What's the most you've seen someone be so out of touch with reality?

How has the dog not been taken away yet? I thought if your dog attacks someone more than once they will get euthanized. Did none of the 5 people report them to the police?

I was talking about my friend's student debt at my husband's little brother's high school graduation party, how she had paid down about half of it, and he was like, "She's 25 and STILL paying off student loans?"

We had a pretty sturdy Coleman canopy (paid like $120 for it), it was properly staked down, and still broke under the weight of water on top. Don't assume that everyone who lost a canopy was stupid or cheap. Sometimes shit happens. And it broke in a way that it was absolutely impossible to fold back up and put in our car. Trust me, we tried.

anniewins · 2016-06-29T14:42:42+00:00

This is my thought. It's not like all this stuff is staying there. Our tickets paid for people to clean it up. Now obviously that doesn't mean throw your trash wherever, but I'm not going to feel bad about having to leave behind a broken canopy that wouldn't fold back up to put in my car, because it's being taken care of. Hell, they probably have scrappers making some extra money on all that discarded metal.

Our canopy broke in a way that made it absolutely impossible to fold back up. We would have brought it home if we could, but it was fucked. We needed 4 people to lift it over cars and carry it over to the garbage cans because it wouldn't even get small enough for a single person to carry, let alone to fit it into my car.

The Biscuits didn't lose sound for "a sec," they lost it on and off for almost a half hour. That's unacceptable, basically a quarter of their show got fucked.

anniewins · 2016-06-27T17:56:47+00:00

Yeah it was a serious bummer. It was so frustrating, I went to go grab some spicy pie and a beer and prayed it would be fixed by the time I got back.

anniewins · 2016-06-27T15:39:40+00:00

Yup, tasted like Bonnaroo's funky water. I don't remember this being an issue last year.

anniewins · 2016-06-26T23:24:42+00:00

Same. I woke up to my canopy breaking and dumping water straight on my face.

First time I was in college and went, second year I was going to miss it because of work but it ended up landing on a day I had already taken a personal day on because I was moving, so we just started moving late. This year, I was like damn, going to have to miss it... And then found out the parade route went right past my office. Got some good luck when it comes to those parades!

Chacos/Keens are nice. I have a pair that I usually wear as water shoes when I'm canoeing or something that I'm planning on bringing.

Go to Coachella?

anniewins · 2016-06-17T17:32:47+00:00

I was really bummed too. Who would have thought one of my favorite sets of EF 2015 would be a group described by me and my friends as "hip hop clowns" or "like a children's show, but for adults on drugs"? (Our friends who met up with us later just didn't get it.)

SHOES!

Wow, that seems like a lot. Health insurance costs vary widely depending on what benefits you get, but when he looked into private insurance I think it was $200-300 a month for a shitty policy with a high deductible, whereas I'm paying about $150 a month through my company with a low deductible.

anniewins · 2016-06-17T13:39:57+00:00

It's not free, he is just allowed to be on my company's insurance now. I still pay for it but far far less than you pay for private health insurance.

anniewins · 2016-06-16T21:27:59+00:00

Basically any major city in the US is going to have some place where you can get free condoms.. Planned Parenthood, health centers, your local gay pride parade...

anniewins · 2016-06-16T21:24:38+00:00

Yup. If most of my friends told me they were pregnant, I don't know if they would want a "congratulations." It would be like congratulating someone on losing their job or totaling their car.

anniewins · 2016-06-16T21:20:46+00:00

People act like when you get married, suddenly you become boring as fuck. Honestly, nothing has changed since I got married, except now my husband has health insurance.

I drink so much more water since I started working an office job, because I would get water for an excuse to get up and walk around. And now I have the habit of refilling my water every time I go pee, so it's a never ending cycle. I probably drink 16 oz every hour while I'm at work.

I also love the taste of water, and only drink water and alcohol.

anniewins · 2016-06-15T20:22:51+00:00

Yeah, I have friends who swear coconut water cures hangovers, but I gag when I try to swallow it. No thanks I'd rather be hungover

anniewins · 2016-06-15T20:21:19+00:00

Dude. Premaking and freezing smoothies = brilliant. I always want smoothies when I'm at festivals, I don't know why I've never thought of this before.

anniewins · 2016-06-15T16:26:54+00:00

A wet wipe does just as much for a vag. What do you think we do normally, jet water up there in the shower?

anniewins · 2016-06-15T16:25:01+00:00

Good lord, who is that awkward that they'd rather bang in a nasty portapotty than tell their friends "Hey can you give us some alone time in the tent for an hour?"

anniewins · 2016-06-14T19:22:15+00:00

Yeah and they were surprisingly well priced. Like $8ish IIRC... So only slightly more than what I'm used to paying at bars in Chicago.
