One of the quintessential Ultra Music Festival experiences that rarely gets any press is the average attendee’s trip to the port-a-potty.
Well, I was waiting in line last night at 10:14 p.m. trying not to piss my pants and thought, “Somebody’s gotta document it. Why not me?” But whipping out my iPhone and typing out a Tweet, I couldn’t get a signal. Still, for my own scatological amusement, I wrote it all out.
So apologies for the delay … But these are the Tweets you would have read in real time via @crossfade_sfl if 3G service didn’t suck at Ultra.
10:14 p.m. Never thought I would willingly document a trip to the port-a-potty at a major music fest. And yet here we are … Ultra 2011, tweetcasting.
10:14 p.m. Queues are short. But they’re totally disorganized. Does the DMT-addled mind lose its ability to understand the concept of a straight line?
10:14 p.m. Forget straight lines … Are these stoners gonna be able to hold their shit in?
10:14 p.m. Way too many people hitting the port-a-potties in pairs.
10:14 p.m. The good-slash-sad news: They’re out superquick. Let’s hope they’re doing drugs. And not making love. ‘Cause 60 seconds is always too short.
10:14 p.m. I haven’t seen anyone deal with incontinence the way I suggested in Crossfade’s Ultra Survival Kit, i.e. crapping in a plastic bag.
10:14 p.m. One solution we actually have witnessed … Pissing between the portable toilets. But, um, could this possibly work with number two?
10:14 p.m. Man, if you think one shitter stinks …
10:14 p.m. Go hang out in a shantytown of shithouses with thousands of sweaty people who may or may not have just dropped a nugget in their drawers.
10:14 p.m. Whew … Finally inside one of these things. Surprisingly, it stinks worse outside.
10:14 p.m. BTW, the Carl Cox Arena’s bass is rattling this cage so much I feel as though I’m gonna get eaten by a T-Rex like that guy in Jurassic Park.
10:14 p.m. It’s so dark I can’t even see where I’m pointing my junk.
10:36 p.m. Relief!
