I was there too. I was also 17, and went with a group of friends and a dad who was an MD that volunteered for the medical building. We met Wyclef Jean who got treated there after burning his hand.
It was quite an experience. Being a relatively sheltered nerd it was pretty mind blowing. Drugs, naked people everywhere, it was like this insane debauchery I had never encountered in my life before.
Everything people say about the mismanagement is true. I've never since seen such a badly managed event. I have no idea how the organizers avoided prison sentences for their neglect.
It was super hot, and you had to pay some insane price just to get a bottle of water. People were literally passed out from dehydration. For food, you could get a bag of fries for like 8 bucks. None of the porta potties were cleaned out after the first day, and there was water flooding all the tent areas. We left a day early cause it got so bad, so I fortunately missed the complete meltdown that happened.
