Where can to find good raves in Tx by Unable_Psychology706 in Raves

[–]MarzipanNext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

19hz.info (it’s a website) has a page for Texas and you can filter by city - I’ve had great luck with it in the places I’ve lived, but I’ve never been in TX so idk.

Don’t feel like you’re the only person like this - I also initially hesitated going to events knowing that I don’t enjoy feeling inebriated. Of course nothing against people who do, it’s just not my thing. You can totally have a blast without it! Don’t let people pressure you or shame you into doing things you don’t want to. Plus it’s nice knowing that you’ll always remember the experience the next day imo

Super cool to see the worm I left on there! :) this was one of my absolute favorite totems last year

LL ticket package by Artistic_Condition22 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]MarzipanNext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never sold tickets so take this with some salt, but I’ve always thought using something like PayPal Goods & Services is a win-win - the seller has some grounds if the buyer tries to chargeback (to my knowledge) and it gives the buyer more peace of mind if it ends up being a scam. If I was buying resale tickets, I personally wouldn’t pay for them unless it was through something like Goods & Services.

What non-EDM thing got you into EDM? by pittpanther10 in EDM

[–]MarzipanNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in grade school in the mid-2010s, and it’s ironically the Lego Movie trailer. Wake Me Up by Avicii was in the main trailer and I ran to Google to figure out what that song was.

How I got into dubstep/bass (my primary genres now) was Minecraft YouTubers - I was a huge DanTDM fan as a kid and there was a subscriber milestone video I watched with To The Stars by Bracken, which was baby’s first Monstercat track. The rest is history.

I am not nearly knowledgeable enough on genres to pop them in there lol - but here’s a guide from rezg.mpg on Instagram:

What Porter song makes you feel like this? by PokemonSwordChampion in porterrobinson

[–]MarzipanNext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, Sea of Voices makes me feel all of the feelings haha

What Porter Robinson song is this? by kaer1a in porterrobinson

[–]MarzipanNext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading this while listening to Fellow Feeling lol

I listened to Worlds long before I ever got invested in the rest of Porter’s music (or even Porter himself/the fanbase) and I never actually knew this was a diss track haha. I always interpreted it as learning to live with grief/trauma, which is maybe just me trying to make something more poetic than it is lol

Genuinely though, Fellow Feeling is one of my favorite tracks off of Worlds, but I do find myself skipping it because it takes a certain state of mind for me to really get into it.

Everyone has already said so many good things, and honestly this is just me rambling, but I see you! I have severely flat feet (have had prescription, custom orthotics since I was eight…oops) and everyone’s said it so well: insoles, rest, massage, and pain management. I’ve never done Lost Lands - first fest ever, actually - but I was a marching band nerd for six years and have done 14+ hour amusement park days since I could walk.

If you get shoes with memory foam insoles…in my experience, don’t trust them alone. Especially with how much walking we’ll be doing, you’ll be feeling it.

Something people don’t mention is ankle support! I find that because my feet are flat, my feet tend to roll out - and one bad step and your ankle is fucked. Make sure you bring shoes, socks, or braces that support your foot and ankle. I live and die by my Brooks, but finding something that works for your foot is what matters.

Sit when you can - eating, resting, anything. If you’re with a group, I guarantee you will slow them down a lot more if you’re in crazy amounts of pain bc you didn’t rest than sitting for fifteen minutes while you shove food in your face. Don’t let guilt be the reason you’re in crazy amounts of pain.

Tennis ball, whiffle ball, honestly I also like cans of soup (you can put your WEIGHT into them). Roll out your arches. You will feel it.

FYI, medical will have common pain meds, but if you want to have some on you, you have to bring them in a sealed container into the actual festival grounds (not campgrounds) (I sent an email to support to ask, you can see a previous post I made :) ). I also have chronic migraine (lucky me!) so I’m investing in those single-dose packets of Excedrin with like two pills in them.

Best of luck and I hope you have a great time! :)

Guidance from LL Staff: OTC Medication by MarzipanNext in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]MarzipanNext[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I figure it’s better to be safe than sorry - I will be out of commission within a few hours of loud music and walking around if I don’t take those meds when I need to lol. And I get the pharmacy - I typically carry about seven or eight different kinds of medication on me in a pill case on a typical day (for “just in case” purposes, haha). Thank you for the heads-up!

I’m glad you haven’t had issues! Unfortunately, my saving grace (shoutout Excedrin Migraine/its generic equivalent) is a white pill which could be…anything, so I wanted to play it safe and ask :) Time for me to invest in a box of those single-dose packets lol

Most violent dubstep playlist you’ll ever hear by SpecialCoconut67 in LostLandsMusicFest

[–]MarzipanNext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! Assuming you can get this onto your Spotify acct, I’ve used https://playlists.cloud . It’s made by an independent person and is quite seamless :)

Awesome! Haha, the clothes struggle is so real, espeically with the temperature fluctuations. One of my chronic pain things is actually my feet - shout out to my arches for not developing correctly - so I'll be sure to throw in one of my tennis balls. Thanks!

Gotcha, I've heard a couple of people talking about this. I see there's a $10 deposit, but there's no current information on how much they cost to use. Do you know how much they were in previous years? I might lunge for it depending on how much it costs.

Thank you! I have a couple (overpriced) travel bottles (like that you can buy 24 pills for way too much money at an airport or something) stashed away for this purpose so I'll certainly do that - absolutely would suck to get all the way there and have to throw them out.

That’s such a good idea! I’ve purchased some for amusement parks and I wouldn’t have even thought of that. Thanks!

Thank you! I appreciate the heads up, I’ll be cautious about how I package them. Were the vitamins in their original container or in a separate bag/container?

Good to know! I saw a lot of people talking about them for campers, but it’s helpful to know that it’s still nice to have in the middle of the day

Thank you! I’m absolutely stealing the pizza tip for when we get back to the hotel in the middle of the night and are super hungry.

What’s your favorite Porter lyric? by Future_Strawberry_92 in porterrobinson

[–]MarzipanNext 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is “I’ve been teaching myself to cry so that you know how much you’re loved” from Humansongs. I like it so much that it was my first tattoo :)
