"I think the point is that there was a hard search on the way in and certain things were not let in or permitted. This is not your typical free for all phish fest. I agree that cheese should be served with the wine, but I wonder how this fest compares to other NE fests."

Clearly the best post.......

The point in the past was to get a united experience through the band and all the people who traveled there with you, and have some certainty that you wouldn't get searched, hassled, and hounded as little as possible and hounded the duration of the event to make a safer comfortable experience. This even sounds almost totally the opposite.

Mr.Miner it sort of sounds like they are camping where people are being told not to party.....in that case I would complain about things too. If they paid the money to get in they deserve a say if their grown up or not.
