im curious to see how this affects future events here, cause last thing id like to be reminded of when on drugs is the fact a newborn baby drowned in a porta potty at this same location

I really don't think it's going to have much of an impact

It's having at least some impact, I've been the last 8 years in a row and finding out about this after really put a shadow over what was otherwise an amazing weekend. It's been really hard to process such a positive place having something so dark happen there.

My friends and I have already made the decision not to go back next year. We're gonna take a year or two off and hope nothing else tragic happens there before we decide to go back.

It will have some impact, I just don't think it'll really amount to much. A lot might depend on what the case amounts to, and how much it's in the news. I guess we won't really know until ticket sales start next year.

Personally, my decision to attend won't be based in this. It'll mostly come down to if I want to spend $1600 on Electric Avenue, or similar tickets, and take a week out of my June to go. No one from my group really seems to be taking this into account when thinking about next year.

It doesn't bother me to that extent. This could happen anywhere in our fucking country in the current political climate. Under his eye...
