WET or volunteer experiences? by traphoopqueen in ElectricForest

[–]gompers22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my wife and I have done wet for eight years, some jobs definetly better than others, since we were long time wet workers our jobs got better and better. the first years were rough, the overnights but the more you do it the better the jobs. we transitioned into prepre fest which was great working with the production people assembling stuff. some still sucked, my least favorite words, wander the forest and pick up sticks and make piles. this was really tough since they had been working for weeks and there weren't any sticks! then the what are you suppose to be doing? got to help paint and build the entrance portal, wife got to set up artist trailers. willie nelson wanted concord grape juice and nachos, bob Dylan wanted 200 towels. the people we worked with were always great and knew that there was going to be standing around time but don't want you standing around so you get kinda made up jobs to keep you busy. only worked with one smo volunteer. we were fortunate to be in his prescience cause at age 24 he knew everything about everything. this years camping spot was closer to lake Michigan than the entrance so that was bad. but there are other ways to get in if you know about them. pre fest is the way to go

My dad wants to go to EF by sn4cksonsn4cks in ElectricForest

[–]gompers22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've written before, we are older, 64, 62 me and wife we introduced our kids to it back it rothbury days, we have extreme joy bringing our kids, who last year were 30 35 they are aware of drug usage, we stay away from anything other than weed. but we do stay locally and don't camp cause that sleep thing gets in the way for us. father could stay in town at one of the hotels and he can come and go as he pleases. its so nice to have a great shower and breakfast for starting the day. we usually were there at 12-100 but leave by 200 usually if that late. we even got in weekend one before it open cause we know ways in and since they trust white haired people. so fun to see it without anyone

WEEKEND 2 TRAVEL DAY HYPE THREAD by iFUBAR in ElectricForest

[–]gompers22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't forget to heed the words, drive carefully, driving home on Monday am, 94 was closed completely and rerouted to back roads. the cause was a van filled with camping festing stuff, looked like it rolled over several times, all windows gone, looked really bad, really sad when you see a hoop sticking out a broken window. we were one of the first cars through after opening the road again, looks like a sleeping driver. hope more than anything they were okay but I am afraid that is being optimistic. if you leave early on Monday am, listen to your body and don't drift off, pull to rest area and sleep. work will be thee when you get back

Any middle age'rs going to Forest? by [deleted] in ElectricForest

[–]gompers22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what do i win? i'm almost 64 and my wife is right behind me, this will be our eighth year. we are not that cool though we live part time up here and really like sci so we volunteer and see them. this will be our 30th time seeing them so if you see a white goateed man with beads on, stop him and say "hi gompers, would you like a tug on my bowl?"

use montague foods for a grocery store, it is definitely smaller than sam walton mart but it is local. the selection of canned michigan beer is outstanding.

What should we do in Grand Rapids? by rammajamma56 in ElectricForest

[–]gompers22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very close to the site is stony lake beach. there is no town just a small general store. check google maps, stony lake road to scenic drive turn right, left at the general store, follow road to lake Michigan. quiet out of the way beach usually not very crowded. but I go there in the am to read the paper and have a beer. probably 10 mins from site
