So I think I'm confirmed for my first Firefly. I've never done a camping fest, so my question is this - people are talking about bringing grills, if you bring a grill, what food do you cook and if it is meat, how do you keep it from wednesday to sunday? Just keep buying ice? Sorry if it's a stupid question...
I'm unsure of the whole 4 days of edm, but I'm sure I'd find a way to have a ridiculously fun time. And There'd be a good chance to see the acts I've missed here in DC...still holding out for Galantis to come back
I love EDM (probably my favorite genre), and I'm really not a huge fan of EDM-exclusive fests. Did EDCNY both days last year and Electric Zoo for a day, but this year I'm thinking the only EDM-exclusive fest I'll be at is EDCNY for one day. It's just too much, and for as much as I love EDM, I like too much other music to be pinned down to one genre for 2-3 days.
This, exactly. It isn't my absolute favorite genre, but I really really like it (the non-Aokis of the world, of course) - however, the idea of 3/4 days at an EDM fest, wow, just no. It would be too much for my ears, my brain, my entire body. I don't like thinking of how many stimulants I would end up consuming by the end of that weekend. And by stimulants I mean coffee OK?
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Long time lurker here, been reading daily for the past 3 months! It's been entertaining to say the least... Anyways has anyone here seen The Bleachers live? I live in Tampa and they're coming to town next week with Joywave and The Night Terrors of 1927. I enjoy all threes music but I would have to do some flip flopping with my work shifts to make it happen. Just wondering if they were fun live and worth the trip.
bleachers are great live. one of my favorite ff performances from 2014.

I did summer set here a few years ago - it's primarily EDM.... by the end of the weekend I was like, "how the fuck do people listen to EDM all weekend???" literally the last day I wasn't super familiar most of the electronic acts, and the whole day felt like one extended song.... and not in a good way.... it's just too much of the same for me.

It sounds like it would get old. But Ultra Music Festival does not get old. It just gets expensive...

Ultra is a whole different beast, when you're not in the festival you're in after/pre-parties (essentially going 72 hours straight in downtown Miami). So much more to offer than fests like EDCNY, EZoo, etc.

I always bring a grill but typically just use it for breakfast and sometimes lunch before heading into the festival. The coleman popup grills are perfect for tailgating and festivals. I have a griddle and in the morning we'll typically cook up eggs and bacon/sausage. I usually cook up any burgers or anything that can potentially go bad the first day or two of the fest just to be safe. Either way i wouldn't get too fancy but also check out the Firefly message board or the camping section of inforoo and you'll get a lot of great tips and they will give you ideas for essentials you didn't know you needed. As far as ice goes alot of people will buy dry ice but there is also ice available for purchase at the festival.

As far as ice goes, I would recommend using either dry ice or frozen water bottles. The dry ice seems to be most effective in terms of keeping everything cold, but could be potentially hazardous if you're not careful about handling it. Most people seem to recommend wrapping the block of dry ice in towels, making sure not to let the ice come into direct contact with the cooler, the cooler's contents, and most importantly, your skin. You might also have to do some research on where to purchase dry ice in your area. I'm going to try the frozen water bottle approach this year. I plan on buying at least a 24-pack of water bottles, freezing them, and then using them as an ice substitute. When they melt, they come in handy as additional hydration sources. If we have free space, I might add a bag or two of crushed ice on top of everything else.

Let's have an inforoo cook outtttt. Thursday mayb?
That'd be cool! I'd meet up with you guys to do that.
Oh and as far as ice, I bring a few bags and then just buy a few each morning. They sell them for $5 a bag at the "posts". It gave me a reason to walk around the campgrounds and check things out too, which was fun and entertaining. They also had a golf cart driving around selling them directly at camp sites (although I only remember seeing them the first day). I don't want to fool with dry ice although I'm sure that would be a better way to go. I didn't bring a grill, although my neighbors had one and grilled me up some fine eats every mornin'.

Also, as we get closer to the time, we can figure out if there are any people who will be going in around similar times, and we can camp near each other. But Carl is not invited

I hope you guys are a little on the weirder side and less on the bro side of things. I want to have camp ground dance parties and play games that aren't frat related (i.e. Flip cup).

I'm in a frat myself and I'd say flip cup is the most often played drinking game among us haha. Anyway, I'll admit I'm a "bro", but I still have common courtesy. The way I see it, I'm entitled to do what I want as long as what I'm doing isn't degrading the experience of anyone else, even slightly.

I didn't mean any offense to frat guys! I dated one in college, was friends with some too - just was saying we should expand beyond those games to think of fun shit to play. Confession: im actually fantastic at flip cup. Maybe I'll challenge you

You'll probably see me there, I'll be in the guy in premier running around trying to get 50 on 50 flip cup going haha that's been a bucket lister for me at FF. In regards to your challenge, I'm not too bad myself, however I do my talking on the court (table?)
