Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
xiphoid, where are you staying for snoe.down? I'm at the Maple Leaf Inn in Lake Placid. I think it's about a mile and a half from the Olympic center. Sucks that the late night shows are 21+. I want to go see GDSS spin for a few hours. Here's hoping I can find a way in.
Brazilian Girls are known for their controversial shows. Lead singer Sabina Sciubba is often smoking marijuana on stage. At a show on December 29 2006 a completely nude woman was visible to the crowd and being painted by a muralist. Also at this show many members of the audience were invited on stage. Sabina was taking their shirts off. Many stripped down to bras and one or two even displayed their breasts. This was a 16 and older show, thus making these activities, as well as the marijuana smoking illegal (the nudity would've been legal at a 18+ show). At a different show in Colorado, she invited members of the audience on stage and made out with a female for over two minutes of the show. She also lets members of the audience sing into her microphone for some songs, most notably, Pussy.
i'm staying at the same place i was at last year, Northwoods Inn. i liked it because it was definitely walkable (read: close enough to stumble back to in any condition) from the venue and not too pricey.
i had no idea the late nights were 21+, that definitely sucks...i stopped paying attention to that kinda shit a long time ago when i crossed the barrier hehe. anyway, it might not be too strictly enforced, last year i'm pretty sure what qualified for a 'late night' was just some bar-type place that had a band there and people just wandered in anytime. i definitely don't remember having my ID checked at all, and i DO have the perma-baby face that would warrant it
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
so i noticed on the website that moe.'s not doing another outside set again this year, not that i blame em. the entire time last year i'm standing outside cold as hell wondering 'how in the 2#$@ aren't all their fingers frozen off?!'

one of my good friends just got hooked up with 2 free tix for this event, through our campus radio station. She might not be able to go. However, that means that my best friend from home might be able to go, and for pretty much free at the same time.
anyone else as blown away by this show as i was? unbelievable sets by moe., and great sets by disco biscuits (though i've seen better shows, still really good) little feat, hot day at the zoo, vorcza.
i'm pissed i missed the brothers past late night because one of my friends wasn't 21 and couldn't get in.

LAKE PLACID — Fifteen arrests on charges of illegal NO NO WORD!!! possession were made at the Olympic Center this past weekend during the Snoe.down music festival, and seven other arrests were linked to the event, leaving some leading members of the community doubting whether Lake Placid should host to Snoe.down in the future.
Mayor Jamie Rogers said the people who were arrested, most for NO NO WORD!!! possession, have a negative impact on the community.
“The minority of people who impact the community for this type of event has the potential of putting a very negative label on our community,” Rogers said. Rogers, along with his father Jim Rogers, said the heritage of Lake Placid’s community is in sports, not events that bring NO NO WORD!!! into the area.
Jim Rogers said he would like it if the event was not held in Lake Placid in the future.
Charges from this weekend’s event included possession of cocaine, LSD and marijuana. Ben Jaehne, vice president of Snoe.down sponsor Great Northeast Productions, said that no matter what the event, there will always be “knuckleheads” doing “stupid” things.
Jaehne said it’s too soon to say whether or not Snoe.down will again come to Lake Placid, but he said it is a good place to have the event.
“We like having the event in Lake Placid,” Jaehne said. “We’re happy Lake Placid was welcoming to having us.”
About 4,000 people attended the weekend-long music event that was held at the Olympic Center and the Cloudspin Lounge at Whiteface Mountain Ski Center in Wilmington.
State Olympic Regional Development Authority spokesman Sandy Caligiore called the behavior of the people who were arrested, numbering 22 at the Olympic Center, “abhorrent.” ORDA runs the Olympic Center and Whiteface.
“It’s certainly not something we will ever condone, it’s against the law, and more importantly, it goes against common sense,” Caligiore said. “If you break the law, you pay the price.”
Jamie Rogers suggested meeting with ORDA and the event sponsors to talk about the logistics and time frame for the event in the future and whether or not it will coincide with another activity that is going on at the center. Caligiore said such a meeting is definitely something they could do.
Jamie Rogers said that because the event was held the same weekend as a Can/Am hockey tournament, he was “nervous” that Snoe.down would leave a negative impression on visitors who may choose not to return to the Olympic Village because of the number of arrests.
“Our community’s heritage and future is athletic, and that is a much more positive role,” he said.
Law enforcement operations were very visible, with guards patting down everyone as they came through the door at the Olympic Center and police roaming around the center throughout the entire event, as well as street patrols. Caligiore said that, given the precedent of heavy security at last year’s Snoe.down, he had hoped people would not try to bring anything illegal to the shows.
“You’d like to think people will wise up before it gets to that point,” he said.
He added that if Snoe.down is held in Lake Placid again, law enforcement units will do “the proper thing.”
“You hate to take the whole crowd by the actions of a very few, but we want those very few to clean it up.”
Village Police Chief Scott Monroe said the event is a huge burden on the police department and on the taxpayers.
“We had 188 hours of overtime; that’s $5,300 of overtime,” Monroe said. “For a small community, that’s a chunk of money.”
Monroe agreed with the Rogers that Snoe.down isn’t an event for Lake Placid.
“In my opinion, it’s not an event that is needed in the community,” Monroe said. “We don’t need to be supporting an event that brings NO NO WORD!!! in.”
Monroe added that most of the events that come to Lake Placid are “mild,” where only alcohol is in use. “Alcohol is legal, NO NO WORD!!! are not.”
Monroe said that many people bringing things like marijuana into the center had the contraband confiscated from them at the door by security, but unless an officer was there when it happened, the person was likely not arrested.
“We couldn’t physically arrest everybody that went into that place,” Monroe said. About three-quarters of the village police department worked at the event. Another concern of Monroe’s is that the event was held so close to the school.
“I don’t know what’s going to be found when the snow melts,” he said.

All those arrested, unless otherwise noted, were processed, released on cash bails or their own recognizance and are scheduled to appear in village court at a later date.
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."
really effing disappointing. not that i'm in love with lake placid having gone the past 2 years, but its a nice chill town and whiteface is a decent mountain to ski/board.
no, whats really disappointing is that both of the festivals i've done this year (langerado & snoe.down) have had the same theme with arrests: a few people ruining nuts for the rest of us and making headlines. i hope this trend does -not- continue throughout the year.
