So I’m going to a Canadian festival roughly modeled after Burning Man alone this week. I’ve never gone to something like this before, but expect to have a weird time (hopefully in a good sense).

Have you ever gone to something kinda like this (BM itself, a regional burn, outdoor multi-day music festival with that kind of vibe)? I’d love to hear people’s stories/hard-earned wisdom.

    Last year I went to “Rock to the park”, a free Colombian rock/metal festival. I went inside the “pogos”, some sort of way of violent dancing common in metal concerts, where everybody pushes everybody. I stayed there basically all night, despite being a very thin and physically weak person.

    I think it was the most fun I’ve ever had in a social event.

      I love me a mosh pit! Mosh pit would be the north American term. From now on however, I call it a pogo

      Cheers.
