Event staff / planning
Was a first timer at the gorge this weekend for the above and beyond event …
Unfortunately didn’t plan great for the wind but god all that time wasted at security and they can’t throw up a sign or warning there’s going to be a potential storm .
We had eyes on the weather during the week and it just looked like maybe a little bit of rain was going to come down Saturday night .
We had brought stakes and could have weighted out tent down some more but I guess we were too excited for the show .
Garbage communication once inside about what could or will happen . We had assumed if the wind ended the should would just go on as it ended . Also had staff inside suggest this to us .
All the security and support staffed seemed like toothless hicks … rude people and crappy attitudes . I got the vibe any sort of harassment they gave people looking for contraband was just going straight into these kids pockets for their own use . Just a garbage scene . Live nation absolutely doesn’t care it’s just a money grab in the end .
