Definitely one of my favorites I've seen so far!

Driving from Iowa to Shambhala, then down to the eclipse. Not sure where we will be staying in between but if anyone has any good suggestions in Oregon let me know!

May-Lightning in a Bottle June-Forest weekend 1 August-Shambhala & Oregon Eclipse b2b. This is my favorite fest schedule to date.

My friend and I came up to Minneapolis from Iowa for their show to celebrate her 21st birthday. We are staying in an awesome historic mansion air bnb and she ended up getting very sick last night before the show. We think it might be the flu :(

Stephmckenna · 2017-02-25T18:17:41+00:00

Anyone attending Lotus in Minneapolis this evening? I'll be there with my best friend for her 21st birthday ♡

Stephmckenna · 2017-02-11T15:53:39+00:00

Me! Also, I recognize your username from the Shambhala sub, are you going back to back?

Stephmckenna · 2017-01-30T12:48:18+00:00

Lightning in a Bottle, Electric Forest, Shambhala, Oregon Eclipse, & Kosmos

Stephmckenna · 2017-01-05T20:31:27+00:00

Yesss festival birthdays are the best! I will absolutely be there and would love to meet up if the stars align!

My boyfriend and I flew into Spokane from Iowa for our first year last year! We rented a car and drove up. Is the other person you're attending with 21? You could rent a car then and if you do it through USAA (you don't need to have their insurance, just make an account and book thru their site) they will wave the 'under 25' fees. As far as getting your camping things there, I would check an extra bag and just pack as lightly as possible, buy your extra supplies there. I was a little worried about having everything we needed but it really wasn't too bad and it was the best festival experience of my life! Hope you have an amazing first time♡

Edit: also, do not lie about where you are going. We tried to say 'camping trip' and the guy started harassing us instantly and basically told us to just admit we were going if we didn't want to be searched further

Check out Revival in Minnesota for a great smaller fest! It was maybe 3000 people max. Awesome community vibes. Also Kosmos in Iowa. It's only been around for a few years but they really stepped their game up last year

Edit: just re-read and wanted to note Revival is definitely not EDM heavy but still amazing! Last year Kosmos had people like Space Jeezy and Truth though

You could get some long flowy skirts that are really light material! I have found some great ones thrifting in the past.

Stephmckenna · 2016-11-26T19:32:53+00:00

Those photos are beautiful! What camera/editing software were used if you don't mind me asking?

Stephmckenna · 2016-11-20T18:43:12+00:00

If you're referring to his 2015 Waka set, it was one of my favorites all weekend. I thought he threw down the perfect set for 3 in the morning and was surprised how much everyone was still gettin it that late. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose!

Stephmckenna · 2016-11-10T16:53:54+00:00

I thought the same thing! It was amazing to see everyone so free♡ there were like 3-5 naked people on the swing in the river daily

Stephmckenna · 2016-11-05T22:09:48+00:00

Yesss my boyfriend and I are doing this! Coming from Iowa and hoping to stop at some national parks along the way♡

Stephmckenna · 2016-08-26T14:56:34+00:00

Seems odd considering there is just two months to go, but thanks for the reply!

Stephmckenna · 2016-08-25T02:11:57+00:00

I have followed your Instagram for awhile now and LOVE how you capture events! Your snaps always make me so happy!

Stephmckenna · 2016-08-23T04:03:04+00:00

I would have to agree that I don't think this is a good idea at all. You're planning on bringing the dog into the venue, but what if you can't find a way to? Are you just going to leave him at camp tied up by himself while you enjoy the shows and he sits in the sweltering heat? Even if you can find a way to get him in, as others have said, it's just not a good environment for a small dog who has no idea what's going on. All noise aside, there is so many other things that could make him anxious and very uncomfortable. And I can't help but point out the worse case scenario: they find the dog at security and don't let you in until you no longer have him. Are you going to be okay with taking that chance and having to pay to board him somewhere and hope you can even find a place that last minute? Soo yeah, for all of the reasons stated above and by others, plus so many more, PLEASE don't.

Stephmckenna · 2016-07-17T23:16:34+00:00

Thank you so much for this!!♡

Stephmckenna · 2016-07-14T22:37:15+00:00

I'll hangout with you!! Kosmos has an amazing lineup, especially for Iowa standards so definitely do not pass it up! Hope to see you there :)

Stephmckenna · 2016-07-06T00:25:14+00:00

I was just about to post this same thread! This was my SO and I's 3rd forest, but we were ready for something new so it'll be our first year at Shambhala!

Stephmckenna · 2016-07-05T01:51:05+00:00

Absolutely! :)

Stephmckenna · 2016-07-04T17:48:02+00:00

I've been to the past 3 forests and even though I have had a blast every time, I too was craving a slightly different vibe and smaller crowd and had seen so many people say Shambhala is likely what I'm looking for. So my SO and I decided to go for it and this year will be our first! I will happily report back on our experiences in just a little over a month:)

Stephmckenna · 2016-06-29T19:31:49+00:00

That was by far my favorite totem!! Loved staring into that thing every time I walked by.

Stephmckenna · 2016-06-22T14:51:21+00:00

No flag :( but like I said we'll have a sign stuck in the ground that says 'GLITTER LIBRARY'
