Fuck The Roots Picnic. I will never ever go to that again. Any place that the attendants "charge" a dollar for a square (in lieu of tipping) of TP needs to stop.
I got thrown out and missed TVOTR. Nevermind NKOTB was on stage during the first Roots set.
But at least the TP saw the river first. ;D
That said. Little Dragon is beyond amazing.

Towards the end of the festival the attendants had taken the toilet paper from the port-o-johns and were clutching it, asking for a tip upfront. If you gave them a tip then they would give you a square and if not you were left to your own devices.
When I realized what was going on I asked them for some when they held out their hand for money I tried to explain that I didn't realize that toilet paper was an extra fee and I didn't have anymore. They moved and took cash from the next person.
I was a little irate and grabbed a fresh roll off the table and ran towards the bathroom. They chased me down before I got there. A huge yelling match ensued to which I grabbed a roll from someone holding it and chucked it into to the water.
Needless to say security was called and I (and the attendants) were escorted out. I don't think the people that ran Roots Picnic knew that they were doing this ... nor to I hold them responsible.
Still left a bad taste in my mouth.
