Specifics!? How bout a guy grabbing my ball and saying "do you have any NO NO WORD!!! in here?" I thought "fondle" was pretty specific. You want a date and time too?
Wow...I mean I don't know about anyone else but I thought security was more relaxed this year than the last two. No one searched my car, I only got patted down like twice and the cops and security pretty much stayed out of people's business. I did hear about security busting some dude up outside of CenterRoo, but I don't know the full story behind it.

They were certainly not cracking down on glowsticks in centeroo.
lol at a law student getting all righteous and being so naive. any time someone uses the phrase open letter, you know there's going to be something funny in it.
relax man, you'll forget all about it in a week.
Wow, I'm glad you can over look stuff like people getting beat the fuck up.

I'm sorry you and you girlfriend had a bad experience but you buy the ticket, you take the ride. Now imagine if Bonnaroo was a rollercoaster. When you get on a rollercoaster you do assume a small amount of risk of being bumped around right? So say your riding the coaster and it goes up a big hill and when you come down to the bottom your butt comes off the seat a little and then slams back down smashing your balls a little, maybe hurting a little. Well at Bonnaroo instead of bumps there are clumsy security people who may accidentally graze or even in your case however unfortunate, grab a ball.

I felt they were more thorough than before, esp with the bags. But it's still a joke for anything other than weapons. I walked straight through with my spoon in my hand everytime, simply b/c I didn't want to taste my bonnacrotch whenever I smoked.
btw, op, instead of wasting time with an open letter, make a direct complaint to axis security axissecurityinc.com/
still a waste of time, but at least it's a bit more reasonable.
Yeah, I'd like to sign up for some fondling too. Just a little. I'll take one unit of fondling, please. Do I get to choose who administers the fondling? Because I have some suggestions.
I would like to suggest Grace Potter for my fondling please.
Hell yea.....I fell in love with her...but really..I had a camelbak ..and I never..repeat never got bothered...maybe having nipple rings helped
Security coming in Thurs PM during the rain shower, looking in my car: "You have a lot of stuff back there. Any coolers?" Me: "yeah" Security: "Um, wow they look buried. Uh, do you have any glass, or uh, weapons or anything?" Me: "Nope" Security: "OK! Have a good time!"
I guess you are right that is how we determine things here one ball.
You disagree with me, But i respect you man.
I disagree that security was especially harsh, and as a law student, I am sure you understand that mainly they were looking out for our safety. If there were 100 stories like this I would take pause, but just one story makes me feel you are being overly sensitive to a single incident.

"I'm a law student who grew up as a rich kid, I'm used to getting my way and people getting the hell out of my way. I enjoy complaining, criticizing, and making outrageous statements. Sometimes I take the family yacht out for some fine bitching about the weather. Every summer I go to a festival that I hate, for people completely unlike me, and usually have a terrible time. I freely sue the pants off of anyone doing their job, and often submit my complaints to major news agencies so they can spread the horrors that my rotten life is full of."

This was my first roo, and The only day i was patted down was Thurs, they searched my bag on thurs,fri,sat which was fine, i didn't have anything not allowed. Sunday i had my bag open ready to be searched and he just waved me through.
I used the gate by the Ferris Wheel every time.
I didn't see any security messing with anyone for anything inside centeroo or at the stages.
some security gaurd came to our camp site while we were raging a tank and sat down and raged with us until he said he had to take it but we just followed him and took it back when he set it down.
hummm?? I thought it was easier to get through security then prioir to 9-11 . And you must have looked or seemed shady as fuck for them to think twice from letting you pass. Or maybe you where as cocky as your letter and they wanted to put you on spot. I am just confused with why you think typing this will even matter? Any law student would know with out any proof your letter is meaningless for all they know you could have been impaired the whole time and those are your feelings beacause of that. You really didn't waste your time making a false-what-if threat did you?
I actually noticed less security there than last year - but maybe I'm not the best judge, since I was in staff camping and we had our own entrance to Centeroo where we didn't really get searched. I only went through the main gates a few times, and I never had any trouble. However, I also noticed a lot less corn this year though, so maybe security was tighter and I just didn't know it. It'd be helpful if you gave a rundown of exactly what happened, so I could be a better judge of whether the guards overstepped their boundaries.
Now, I'm not saying what they did was right or wrong - as I said, you haven't given enough information for me to pass judgment - I'm just saying that when you're on the farm, you're on private property, and they have the right to search you for druqz and weapons, just as you have the right to leave the line and go back to your campsite. The fact of the matter is that, in my two years at Roo, the searches I've had to go through were nothing compared to what I'd have to go through at any given club in Boston on a weekend.
Also it's important to remember to really make sure the dude touching your balls with the security shirt is ACTUALLY with security and not just something you made up to explain to your girlfriend why you were letting a random dude fondle your testicles.
