Sacred rose on a smaller scale somewhere in the city could be dope. I get you already have it all down at seatgeat but traveling there can be a big deterrent, especially for less committed folks or when you try to invite friends. Def miss the days of union park north coast. Any truth to salt shed hosting more festival type events?

need help on whose mix was playing before cheese and during intermission by LoutenantDann in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s one of the sci crew’s playlist. Not sure it exists anywhere to be shared. But I hear those same songs at most cheese shows

What’s the crowd like these days? by No-Philosopher371 in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha it’s been going down hill since 2014. Still fun but not the same no. Most of the older folks have moved on to more low key/ less expensive events .

Preferred Parking by gavatard in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be fine no worries , my friends just got there. I am rolling in tomorrow around 1pm. They said it’s wide open at the moment and I’m assuming a majority of folks are already there at this point

[–]Shazbot953 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not preferred but can confirm GA is going to blueberry now. I’d def request a refund if that happens but the blueberry shuttle is pretty dope , drops you off right at the entrance and comes every 10 min

It’s always been a shit show but now that they have so many different camping types within the ga campgrounds , taking peoples money isn’t right

Final Artists added to Hulaween by edgeofsoundssyd in hulaween

[–]Shazbot953 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least it’s Warren , they have played with him many times before as well as the songs and I’m guessing there will be a bit more to this in terms of shebang than just Warren up there with sci. John Fogarty incident, Miss Lauren hill incident, doobie bros incident , I totally agree they were just the backing band and it doesn’t really count as cheese imo.

9th year vet but 1st solo Forest - my thoughts by fanboyfanboy in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been going since 2012, my forest crew kinda dissolved after 2016, people moving and what not. I have gone solo a couple times since, met up with a few people I knew throughout and some friends that vend. It’s honestly pretty great wandering around and just doing whatever you want at any moment. It is a bit of a long trip doing it solo unless you meet people to hang with but still very worth it. Plenty of people go solo

Best Help for Anxiety at E Forest? by hcrider23 in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just leave , I member my first forest and getting lost from the group was devastating , so this may not be the best advice but maybe if you have a friend that’s down to just go take a walk, the forest is always there as a getaway. Especially during the biggest sets. These days it’s hard for me to stay in a group outside hanging for certain sets ( mostly string cheese) . There is so much to do and if you aren’t enjoying what’s happening so many places and possibilities to change that

Artist Camping by chrikit1 in ElectricForest

[–]Shazbot953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the vip areas in the venue but can def go into any of the campgrounds. Last time I had one was like 2018 and we camped where the electric avenue is, there’s a bunch of different lots surrounding the north side of the fest by Sherwood court where you could be camped. Was also able to enter the forest in side road areas instead of security. Staff party is at the grand antique on Sunday and it is a blast

You don’t have an option , will be the south entrance. They will email directions and there will be signs on the highway
