Revisiting My First Journey Into The Madness
As the BBN prepares for three days of Madness surrounding Memorial Coliseum, I’d like to look back at my first, and only attempt to conquer Campout. It was 2013, the 40-0 talks had already begun, but more importantly, I saw a side of the fan base I had never seen before. I spin a mean yarn, attempting to emulate the late-great Hunter S. Thompson. It actually kind of worked – over the summer, this essay helped me win the first scholarship from The Gonzo Foundation, a non-profit headed by Thompson’s widow, Anita. So if you like a wild and crazy tale, this is the story for you.
As you will see, even without the torrential downpours, Big Blue Madness Campout is not for the faint of heart.
