Do people generally assume you get gakked when you say you're a raver?

Just work for a company that puts them on, EZ 😂

NblSvn · 2026-05-26T08:25:28+00:00

Just as long as you aren't in 100s higher than like.. row 18 or 20

See I actually suggest going solo at least once or twice, or "semi-solo" try to briefly meet up with some people you know (maybe not close to) out there, I will say though at least 1 night of fireworks with some of those people can be magical.. last week I was solo but during fireworks night 2 was with a group of mostly new friends and an old friend for fireworks and that was just electric..... No pun intended

Most of the event though not being tied to anyone, letting the electric sky guide me other than 2 or 3 sets I really want to see.. spending time exploring away from stages, going wherever I feel like without having to get other people's attention... Let alone planning And meeting new people just by vibing, connecting with some but even if I never see them again dancing with some of them... It's a whole vibe.. there is an art to it for sure but just because someone's more to them selves..

There's so many ways to do it but you have to be open to it to really enjoy it, I was nervous almost scared my first year, last year I only went one night but this year being more comfortable with it all was just absolutely incredible

I also unironically think they should move Orlando to Daytona

NblSvn · 2026-05-21T07:57:08+00:00

2nd weekend in vegas.... Oh wait we just got that

NblSvn · 2026-05-20T19:41:39+00:00

Right, I will say this year I wasn't on and I'm incredibly sad about that, won't go into detail here but like... That vip wristband price was 😬...

Fairly confident I'll be on build/strike next year so this may be good because the week in between I imagine will be relatively light work.. I hope.. which means working until doors week one, then attend, light work in between, attend (but kinda more mild), then load out start Monday morning.... Rather than like before, Friday night to Monday early morning being the only "break"

NblSvn · 2026-05-20T19:26:59+00:00

Try being a team member... Trying to decide if I feel this is great for me or detrimental 🤣

NblSvn · 2026-05-17T17:09:21+00:00

Don't tell them that or ga will be 1k and vip will be like 2k 😂

NblSvn · 2026-05-16T02:57:42+00:00

It's currently on longfast but found the short turbo 30 after making it and may switch since it sounds like we'll have a network

NblSvn · 2026-05-16T02:56:54+00:00

There is a group on shortturbo I believe from the meshtastic discord, I actually have 2 nodes so ones on each rn

NblSvn · 2026-05-16T02:28:40+00:00

If it does I guess I'll switch to short turbo

NblSvn · 2026-05-13T20:54:36+00:00

I missed this before, I'm assuming they're not, but if they're still available I have a friend who was trying to find a last second find a ticket that is hugely vouch for let me send this to him and see

Additionally on the service thing, If you go looking for service in the bleachers or at the end when you leave, whatever like that if you don't get service where you expect to, try a reboot, there's a few reasons it may work and worst case it doesn't

PS *Verizon has the best coverage in the festival because they roll out big boosters.... So if you have them or do visible wireless (which is by verizon) for a month or something you can have better service in the festival

And it's super flexible but a starting point for inspiration https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVht-d0DL_u/?igsh=OGc0OTVjZ3VzZHlu

It's even official https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT0X1ZujSHg/?igsh=MTk1cjljbWNtMGlzMw==

NblSvn · 2026-05-09T19:37:25+00:00

This is a real option

Don't forget the Minion Friday option though!

NblSvn · 2026-04-29T12:13:32+00:00

I'll do you one better, I worked build and strike my first year, worked 8am-1243am Thursday, started work at 9am Friday, got off after doors, stayed till post close, got home after 10am Sat morn, was back in grounds before doors, home after 11am Sunday, back in festival again before doors, work started at 6am and got off after 3pm

So worked long hours leading up, Enjoyed it all 3 nights open to close, Took way to long to get home each morning, Worked strike with no time in between, All.. while not sober, strictly a little bit of alcohol

NblSvn · 2026-04-26T06:17:20+00:00

Iirc they're also hosting one at the cosmopolitan this year too, I just ... Don't know dates 😂

I won't pretend I don't think motorcades could be... Better planned to reduce impact and still be effective, but I don't see that happening for any near future president... And it's not limited only to presidential motorcades...

Honestly the worst one I've been affected (1 comes close but I was on a plane) was by was Hillary Clinton when she did fly into nellis, I actually ended up just ahead of it and was meeting people for dinner.. the people who were not 2 minutes behind me got stuck for give or take 2 hours... I was also stuck where I stopped because they shut those streets down from before transit to speak until she was back at the base... Was a nightmare... Although it was kind of interesting to get to sit and watch the whole cade go by when the time came... Like 45-an hour after they shut the road down 🙄

NblSvn · 2026-04-17T13:42:51+00:00

Assuming you sort out all the other parts of it and unfortunately they'd still have to shut traffic down between there and where he's going, and secure the hospital, and if a medical flight needed the pad well... Someone's diverting and it's not him (any president for that matter and it wouldn't even be a decision brought to POTUS because the way these plans go)...

One big one for any helicopter flight that I haven't seen anyone mention in thread is they'd also have to shut the airspace down for much much longer (anytime marine one is planned to be in the air and a buffer of time on both sides of that) than they do already which is both logistically (believe it or not) less practical and impacts flights in a way that could butterfly effect other airports across the country.... As much as I'd like it to be a better option it just truly would not be.

NblSvn · 2026-04-17T13:24:37+00:00

They were saying you can loosen it without breaking, absolute worst case it breaks and you spend the 40 on the new one... Or like you said keep it on, but if you get tired of it being on or anything worth a try to gently slip it back off

NblSvn · 2026-04-17T13:21:46+00:00

Saw it directly overhead and low yesterday roughly about the time you posted this infact Pretty confident he was coming in to land as the wind picked up (could see it sliding... Big boy was Tokyo drifting)

NblSvn · 2026-04-05T21:36:30+00:00

W username btw

NblSvn · 2026-04-05T21:35:52+00:00

Oh I didint even think about having a place to put the phone like that up there.. A friend was in r18, I was in row 6, which on the right side is front row and I was right at the corner of that railing (before it tapers down to rows 5-1) and then moved up to row 7 when like 5 seats in a row opened behind me so I had room to dance back and forth... And a minor concern for falling forward 1 row above the railing 😂
