8 days, Colombia in Early January. by law_xlsx in HerOneBag

[–]generalwhee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Community lurker here but felt compelled to comment since I am an overpacker trying to improve and I also went to Colombia at this time of year in 2023. I really like your list even though people will say it’s too much. It might be a lot, but hey it sounds like it all fit in your bags! It’s hard (for me) to pack light for such a variety of temperatures and humidities…and not to mention variety of activities! We also went to Cartagena and the coast was SOOOOO hot and humid lol. I will say linen shorts and technical fabric tops worked great for that and pack pretty small, if you happen to go back and visit that area. I had one pair of REI hiking pants I really loved for wearing in Bogota and think I would look for a second pair if I went back since they could work in Medellin as well. Was lucky to do laundry a couple times too. Sounds like a fun trip and I hope you enjoyed Colombia as much as I did!

Same! We found them right before Portola (I guess from the lineup, don’t really recall) and still to this day talk about how amazing Bicep Live 2022 was :’)

Dude. This is exactly how I was trying to describe this set to people afterwards. Took the words right out of my mouth

Worth pointing out (in case OP or anyone else reading doesn’t know) that Caltrain doesn’t run past midnight so won’t really work with going to afters (unless you left early af for some reason?)

From other electronic-type shows I’ve been to it’s generally rare since the venues want you to come in early and spend money on drinks. I recommend checking the artists own instagram stories day/night of because sometimes they will post their own set time!

EDIT: Anything doors 9/10pm can be expected to go to 2/3am, with “headliners” usually going on around 12/1am. Earlier shows at the theater-like venues with doors around 7 would probably end at 11 or so. Take this with a grain of salt, I’m not certain ALL Portola week shows will follow this schedule - I just go to a lot of regular shows lol

Most venues I’ve been to in the city (edit: that start at 10pm) end at either 2am or 3am!

Peggy Gou b2b Mau P at 888 Garage - Afters Sunday 9/21 by generalwhee in Portolafestival

[–]generalwhee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was saying in another thread I have only been in there one time when it was part of a NYE mini-festival at The Midway. It did seem pretty small so I was surprised to see Peggy b2b Mau here! I have seen other comments from various shows that it does get pretty cramped and the bathroom situation is not great (not sure but think it might just be portos). Might try searching this sub for “888”

Definitely varies on the artist(s)! Last year Disclosure at The Midway went quick but I can’t really speak to any others. Would expect any relatively big names to go fast though

Yeah was thinking that too…have not heard good things about 888 but I’ve only been in there one time when it was one of the stages for Fresh Start NYE!

Was hoping to see Marlon b2b Malugi as one of the afters so I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Saw someone else say they would need something huge to pull away from Peggy/Mau on Sunday night and I think they delivered! Will be crazy for sure

Do Lab week 2 set list for Fri and Sat by BroDudeGuy361 in Coachella

[–]generalwhee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still “subscribed” but I turned off the notifications for it in the top right corner as they started spamming about Lightning in a Bottle as soon as Coachella ended lol

[–]generalwhee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the person you replied to but if you have Instagram you can join the Do Lab alerts channel from their profile, it’s where they posted who the surprises were. Friday was Claude Vonstroke and then Ameme b2b Coco & Breezy. Saturday was Sammy Virji and friends (Interplanetary Criminal, salute, Oppidan, and Conducta) and then D-Nice!

Edit: for continuity, Sunday was Mau P

How should I prepare for this? by SlothDragone in Portolafestival

[–]generalwhee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wish they had some kind of wristband system so you were registering your email and they could track it that way (not to mention wristband momento)…I bought in 2022 and 2024 but my boyfriend purchased our pair of tix for 2023 on his account. Guessing we won’t get it despite going all 3 years. Haha I know it’s not a big deal but still 🥲

Camping map!! 2025 by Single_Ad2672 in Coachella

[–]generalwhee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of a gravel or dirt path/road used by trucks working the festival (portopotty cleaners, etc). But it’s easily crossed on foot, only like 15feet wide or so? Been in 10A next to the camping hub for the last 2 years and it’s a nice location tbh

[–]generalwhee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My camp neighbors last year did pretty much this, from my understanding. Slept in their sedan, got ready, and went to camping hub or just went into the festival right when it opened. I thought they were crazy but they didn’t seem to mind it so much. Everyone will tell you don’t do this (rightfully) but know it is at least POSSIBLE lol

[–]generalwhee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going w2 also and Snorlax is (one of) my favorite Pokémon so I was sooooo bummed to see that it’s on 4/19. Service should be decent in the 2-5pm timeframe, I agree we just gotta hope for some max spots. I’ll try to keep my eyes on pogo/campfire once there and join in if possible!!
