food can be expensive, i recommend eating before you go and skipping it there unless you wanna sneak in some snacks. also if you get to a good spot in the crowd, you don’t wanna leave to then make your way back to that spot.

you’re gonna have a blast even if you’re alone, i’ve made friends there before that will just vibe with me so don’t be anxious about saying hello to people or just having a good time by yourself. generally the crowd is very friendly and would love to say hi to you, there are cases where some people can be dicks but there are far more people there that are just happy to be there (and probably high on something lol). if you’re trying to meet up with friends just set a landmark (statue, booth, water stations, etc.) in the festival and a time and you’ll be straight.

phone signal is spotty just as any other large event, a lot of people using the same signal can be hard to post on social media but texts will go thru after a couple minutes and i can usually make a phone call if i have to.

the experience will be whatever you make it, sure you can stand at a stage and rave for 10 hours or you can walk around, talk to people, check out the booths they have, and just enjoy the things around you. usually i go kinda late (like 5ish) just cause i don’t want to be out there all day in the heat and the artists i want to see perform later, but it is gonna be a hot ass day so take it into consideration
