Never trust anyone without an avatar. (some silly symbol indicating nonseriousness)
yes, it is a great community; now register and be a part of it! 
Hey, I don't have one and am completely trustworthy--I'm just not computer savvy!
I go to all the festivals solo (jrtdad has to stay home with the JRTs). It's an opportunity to meet lots of new people and I always come away from each fest with new friends. So embrace the solo experience!

Going solo to festivals is the best. I often have friends that are coming, but being solo on arrival and departure allows me freedom to do what I want. MGTOW for life. I always make friends.

too funny! When that song came out I was in 8th grade and my GF and I thought it could be "our song" (it was a good make-out song) then we stopped and listened to the words....

no need to be nervous. just get to know your neighbors and all will be well. as has been said, solo fests are so much fun. you can totally do your own thing, go where you want, when you want. you'll enjoy it.

Went Solo to Lockn' in '13. Went solo to Peach fest last week. Going solo to Lockn' this year. My wife went to Peach Fest in '13 with me and decided she had enough of going back and forth to the RV between bands. Can't blame her though. But I must admit it is lonely. Yes, you meet some great people but not being able to share an experience like a festival with someone you care about is hard. Lockn' allows me to ride my bike in the mornings to break up the partying. But I guess being able to go when you want. Where you want and how you want can't be matched. Loneliness is a state of mind though. So I'll be looking to meet some RVers and having a helluva festival!!.

This is my first Lock'n Fest (I've only been to All Good and Jerry Garcia's Birthday Bash). This is my 12th Fest and 4th Solo. My home is Marvins Mountaintop WV All Good. All Good / Walther Production is Fam. I'm one of the longest running street teamers for All Good, 6 years running. So that being said I know what's up and I like to have fun (intelligently). I'm coming from DC and doing Forest Camping. Where are my city veteran hippies at? It would be so rad to get a large group of the DMV together. DC / Baltimore / NOVA. At the least if not camping near each other we def got to meet up and show them how it's done. In the words ok the Funk masters... Rage! If anyone is interested in some serious hang / jams, just FB message me what's up. PS: One of my favorite artists is IM, Griz, Tipper, etc. I love jam but electro is a passion of mine. PSS: I also play in two metal bands. Eclectic People Rule. ** \m/

Going solo as well. Got stood up by my music buddy. I have a bed in an on site tent rental that is available and I would hate for it to go to waste. It has already been paid for and would love to meet and hangout with a true peace seeking music lover. Must have a VIP ticket. Driving from Florida and arriving early Thursday. Any sane crazy person interested? I'm a 48yr old semi-professional married father of four with a serious music problem. I love the tunes and would love to find a buddy for the festival. Hit me up if any interest. I'm up for the adventure. 239-464-0020.

In a way I'm going alone from California. I have a VIP ticket and staying by myself in one of those set-up tents. But I'm not really going to be alone because there are between ten and twenty real life friends who will be there (VIP and GA) from all over the place. I often go alone to shows and fests and I pretty much always meet new friends which expands my circle and means that I will know even more people at the next event.
My sisters and parents are always like, "How can you go all by yourself?" They don't understand but I tell them, "First of all, I always run into people that I know and even if I don't I'm with a bunch of other ridiculous crazy music freaks and it will be great."
