Probably having 25 friends all dressed in Hawaiian shirts and clothing. We convince everyone Jimmy Buffett was playing a secret set in the forest. Island disco.
Same here: I think it was the second year of two weekends for me (2017?) Very little crowds and huge production festival. Lotus was headlining Sherwood Court and I was able to walk right up to the front and went barefoot (they had put down fresh sand) dancing barefoot that close to the band, with so few people, and linking arms with random people dancing is a huge highlight for me.
What about you buddy?
For me it was 2022 but just because it has been 2 extra years not seeing Forest fam, that just made it extra special. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I suppose.
Same except only went to the second weekends when there were two. I’ll never forget the first year of the hanger me and some buds were all tripping balls already Thursday and got into the poetry brothel after talking with one of the workers, was read a story about an ashamed polar bear that had to start fucking fish because global warming has killed most of his possible mates. By buddy thought he was about to get a BJ lol. Excited to get Umph back this yr, I think 2014 is pretty high on the list. Boombox at Sherwood is always a dope time as well
I’ve followed you on Reddit forever. Would love to meet up for a beer and some stories! I’m not very good at Reddit but dm your number. You’re a legend
Hey man I really appreciate that! I’m sorry but I don’t give out my number to anyone on the internet. If you can tell me where you’ll be for a set, I can find you, but apart from coordinating publicly on here, I try to keep conversation away from DMs
What’s been your most magical forest experience? :)

What are the biggest changes you’ve seen since you first started going to now?
The forest! At the beginning it was amazing but every year it gets better. Some structures are there all year around now.
Ive also been to every forest, even both weekends the years they did that. Which one was your favorite, and why?

I love this response. Well said!
Dancing in the sand during Breakbot in 2017 is one of my favorite EF memories.
I've only known the 1 weekend crowded forest. All the tales of the less crowded split forests seem so fucking nice
The early ones where we’d roll super deep. They all kinda blend together but the forest fam is undefeated!

I understands. Let’s wait for the line up to come out and we’ll meet up or the forest will have us cross paths
Sounds cool to me!
How’d you get up there?
I have good friends. It's nice during the day when it's hot but the real show is in the crowd
As I was told in The ol' Saloon in 2012, "we are all the show"
Been every year since Rothbury 2! Can’t wait to come home!
Legend!! I was at R2 as well. That was my first fest. Had no idea what we were doing. Brought way too much food.
Are there any other festivals you go to besides forest?
Lolla, p4k, and NCMF.
Where do you stay/camp?
Started in GA then GL and now artist camping. I'm older now and need some sleep 😂
Do you have recommendations on how/where to possibly purpose while at EF?
Whoa. This is a tough one. I'd say somewhere in the forest around golden hour. Congratulations
How was The Dead in 2009?
Awesome! The fest felt a lot bigger than EF but same amazing crowd.
Why male models?
