Many jam fans were surprised that promoter Michael Lang booked Watkins Glen International for his Woodstock 50 event, the same location where Phish’s cancelled Curveball festival was set to occur. But perhaps no one was as shocked as 23-year-old Trevor Wingo, who has been living at Watkins Glen since Curveball’s August 2018 cancellation.

Wingo, who prefers to be called Poster Nutsack, explains, “I got here early and bought Glen Close camping, so I was set to have a great spot for Curveball. When it got cancelled, I didn’t have the heart to leave.”

Wingo’s luck changed when he received a text from a friend detailing the Woodstock 50 lineup.

“Now that we’re only five months out I figured I might as well stick around,” he shrugs, while sipping a lukewarm Miller Lite at his Watkins Glen campsite. “I’ve never seen Santana before.”

Wingo says he survived the site’s frigid winter temperatures by making grilled cheese and throwing “one man ditch parties.”
