schwagstock stories

tell me yours.

What is schwagstock?

it,s that big hipie fest that they have up around salem at camp zoe all the time.a real groovy time,you know what i mean.

The feds have a big bust planned next summer. If you want to be safe, stay away. All good things come to an end, especially in the state of Misery.

are you sure about that?i mean what are they going to do ,bring in the national gaurd?

Schwagstack is a fantastic music festival oth The Sinking Creek in Shannon County.
www.campzoe.com
It is a lot of fun with really great bands and camping and nice fun people.
I am pretty sure "The Feds" have a lot better things to do and bigger fish to fry than a couple of hippy kids at a music festival. I think they are learning that from their failed roadblocks this last year and how their arrest numbers are falling drastically and by how many of their cases are getting thrown out.
They better focus on the meth problem down there instead of hassling kids going to listen to music.

The Bands at Swag are great, as for a bust Spook Fest 2007 there were over 30 under cover agents there sellng their wears as well I am sure.
I was told to stay away from a certain type of men who were trying to bust you.
(knowing one of the security guards and being best friens I get told things.)
If you have never been you should go just for pure intertainment, Really it is better than going to the Zoo.
The law can not do anything there at Swag, it is private property, they would have to have 4 thousand warrents and they just can't do it, just like the Rain Bow bunch that come in and dumped their shit filled back packs in a public John.

they can go anywhere they want with probable cause with 1 warrent sweatie pie. The bust is coming just wait and see, or go and get busted

They would literally have to send the military in to do such a thing. And it would be such a waste of time. How are you gonna secure 4000-8000 people, and their belongings to be able to find that joint they are looking for? Are they gonna repel out of helicopters? How does one invision this realistically happening? Because i don't see it. And this has also been rumored to have supposed to taken place in past years as well, and it never happened.

When is it this year?

So do they plan on arresting even the people that are clean as well? Because the majority of them are clean. And i would love nothing else than a lawsuit against them for false arrest on 1000's of people. Could you imagine how much that would cost taxpayers. Let alone any of the other lawsuits that would stem from what you say is gonna happen.

It's not like they even have probable cause as zoe regulations state no illicit drugs aloud. Just hearing about alleged activities there isn't enough or else live music simply wouldn't exist anywhere in this country do to your so called probable cause. Plus as no dogs are aloud it's not like they can just walk a pooch around sniffing. As others have said they would need literally thousands of warrants. Read the laws of this country and know your rights before you start try to tell us ours.

Schwag 42 was amazing this year. Didn't see anyone getting messed with by police and everyone seemed to get along perfectly. The only thing they were really strict about was nitrous tanks. Our neighbors had a few empty ballons laying around(not from a tank) and staff rode by and then like swarmed them and searched their van. They didn't find any tanks and apoligized for the hassel... so staff was pretty chill. Those helicopters that were flying over were actually looking for two people that were trying to sneak in and fell off a cliff and broke their legs. But all those fuckin paranoid kids with their goddamn lasers. Definately a good time for anyone that likes live music, camping and good friends.

Is he okay? i am really concerned about him... i mean, wow, will he be able to walk again?

who is capt catfish??? i was totally in the vw that got searched for nitrous. that was weird dude. i had to have met you. check this out, www.jamandtheplaygroundkids.com , anyhow, whats with all this about ZOE getting raided by the nat. guard? this isn't the only one of these going on out there you know. its just the only one going on in a beautiful location surrounded by right wing bible bumping nut balls. ZOE has done so much for Shannon County it is unreal. it is one of the poorest countys in the us, and ZOE is single handedly turnin it around. i was at several shows on dead tour and if they can turn their heads when we were all partying in a parking lot in the middle of chicago, then what is so bad about ZOE? i have been at about 2 schwags a year since the very first Schwag at ZOE, and it has stolen a piece of my heart. it hurts to see people talk smack that have no clue about the beauty of this place and the people. i will admit that there are a lot of baby vamps (f##ked up high school posers), but that is just part of it nowadays. all in all, i love jimmy,stu,nate and i love Camp Zoe, and no road block, national guard, or the devil himself can keep me outta there.

I agree....ZOE has done positive things for Shannon County, but 'single handedly turned it around'? That may be taking it a bit too far.

no. not "turned" it around. single handedly "turning" it around. theres alot more turning to do in that county finnancially i would imagine. i haven't heard of many other huge money makers attractions going on down there. not anything pulling in up to 6000 people a month anyway. so i would say it is doing a little more turning than much else down there finnancially, or bringing in bussiness, or putting little towns like yours on the map. i know if my podunk little struggling suburb town (marseilles il,barely on the map) had upwards of 6000 a month, the locals would complain about all the same things the locals do in shannon co, but behind the curtians the local law and bussiness would be loving it, and would never shut it down. especially in a location that is not rubbing into the public eye, has its own great security, its own great first aid station, its own way of life, that has never hurt anybody who knows how to take care of themselves. that place is just such a draw, it must be embraced. this whole country has to get turned around, camp zoe is just a little place that got it right, and it turns people on. freedom is a hell of a thing, and it brings me there quite a bit.
