re: This Saturday at Jazzfest was the worst festival experience of my life

I had a great time but I was outside of the gates drinking bloody marys 3 hours before they opened. Claimed a good spot with our tarp and chairs when they did open. There are places out there to setup camp that almost always give you an opportunity to escape out to the track and navigate around.

It was the most crowded I have ever seen it but if you've been going to Jazz Fest over the last few years you learn how to adapt and prepare for it.

I know people like to have fun but I don't understand the people that drink beer all day at something like that knowing they will have to fight ridiculously long lines later when they're about to piss all over themselves. I like to drink and have just as much fun as anybody but it just isn't worth it to me under those conditions.
