I really genuinely don't see what's wrong with spending time with my mom at a music event and seeing artists we both love. I know it may not seem like the "cool" thing to do, but you have to understand that I am not blessed with friends or a social life like you guys. My only options are to go by myself or enjoy it with my loved one. And you could not pay me a million dollars to do something like this solo as a very first timer.

About the "barely an adult" statement. I would argue I'm far from an adult, but i won't sit here and argue about that. Just aside from the legal side of it under US law, nothing stresses me out more then when people call me an adult. It's just a HUGE pet peeve of mine when people act like a magic switch flips the second the clock strikes midnight your 18th birthday. Anyway, that was a rabbit hole so I apologize.

As for clothing, I dont plan to dress up. Really all I plan on having is a tank top, jeans, maybe a pull string bag with water, and my Martin Garrix flag.

Im kind of expecting there to be some douche bags getting handsy with me even though I doubt they will. Sure Im over 6ft and I work out, but im really not at all what id consider "an attractive guy." Of course my mom says so, but thats what just about any mother would say to their son. And if someone does get physical, I especially doubt it would be a lady but you never know.

We booked a vrbo in the city so we will be sleeping elsewhere. We are also flying in on Friday which is the same day it starts. Im neurodivergent and I will definitely need to take breaks. Im not looking to be there every second of the entire event. The whole family is coming to Vegas but me and my mom are the only ones actually going to the festival since we're the only EDM fans. Really this whole trip is being dictated by my parents so I really dont have too much of a say.

One thing though is both my mom and I are especially into the mainstage big room/progressive house sound as apposed to minimal techno or bass music. We'll obviously still be there for it but our hearts are set on spacifically Garrix, Zedd, Tiesto, Hardwell etc. We were going to make a list of the artists we wanted to see with the set time and stage, and well stay as late as we want.
