my favorite venue by far is the Spirit of Suwanee. the big one, Wanee, is amazing, but they have several others (bear creek and mag fest, and i'm sure some others.) bonnaroo is fun if you wanna chill with 80k people and want to see an entire range of music. aside from lockn, that's about the extent of my fest experience. i could name others, but don't really have first hand experience.

you actually look a lot like a dude i hung out with for a couple hours this weekend. any chance you watched my chair while i disappeared to take a piss and get some beer? talked to you about my boys from colorado?

My first fest had me sitting in a Porta potty trying to maintain control over a hard hitting dose of lucy. Thanks to some very experienced people me and the Porta departed friends and I've gone on to many other fests since. So good luck in finding your fest.

Also my first festival! Absolutely fell in love with the people, the music, the atmosphere....you name it and I LOVED IT! Everything was great, did forest camping and got in pretty early, had a sweeeeet huge spot and THE BEST NEIGHBORS EVER!!! Anyone I ran into was so kind, everyone said "thanks!" or "excuse me", there were absolutely NO WORRIES at all for me during the whole fest. People were so kind and generous, I felt the need to give everything I had (except not EVERYTHING

haha) to random strangers just because I wanted them to be having as wonderful a time as I did. Lockn was without a shadow of a doubt the best time that I have ever personally experienced in my life. I met some friends that I KNOW I will continue to be close with for many many years to come. All of the close minded cynics should be forced to partake (and I really mean partake) in Lockn, if that happened I feel certain that the world would be a better place!!! All in all, THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone and everything who had any part, even the smallest, in making this such a life changing experience!!! See you all next year folks!!!!

My first fest too and it was great.

it was especially fun for me seeing all ages and walks of life enjoying themselves together. I dig that sort of thing at home.

I came, and would go again, primarily for the music. Being around good people made the music and the logistics that much more
enjoyable. But I would not sign up for next year until I knew who was playing. That's just me; I know others go for the other
aspects such as community, get-away, etc.

A comparison comment I heard from family who were there and also have been to Bonnaroo is that at 'roo, it's easier to get close to the music,
which makes sense since it's all spead out and multi-stage. before I got to lockn I thought the concert area looked cramped and I firmly
believe that now that I have been there. Everything needs to be pulled back.
