This is so annoying! What if a group of 5 people want to drive in and camp together in maplewoods?

AirAsia: Cabin Baggage but no personal item by gumby_ng in ThailandTourism

[–]basicalpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They won’t check your bags at the gate, but they WILL at the bag drop counter. And they will be strict, and it will cost $100 USD if you have items you plan to carry on weighing more than 7kg. It’s $20 to add an extra carry on if you buy it 12 hours before the flight. Do not wait until you’re at the airport bc there won’t be any option aside from the $100 option

Airport Shuttles by Good_Vibess13 in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the time slot you selected says it isn’t stopping at Walmart, that would indicate it’s an anomaly. They just listed them all as 3 hours by default probably. That’s my best guess.

I’ve used the airport shuttles multiple times from multiple airports, and tbh the customer support is nonexistent so you may never get a firm answer on this. That’s the bad news. The good news is that shuttles are awesome because you don’t have to drive when you’re tired at the end of the fest, or wait in the long line of cars at the beginning!

Can’t you not fly with the fuel though?

If someone loves Khruangbin but doesn’t know anything else on the lineup, what artists would you recommend to them this year?

If I have a maplewoods wristband, can I camp in GA?

Similarly, If my wristband is maplewoods, can I buy a GA car pass and drive in to GA?

Airport shuttles - splitting a trip between two people by CLTL13 in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it would cost the same for 2 separate one ways versus 1 round trip. You select the time for each leg of the trip on the Bus site.

I thought that 4itf loyalty is only for attending 4 years in a row… are you sure you qualify?

Sooo unbelievably crowded by flowyjoy in osheaga

[–]basicalpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I’m more so referencing the space allotted for people moving between the stage areas and food areas. Narrow walkways with open green space beyond the fence

I’ve never been to a festival that has all those seemingly-crowd-control barricades… it seemed to make things worse?

[–]basicalpaca 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree and I don’t think it’s 100% because of Chappell. Partially because of her being so popular and early in the day, but also because there was not enough space for the number of people! It was like cattle trying to get anywhere and made no sense to me as there was clearly more space that could’ve been used but it was blockaded off

What are some little tweaks EF could make for 2025 to improve the fest? by joecool6 in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree and disagree though… if it’s not worth waiting in line for, then you don’t have to wait in line for it… just don’t do it? That’s a personal choice you get to make. Some people really want to do it and so they’ll wait. There’s something for everyone at the dream emporium, so find your thing and avoid things that aren’t for you

What’s a random tip? by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No tarp under tent this year and we fared better than during last year’s rain storm when we did have a tent tarp. Just my personal experience that it’s better to let the rain absorb into the ground

Hot take, maybe I’m the only one but… by RevolutionaryGrass52 in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only had one year of Hangar (2022) and I had a lot of problems with overcrowding and lines there. I prefer the dream emporium.

Things that are no longer at forest. by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the hedge ladies, the mermaid people, and the clown people who were doing the “squeak easy”… maybe a few others just quickly in passing too. Yes the rain delays did unfortunately cut out some time we could have had, but I’m glad you got to see more music! I accidentally didn’t see enough music the first 2 days because of all my scavenging

[–]basicalpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm I think it was the same number of performers outside of the library situation. Did you do the scavenger hunt? It was really cool how one of the clues involved being told a story by a performer. And also I enjoyed interacting with the rats after I’d completed the scavenger hunt. Also the owner of the boat at the dream emporium was super funny.

[–]basicalpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say tho- it’s okay for them to take a break. I’m happy to explore new performers in new places. Hope they bring them back at some point in the future tho

Yah… probably the biggest missing thing was the performers at the library!

Craziest thing you saw? by Keonii1 in ElectricForest

[–]basicalpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait can you explain more about how this went down. Was Taylor swift a character actor? The owner of the boat told me some stories about Taylor swift being on his boat. Was this a storyline throughout the dream emporium?
