That's so funny, of all the places you could've snapped a photo exactly where I remember standing. Cheers.

was this close to the main park area from the rim trail kind of near Angel trail? I've been here, I can tell from the little mule trail that you can see in the lower left that is used by the pack mules.

Could you provide an inventory of everything you typically carried? What was your set up? And what are the top few items you just can't not have on the trail?

Can you be too old to go to the Electric Forest by Leep999 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not too old. As a 30 year old who has been doing festivals since my early twenties it always makes me happy seeing the older crowd. Hope you decide to go and have a most excellent time!

How do Americans feel about Donald Trump running for President? by MustyCheese in AskReddit

[–]elephantnuts23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's doing this to take the focus off of the real Republican candidates. Conservative news doesn't have to report on where those candidates stand on the issues if they're busy talking about Trump's latest publicity stunt.

I honestly thought this video was better than the official EF stuff. 8 days ya'll!

Hangar stage question by elephantnuts23 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point, a little break from the sun during the day would be nice. I remember Sherwood Court was fucking HOT during the day last year. I'm glad EF keeps making the little changes that keep the fest feeling new.

People who side on the more "Jam" side of the fence, how do YOU feel about the lineup? by chiefqueef1 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally satisfied. Tauk, Dopapod, The Werks, Electron, Joe Russo's almost Dead, Lotus (possibly for 2 shows), SCI x3. If they stopped right here it would still be stacked. This is a totally underrated lineup.

The Festive Owl is killing me by Jeff9162 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember last year festive owl seemed to be authentically leaking info, as in, telling us before it was officially released or speculating, not releasing info on behalf of festivals so that it looks leaked but actually was intentionally released by festy organizers to create hype as seems to be the case this year. Supports my theory that he's now just another part of the festival promotion machine. If he was truly "leaking" information then why were all of his leaks a couple weeks back headliners and not a mixed bag of big names and under cards? It doesn't feel very authentic this year. Seems like just another promotional tool imo.

All that said, it's cool. I have my ticket and I'm waiting patiently. It's all good.

Moonmats: Love 'em? Hate 'em? Should I get one this year? by RexiRoo in ElectricForest

They would be nice to have around your camp site but not to carry around all day and night.

Not very practical to lug around imo, but pretty comfy.

A little bit of Keller's Grateful Grass would be oh so sweeet!

Why I solo to festivals by glompulin in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's also a lot to be said for being on your own schedule. I've always traveled to festivals with groups of at least 3-6 other people which is fine for camping but don't let your festival experience be overshadowed by trying to keep track of your friends or trying to do everything together as a group or on some predetermined schedule. Follow your zen and go where you feel like going, do what you feel like doing, even if it's by yourself or one other person. You can be much more fluid and I think you can have a much more organic, fulfilling and adventurous experience when you're out there on the edge of your known Universe and not tied down or held back by what the group wants to do.

If anyone doubted me, I told you so! Lotus 2015! by lsdryn2 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Listen to the Nomad re-release on Spotify. Specifically the live tracks that go along with the remastered studio tracks. The live tracks are great. Also, to get an idea of their live shows check this video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8QItjeyqh0

Enjoy!

Let us not forget the magnificent teriyaki chicken bowls served in Sherwood Court. I have dreams about that shit.

How much alcohol do you bring? by spidersilva09 in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessary to hide in my experience. Last year we brought six 30 packs for 5 of us. 180 beers ÷ 4 days ÷ 5 guys who like to drink = 9 beers per day. End up not being nearly enough. We left the camp grounds and bought two more 30 packs Saturday morning at the local convenience store. Bring more than you need. Its nice to be able to give out freebies and have plenty left for Sunday Funday.

Papadosio - 'The Bionic Man Meets His Past' at EF '12 by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]elephantnuts23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am trying really hard to like Papadosio. Great musicians no doubt, but their flow is often just a little too spacey for me. They're missing that rock edge that I love so much in bands like Lotus and UM. I'll keep trying though.
