If you're one of the intrepid many heading towards Mysteryland this weekend, you'll be treading upon sacred ground. Bethel Woods was the site of Woodstock '69, where your grandparents went to get weird and counterculturalism entered the mainstream. If you're going, you have an obligation to continue this tradition.As most of you will be camping on festival grounds (appropriately named The Holy Grounds), here's a few tips on how to make your campground afterparty the kind of rager you'll be too embarrassed to tell your grandkids about.Sure, people come home from festivals with souvenirs all the time - a branded beer mug, perhaps a hoodie or a curable rash. All of these things are easily lost and/or forgotten. You know what you'll never forget? A baby. A baby that you made rolling around in the mud, staying warm after the main stage turns down. You could name it Bethelia or Fedde. Young Thugfucker would be the coolest kid in kindergarten. Your parents might be the progeny of Woodstock sexy times yourself and look how well that turned out!
