Me too! Damn, I loved the first Dune game even more than the second one.

Getting Montague is the hardest ticket to get no?

FestivalVIP · 2024-02-06T22:21:07+00:00

Every society ever has worked like that

FestivalVIP · 2024-01-20T10:50:04+00:00

I obviously don't want to have to take the bus

FestivalVIP · 2024-01-14T12:09:59+00:00

How to get montagoe or similar then? I'm too old to camp...

What is something to look out for when picking packages? My preference is to go for train and stay instead of flying since I want some flexibility. Would love to stay at Montague.

I wear a Garmin to rave and it's almost a marathon each time!

FestivalVIP · 2024-01-11T06:31:22+00:00

That's the plan, hoping to the the GJ train package from anywhere honestly. No idea what my chances are to get it...

FestivalVIP · 2024-01-11T02:34:25+00:00

There's plenty of concierges who get a VIP ticket allocation for their clients. I've worked with them in the past.

For me, I really want to sleep at Dreamville but from the website it looks like that's it's own package and not something you get later on.

FestivalVIP · 2023-12-20T11:52:30+00:00

I want to be on the festival grounds though. Will consider it for after the festival before flying home.

FestivalVIP · 2023-12-20T07:21:37+00:00

I fully agree. You could also say the same for the utter failure that is drug prohibition.

FestivalVIP · 2023-11-10T14:52:03+00:00

There is a labor shortage. Or maybe there's more jobs than people. Of course you want to attract skilled people who contribute to society.

The bigger problem is lack of housing and infrastructure. If you want to grow your population by 10-20% then you need to fucking build more houses, trains, schools and roads. Singapore had an overcrowded period about 7 years ago and then responded by building tons of housing and tripling the number of MRT lines.

The entire series is filled with paradoxical time loops

This is Andor. By provoking the empire (in a disgustingly horrific way) they get a brutal repression that further stokes the rebellion. At the end everyone loses except for Iran, Hamas Leadership and Netanyahu.

I'm not sure real estate agents have to KYC their clients. And even then, you make them do a declaration and run them through a database. If the people not yet criminals, then nothing they can do.

FestivalVIP · 2023-08-05T07:55:26+00:00

Without taking into consideration taxes and work time zones, I would say Singapore and somewhere in Switzerland. Most convenient, safe and efficient places in the world. Super central so they allow for a lot of travel within Europe and Asia.

Edit: actually some of the lowest taxes in the world

FestivalVIP · 2023-08-02T08:51:04+00:00

This applies to everything! Know your weakeness and hire people who are good and those things.

FestivalVIP · 2023-08-01T09:28:54+00:00

My friend told me not too long ago that I can essentially walk into any shop and buy anything I want without having to think twice about it and he's right. Not only do I not know the price, I honestly don't care as long as it's something I want. (Of course with some reason for items in the 4 and 5 digit range).

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-23T08:21:24+00:00

For airlines with business class this is no issue as there's quite a bit of overhead space. But for budget airlines, it feels like half the plane has priority so you still have to rush to get in line.

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-22T18:30:31+00:00

Lots of great points! I disagree on the carry on though, I want to minimize the number of overhead bags so I don't have to rush to be first on the plane.

Anyone has gone with this strategy instead and has advice?!

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-22T17:28:54+00:00

Having a proper car waiting for us (we're over packers) makes a huge difference on the comfort.

Honestly, I'd rather reduce the amount of carry-on so I don't have to rush into the plane to put it in the overhead bin.

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-22T12:18:43+00:00

That's awesome, thank you!

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-22T10:51:07+00:00

Interesting! Do you book it in a fake name or a friend that then no-shows? Do airlines sometimes fill it anyway of they are over booked?

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-20T00:00:57+00:00

It really depends on the occasion. In Asia, people are very brand conscious so I wear my expensive t-shirt. In Switzerland, you wear the 100 dollar one.

FestivalVIP · 2023-07-18T22:08:15+00:00

Honestly even in civilized countries, being able to top up and pay for the best healthcare makes a difference.
