CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FEST?

 

My buddy and I have been talking about going since we were 18. 24 now, 6 years in the making, and we're finally going. Couldn't be more pumped for it.

 

Who else is going? Which bands/labels are doing exclusive FEST variants or releases? Who are you excited to see?

 If it's your first fest, my advice is:

 

- pace yourself! It's a marathon, not a race.

- take plenty of water/ food/ rest breaks. 

- diddley will never cap out, but a lot of the smaller venues will (esp high dive, Atlantic, wooly, Loosey's) and double especially for secret sets. Get there early if it's a must-see.

- be flexible. Your plans will change and you won't wind up seeing every band you want to. 

- eat tacos at flacco's and a gator burrito at Boca. Also hit up the hot dog cart. 

- if you buy a lot of merch, take advantage of the bag check uhaul at high dive. They let you check it for the day and you can add more stuff to it later.

- if you're not staying at either of the official hotels, still try to hit up a pool party/after party/beer purge at one (warning: you can party out front of the HI, but can't go inside if not a guest. Wyndham, you can).

- Use the Fest app if you aren't already.  Keep an eye out for schedule changes. 

- hug people and make friends. 

- If you don't go to one of the 88 Fingers Louie sets, you're fucking up ;)
