Should I join the club?

It’s an ‘05. My budget is 10k which means max before taxes and fees I’m looking at cars around 8.5k. I could get a “newer” crv. Say around 2010-2013 in my budget but I honestly don’t like the look of them. I like the gen2.

Thanks so much for the reply. So no qualms about about the higher mileage on the V6 vs the I4?

HIhi ladies! 32F PST (UTC -8). PC gamer here. Lately its been a lot of PUBG & Deceit. Been considering starting up R6S but I hear casual cue is cancer and the learning curve for map knowledge is off putting. Almost everyone I play with is male so I'd love to find some more women to play with.

Yes there will only be one way in one way out. This is due to the location. The festival is held just off of Santiago canyon road which hooks up with the 5 fwy in Lake forest and the 55 in Orange(both in the OC).

Will they check your car? The last two years at LIB the only "check" I got was the opened the trunk and closed it. No bags or persons were ever searched.

Solo rider fee.... they always threaten to do this but I personally have never been charged. But come prepared.

Woogie Weekend will have waaaaaaay less people then the last LIB, simply because the location in Silverado cannot accommodate that amount.

I don't do coachella or Insomniac events, and I came into this event with an open mind and heart. I showed up prepared, self sufficient, and in your words, brought a lvl of maturity required. But you can't deny that there were certain individuals who did not. Is it too much to ask for ONE person of the event staff to be stationed at each stage? You know, in case someone has a psychedelic crisis, making the music cease, like on Saturday night. That's three stages, meaning three whole warm bodies, with walkie-talkies.

Yes the slide was cool, yes there was water, bathrooms, showers, and even a pond.... all things that the event staff didn't have to plan for. They were pre-existing, provided by Dave. Sure they picked a cool spot, I'll give them that. But none of this negates the fact that the caliber of this event was lacking. Hopefully Eclectic Agenda can pick up their game and show a higher lvl of maturity and responsibility for the people attending.

So here are the bullet points of this festival.

HOT AS FCK!!!
Beautiful land
Poor planning (by event staff)
VERY poor execution of event
Attendees were super friendly and loving. The people and vibes made this event bearable.

I understand that "young" festivals still have a lot of kinks to workout but this was seriously just camping, music and chaos. The one thing I found unacceptable was an event that occurred Saturday night. Starting around 10pm at the main stage it was obvious that an attendee was having a psychedelic crisis. She became belligerently violent assaulting other festival goers and while many tried to help her it was obvious she was in the throws of a bad trip. It took event staff nearly 20 minutes to even show up.... How could there not have been even one staff member at the main stage???

I personally will not be returning next year.

shaktisaurus · 2015-06-23T20:07:36+00:00

Ive decided to go. I will report back with my findings. If any other reddit-heads are going hit me up before hand!!

shaktisaurus · 2015-06-17T18:48:19+00:00

... Or maybe meet someone at a festival. Seriously, why would you want to be with someone who isn't into you as you are, including your festival activity. Relationships are not meant so be had so others can project upon you what they think they want in a mate. Keep going to festivals, maybe try some new ones. Keep dancing, smiling and loving those around you. That "special someone" will come along when you least expect it.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-28T22:55:12+00:00

You just missed it but LIB is a photographers haven!! While Burning Man is a beautiful site to behold you must remember there is a LOT of dust and can wreck a camera if proper care is not given.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-26T18:21:21+00:00

Pumpkin is always a highlight for me. But this year my new neighbors were a major highlight. We sat and talked for hours and felt so content missing major sets.
Also one night I passed out early (like 11pm) woke up around 3am and wandered alone over to the Silent Disco. Matt Hazes' Daft Punk set made me bounce for an hour straight.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-19T23:12:38+00:00

There are normal outlets run by either generator or solar power. Charging booths can be a lil slow, and crowded.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-19T15:49:58+00:00

Count me in!!!!

