You'll be fine LuAnna..just ride clean and keep the glass/alcohol containers outta sight!

oh.. you must have missed the other posts.. we had to sell our tickets due to an illness in my friend's family.  I deleted both threads  that were related to selling those tickets. Instead I am going to go to Lawrence Monday to hear the Waybacks that night. which was really my only reason for even considering going to Waka in the first place.

I did read back on their forum and noticed that their drug bust checkpoint scam was  almost identical  to the one that happened a few years ago at Telluride. Those guys must talk about these things at their conventions !

And.. here is the kicker.. I posted about those tickets here, on the forum, on the festivarian list, on the Winfield list, on two different Craigslist locations adn on the Wakarusa. When I was sure that they were sold the next day, i went back to delete those that i could. and the one on the Wakarusa forum had already been taken down.. with no explanation to me.. but i noticed that all posts related to ticket sales were gone.  (That really made me appreicaite this forum.)

and that is all of the experience I ever need with the Wakarusa festival.  (and as someone who has attended other festivals in Kansas,  I can tell you that the Wakarusa BS is a Wakarusa thing.. not a Kansas thing.)

As far as I know there were no searches this year. everything was much much calmer and the music/crowd was fantastic. Not to mention Yonder damn near blew the roof off of the revival tent!

Hey.. I hadn't looked back at this thread since Telluride, but i just want to say that I am really glad to hear that the scene was calmer and that you had a good experience.  The size of the crowd alone can make a difference.
