Please don't.

Or how about your experiences, good or bad? Just posting bad experiences will create a warped picture.

Personally, my PDF was great this year. Other people have told different stories, but I wasn't a victim of theft or hostility. The people I met were all really cool.

Already way too many "Bad experience" posts.

The only bad thing for me this PDF was that it had to come to an end.

Nothing.. I even miss those damn flies! Also, that it has to "theoretically" end.

My bad experience was after spinning fire all night at pex sunday night into mon morning the stupid sun came back like it does everyday =) Ok so I had a little drama and dumped a friend over PDF. I just can't be friends with someone that MOOPs, mooches, judges people for bing too weird at a burn and say lines like "most of these people really shouldn't be naked. The only people that shouldn't be naked are people uncomfortable being naked or fair skinned people in the daylight without sunblock =)

i was broken at pdf... No pdf did not break me bt I had some sort of broken and got worse while there...

but my "bad experience" has a twist...

It sucks being injured around 1000 people who care about you. Every 10 seconds I was turning down an offer for help if I was limping or walking funny.



thank you all.

Sometime late Sunday night while speed wandering towards Ludo's from the Copter with everyone from Camp Crashpad (and hitting every stop on the way) I heard someone yell "HEY JUGS!" behind me... performing my patented drunken spin I greeted some people who at my level of intoxication must have been... well... erm... well they really have been anyone... That part is fuzzy.

I do remembeer this though.. The gentleman who yelled my name proceeded to explain to the ladyfriend he was walking with, "This is Jugs, he's like, the crazy drunken master... you should see some of the stuff he can do with that jug..."

Right around this point his female friend lifts up my hat to proclaim, "You're F**king Hot!"

It was at that very moment that one my campmates threw up the ultimate C-block, grabbed my arm and yelled, "JUGS! Quit flirting with that girl and lets go" Pulling at my arm, causing me to totally lose track of who it was I was being complimented by...

I musta had some super-bad-karma-juju for that one... *Fists to the heavens*

Actually I have to admit I missed too much of it for either sleeping or wandering around a bit too -um- fubar. On the other hand I did get to spin fire! On the other hand, not enough times, and that was my own fault. I also lost my keys (and several other things) but had these wonderful friends who took hours and hours out of their precious PDF time Monday to help me out, and I cannot say enough good things about them. YOu know who you are. Next time not so much fubar.

Huh!?

sharing bad experiences at pdf is like waking up in the morning and finding poop smeared in your shag carpet...

my only bad experince was being back in the default world

I only regret having a single moment of PDF flee my flawed memory... I got too drunk too often and now my recollection of home ( the playa, the love, the people, etc.) is blurred. I guess I just have to let it fade with history and start dreaming of Spring! (and bring less 40's and rum, more love and energy)

I'd like to offer some empathy to those who feel or felt the need to express negative thoughts about their experiences at PDF.

While I would love it if this community were filled only with good, positive and wonderful experiences for everyone, the truth is, that's not the case. Bad things do happen. And the only way to change them, grow from them, or perhaps have our eyes enlightened to another way of viewing those experiences, is to have a place to voice them. What better forum for expressing those thoughts than this Tribe?

It's one thing to encourage people to focus on the positive more than the negative, but it's another thing entirely to discourage people from sharing their negative experiences. By sharing these experiences, we all grow, we all learn, and we can help mold this community to be even more overwhelmingly positive than it already is.

Amidst the myriad of thankful, positive, loving threads on here, there are only a couple threads where people have dwelled on the negative. And I've read so many posts in those threads that seem to discourage the dialogue. Am I the only one who's uncomfortable with that? I'm not saying I agree with the negative viewpoints, or whether or not those opinions are at all reflective of my experience... what I am saying is if someone has something to say... good, bad or indifferent... they have every right to say it without having their opinion squelched, or being admonished for feeling the need to share a negative experience. If nothing else, it gives us opportunity for discussion and to take good hard realistic look at the community we're developing. As great as it is, it can always get better!

Much love to all...

we dont need three threads about how bad this PDF was.