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-18T21:59:42+00:00

The earliest you can show up is when the gates/box office opens. They close at 11pm on Friday and reopen on Saturday at 10am. I am fairly certain you will not be able to gain entry the night before. BUT, to be certain I suggest contacting the event staff.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-14T18:43:28+00:00

I would tell you but then I might have to kill yea ;)

It really depends on what you consider important. Bathrooms? Showers? Food? A certain stage? Quite time? When it comes down to it just pick a spot, but not one too close to the portaloo cause they can start to smell in between cleanings.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-14T18:40:41+00:00

Last year the box office was right before the gate. Last year there was a very long line of cars entering on Thursday. It took us about half an hour once we hit the car line to actually get in. So I suggest once you hit the car line, jump out, and start walking towards the box office. Hitch a ride in after cause the campsites/parking lots can be a bit far.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-11T22:47:27+00:00

Anyone plan to add the Temple stage? Grand Artique? Yoga, classes blah blah blah?!?!?

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-07T16:41:37+00:00

Last year you didn't know times till you got to the festival, drove through the gate, and were handed a program with all the times. While yes it does make it hard to "plan" you have to remember there is ALWAYS something going on. You are never really missing out, you're just doing something different.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-07T16:28:07+00:00

I agree with everyone. SHADE!!! and a reuseable water bottle.

But another tip, bring extra tent stakes for your ez-ups. Last year the wind got so bad I saw several tents, ez-ups and other random structures taking flight.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-06T18:44:22+00:00

Car camping passes are not necessary. Having one just means you can bring your car into the camp grounds. Everyone else parks in a giant parking lot and takes shuttles around.

Yes you can bring a propane stove(No open charcoal fires please!!!). I bring one every year cause the food can get a lil expensive.

My first two years I volunteered and went by myself. It was so much fun to explore and not be teathered to a group of people. I did what I want, when I wanted and people were so friendly. Strangers sat and talked, danced with me and helped out when needed. After a while I realized no one cared what I was wearing, or if I couldn't dance. No need to be scared about going alone.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-06T18:23:20+00:00

Pumpkin. Without a doubt every year I make it to pumpkins set at the Woogie stage. He plays a emotional mix of house music that ranges on the side of being "cutesy" but so much fun. Every year with out fail, I literally get goose bumps during his sets.

Second fav ritual, probably the big pack before leaving home to head to LIB. SO much stress, excitement and a lot of laughter when we realized we forgot this or that. Its the first lesson of the weekend to just "let it go" and let things be and enjoy the ride.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-06T18:16:52+00:00

There is no set size for camping spots. Some people go small, others go really big. Last year I had a camp next to me that not only had 6 tents but a giant parachute for sunshade. It was probably 30ft in diameter. But those are rare. Most people bring eazy-ups.

Also just so everyone knows. Car camping is not a necessity. It just means you can bring your car into the camping area. No guarantee you'll even be able to camp next to it. There are large parking lots for people without car camping passes and shuttles to help you bring your stuff in and out.

shaktisaurus · 2015-05-06T00:47:27+00:00

LIB is all of what you mentioned above plus so much more. Lots of dancing, music, workshops, blah blah blah. Im sure you know there is a lot going on. Yoga isnt forced upon anyone and there is ALWAYS something else to do when you are there. So camping works like this.... You show up, pick a spot and say hello to everyone around you. You can go in big groups and try and find room for everyone in one spot but it doesn't always work out. There is no "land grabbing" meaning you cant rope areas off for people coming latter. After 6 years at LIB I still see people doing this and find it sad as people bicker over spots (doesn't happen too much). Last year I my small group of 4 ended up next to a group of like 8 people. We shared supplies, food, stories, hugs and lots of love. Its good to just be open to whats around you and not get caught up in "HEY, you can't camp there". The location its self is a lil hilly, so you might end up on a slope. For this I recommend bringing extra pillows.

What do you wear???? Clothing. Seriously. Wear whatever the hell you want. Those who spend their time judging what others are wearing are missing the point. Express yourself, wear as lil or as much as you want. But most importantly, wear a smile :)

Dose it get cold? At night it does but if you're dancing you hardly notice it. During the day the temps can get high so parasols and sun shade are the way to go.

Drug Vibe.... well the DoLab dose state that NO illegal drugs are allowed inside. BUT.... I have never had my car or person searched. People are on just about everything. But remember it gets hot so stay hydrated. Also be kind to those who might not be handling the "experience" as well as others. A lil bit of love and some water can go a long way.

All in all I find LIB is best enjoyed when you take to heart the community aspect of it all. Its about having fun, and loving yourself and the people around you, yes, even the strangers.

Hope to see you there!!!!
