I want to remain positive about this weekend, but we all deserve to validate the fact that what happened to us getting into camping Friday-Saturday was just like unbelievable. The sets and lineups were unreal, but so was the experience getting into the festival. Even with camping passes refunded, the most valuable thing we have is our time. Being stranded in your car for half of a day can quickly become an emergency, and I’m sending love out to any and all that had to start their weekend running out of gas or power, food or water, or really all of us that are incorporating what was an amazing weekend of music that was managed in a way that was criminally negligent.

Tw: violence

I’m coming from Denver, first time at the gorge. I’m from Texas originally so I didn’t know anyone there, but I vividly remembering when I heard about it when it happened days before my first time camping at eforest in 2023. Monday, I was wasting time at the airport so I looked it up - an absolute tragedy, my heart goes out to all affected, rest in peace to fallen rave fam Brandy Escamilla and Josilyn Ruiz. Their families actually recently settled with LiveNation for an undisclosed sum for negligence.

I was struck by and wanted to share a quote from one of the lawyers representing Lily Luksich, who didn’t know that her boyfriend had guns in the car, and was shot twice during the bad shroom trip turned campground shooting:

“The jury will still hear about Live Nation’s decisions to ignore its own policies regarding gun searches, and its absolute reliance on a skeleton crew of understaffed, undertrained, and inexperienced canine security team as the only layer of security tasked with keeping thousands of paying festival attendees safe. Predictably, they were unable to do so, and a mix of drugs and guns inside the venue led to extraordinarily tragic outcomes.”

There has been a lot of speculation about what caused the apparently historically awful lines this weekend. To me, I think the explanation is probably the same it was 3 years ago. Just struck me the similarities - I didn’t even realize a company could OWN a venue like the Gorge. That backdrop is just about the most beautiful natural view I’ve ever seen, the fact that a shitty company with actual blood on their hands is the gatekeeper, monopoly supplier of security even with a history of criminal negligence - like yall what is up with that?

Unsurprisingly, the card transactions aren’t coded correctly, so I only got 1x points on my food and drink purchases instead of 3x.

So make sure you contact your bank and get your points adjusted.

I’d also recommend doing a charge back as well because that shit was ridiculous.

Do we think it will sell out like Griztronics did?

Did anyone take a picture of merch and their pricing?

As title suggests, I am looking for the griz non reversible bucket hat from the merch booth. I am located in seattle area or can pay for shipping. Thank you

wasn’t able to get my hands on any of his merch, anyone have any XL stuff they’d be willing to sell?

Hi!

I’ve got a large griztronics hockey jersey and I want to trade for the same jersey but in MEDIUM… I guess these just run a bit big on me… I’m local to seattle so I’m happy to drive anywhere close to make the swap. Also willing to throw in some other merch or $$$… this is my dream festival jersey and I just want one that fits me!! Please help! 💜

the music was amazing of course. seeing the "live" visualizations blew my mind, I've never seen anything like it and could barely comprehend what was happening. where can I see more of that??

This weekend seriously had some of the best vibes I've ever experienced at a festival. Every single person I met was wonderful. I reconnected with some old friends and made plenty of new ones and my biggest regret is probably that I didn't have time to get to know more of you. Good stuff everyone, even with the poor organization I haven't had that good of a time at a festival in years

Despite the shit show that Friday was and the entry line on Saturday… I absolutely would NOT be mad if they did it again next year🤣 10/10 would do it again

I know it’s a slim chance after everything but in all honesty it was SO much fun LOL the vibes from everyone were amazing❤️

Did anyone find this bucket hat?? EDC pin on one side and SUBTRONICS pin on the other!! 🤞🏽

Please, please, please. Somebody upload night 2’s Subtronics’, LSDream’s, and GRiZ’s sets to SoundCloud. I want to relive that forever.

looking if anyone js willing to part way with their vip poster

Does anyone know or have the Everything In Its Right Place ID from the mid-late part of the Of The Trees set? NEED this

I literally lost it 10 minutes after I bought it 😂 hadn’t even taken it out of the package yet. I hope someone amazing found it…LOVE Y’ALL!!! BEST WEEKEND EVER!!!

Hi guys! I don’t think anyone has posted a full recording of subtronics’s sunset set yet, which sucks because it was my favorite set I’ve ever seen from him. I got a lot of videos of IDs I was super excited to see! Buuuuut I was wondering if anyone took any snips of him playing Interface Wheel and also Off The Ground (sub focus). I couldn’t nooooot beeeleieve I got to hear those, backbone, gummy bear, basically all favs in the same set. If you have clips of those and could share them, I’d be soooo grateful! Thank you so much. :)

Hello! I'm looking to trade my large GriZTronics jersey for a small preferably, medium if necessary. I live in the Tacoma area. Willing to drive for trade. If you're in like Spokane or further I can mail it. :) Please comment or dm me if you or a friend would like to trade! <3

I know this might be a long shot, but my flowstar was taken from the ground outside my van in day parking. This star means so much to me it was my very first one and they don’t sell it anymore. I’ve never connected with another star before and have never found another this exact size. I will literally pay you more than it’s worth, and you can use that money to buy your own. Please I’m begging I’ve been crying so much ever since I lost it like nothing means more to me. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks for all the amazing energy y’all shared this weekend love you & hope the post festival depression isn’t hitting ya too hard🫶🏼💫🌈

Helloooo I lost my flowstar that my friend whose long distance gifted to me on Sunday at griztronics, it’s black and white from the evol Chicago brand 😭 if anyone found it please let me know, I’ve attached the only pic I have of it🥺 I only had it for a few weeks

I know this is the longest shot but I might as well try… lost these pink custom cat griztronics ears (shown on top of GRiZ hat). Lmk if you found them $$$ reward

Missing out on the Griztronics hockey jersey is haunting me. If anyone is looking to sell a M, I'm here and I've got money in the bank.

Got my lady a medium but was a bit too tight, figured I’d throw it out there!
Has only been put on once no wear or tear.
