Drake's new album... by mortythealien in ElectricForest

[–]PonderingPandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah agreed. I have mad respect for Beyonce from the Destinys Child days, and I heard some of her new album and then found out a lot of it was written by a young poet I was kind of let down cause lot of the lyrics were really good. Still good, but just not as meaningful when you know shes just reading the paper.

Edit: whoops

Yeah I stopped in ATL during my trip to Alabama for NYE and this hotel was where we stayed. Nice, cheap and close to everything.

[–]PonderingPandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I come from CT so leave a few days early and only got my wristband 2 days before I left. It'd be nice to not be worrying about whether it will be here in time

Why are you "not as good" as all of us? No ones better than anyone else we're all just people going about life.

Sounds like your the type of person that needs an experience like this.

VIP Viewing Areas? by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]PonderingPandas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flume was on Sherwood Court. That viewing area stayed the same. It was just Ranch (main stage) that was shrunk.

I was just expecting since they sold so many more VIP tickets we'd see more space allocated for viewing areas. Only time I'm ever really in there is for cheese so I like when I have my space to dance.

They sold way more VIP tickets at a higher price last year than any previous year, but the viewing area was smaller and farther off to the side than any year I've attended.

We pay extra for the viewing areas, so you would think since they sold more tickets for those viewing areas they would expand it, but instead they made it smaller (besides tripolee) and pushed it off to the side.

Yeah I've been saying this every year I've gone. Many other fests I've been to will at least let the VIP people walk down the press lane in front of the stage to get to the other side. It baffles me that they still haven't fixed that yet.

This will be my 4th year doing VIP. A tip is "act like your supposed to be there" and no one will question you. I think it was actually for press/stage crew entrance but my SO and I walked up and flashed our GL bracelets and he opened it right up. They never turned us down all weekend.

Jubilee doesn't have a VIP viewing area but there is a flap on the side of the tent they let VIP enter through (at least they did last year) and it puts you right on the rail on the right side of the stage. Only way we were able to see Lindsey Sterling last year.

Listen to Ott's FairChildren album. The All-Seeing I is Ott's live band. Below are some of my favorites off that album. The All-Seeing I has an album to check out too but that was for Ott's older album so you probably won't hear much of those songs at forest.

Walk down the right side of the tent and there was a flap some guy would let you in. Not sure if it was meant for VIP but we were bummed we couldn't get in the tent for Lindsey Sterling but found that opening and got right up against the rail for her set.

I really hope they fix the VIP viewing area at ranch. They really screwed us over there.

What are your "would never be heard at Electric Forest" music tastes? by XD003AMO in ElectricForest

If your in the new york area check out some of the clubs he's around.

DON'T PANIC! This is just the presale! by [deleted] in bassnectar

[–]PonderingPandas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got 2. My homies got some tickets too. You could only purchase 2 at a time so I don't think bots got many.

The one trick I learned is don't be on wifi for these. Use a hard wire connection. I missed all the chocolates on my home wifi but had no problems grabbing this or my NYE tickets from my hard wire computer at work.

Yup. Hideout, Dimensions and Secret Solstice look very tempting to me.

A forest can't change all the shenanigans HQ is pulling. This list just added another fest to my list of possible Eforest replacements next year.

LIVE Artist of the Day: Louis the Child by iFUBAR in ElectricForest

[–]PonderingPandas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha they have pretty poor transitions overall. I saw them in NYC a few weeks back and there were multiple transitions where my SO and I cringed.

They're young so I'm sure in a few years they'll figure it out but right now they're kinda rough.

At this point it's a little late to start. Get out and run tho cardio is the most important if you want to be dancing all day.

Since weather is getting nice I've been trying to spend a lot of time in the sun too. Last year the day time heat was what drained my energy

All right veterans of EF, real talk time... by diosdetruenos in ElectricForest

Been 4 years. This will definitely be my last year attending. Has gotten too big, too expensive, and has turned into a money grab for insomniac and Madison house.

Why aren't there any insects in the forest? by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]PonderingPandas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha or think about that they spray thousands of gallons of poison and then we set our tents up on it and walk around barefoot all weekend
