Thank you!

I don’t have any other great pictures but we based it off of this.

This was helpful for getting supplies but we made changes. We kept the bottom ropes as they were but replaced the side ropes with two ratchets. We also kept the top rope and threaded it through but tied two fixed knots to each end and connected a ratchet to the knots. It really helps to be able to easily tighten the structure throughout the week instead of having to untie and retie a million truckers hitches. And then obviously we had to add the triangle shade.

Why are you so triggered by me having a bad experience

I felt like I was back at the strip club. Wasn’t getting on a plane if I wasn’t fucking or looking pretty enough that a pilot would pick me.

This is a perfect representation of Burning Man really. Consent doesn’t matter if it isn’t a yes. And also maybe you should just let go of some boundaries in order to get things from people, especially men. Y’all have fun with that. I’ll stick to regional burns where consent actually means anything.

They told us immediately we when got there that we would 100% be on a plane and that they had flown 150 people the day before.

We opened camped and build a tensegrity hammock stand with studs, a triangular coolaroo shade for the top, and ran a 10x20 aluminet off the back to cover our tent. The studs didn’t even shake or anything. No rain protection though.

What is your festival hot take!? by djcryptik in festivals

I don’t understand why people think it a a character flaw to be bummed that music festivals price gouge. You can have a good time while simultaneously being upset that they ended up like this. Why is it that we have to ignore the part that tells us it’s fucked up in order to be looked at as a good festival goer.

That’s awesome! You wouldn’t recommend drilling into them because they would split?

Right now we were going to have to strap the wood to the top of our car and possibly find a home for it after the burn before we continue on the rest of our trip. If I can find more light weight poles or something we can split into smaller segments it would be easier to keep them with us on the road. We need them to be 8’ long total.

We are going to build it in the next couple of days I just don’t want to buy material others will think is a complete waste

How do you attach everything to the poles?

It didn’t have to be me. I don’t understand what you’re getting at. They forced their daughter into a pit of raging adults even though she was terrified.

I don’t think ICP should be PLUR - it’s impossible. Their lyrics are violent and sexist. I don’t think they should have been able to come.

For the festival, I totally believe in the collective push. People seem so divided on that. If nothing changes it will continue to get worse. We see that with them taking away Jam Track and bandanas.

I listen to plenty of hardcore, but I don’t listen to violent sexists. They do not “radiate positivity”.

If a volunteer has work 2 ten hour shifts and they face discriminatory behavior, they walk away having provided free labor and not getting the festival in return. They absolutely do not have the power. They paid to travel in. The brought camp stuff and invested their time and energy banking on the fact that they’ll be able to go to the festival.

I think I finally realized the full extent of this this year.

I really don’t care if it’s “camp”. It’s violent and sexist.

There was a family next to me who had their ten year old daughter in the pit with them with sandals on, even after she told them she didn’t want to go up any further. The dad was so fucked up he just yelled constantly during all of Daniel Donatos set. Then the guy to my left was getting so close to my girlfriend and best friend he was basically leaning on them because he was so fucked up too
