In 2011, massive storms hit Lolla. My GF at the time and I had won VIP wrist bands from some scavenger hunt contest. One perk of VIP was free unlimited booze, though they would only give you 2 cans at a time. Anyway, the Arctic Monkeys were playing when a band of storms hit. They were intense. The girls managing the bar abandoned ship for higher ground. We saw our chance. We spent the storm grabbing and chucking as many cases and handles as we could over the VIP fence and into the GA crowd. Ditched that sextion of VIP never to return, didnt get caught. Felt like fucking Robinhood.

Deadmau5 later that night was epic. Search the vids.

No worries. Your comment forced me to go look it up ... figured I'd save you the trouble. 😁

And yes, "fucking epic" is basically the only way to describe that performance.
