The Original Carl at Rothbury

We were in the Sherwood Forest at Rothbury and this guy on Acid or something like that sits down with a blanket over his head.

We were all in a Pumpkin Tent thing and some lady was like "Where's Carl??" referring to a joke about how no one there at the festival was named Carl.

I then pointed at the freaked out guy and said "THAT'S CARL RIGHT THERE!!!" and then everyone started yelling at him, chanting his name, and singing a song about him.

After sometime we all got up for a group picture when we were all singing and we wanted Carl in the middle. Carl just fucking stood up and ran out into the night. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still tripped out and lost in the woods.

Everyone in the Sherwood Forest heard us screaming Carl for about an hour and we walked around screaming Carl all day and usually people would scream it back.

There's a little bit of Carl in all of us, may Carl be with you.


CARL!!!

I do believe the chants started before this video, but you guys all just found the most fucked up person you could, and dubbed him Carl. They were looking for him all weekend. Thanks for posting the video Anyway!! Good ass fuckin weekend.

I personally didn't hear anything about a Carl until this point. And I was in the Woods every night chilling.

It might not of been the exact 'birth' of Carl but it was definitely the point where it blew up.

What happened in this video literally went on for 45 more minutes to be hallowed through the woods.

sorry dude. im in this video. I was there smoking the opium with that huge crazy lady. She was talking about the same shit before that.. Apparently the previous night in the same spot some dudes were saying no one at the concert is named carl. so as a joke a bunch of people made a bet they could find carl before the other and then we all started screaming carl. the only carl i found was there entire time in the anonymous vegetable.

[Stikkums]

I suppose that makes sense. I saw that same lady the night afterwards too. All I know is that I pointed to that dude and started screaming Carl at him. I'll edit the story then.

His name isn't even Carl by the way, I never figured it out. He said his name was Winner Money.

Anyways that shit was still funny as fuck.

I heard it first at Phil Lesh too, I'm not sure when it started(although it sounds like someone yelled for carl right after Dave came on stage if you listen to the recording) but I am sure the guy who posted this video is full of shit. Just wants to be "that guy" who started it, it is funny shit, who cares who started it.

[Stikkums]

This happened shortly after Dave. Well a few hours, it was on the way back from Crystal Method.

How am I full of shit when you have video evidence right here of Carl being born. Part of it also is showing people what Carl actually is.

[psychedelicbrian]

wow. pointing, laughing, and flashing lights at someone out of their mind on drugs is pretty fucking lame.

[colecut]

before you ever even said "that's carl right there" you can clearly hear an entire forest of people shouting for carl....

nice try dude.

@Stikkums My friends (on a shit ton of molly) "found" (probably stole it) a bunch of ice cream, and they were wondering around handing it out to people, asking if anyone had seen carl. After about 45 mins, they got to sherwood, and my other incredibly drunken friend started yelling for carl. And thus, it began.

[N30NZ0MB13]

No, Carl is Carl Alm. I feel bad for that kid.

[blondieexx21]

he's still in those woods

[MrJas1991]

HAHAHAHA CARL! NOOOO!!!! COME BACK!

[miremay]

the search for carl started in 08'

[alexalynnx33]

I was at 10,000 lakes festival and there was the biggest trooper in a wheelchair that was dubbed Carl.

[drawde7]

Hell yeah. was at Rothbury 09 and i was in the forest when that started and i got everyone in our section of forest screamin fer carl. Its good to see the actual REAL carl.

[chronicdryeye]

Carl is when you are on every drug at the same time.

[yarblockers]

Ya, the dude asked about Carl and a bunch of people started yelling Carl when you did because the whole Carl thing had already been started a long time ago. Don't think you are so special

[TAMMpON]

I blazed with Carl again @ rothbury in 2009!
