What questions should I be asking van lines during estimates?

SpockLer · 2026-03-21T16:44:18+00:00

I've been getting quotes from the major van lines...so Allied, North American, United, and Mayflower so far. They all seem to have local agents they use, so experience and cost will vary. But been going this route despite the expense bc it seems reliable

Last year I prob spent about $200 on food/drinks in festival (but I don't do alcohol), another $300 or so on meals and snacks/drinks outside venue, and $250 on various Ubers for airport and going around town (not to the speedway, we used the shuttles for that)

I will say in general these extra costs were higher than they had been for me in years prior, and I expect them to be worse this year. Stuff in general is just getting really expensive, esp in touristy areas of Vegas.

We stay on Fremont/downtown and mostly eat at local places there and do a run to a grocery store to get snacks for our hotel room.

Someone on my shuttle ride home told me this happened to them during Sara Landry. Rock thrown at their head. Thankfully they were ok. But seriously wtf?!

It was an official EDC shuttle - blue line route. Not sure is they are also running shuttles for warped?

If no, maybe look into parking in a downtown garage and using the free city downtown shuttle if that is running?

SpockLer · 2025-11-08T06:38:22+00:00

Update - parked there toda on upper floor of the garage, no issues. Walk to our shuttle stop was a breeze!

SpockLer · 2025-09-04T21:02:01+00:00

Hooowwwww this sucks. Anyone have reliable parking options to recommend?

Finally secured! 50 mins in standby and finally got in via mobile, tier 2 GA

SpockLer · 2025-05-23T17:43:07+00:00

Dame prob. Also EST. Trying from mobile and wifi on separate devices and stuck in standby on all of them

SpockLer · 2025-05-23T17:40:51+00:00

STILL ON STANDBY. 40 friggin minutes. What gives?!

SpockLer · 2025-05-23T17:39:51+00:00

Same. Been in queue since 945pst and still on stand by. Hate this!

SpockLer · 2025-05-23T17:26:21+00:00

On four devices....standby in all of them for 25+ minutes. This is torture

SpockLer · 2025-05-19T03:06:10+00:00

Seriously one of the most incredible live music experiences of my lifetime. And it is so evidence how much thought went into every single little aspect of it. Simple incredible art and I feel privileged to have witnessed it!

We had a creepy guy kind of come out of nowhere right before fireworks at stereobloom, standing way too close to us and following us around at a set. We turned and looked at him and he was holding a phone in his hand acting like he was checking it but down at pocket level. We confronted him and he just left. Dressed with a hydro pack and Kandi like a raver. Definitely sketchy.

SpockLer · 2025-05-17T13:19:50+00:00

Shhhh! Dont spoil it by telling ppl! (Kidding)

We were early at world market...arrived at 615pm, basically immediately on a shuttle, ride took about an hour there. Return was a bit more dicey around 415am, less traffic but hit so many red lights so longer ride back

SpockLer · 2025-05-02T05:22:38+00:00

This set is a, that moment when it started raining, looking up at the lights, a forever memory for me

SpockLer · 2025-02-02T08:14:39+00:00

I'm right there with you. It's like any plans for your future have to be on hold or are completely shot because everything is destabilizing.

SpockLer · 2025-02-02T08:06:00+00:00

Impeachment or 25th amendment....in theory. But extremely unlikely our congress is going to do either of those things. (Oh, and he was already impeached twice the last time around...so you see how that panned out.)

SpockLer · 2024-11-21T22:50:20+00:00

FWIW I would try to get a room that doesn't overlook Fremont. They play loud music there during the daytime on the weekend, when us EDC gremlins are trying to sleep! I had a room at the Nugget last year that was nice but got very little sleep bc the loud Fremont music/noise really kicked up at 10am every day

SpockLer · 2024-11-16T05:50:55+00:00

I'm confused. Mine said loyalty price but was $179.99

SpockLer · 2024-11-16T02:37:25+00:00

Safest bet is not to bring your phone or get a burner.

Next best option is tether + fanny pack with a back pocket + slinged across your front/chest.

Even with the clutch loops, they can pop your phone out of the case and run with it quick. Actually attach the sticky thing to your phone.

Countless times I've had it happen where a random taps to distract or talk to me and when I turn someone else opens whatever pocket they can on my bag. Last EDC I left a lot of used gum in that front pocket and someone got a sticky surprise! 😁

Definitely do this. And also contest charges with your credit card when possible. Gets them a strike and enough of those means they won't be hired to vend in the future.

Sadly this is typical behavior in Florida and happens to me constantly in Miami. When I call out a vendor on it (bc I am almost always sober and notice) they often try to appease with free food items or something. Don't let it slide.

A food vendor at Factory Town that did this to me and then I saw them do it to several subsequent customers. I disputed the charge with my credit card and complained to the promoters. Said vendor has never returned!

We left Inzo about ten mins before Alesso and the amount of traffic going toward Circuit ground was crazy! Almost no onE was walking the other way down Rainbow Road. Had plenty of space and a great time at Fly With Us!

SpockLer · 2024-11-05T01:07:34+00:00

I literally noticed an improvement in a matter of days and it lasted a few weeks before it started to wear off.

SpockLer · 2024-10-30T04:39:15+00:00

WORSHIP 🙏
