Dead Body Found at Gathering of the Vibes Festival Site

does anyone know if this Jay Caliro was formally from York, Maine?
I'm fairly certain it is the Jay I know..haven't seen him since Bread and puppet in the 90's.(where,might I add, someone was beaten to death..at a puppet show in VT...fuct) Really sad if you ask me. No matter what happened, it is sad that bodies are turning up at festivals..it just isn't right. Look out for each other. PEACE

the police are paid off to let this highly criminal activity go on. there are millions of dollars to be made pushing drugs on the festi circuit and it is allowed to go on. these kind of things are bound to happen. the scene is dead- it has been co-opted by government interests who tell ppl who to vote for and crime syndicates who use hippies to sell their product.

yeh, i was there first hand, the body was found next to a pickup truck literally twenty feet away from my tent, i was in my tent with my friends who had just gotten back from partying all night, i think it was around five am, when we too heard people shouting for a medic. i was the only one who got out of my tent to go see what was happening, it was unreal, the body was fucking purple, and i remember this one girl fanning her schedule book at him to get a fly off of him, it was fucked up. idk how people can say they saw his face and it looked like gas was sprayed on it, idk about that...... he was lying face down..... but i remember the guy who discovered the body telling me that he saw purple feet coming out from under the tarp and that is how he found it. and yeh the body was dropped off there, i never saw that dude once anywhere near our campground. i suppose his body could have gotten purple if it had gone through rigor, which is also likely, i think that all the talk about the n20 mafia being involved is mostly speculation. either way, we dont need that fucking gas at our shows, those motherfuckers make thousands off their hippy crack when it costs them so fucking little to get their tanks filled. those nitrous mafia motherfuckers do NOT come to see music, they come to sell gas, and be douchebags. the bring a violent energy to our scene that is not needed, and i think that it would save some custys a lot of their fucking money that could be better spent on better drugs, ie. lsd.
NEVER HUFF GAS UNLESS IT IS FREE AND UNLIMITED

people, that raveralice chick is just a dumb bitc. please don't generalize "ravers" the way she is generalizing "hippies". i prefer electronic music over jam bands, and i go to raves frequently. to say that electronic music is heartless and soulless is just ignorant. do you have any idea what goes into producing a track? or how many different kinds of electronic music there are? don't get me wrong, i love acoustic music as well (pink floyd is my favorite band), but there are only so many notes and chords you can play with an instrument and only so much you can say in words. with computers you can create new sounds and experiment your musical creativity so much deeper. i'm not knocking on your music, i'm just saying other people like to jam out a different way. i attended an electronic music festival over the weekend which also had rediculous amounts of drugs available, but there were no "mafias" harassing people or causing a ruckus. there were plenty of sober people with their kids or dogs just taking in the sun and the music and the energy. you hippies are all about not judging people, and then you make judgments about the rave scene. we're like hippies who like technology... it's 2009, are you really going to listen to the same classic rock forever?

there needs to be more lsd and more drugs handed out for free, especially free lsd. drugs are part of an effort to expand conciousness, they are neither bad nor good. violence and greed are ugly. community and intellect are beautiful. read books, create art, listen to elders and teach the youth.
RIP Jay

My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. If there was any foul play I am sure the family will know- the funeral home, the autopsy will tell them the truth about the conditi0n of the body. A 29 yr old has died- there is NOTHING natural about someone dying at such a young age. The family should speak out and make sure there is justice. I was at the Vibes two days but I did not camp because I am local. It is a shame if there was a cover-up. Someone's loved ones are suffering so much. I can't imagine it would be easy for them to hear such stories and theories about the last hours of his life or the pain he might have been in.

I was camping at Vibes this year, and I didn't hear anything about a death until after I got home. The chances of a death occurring increase as the number of people at your festival increase, especially when drugs are involved. Bonnaroo averages out to about a death a year. At bonnaroo this year, someone was found dead in his tent after most everyone had left, probably from natural causes. I always hate to hear these things happen, but it's a lot worse when these rumors are spread about it.

My car was thouroughly searched on the way in to Vibes, even inside our coolors, and bags, and I'd imagine it would be pretty hard to smuggle a tank in. I did hear quite a few cops and Vibes staff talking about busting nitrous tanks and shady balloon salesmen all weekend. Despite all of the precautions taken by Vibes, every morning there were still piles and piles of balloons on the ground (at $5 each). Tanks are a nuissance and a waste of money. Please keep laughing gas away from our festivals!

Everybody is so quick to bash concert-goers, and 'dirty hippies' I wonder how many dead bodies were found this weekend in Bridgeport alone, and I wonder how many of those deaths were related to drugs.

Smurf-- will you please contact me re what you saw at concert?

what i don't get is how tons of people there are so 'dedicated' to the dead but sell ketamine and heroin and shit.. did jerry tell everyone to do this? you can still be into music and not be a sketchball
