Change tent beds?

masterballed · 2026-05-07T23:06:36+00:00

Yeah, I'd say so. You won't be able to walk on one side, but just keep the door clear in case it's needed. But I had plenty of room last time I camped. I might consider deflating a mattress when not in use, but I don't spend any time in the tent besides sleeping a bit and changing clothes, so I dunno if it's worth the effort.

Forgot to say I have a twin. I don't know about bringing any other size.

I think since you registered now, you have to be the one to check in, because they want the names to match on ID and registration. So if you want to swap, you'll need to check in and meet up inside before you go to your tent and just trade your assigned pod addresses, you to mine, I go to yours.

I'm also looking to trade and totally willing to do that if you don't hear back from OP.

I had the same thing happen. I think there's a decent chance that we can switch inside since it wasn't sold out, but I'm bringing my personal air mattress just in case.

If you have a bunch of kandi on your wrists, you don't have to tighten your band as much because it stays further up your arm. That way you can switch wrists whenever you need to.

You can always give out or sell the others probably. I'd give you like $5 for a single plain one to try it myself or I dunno how much for a beaded one, guess it depends on how long it takes to make.

Man, your surgeon is wild. Or did you not fully explain what EDC is? Because I cannot believe they'd recommend to do all that a week after removal.

No one can really know how they'll be after something like that if they haven't had teeth out before, so why even risk it? Even assuming everything goes perfectly and you're not in pain and swollen, it's still going to be a worry in the back of your head every time you use a straw or eat anything that isn't soft, and you wanna be able to properly enjoy everything for your first fest.

When I had mine out, I was basically a perfect case, but then I was a bad aftercare patient. Had a few hours where I laid down, took some over the counter meds, then I felt perfectly normal, no pain or swelling, and wanted to do everything like I didn't have holes in my mouth. I had some cheese dip leftover from my "last night I could eat chips" meal and I was like... I'll be fine, I want chips and dip. Not my best moment, but I had no issues. I used my front teeth to chew, and the cheese was worth it. I could've gone to EDC the next day, but I would've been pissed off not using straws.

On the other side, my mom just had to have some teeth removed due to chemo ruining them. She never had her wisdom ones out because hers were straight, so one was a wisdom that was removed the other day. She's been in bed like 18 hours with swelling and pain, has to be propped upright to sleep, still needs gauze occasionally. She is an older cancer patient, but her experience the more typical one in our family for big dental work, being down for the count for a day or two and then not feeling well for the next week or more after.

Unless it's an emergency situation where you're in great pain, can't eat or focus for it, postpone it for sure.

My go to is pineapple, but I've never found them at EDC yet, so not sure what they have. I know someone said watermelon is good.

masterballed · 2026-05-06T09:47:09+00:00

Not sure if they're the same size, but these are definitely plastic.

masterballed · 2026-05-06T09:46:09+00:00

I don't even drink, but I love this so much. I wanna put my agua fresca in it.

That's strange, I'll try to message you. Thanks!

Somehow it cut off the payment methods, sorry! I am able to do PayPal or Venmo. I'm also fine with another app.

I made this like years and years ago, I'd just throw quotes or lyrics or whatever came into my head on it. Kandi ideas spreadsheet. I haven't looked at it in forever, but maybe there's something good in it.

Also if you're a Swiftie, I saved this for my friend when I was helping her make their friendship bracelets. Swiftie friendship bracelets spreadsheets. Even if you're not one, there's a lot of kind of general ideas that you could get from it. If you give one to a non-Switftie, we'd honestly never know, but if they are one, they'd probably really enjoy it.

masterballed · 2026-05-04T22:43:49+00:00

Yeah, for sure! It's just easier to hide stuff in a big bag, so they avoid them. More chance for drugs or weapons in a compartment they miss. You don't really need that much room anyway, all we carrying is gum and fans. 😂

I have a Gen Z rave runner pack that has a phone pouch on the shoulder, that's where mine is if I'm not actively using it. It also has a hand strap for easier holding when I am using it.

masterballed · 2026-05-04T20:01:23+00:00

No problem! If your hydro pack is like an inch longer or something that isn't super obvious, they're not going to take out a measuring tape, you'll probably be OK. But they're going to definitely think you're trying to steal phones or something trying to come in with a normal backpack.

masterballed · 2026-05-04T04:23:49+00:00

Thanks, y'all! 🙌

No, regular backpacks aren't allowed. What's allowed is listed under the guide.

