Just out of a divorce a couple years back so im new to a lot of things I'd not been allowed to do in a long time. Like being myself. But anyway. I was super disappointed w the crowd overall. I met some great ppl but still. Yeah. And it was terribly expensive.
Damn that sucks. Don't let that ruin your experience for all festivals though. I prefer the smaller ones, with just a few thousand people or so. Once the festivals get too big they go to shit pretty quickly.

If you are in KY, checkout http://www.terrapinhillfarm.com/.
Tons of old (and new) heads go here. It's more of a hippy jam band place, not really EDM (just FYI).

Oh dude. Thank you. That's right down the road from me. Def would like to make that harvest fest if I can find some ppl to go n camp w me. Would be cool to meet some ppl from around here. I wonder if I would have a nice time if I just went by myself. Do you know much about it? And it keeps mentioning 'fun for the whole family' and kids and stuff. Is that an indication of the atmosphere?

There is one festival I'm thinking of going to near me, except the line up is really weak, like 90% of it doesn't even sound like EDM, they did some kind of mixing of genres like trying to include some kind of rap etc, I looked a lot of the bands up and it's pretty disappointing. I'd probably only wanna go for Deadmau5. http://summersetfestival.com/2015/lineup/

it used to be, they put it in northeast PA this year
we did get a pretty crazy storm, it was pouring out and some lighting/thunder...no tornado but it was a legit warning
after the rain stopped we got a double rainbow that was pretty sick, last time i saw a double rainbow was night 2 of bassnectar at red rocks 2014...double rainbows = monster bassnectar sets

I'm aware of Bassnectar but he's on a different day than Deadmau5, and I'd probably only go on Sunday(if I do). I really can't listen to hippity hop, no idea why they thought it was a grand idea to mix genres like that especially in Wisconsin of all places, the whitest place in America. I've been to this place earlier in the year for the Northern Invasion Festival that had a bunch of metal bands, yeah I know what you're talking about with the sound bleed it was noticeable when two bands were playing. As for the security thing, it was a little more uptight than I was used to, had to empty my pockets and go through a metal detector. Then later my buddy and I wanted to smoke a bowl and they wouldn't let us or other people leave to our cars because we didn't have V.I.P. bracelets, then later we walked around and found another exit and they let us leave, I was relieved because I left acid in the car thinking I'd leave it and come back for it after a couple bands played, my day was nearly ruined. Sorry if that was a long reply.

Some fests are fun. I prefer smaller affairs since I don't like being around super large concentrations of people. Went to Photosynthesis in Washington last year with Twighead and Propensity and wound up doing crazy amounts of ketamine, mxe, mushrooms, and acid in a Freemason rainforest campground. Was pretty awesome all around. As far as where I live in the Midwest goes though, I've been to Shoefest in the past and enjoyed it, but the only fests I'm really interested in that are in the region are Infrasound and Resonance. Attended my first Infrasound back in May and it was unquestionably the best musical experience I've ever had in my 20 years of life (Ozric Tentacles playing a mindblowingly sick set to a crowd of 50-60 people while I'm on 6-7 hits of acid ) so I'll definitely be returning for the Infrasound Equinox event in September if any shroomerites are going to that.

Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

From my admittedly limited festival experience, I have to say that so far fests that attract higher quantities of Burners are almost always better across the board than the fests that don't ( ). Something to look out for
