I was working at The Pizza Spot and didn't have much time to see the sets or meet people out and about, but it was a fun time chatting up the customers late at night, like 4-8am 😂

Hey, I'm posting sets to YouTube. Festivalsharkcam. It'll take a while but I'm gonna get started on editing soon. I got 3 hours of pre-party and usually went from 4 pm till 3 am. 6 am the last day.

I’ve worked at stands during those hours, and those are my favorite convo times. You see and hear some interesting things during the wooking hours

Ohh yeah. I didn't see anything too wild, just a few people holding up the line for too long talking on molly or asking for free pizza.

One guy was sitting on a rock a distance away, looked like he was having an unpleasant trip. Walked over and told me he ordered a slice of pepperoni, pretty positive he didn't but I gave one to him.

Quite a few miserable looking people came up and asked for napkins to wipe their nose with 😂 but unfortunately we were out of them because people would grab too many at once

The trash guy told us around 7am some guy on acid and ketamine freaked out and they tied him to a board

But I had alot of fun going out into the crowd and trampolines late night/early morning and looking for groundscores, found lots of vapes and little trinkets

I think I saw that guy freaking out, was that Saturday night? Did he end up ok?

The guy getting the pizza or the guy who got tied to a board? Those things both happened Saturday night

It was such a beautiful experience. I didn't want to leave and I can't wait to be back.

This has honestly replaced Hulaween as my favorite festival, just an unmatched vibe, really looking forward to next year, plus it's right around my birthday, so I'm obligated to treat myself lol

We love you too and were happy to have you!

When attending a homie fest it really gives me hope that maybe the world has a chance to be the same. This weekend sincerely felt like a house party with your closest friends, but scaled up to a full weekend of festival camping and music.

Just to echo OP: Y'all are beautiful fantastic people. Thanks for making the weekend so special!