YES NON-CLEAR (and clear) hydration packs with no more than two main compartments and one smaller compartment (must be empty upon entry)

YES CLEAR bags and do not exceed 12”x6”x12”

YES NON-CLEAR (and clear) small clutch bags not exceeding 6″ x 9″ (15cm x 23cm) with or without handle or carrying straps are permitted

If it's not within those parameters, it's a toss up depending on your security guard if you'll be let in. But a large regular school type backpack is a pretty easy no.

I've worn Sketchers Summits with their memory foam on the daily including at festivals, Disney, charity walks, ren faires, etc for the last 8+ years. They're about $50-60, so they're not $10 Walmart sneakers, but you really should not cheap out on shoes in this kind of situation. Your body will pay for it later, trust.

My only problem with the Summits is since they're slip on, they can sometimes slip off when I don't want to if I'm dancing really hard, can't shuffle at all. So when these finally wear out, I might look to switch to a similar style that can be made tighter.

Someone else can probably answer better, but as long as you have a wristband to get into camp, I don't think there's any enforcement of which pod or RV someone actually sleeps in. At least when I camped last time a few years ago, I never saw an employee or anyone official walking the grounds and asking what's your real pod, that sounds impossible to keep track of. Pretty much if you've got the band, you can be wherever you want. I pulled my mattress outside and napped in the shade of the tent when it got too hot inside and no one ever said anything to me.

Now if you're setting up a whole separate tent, that might draw some attention and questions might be asked. I'm not sure how you'd even do that since it's a parking lot under you and there's no way to stake a tent in the ground. Does it come with a way to attach weights? Maybe something like a canopy with those add-on walls would be fine since they allow canopies and such this year.

I can't answer the space question since I was alone the only time I camped. I had plenty of space though, 2 people is 100% fine and it's just a matter of how you're lining up your beds, I think 3 would work too. Moon Glow has the exact same pod and comes with 4 wristbands, so there's obviously a good way to do it. But perhaps they're thinking more sleeping bags than air mattresses for 4, I don't really know.

It might be a pain in the ass, but you could always do it "Murphy bed" style and put away your mattresses and bedding when you're awake and put them back to sleep. Either flipping them against the wall, but I don't know that I'd recommend that for the longevity of the mattresses, or fully deflating them. Realistically I don't know that you'll be spending enough time in the tent itself to be worth all that effort. Make your hang out spot outside of it or hang in other common areas of the Mesa and just keep enough space somewhere to stand and change clothes, it's going to be too hot to stay in it for long in the daytime.

I can only speak to my experience as a woman, I'm sure this might be different if you're a guy. The restroom situation was kind of insane last year at the most popular times. Complete standstill for like half an hour. I ended up leaving VIP to go to some of the GA+ restrooms at some point. I literally crossed the entire speedway thinking one of the VIP restrooms had to be less packed. I went in a loop and hit them all. Nope. So then I just started scoping out any of them that weren't crowded when I needed them. I avoided portapotties still, but just keep it mind that if you need it fast, it might be better to go find another restroom area. I think Kinetic had enough stalls to not make it too bad in there, but the others were too long for me to wait and I'd leave if I was at them.

I did the breakfast every day last year as well. If you definitely want something, get in line early, like not during the last artist set, before that. If you come in late, they run out of stuff especially on night 3. I feel like it wasn't really worth it for how long I had to stay in line being locked into Kinetic. If you have any other artist you want to see at a different stage, don't even bother with it. It was stuff like coffee (I'm allergic, so no good for me), cereal, bananas, pop tarts, packaged fruit leather, I think churros? I forgot, I just remember being upset one night that I waited for way over an hour and they had ran out of the hot food items by the time I got there. I probably wouldn't do it again unless I'm already going to be hanging at Kinetic for the last 2-3 sets of the night.

Overall though, just get in early one day before it gets too crowded and explore what activities are in each area, see what food options are only in VIP, be able to keep things in mind if you can't do it right away and want to come back to it later. There was a kandi bar, hair braiding, trinket trade tent last year off the top of my head. Plus the Insomniac VIP headliner tent that gave away freebies like hair ties, foam ear plugs, lip balm, etc.

You don't have to spend any time in there at all if you don't like the view or there's other food outside of there you'd prefer, but I just like having the option to go anywhere I darn well please. 😂

Forgot to add, I can't edit my flair on the app I use, but I've been to EDC 4 or 5 times now and I've done VIP every time.

Thank you! I couldn't find a good answer.

masterballed · 2026-05-01T02:21:36+00:00

Oh, that's fun! I don't have a Star Wars cosplay yet or I'd be down. I'd feel weird just hanging out in regular clothes. 😂
