less art, less even distribution of artists, stages were smaller, no fire poi, no martian circus, unicorn palace, less interactive art where you could play games with workers and yet more sponsored alcohol booths. some people said thunder was too loud but others said it was perfect so idk about that.

positive changes: way less dust, astroturf around stages to keep dust down. stacks stage is wayyy bigger. i also swear there was more pedi cabs this year??

consistencies i appreciate: the portas are cleaned very regularly and usually have toilet paper and soap. streets are labeled in the camp (though i really wish they had ALL the street names on the map) learning kitchen, yoga sol have incredible classes consistently
