Is SNWMF going to be doing random car and camp searches this year or not??
It is suspicious that I posted this same question earlier today, and it was banned from the message board.

If it is banned again, I will know the answer is "yes" and I hope that all else who see this will know it too.



Love Right, Live Right

oh stop being ridiculous. what exactly would "snwmf" be searching for?

I know last year they wouldn't let us in until they searched my car for smiles

yo la la luna - what is suspicious is that you would even post such an idiotic post after all the rebuttals to previous idiotic posts.

heh Yea if anything they removed it because they thought it was a joke. lol
J/K. No never fear They will look into your car to make sure no dogs and hidding in back but im 99% positive no ones belongings will be raped---- At least by the volentiers,
This year more of our rights have been skinned off- so i dont know about 5-0.
No worries tho =)

The only idiocy is not asking the questions.
I find it interesting how negatively people reacted to this post. But, the computer is anonymous and so you can say whatever you want without taking responsibility.
I read this info on another message board (SPearhead Music Board under "SNWMF SUCKS" This person was saying that SN was going to hire added security, NOT volunteers, to search peoples cars and campsites and that they were going to enforce a "NO SMOKING" rule.
Now, wouldn't the smart thing to do be to ask SN if this was in fact true? Why does it have to be a negative thing? Why are people so quick to jump on the negative side of things?
There aren't any revolutionaries here, only sheep.

Good luck with that.

so now that you presumably know the truth, why dont you go over there and correct them?

or are you too busy to baaaaa-ther or maybe youre just baaaaa-ing at la luna?

my guess is because you are what is referred to as a "wind up artist" and it was probably you who posted that there to begin with. just a guess.

I checked out the line up for Thr Sierra Nevada World Music Festival. Well our man is there to jam. But I was told by an official of the Venue, that there will be no smoking period this year. They said extra officials will be marching around to enforce the rule. Plus I was told there will be random car searches. Whats this world coming to man! I'm saving my cash for another show. Maybe I'll catch the fellow playin w/ Ziggy

FYI,
SNWMF is my favorite festival. I have sung nothing but praises about this festival. I hope this is not true, this is why I asked. No more, no less.

I don't because the only responses to my question have been negative REACTIONS. There has been no progressive reasoning.

"There aren't any revolutionaries here, only sheep."

You wonder why people are reacting negatively to you and then insult the people on this board with your comment. Maybe your answer lies in the abrasive way you're formulating your posts. That aside, you're dwelling on a rumor that came from an anonymous source on another site. It has already been debunked here and the mediators of the board have asked that people stop talking about it. At this point it appears that you are trying to stir up controversy and perpetuate hearsay. If that is not the case, perhaps you should let the issue go. It's not the work of a revolutionary to spread rumors.

Acacia, you are like the sweet dew glistening in the sunshine on a hilltop overlooking the valley of decision.

Time to grow up La Luna. The reason you're getting hit so hard is right in front of you. Don't discuss it! How many times does it have to be repeated for you to read it? Even after more posts instructing you not to disucss it, you had to put up the post from Spearhead's site. Time to listen a little. The fact that you raise the question implies you have something that is not legal to hide. That's the point! If you have questions about things that should not be discussed, try e-mailing instead of posting. You might get a more personable answer. Don't take things so personal. Nobody hates you here. Some just seem to be a little more enlightened or conscious of the situation and are trying to aid you in your ignorance of it. Trying to call people out as anonymous is not going to work. I'm sure most people here would be willing to tell you these things to your face if they knew it would help. Don't get caught up in a cycle of hate, just congratulate and move on. Continue the love!

Out!!!!!!!!

Damn!!!!! This ridiculous rumor comes up about once a month before the festival every year. Give me a break. There is little police presence at SNWMF and I have had nothing but good experiences from with them during the years I have volunterred or been on SNWMF staff.

Like I have said before. If you are wise and don't flaunt your extracurricular activities, no one will hassle you.

I think if we spot any undercover cops, disguised as ruffians or surfer dudes giving anyone a hard time, we should surround them with a mob and not allow them to do anything to the person they are trying to violate. Remember the bum-rush, lets bring it back, to protect out bredren and sisten here at the fest. Wait, that might bring in the national guard.......But we do have the numbers.............

Welcome to Northern California, where even a reggae festival has to be bogged down by the self-styled victimized who can't even have three days of fun without finding a way to obsess about imperialist defenders of the law.

"The only idiocy is not asking the questions."
Since when did a reasonable and polite dismissal of an inquiry become 'negative' ? The only "idiocy" is your lack of awareness of individual rights. Random car and camp searches are illegal. Ever heard of the 4th amendment?

"they were going to enforce a "NO SMOKING" rule."
Who is "they"? the county fairgrounds commission? SN? the police? Seems like an ordinance of this magnitude would have to have been approved long ago.

"I find it interesting how negatively people reacted to this post.But, the computer is anonymous and so you can say whatever you want without taking responsibility."
People calmly disregarding your misguided concern is not really interesting. Your lack of knowledge of the rights protected under the Constitution is pathetic. Spearhead fans who passively listen to mediocre music on purpose, then have the all- of- sudden- urgency to thro' smack at SNWMF, are alarmingly irresponsible.

Im Sorry la Luna if "My" Responce seemed to be a nagative one,
I Love you Sista
And i really hope those rumors were just rumors!

I am pretty sure that SNWMF has hired outside security every year. There is some voulunteer security, but I know for a FACT that Rainbow, Boo, Don and the rest of the regular security crew is hired EVERY YEAR and paid by SNWMF. But, I also know that those guys are cool and that they wont mess with anyone without just cause. No, they wont be raping cars... just looking for people hiding and dogs! :-) Relax... its all going to be okay...

So true Katers, so true, everything is going to be ok.. Jah bless. positive vibes..

LaLuna,

Unless your a dog, you wont get "bitten" during the DOG-GONE search

See you there

Well I must say- Dont let the Illusion of the real world bring you down!
Remember the love on the inside, Everything ealse is nothing more than a dream reality and a realistic dream =)
We must love eachother - and cometogeather - The ones who can see, Open your eye's -- let the blind ones compromise
Remember peace and love!
