OT Country Fair

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Anyone going? Anyone ever been?

Rookie attendee here. Just curious what it’s like.

Those things are built for one purpose only: for the government to spy on you.

I would recommend having sex with it, then smashing it with the largest rock you can lift.

Let me know if you have additional questions.

Who are you going with? How did you get your ticket?

If you have any sort of connection with the Oregon Country Fair beg to get a ticket to the midnight show.

I was lucky enough to get mine two years in a row from the guy on the right.

I spent more years than I care to remember at the OCF working in a friend’s booth.

The best is after hours, if you are working there and staying inside. It’s magical. Midnight show is a blast. Bring a pillow or chair. It’s long and gets uncomfortable sitting so long.

The food is great. Rita’s burritos. Mmmm. Blazing salads. Get fried rice. Nancy creamery/ cheesecake.

Lots of great stuff, and junk too to buy. It’s sort of like the Portland Saturday Market on steroids and in the forest.

The sauna - The Ritz - is an experience. Nude up!

The worst is the heat, crowds , and dust on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Get t early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

Amazing performers and music. Some of my favorites are spoonman, deaux carnivals, bubble man Tom Notti.

You’ll have a blast. Give us a report!

In fact, sitting next to me right now is my oldest pal in the world. He’s headed down to the fair from Seattle. His 41st year! An old hippie. Get ready for lots of pitchulie and boobs

...so you've never been

 

[Strenuus]

...so you've never been

haha, I've actually been to a couple, but I was super young.

 

[oldfisherman]

I can't figure out which country you guys are talking about?

Since Barfo is talking about govt. spys, and having sex with a fair goat, shared with Sly. I'm thinking you guys are going to Greece.

I was at the old original fairs when I planted trees up here in the 70s.....my son worked the seafood grill there all his childhood and into college...he stayed at the fair and always said it was best when the public left after 7......I have been a couple of times over the last 5 years and it was not my scene....dusty, crowded..stood in a long line to get some Thai noodles ...starving...sat on a log by the river to eat and a hippy sneezed all over my food....I have many friends who work the fair and the music is usually really good....from my house I can hear the drums and bass on the main stage from miles away and turn on the radio to listen to the fair...it's like having a giant subwoofer...you'll have a good time...I'd meet you there but my condition won't allow it this year...have fun dude!

Your boy is back stage.... at MAIN STAGE. I’ve been told I’m a POS cuz rookies don’t belong there with such privileges, but, well, ya know. I’m me.

Folks with nearly 30 years there tell me I’m a bastard and the luckiest SOB ever. I don’t know what that means - I know my parents.

 

[riverman]

I’m a POS cuz rookies don’t belong there with such privileges,

You must be the booze connection

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You must be the booze connection

Damn. Winner winner turkey dinner.

First guess and it took two seconds.

You’ve recovered well, in my opinion!

Been there, done that, you're going to have fun, don't let too many random people spray you with spray bottles, you'll be trippin' for a long time.

So what time are we going?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

So what time are we going?

I leave in 5. Waiting for my ride that should be showing up any moment now.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I leave in 5. Waiting for my ride that should be showing up any moment now.

I'm still waiting.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

I'm still waiting.

He picked me up. Must have gotten confused about which Sly to get.

Big fuck up, he picked up the one who can't ban people.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

Big fuck up, he picked up the one who can't ban people.

Or can I?

Muahahahaha

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Or can I?

Muahahahaha

There has never been a cat at any of our secret banning rituals.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

There has never been a cat at any of our secret banning rituals.

So you're saying there was no pussy there?

Why am I not surprised?

 

[riverman]

no self respecting cat needs a group hug

I’m here.

 

[riverman]

I’m here.

You have fun dude?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

You have fun dude?

Hard not to. Back stage and pouring wine. One of two legit companies serving alcohol. Only place on the grounds where alcohol is permitted.

Seriously, when folks find out I’m a first-timer and in my position, I’m instantly hated. So it’s all groovy.

It'll take months for the patchouli oil to scrub off your skin...
