DrailNever been to Squamish festival but if you like electronic at all and love good vibes, switch Squamish for shambhala (assuming they are at the same time again).
, coachella, Sasquatch, pemberton, shambhala would make for a killer summer. If you could throw a trip to black rock city in there as well it'd be one for the books.
ZimmermanNew Years Palace is happening again?
-benedettoAnyone else going to Catskill Chill? Louie and I are headed after work. Going to be a funky weekend. Great line up
theabortionatorI haven't done the last 2 chills. Hopefully it's still chill when I get to go again. MAybe EDM will be dead by then and the womp will be gone. Still a lot of good bands on that lineup. Crazy how fast that fest blew up. They could be doing 7-10k if they wanted to. Glad their keeping it capped at 5 though.
Also either moe. or phish miami for me.
Aura fest in march is going to be a rager. I need to get a fest in my life
-benedettoYup Aura is stacked! It's be hard to justify that expenditure during ski season though.
I don't mind a little Womp but there wasn't too much of it at Chill. It was beyond . It gives me the warm and fuzzies just thinking about it. The setup was awesome. moe. on the 27th is next for us. Oh yeah and Albany for lark fest this weekend to day drink.
louie.miragssome moe. this weekend in Bridgeport, CT... anybody else? Or anybody have been to the Klein/this area? Any recommendations for pregaming or bar to hit afterwards?
Mr.LemonPieAlright looking for a bit of advice here...
I've never been to a festival in the US and am not really familiar with the scene at all, but all of the festivals I've been to in other countries have been the best times I've ever had.
Next summer I want to just go festival to festival. Has anyone done this? The plan is sort of to buy a camper-van for transport/sleeping and hit as many as possible. Obviously financially it isn't very viable but I think it wouldn't be too hard if we were able to get free tickets for all the festivals. Does anyone know about cleaning up after the fests or getting in on entertainer tickets? Is there any other way to get free tickets to festivals that people know of?
The other options I were thinking about were working at like a bar or on security crew or something...Anyone have any idea if those people travel from fest to fest or is it all different?
The last option I was thinking about is making and selling a whole bunch of tie dye...Anyone have an idea on how expensive it is to get a booth for selling retail goods at festivals, or other ideas for things we could sell other than tie dye?
Any help is greatly appreciated...I don't even know where to start really.
louie.miragsWhat type of music are you into?
-benedetto[link]www.jambase.com[/link]
foodisfunthreads. some good stuff coming up soon in the nyc area including Lettuce on halloween and Time Warp's first US appearance on thanksgiving weekend
louie.miragswe'll be heading to NYC saturday 12/6 to see Jimkata at the knitting factory.. Awesome band I haven't got to check out yet. I recommend checking them out! I recently got into archive.org and their shows sound great.
ZimmermanFirst Cheese show tomorrow
louie.miragsI am about to buy the moe. tickets for their 3-show run in NYC in March. So stoked! The venue they're playing on that thursday only fits 700 standing. I can't wait to see them in an intimate setting!
Zimmermanso is Bisco 15 a rumor I should get my hopes up on orrrrr

ZimmermanCheese was danks, I was super impressed and got a few songs I wanted. Contrary to some of y'all, I prefer the new Cheese. Dunno if you could tell but I was comin up pretty heavy at the time haha, that made for a fun show.
As for Bisco; As long as you have a tester you're fine there I'd say. I really love the little bubble of anarchy they had going.

connecticuntI've been talking to people and apparently it's a thing. I'm with you on the whole anarchy situation, I've been going for a few years now and I was bummed when it didn't happen last year. Yes it's a shit show, yes a whole hell of a lot of shady shit goes down but I totally find a weird sense of comfort in that and if it does end up happening, you can bet ill be there.wait tull someone in your crew gets beat up and robbed by security or in the middle of many other shady things happening. The last few yearsvthat place really got out of control. I wish theyd get rid of the edm for the most part and just have more bands playing. Sell less tickets and clean the place up. Not even sure if thats doable at that location. Honestlt surprised it ran as long as it did.
Same goes for Hudson. Now that was a literal shit show with all the nasty stuff I was stepping in towards the end of it, but hey I had a fantastic time not seeing Bassnectar there. Now I know that's happening again and if the line up is as killer as it was last year, I'll be there for sure.

theabortionatorA lot of good posts about them in my thread
https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/704698/Jimkata
^ JK
I think my thread about twiddle at least got like 4 posts.
foodisfunbuddy of mine saw twiddle in DC and baltimore and he said they killed it. sucks cause we missed most of their set at vibes and I couldn't make their show in nyc. hopefully they come back around soon
theabortionatorWhere are you at? They play around the northeast quite a bit. MAybe not as far as dc but vt, ma, ct, ny 4 or 5 times a year. Also nyc a few times pa and other spots.
MoaWarmedWent to-
Wakarusa
Tommorowworld
Ultra Miami
Electric Forest
Hard Fest
Bonaroo
North Coast
Interlocken
Art Outside
Aura
Hulaween
was a good year
foodisfunI'm on long island so I would've made the trip up to their CT show this wednesday, but I already had plans. That's true though I'm sure they'll be back around in the spring sometime
theabortionatorWaka is great. Finally might make an aura this year. Was supposed to go work there since 2010. Never made it. Almost did hulaween when the biscuits played in 2010 or 11 but didn't for some dumb reason. I think I hit something else. Lockns good stuff.
What'd you think of ROO? I'm not going near that place again personally but always interested to hear other peoples experiences.
Word, I was gonna say I have a friend selling two tickets for it. And they'll definitely be back around. Probably at least 2 shows at the spot in Rhode Island unless they outgrow that. A couple NYC shows a ct or 2. And plenty of NY, VT.
MoaWarmedRoo, was fucking nuts I was way to spun to function for half of it but Umph killed it as always, I found good dose and I some how made it home. Would always be down to go to festivals with fellow NSers, PM me, and I am going to STS9 for new years in Denver
