I was arrested tonight...

...for completely bs reasons.

I was at Bumbershoot, a huge music fest in seattle and I was going into the mainstage to see death cab for cutie and talk to some girls that I was chilling with and then meet up with mtbakerteacher and thepriceisWRONG (NS names, not actual thank god). I smoked a little bit earlier that day, but not much. I had no weed on me going through that gate.

Just a little earlier someone tried to bring a gun into the mainstage where we were going. They check bags there but normally super casually so anything can pretty much go by as long as it's not something big or easy to spot. So after they found the gun I guess they started cracking down. They patted down my backpack and felt a little something in the bottom, coincidentally my pipe and lighter in a soft glasses container. I had completely forgotten my pipe was there and normally the checking is totally nonchalant so there was really supposed to be no danger at all. Of course, I had to be a dumbass and not take precautions and put it in my pocket. So simple.

They search my bag, pull everything out, and find it. They go fucking beserk and make me take off my sweatshirt and roll up my pants to make sure there's no weed in the socks/shoes and pockets and all. I told them there was none to being with since I have barely any cash to spend now after buying ski stuff (ain't that the truth). By this time the police officers and the checkpoint have pulled me to the side, put my hands in cuffs and were ready to call my parents. I'm scared shitless at this point since I get kicked out of my home and my college funds get withdrawn if I ever get arrested.

Fortunately karma was on my side. The lady who checked me had complimented on my manners before and said that they would let me off because I was honest and "looked like a good kid." Which I am, other than smoking some ganj occasionally. She even gave me back my lighter and pipe.

Afterwards I thank god a million times and decide to put off smoking for a while to get some stellar grades this first term before college apps are due. that was my cool story, hansel

CLIFF NOTES: Guy tried to bring gun in to mainstage at music fest, security caught him and cracked down on everyone else while searching bags and I was dumb enough to forget my pipe in the bag and they overreact, scared shittless, read the story.
 
welcome to the club! my advice would be to stop reporting to your PO after a few months of making them think you're going to be a good boy and leave the state. that's what i'm doing, and when you get past the idea that there are warrants out for your arrest, it's a pretty solid plan.
 
Dammnn

if only you'd seen Del the Funky Homosapien and Xavier Rudd instead

they ended up letting you through?
 
we did see Del brotha it was sick nasty. that was when we smoked a bowl with these 3 super bomb chicks who turned out to be complete bitches.

and yeah they let me through. I have no idea why but it was embarrassing because the lineup of people kept on looking at me funny and sort of were freaking out since they thought I had something dangerous on me.
 
Suck you almost got in trouble for nothing big. But how was death cab ive always missed seeing them like 6 times by a day
 
oh man... it's always that one time. Thank god you didn't have any ganja on you... the one time being broke came in handy huh? haha.

I really wanted to come up there for that festival... sounded awesome.
 
im pissed i missed bumbershoot. oh well its okay i saw wutang there last year so nothing will really top that. and im kickin it in germany so its chill
 
Wait so you didnt actually get thrown in jail and forced to fight off hordes of 40 year old black men hungry for some 16 year old ass? Man what a disappointment, that wouldve been a much better story.

Oh well, it doesnt really surprise me after what happened at the last seattle festival heh, and I cant believe some retard actually had a gun on him. Fucking nickles is going to buckwild and ban squirt guns from seattle~
 
holy shit matt thats almost the EXACT SAME STORY that I have.

Only, it was BFD 2005, here in San Francisco, and it was a knife, and not a gun.

I had a REALLY small pipe on me that they found, and apprehended me for about an hour (which caused me to miss 2 shows i wanted to see). A cop came around with a k9, sniffed me up. Found no weed, other than the residue that was in my pipe (the bowl was clean, but the inner pipe had some resin build up). I said that I had only used it for tobacco smoking (which was half true..)

They let me go, but didnt let me keep my pipe, which i just threw away (it was like a 30 dollar piece.. big deal). Told me if they found anything on me during the event, that they would excersize extreme actions lol...
 
god what the fuck is up with all this high security bullshit. When i went to the SOJA show at slims (a small club in SF of all places) i had some weed in my purse for rolling spliffs, but it was in a pocket in another pocket in another small bag type deal...the security lady asked if i had anything on me and of course i said no... this lady spent literally 10 min (there's a long line) going through my purse eventually finds it and yells at me for not telling the truth... i'm thinking bitch? what do you thnk? i'm going to tell you right off or have a chance of getting away with it? hmmm hard decision. Anyway, no cops involved thank god, she just put it in the garbage and yelled at me a bit more before letting me go inside.

