Podcast FeatureHow do you survive at a festival? (Dedicated to my seasoned listeners.)

  • It’s a marathon – pace yourself.
  • Stay hydrated!
  • Most events don’t have seating accommodations in GA. Also, bathrooms are better in VIP.
  • Older people and younger people can be equally annoying.
  • Alcohol costs a lot – pregame. Or take an edible.
  • Mixed drinks are expensive, and usually watered down. Stick with beer or wine.
  • Bring a charger, water bottle, sweatshirt, earplugs (Eargasm is my choice), and sunscreen.
  • When texting people, include the time you text them in the message. Signals can be bad. And have meet-up points.
  • Go solo if friends weigh you down.
