i was lucky enough to go to the phish show here june 16th, 2010 despite my problems preventing travel this summer. one of the cool thing about this venue is that there is an rv lot that allows parking all night. obviously this is the shakedown lot. it was fairly wide open with some presence by undercovers but little interference, i did hear of ABC busting one girl for selling beer while the show was going on. this is always a problem at virginia shows but usually happens when lots are less crowded, earlier during the day or when the show is happening. It was never cleared after the show, and there was a surprising lack of nitrous for an east coast show. The whole time it was mostly peaceful despite the prevalence of alcohol and drugs and lack of law enforcement. There was one fight between some pizza vendors toward the end of the night which was quickly broken up by other heads, probably related to the ongoing french bread pizza mafia turf wars. we here at roots vision design endorse lot mafia diplomacy and an end to the bloodshed. just kidding. we think gdf should rule lot with an iron fist, you damn hippies. -a salami lake um, ed523
went there for furthur in february. small venue, the lot was directly behind it. it raged for a long time after blowout, i don't think the cops ever even cleared it. the best western is right next to the venue, get a room there if you can. you can literally stumble there from the lot if need be. north carolina has this ALE thing thats been know to use underhanded tricks like using tree stands and night vision to bust people smoking pot in their tents at, say, smilefest or harassing random people for standing too close to easy-ups in asheville. i guess they weren't in attendance.
Deer Creek was cool until it was purchased by Verizon about 4 years ago.
There are roadblocks a-plenty following the show, because if there wasn't a venue in the county of Hamilton, Indiana, the inhabitants would quite literally all collapse and die of severe boredom.
If you're lucky enough to visit the housing community that caters to criminals (jail, stupid), you'll find (at phish shows, anyway) that the good officers have customized the holding tank and dorm A just for you. The holding tank is now called 'the phish tank' and cell block A is completely emptied in order to sustain all the busts made during that particular show/run.