SERIOUSLY what is up? this was a reggae show... get fuckin real.
 
Woah this happened after I went in?

And Del was fackin' SICK. Such a good show, and us poor folk don't smoke out chicks in the crowd guys, c'mon.
 
yeah. remember I called you and tried to find you in the crowd but gave up? That's what I was trying to tell you I needed to talk to you about.
 
yea I was at the same show, that was disappointing.

So many people were booted for smoking or for giving drinks to their friends. Fuck that place, I'm going to see Tribal Seeds again in Santa Cruz.
 
that sucks matt

how can your parents take away your college fund and kick you out for one arrest

anyway, how was the death cab concert?
 
yea, I've been handcuffed and put in the back of a cop car but not technically arrested. Then a cop visited my house on another occasion for an assault and battery charge and I technically was arrested even though I was never detained. Shit doesn't make sense.
 
I guess that's why they ask "have you ever been in handcuffs before" on college/job applications now rather than "have you ever been arrested"
 
who tried to bring a gun?

yeah i was there and had no problems bringing my bong. concert was dope though, did you see del?
 
he goes to school at the university of richmond. they're all mad chill, NS u should check em out. Can't tell me is my favorite song
 
exactly. not getting arrested at all. just getting ur shit taken away from you. it sucks, n wasnt a bad story, but it was lacking the whole arrest part. you have to actually be taken to jail to be detained, and charged and punishment to have been arrested
 
So this is why you texted me and i told you to tell me and then you called me and said "Hello, is this Pat?" then I said "Yeah" and then you said "FUCK YOU! I'm busy right now and I'll tell you later..." haha! Well that experience was probably scarier than the time i had to run from the cops and they didn't catch me but fuckin dumbass friends of Shane's just stood their and let the cop come to them. And then on top of that they showed the cop where Shane lived.
 
haaaa

yeah, that was pretty fucking stupid. That same chick straight grabbed my nuts and shit when she was patting me down. I was like WTF dude.. no..

She gave me this whole "would your rather I call the cops?" shpiel...

I just shook my head and gave her the biggest stinkeye ever.
 
I was at bumbershoot. I probably saw you there. one of the security guards took my friends pipe while we were sitting in the grass waiting for del. no biggie, we just pulled out another. Good times.
 
i was at this festival called bliss and the security guard saw my brand new piece and i was like oh shit but he just told me how cool it was and how great it'd look filled out..... turns out he wasn't a security guard he just stole their extra shirt.
 
haha funny how in the original story said that you were goin to pass off on smoking for a while to thank god. Those chicks must have been that hot.
 
Good manners are the way to go. Whenever a cop has stopped me, usually for skating, I have super good manners and I AINT BE ACTIN NO FOOL. They let you off easy. But thats actually only in my town. Usually we just fuck around with people in other towns. But if it were for something like weed. And under the circumstances...Manners work.
 
They didn't arrest you because you had a pipe and lighter. They arrested you because who in their right mind would ever go see such a shitty band like Death Cab For Cutie.
 
Maybe somebody who has a respect for a unique sound paired with impressive guitar ability. Or maybe you should take the dick out of your ass.
 
yeah i almost got arrested for DUI and MIP (really stupid mistake) and they let me off with a warning because i was nice and respectful. shit i was so lucky.

so be nice everyone.
 
You didn't even get arrested, they just rummaged through your shit. I had a much scarier ordeal on Friday. Currently I am in Belgrade for some business, and I had some medicinal herbs in my pocket. Here the police pull over randoms on the side of the road for inspections. Luckily, the girl I was with who was driving at the time, had no previous record and she is damn fine so they let us go without even lookign at our papers and subjecting us to search. At a concert your fine, in a former communist cuntry that was in a war 10 years ago; NOT SO MUCH.

There my story.

Anyways, I feel for you bro. It is def shit.
 
Unique like everyone else. and the guitarist sucks. take the dick out your ass about the dick up my ass.
