Is there any policy on backpacks or bottled water?

shot on the spot

Good question. i suspect there wil be some flexibility, but imagine a packed show and having a backpack. Not too fun. Also, most clubs will have free water coolers and will also be selling it bottled for less-than-disney prices.

Var, what about monstrous erections in clubs? Is there a policy?

Imagine a packed club if everyone had a hard one. And then imagine, hypothetically, if someone released a live chicken in the mosh pit and all of a sudden dudes starting jumping out of the way and the next thing you know there are hambones and manpoles rubbing all over you. And then you try and escape but some David Hasselhoff-lookin' dude behind you and his engorged dong are in between you and the exit. So you duck right as he whips it out and his manbags hit you in the eye. Then you are half blind and you knock over one of Stressface's pyrotechnic flashpots and then the club catches on fire. Then none of the dudes can fit through the door with their big fat boners...and the next thing you know it's like a Great White reunion at the Fest.

I just want to make sure you have really thought this through.

i'd pay to see that.

yeah, but it is Fest and nobody there will look like Night Rider.
Ever been before? While it's all boderline homo-erotic with a bunch of fat naked sweaty bastards having the time of their life, I doubt any of 'em are really turned on.
I'm sure we'll all have whiskey dick anyway, so no worries

It is probably up to each individual club- which, in Gainesville, really means each individual bouncer....

They're usually pretty low-key about stuff like that, though.

we've never been to the Fest before, let alone played, but god damn it, it sounds better and better every day
