NLQP STAFF MUST BE SHADY AS THE OWNERIts total bullshit I was out there for about 2 hours Saturday untill I got busted also.When I first arrived I seen them people with x get busted, they all sitting in front of everyone coming into the fest. I was also caught by staff with a buddy he got poped wit a 8 ball powder, and I got busted with 43 hits. Thank god they didn't turn us in, them people who got busted with all the pills must of been givin staff or the cops shit. Cause all the staff did was do the powder, and ate my cid. I fully do not support nelsons ledges anymore, staff is total pricks to people. Because you know what.. caught up ur shit or go to prison. They dont care they will be doing ur shit later, or selling it back to people out there.www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8483526#8483526Jul 17 2008 5:46 PM So, my girlfriend and I bought some shrooms from some of the staff at nelsons this year... they sold us drugs and when we tryed to sell them the same staff members who sold them to us confinscated them and our money and forced us to pick up trash or they would make everyone we came with leave.Evan is a crook, and needs to be in prison... I have talked to the DEA and they are gathering evidence as you read this... nelsons is going down this year, and I would hate to be there when it does. www.myspace.com/nlqp

ATTENTION PEOPLE ARE TALKING NLQP-GRATEFUL FEST BE AWAREThat place gets hotter and hotter every year. A ton of regulars told me the sheriff has regular staff throughout there now, sad. Within a few years there will be no safe festival grounds, what a world. www.shroomery.org/forums/showfla ... 26#8483526 Dear Fans, This date was pulled because the promoter did not fulfill his contractual obligations, and upon further discussion to resolve, became belligerent and uncooperative. This is not the type of attitude & environment The Avett Brothers' organization prefers to engage in. Subsequently & sadly, the promoter (Evan) has become even more unkind and slanderous towards The Avett Brothers, so please consider the source when reading the untruths the event is spreading out there. Rest assured The Avett Brothers will continue to perform in northeast Ohio a couple of times a year, just not at this particular venue. www.theavettbrothers.com/community.php?&sub=board&com=board&brd=topic_189379__0After reading this thread, I went to the web site mentioned. I sent an e mail to the site telling them what I thought about the comments toward TAB. Evan sent me an immediate, and not nice, email back. They are better off staying away from this venue.Same here. "Evan" wrote me back, and called me every name in the book, and had quite a few curse words directed towards me and Avett fans! We are still going at it in e-mails! This guy is a piece of work, and seems unstable to me.

Funny. I just came back from one of the best weekends of my life over there and Evan seemed like a tight ass dude. Did not see one person get hassled the whole weekend save one douche for shooting fire works in a wooded area. There was enough L and molly there so that everyone had at least a sheet and a G for the head. I guess it just depends what weekend you head there with the more popular occasions having tighter security measures. The music for Summer Dance was sick, everyone and their mother was dosed...so much I got a 30 hit handout from a groundscore, vendors were rippen the bong while doing sales...and all around good times. I guess you just had some tough luck. And security jacking your shit pretty much happens everywhere if they catch you foxing around with it.
I look at it like this. That place holds 10-15 festivals a year. With a SHIT ton of illegal activity going there. The cops know it and everyone and their mother knows it. A deal was definitely struck between Evan and authorities. They will pander around and harass people here and there to look like they are doing something...and 95% of people won't get fucked with. All around couldn't really ask for anything better than that imo.

Believe me when I say "I know what shady festy promoters are like." Evan is not one at all. Maybe you need to either keep that selling thing on the DL a little more, or maybe... I dunno... NOT DO IT. Just a suggestion. How about enjoy the music... the reason that Evan has fests there and the reason that bands play there, not for people to make a living off selling drugs. I'm not anti-drug in the least, but I know how to keep shit on the DL. How is a place shady for wanting to keep people from selling drugs in front of kids and with cops that can bust in at any second, out of there?
;D Sorry... I just find this thread comical.

yeah i agree with fresh and lizard... they have to do something on occasion so that the cops dont shut them down... as long as you arnt dumb about it you should be alright... and you prob did something right infront of them and your lucky they didnt send you over to authorities. in my eyes you should be thankful about what happened not mad. it could have been way worse for you. Nelsons ledges is a FAMILY place, not a druggies place. There are little kids running all around there. Hell, there is even a playground for them.
The fact that the first article you posted mentions that all the kids who got arrested were from out of state, makes me think it was prob there first time there and they were prob openly selling drugs on the main path. not to mention the articles you posted are from a messageboard based on shrooms... haha. that just shows where your head really is.
If all your worried about is selling drugs at a festival then most of us would rather not have you there any way. I go to festivals just about every weekend of the whole summer and i havnt sold any drugs a single time.

There's drugs at Festivals? Where? Damn I must be blind.. Yeah I did notice that everyone busted was not from Ohio... Evan was cool to me when I performed there.. I have no problems with any promoter or any venue, I do have a problem with all this $#it slinging.. Yet I still sit here and waste my time by posting in these threads.. I must be an idiot... Yet I'll do it again, silly huh.. NLQP is a great place.. NLQP isn't the only fest that has people selling and/or using illegal substances.. I almost venture to guess that there were drugs at Grateful Dead shows back in the day.. It's about the music and Phamily.. Stop hating on each other..

I was at the festival that the people in the article linked were busted during. I was camping VERY CLOSE to those people. I observed quite a bit of shady activity in and out of the site that the suspects were camping in from the VERY MINUTE they arrived on the property, even before their tent was even set up. If I noticed it, than I am willing to bet that NLQP security noticed it too. Those people were not smart about how they were going about their activities. They were given plenty of opportunity to settle down before being professionally asked to discontinue their activities.
The point is, if you are obviously doing some stupid things than you are bound to have a run in. This happens EVERYWHERE, not just NLQP.
NLQP is a fantastic venue. Their full time security staff has been around a very long time, and they do know what they are doing. Here-say is a very powerful thing. Check your facts before you make assumptions.
Be responsible, understand that if you chose to participate in illegal activity than there are ramifications. Keep it to yourself or DON'T DO IT AT ALL and you will be fine.
Be safe.

Ohio fan of the bucket: "Be aware if you go to nelson ledges there will be a large number of lot rats and dealers of death who peddle hard drugs there. I say this to make those aware of the crowd in case you are thinking of taking kids or are turned off by rampant drug use at this show and this venue". www.bucketheadland.com/BoardBucketListDet.asp?brd=1&prnt=70189&chld=70296

Unfriendly people stated on NLQP message board: August 6th 2008 04:06:33 AM What is your name? Doobie City Willowick Please enter your comments?
I have to say all in all this past weekend was pretty bad. My first night there I tried to participate in a drum circle and as soon as I walked up to the people they were the most unkind people I have interacted with at this camp grounds. I have been coming to the Ledges for 3 years now but this was the most un-friendly event that I have been to.
