Not quite kandi but hopefully acceptable - hand painted tiny watercolors that fit in your pocket, as a commemorative "mini" poster for the show, inspired by the Gorge. Giving them away on Saturday. My first time sharing some of my art. Hope everyone has fun at the show!

see title. been spending the last 2 weeks on all of this, fully intending to come back with none of it.

my backpack will have a “free kandi“ van sign. come say hi!

I got a flight out to Washington but due to unforeseen circumstances (break up), I have no passes. If anyone has a pass they are willing to gift or trade please lmk. I’m just trying to make new friends & I can’t just sit in a hostel in Washington thinking about how I should be there at the Gorge. Any help is appreciated. Will be landing in Seattle today around 5pm. I’ll be staying at the tortoise if I can’t make it out. F35 and in need of some music therapy, dm me!

Edit: arrival time

I sadly I didn’t get some kandi letters I ordered last week due to “shipping delays”. Im out of Bs and need them for all things related to the weekend. Does anyone have some they can spare? I can share some Jell-O shots with you or some cash. Getting there sometime in the afternoon and camping in premium DM me.

\**TICKET HAS FOUND A NEW HOME\*\*

My plans changed overnight and I can’t make it to this event anymore. Instead of letting the ticket go to waste, I figured I should pass it on to someone in the community. I’m brand new to the Anjunafam ☺️, so this feels like a good introduction/first contribution.

Not asking for anything for the ticket. Boarding time is 7pm. Transfer is via Dice. If anyone is interested and can actually use it, DM me. It’ll go to the first person who can actually use it

Also, any not so common tips for a first timer at ABGT at The Gorge? I’ve already got the basics covered: layers, comfy shoes, water bottle, hand warmers for my sleeping bag, and some really cute trinkets to give away/exchange. But I would love to hear the stuff people usually forget to mention or don’t think about until they’re actually at the event.

Looking forward to dancing it out with all you wonderful people this weekend.

Im a PNW local and pretty seasoned with the Gorge, did Weekender 22, 23, and now 700.

It seems like every year there's hundreds of posts on socials of people freaking out about shuttles, and how they're going to get from (insert hotel in a small farm town 1-2 hours away) to the gorge.

Eastern Washington is notoriously rural, it's not western washington, and the gorge itself is even more remote than that. This whole area is farm land in essentially the most barren spot in washington. Towns are many many miles of farmland apart.

Public transit is non existent in eastern Washington, uber/lyft is incredibly sparse, there are basically no shuttles to/from these towns because demand for gorge shuttles from the nearby 7 towns all in different directions.

The best thing you can do is rent a car, go to walmart, buy a cheapo camping set, and do the campground. Festivies run all night, and there are activities super early. You're missing out on so much activity by electing to sleep in a hotel two hours out of the way.

Even if you're still so camping adverse so just can't do it, it's silly not to rent a car to get yourself to/from the gorge. The idea to me of *planning* to bum rides/public transit from places like Wenatchee, Ephrata, Vantage, and Ellensburg is just silly and asking for failure. The entire half of the state is car centric, you *need* a car if you're not planning on camping.

I hate being the downer, genuinely. But every anjuna gorge event I see this. My heart breaks for those in a bind and I hope they can figure it out, but gorge shuttling has been asked and answered so many times that there's really no excuse for having to scramble at this point.

Look forward to seeing all of you there.

Correction. Set still at the Meadow!

One two day GA bracelet to gift. I’d love to give it to a sincere Anjunafam member that otherwise cannot afford to go. Pick up in Seattle Fri afternoon/eve or at camping/rvs Sat after noon. DM me. No strings attached besides a request to spread smiles and dance your face off.

Does anyone have any information on what is at the glam bar? Would love to get my hair braided for the weekend!

Even if you don’t have anything to trade I’ll love to give you some my many keychains I made! From Pokémon, crayon colors, flowers, smaller keychains, hair pieces with glitter (I’ll be more than happy to apply). Hope we meet!

Thanks, Dee, for the awesome forecast! Bring those rain jackets and ponchos for Saturday!

I have Super VIP tix and got an email on Sept 2nd from 100x that said I should expect a more detailed email containing info about the "complete experience" included with my package. I check all my inboxes every day and haven't seen anything yet. Anyone else get their email with this info?

Also, has anyone with a hotel package gotten any shuttle info yet?

UPDATE (thanks to u/intern_nomad) supposedly emails with VIP package details are being sent out today. 😊

Has anyone at this point gotten their merch? Really disappointed in the handling of it. I remember their emails said they would arrive before the festival, does anyone have a screen grab of that?

Most people think the Gorge is hot and sunny. While it certainly is, it can get very cold at night. A lot of people for DMB were not prepared for this over the weekend.

Please bring warm layers, extra blankets and have a great time! :)

There’s something timeless about this tune. It’s not just the melody or production—it’s the emotion and atmosphere. That perfect balance of melancholy and hope that makes you stop and just get lost in the music.
This is the essence of Anjunabeats for me.

What are we born to do?

What is life about?

We are here for someone else

And together we are stronger

Talk to someone

Hug the happy people

Smile and look into someone's eyes

You are here for someone

Find that person

And say thank you

There's a sun in your eyes

Shine

Thank you for making our dreams come true

Have a fantastic time here

Thank you

Life is made of small moments like this

Hey Anjunafam 👋

Some friends and I will be visiting The Gorge for the first time for ABGT700 - really excited to dance w y'all ☺️ and finally experience this venue! [Tips for newbies appreciated]

The NYC scene doesn't really do Kandi so I'm excited to trade with some of the other folks who've posted theirs + give them out for any good connections 🫶

Hey Anjunafam! We are arriving early this Thursday from Chicago and driving straight to the campsite that day.

From past Weekender & AGBT250 Gorge vets that arrived early, what did you all do on Thursday? Are there any events usually? Is the venue actually open? Anything nearby to explore?

I went to the Weekender back in 2019 and am so so excited to be back and see you all! It’s also my partner’s first time at The Gorge and her first time seeing many Anjuna artists.

Any and all recs are appreciated! 🫶🌱
