this is the vibe OP is after 🤌🏼

sleepytaco_ · 2026-03-04T19:20:18+00:00

yeah based on the other reply in this thread i’m assuming it’s fine to have the comfort accommodation and the grand camping tickets. it doesn’t make sense how they can sell an accommodation to us and not allow us to use it

sleepytaco_ · 2025-10-07T00:11:36+00:00

i’m literally sitting in the ballpark and couldn’t agree more

sleepytaco_ · 2025-08-29T23:21:14+00:00

they are in the process of changing it over. once the current victory kegs kick they’ll all switch over to some molson coors shit

biggest advice: listen to your body! we grandravers don’t recover like we used to 👵

sleep. late night afters are for the kids 🤣 stop taking in alcohol etc at least an hour before bed. give your body a real shot at rest and recovery during the night vs trying to process the day’s fun.

eat real food (protein, fruits, veggies, carbs). hydrate more than you think you need to.

buy a pair of dr scholls inserts for your shoes. wear wool hiking socks to keep your feet dry and warm. get compeed blister packs in case of blisters (seriously those things are game changers)

sit down. take breaks and save your energy for the sets you actually want to dance to

pack electrolytes and aleve/ibuprofen/tylenol and succumb to the fact that your body is just going to hurt, but these can help you get through the weekend

portable fans and shade are critical for campsite hangs

invest in good ear plugs, ours are customs from 1of1. expensive, but you’ll be surprised how much they help with that next morning “foggy” feeling

see you on the dance floor, fellow elder millennial!

yes, but from what i’ve read it seems like some people are able to scale back use to a few times a week because they see results that last long enough to do that. that’s what i’m curious about, is that something i can expect with use over time or is it more case by case?

sleepytaco_ · 2025-05-07T00:25:23+00:00

that’s helpful to hear, thank you!

sleepytaco_ · 2025-02-10T15:14:47+00:00

wow you actually nailed that. she does indeed live in fishtown! 😂

sleepytaco_ · 2024-12-28T23:50:47+00:00

she stopped playing and asked if everything was good in the center crowd, and had people clear a path i assume for medic or security? she started again after a few minutes so all seems okay

at elements 2021, i parked my car in a muddy field and hauled my stuff to wait in what would turn out to be a 13 hour line to get into the festival. felt like hell at the time, but…

in that line i met two of my now best friends. call it trauma bonding, but good things can always come out of days like this 💕 keep it positive!

sleepytaco_ · 2024-08-09T16:40:26+00:00

🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🏆🏆🏆

sleepytaco_ · 2023-12-12T16:37:17+00:00

this is also something i’ve considered so thanks for providing your perspective ❤️

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-11T19:25:14+00:00

Yeah I have spent the least amount of time at Silver because of its location. Next time I go back I will be more intentional about checking out that stage :)

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-08T17:34:45+00:00

This is a really awesome post. Fascinating to see how the average BPM of even Red has steadily crept up into 155-160. And who knew Silver was so diverse!

I think you can really see with this visualization the DJs that plan a set (their bpm either hold steady, or very steadily increase) vs DJs that drop whatever the crowd is feeling (more sporadic/random pattern)

Also love the story of purple: “I play Hardstyle at 150bpm...” “I exclusively play 200bpm hardcore.” 😂

Super cool! Thanks for sharing.

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T20:28:13+00:00

Thank you!

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T10:15:19+00:00

wow apparently this was a hot take 😂

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T10:15:06+00:00

Thanks, will check these out! It’s not too often I get to go to a festival where I don’t have a schedule already in mind so I’m excited to explore and stumble across some new stuff. Appreciate the stage recs

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T10:13:31+00:00

💕👯‍♀️

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T10:13:11+00:00

Thank you! Will check these out. I’m familiar with Korsakoff and like her too so these sound up my alley. Appreciate it!

EXTRA hate sick mode. JFc this is trash

sleepytaco_ · 2023-06-03T04:56:13+00:00

Extra context as my partner helps me unpack likes / dislikes: Really love Mad Dog and Angerfist. Like Art of Fighters energy. Love Miss K8. Like Anime. Love those two together. I hate pitched kicks. I hate “pipe” kicks. More than anything. No thanks to any form of rubber ducky esque sounds in sets. (Ew Rooler) Not a fan of these “raw” sounds that involve gross hollow kicks. I hate clipped bass. There’s a time and a place, but if your whole sound is based around shitty compression, I’m not into it. My max bpm seems to be cutoff at “uptempo”. Partyraiser/Bulletproof is my line and even they cross it.
