolling around with fire, and hula hoops at your local flea market all year round. The best shit happens at night after the mainstage shuts down. Parties are everywhere and nearly all are always welcome. BRING A FLASH LIGHT AND FLASHING LED’s. I always have a few flashing LED’s on my pants at night. Most of the wooded camping areas still has absolutely no light. And if you get lost/taken at least people will be able to see you when you scream. Always have condoms in your pockets, maybe you can talk your would be rapist into practicing safe rape. 

 Are there ever any naked guys just walking around? You never really hear about that!

 

I generally hang out just past Handicap Mountain during main stage events. One year there was a bunch of old biker dudes hangin out by the port a pottys across the way from us. At some point I just happened to look over and there was this 60 some year old dude just chillin with his dick out. That’s the closest I’ve come to encountering naked dudes though.

As far as other stuff, if you’re interested in the ICP or Twiztid seminars, get there early but don’t go into the actual tent area. It’s hot as fuck in there and people will likely be throwing all manner of things about. Off to the side there are some trees you can sit under and enjoy the shade. The seminars aren’t really anything you need to see anyway.

Don’t waste your money buying water from vendors. Most will charge $2-3/bottle while random people walk around with coolers selling it for $1 or less.

You don’t necessarily hafta suck anyone off to get some free stuff. Showing your tits seems to be an acceptable form of currency.

If you wanna buy merch and wear any size other than a medium or 5x, buy it early. But also check back on Saturday or Sunday because they do sometimes get different stuff in over the weekend.

If you’re camping, its worth the extra money for a car pass as its a pretty good walk to anywhere with any potential shade. Not that you’ll be able to sleep past sunrise anyway.

One year I got black out drunk and was naked walking around from what I hear
