Lol, nice

Thanks arrall! :) I like the title.

I'm going to a small Burn on Friday, gonna be there through Monday. So excited, it's the only Burn I've been to, but this will be the third time I've gone there. It got cancelled last year. I'm going with one of my best friends and his partner (also my good friend) and their kids (also my friends!), and we're camping in a theme camp this year, with some other friends. It's gonna be so much fun! I can't wait. I'm gonna trip a couple of times. Haven't decided on what yet, but definitely AMT one of the days, and probably DOC, or maybe I'll finally try DOB. I'm going to bring some mushrooms and DMT as "currency", since you don't spend money at a Burn (except to buy the ticket).

It's at a peacock farm in the low mountains, an extremely beautiful spot. About 300-400 people, so quite small, my favorite size of festival-type gathering.

Then the week after that, my band is playing a festival, the largest we've ever played, about 15-20 thousand people, I'm super excited about that. Then a few weeks after that, we're playing one of m favorite festivals, it'll be my 4th time playing that festival, it's about 700 people, but last time it was just perfect, so much fun, and I have some good friends coming who I am really glad to be able to be there with, including my buddy I used to be in a band with who joined another band who gigs constantly and I almost never see him, his band is also playing there. Then for a couple of weekends after that, we're doing some weekends across a few towns within a few hours, playing some great venues, and then at the end of July, me and my girlfriend are going to visit my family and we're going up to northern Wisconsin to my grandma's lake house which is where I grew up on the lake every summer, to one of my favorite places on the world. Then we have a few more festivals through the end of September. Summer is finally upon us! I'm really excited about it. :)

Thanks! I certainly will. This thing is about the most fun one can have, and this year I'm with a theme camp which is gonna be even better. And some of my best friends, and their kids, who are awesome.

I am torn between DOC and DOB. DOC is the tried and true, I am certain I will have the greatest time on it. It's very pro-social and I get into the festival zone with it really well. DOB is an unknown since I haven't tried it yet. I think it'll probably be similar enough to DOC, but I don't want to end up feeling antisocial. But there are few opportunities for the DOXs and I have wanted to try DOB for a LONG time.

I am also going to take AMT another day, and maybe add some 2C-B after the peak, at night.

Fair enough, I think I just want to finally read about your experience with DOB so that it makes me feel better that I have been postponing my DOB trip for such a long time lol. You could also try TMA-2, sounds like it could be a lot of fun in a festival environment.

Sounds like a plan. Man, I need to step my game up. I also have a bunch of AMT lying around that I finally need to try.

I don't know if have that many balls 😅 DOC is just so perfect, I'm probably gonna go with that.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll do a little reading on it to refresh my impression. But... I dunno. Again, DOC is just so perfect. I definitely want to try DOB and TMA-2, very much so, though.
 
Sweet title, king arrall. Haha it's time to wake up from the matrix!
 
Yea I hit my first festival of the season about 2wks back, besides those chicks freaking out it was a damn good time.

So this festival used to do all night music, in the beginning it’d go from 10am to like 7-8am rinse and repeat. But the most recent venues sound ordinances force live music to end at 1am sadly. I really miss those sunrise sets.

That said they started doing silent disco. First couple years I didn’t go cuz I heard the headphones sucked but this time I was hearing the headphones actually banged to the point they’d rattle on your head so figured why the fuck not..

Actually turned out to be a lot of fun. It was a two channel setup with the artists essentially battling for your listening. I can only imagine the ego boost it would be to be throwing the beats that keep everyone’s headphones lit up your channel color. Sound was really good too and something about being cut off from the outside world makes for a different feeling to the dance. On the downside it felt weird to try and talk with other people, very jarring to all the sudden have it go quiet when you take them off.

Overall though had an absolute blast. All 3 sound systems were on point, they actually reduced the overall size of 2 of them which made for a crispier cleaner sound. The Void Acoustics stage though, oh my god man… It was insanity all weekend.

I love stages that have no visual setups, just a couple lights around the stage to light up the rig and all about the music. This stage was like that, there’s a very neo-tribal feel to it all. Sound so massive you see it whether it’s from your eye balls jiggling around in your skull or the couple hits of LSD allowing you to finally see the bass. Dust was flying up in the air from a combination of the sound system and people losing their minds. Moments like those I’ll stop and look around, and it all feels surreal to me.

This festival is really nice too in that I know so many people there now. It being so small and going for so long I see lots of the same friendly faces.

Now 3 more to go this year :)

Awesome, I love festivals, basically the pinnacle of a good time. This weekend's is a Burn so not a music festival, though people play music and at night some of the theme camps have electronic music. But the following weekend is my first festival of the summer, it's actually going to be the second largest festival I've ever been to, and we're playing at it which is awesome. Then at the end of June we are playing another festival, and then at the end of August we're playing another one. It's unlikely we'll get on any more lineups for this year, but the goal for next year is more. In 2019 we played in 4 festivals and I also went to another as a guest with my friend's band.
 
Doing pretty well I took 3/4th of a Zyprexa last night and I was able to sleep with the help of Diphenhydramine for a long time. I'm gonna be supplementing with these Ginger Capsules that my girlfriend brought me and hopefully taking those will help keep the stomach issues in check. Have a good feeling though that this is gonna be much better method for me and I will have success in the end. Really wanna just be free of this stuff and start the next chapter in my journey.

Been doing this thing with my girlfriend where we watch the same show when we can simultaneously starting it and we chat about what's going on and it's really fun. Feels like a way to be closer in the time we are apart being in a long distance relationship is tuff especially cuz I only get to see her once or twice a week cuz of the visiting schedule here. We are watching the show Altered Carbon on Netflix which is just fantastic. In the past I saw the first two episodes so I never got to finish it and now we are gonna be watching both seasons.

For that festival @Xorkoth I'd say that DOC and aMT would be perfect choices and I couldn't think of two better drugs for a situation like that. The last festival I went to was Electric Zoo in NYC and it was before COVID and it was so much fun, but I only went one day. I took a combination of 2C-D/2C-C and dosed simultaneously but because of the short duration it was a poor choice. I was coming down like halfway through the day, lol. But when I was peaking and dancing to the music it was pretty damn amazing.

I'd think that aMT would be so special cuz it's wonderful empathogenic drug and your gonna be around so many happy, smiling people it will make you wanna share the love for sure. When I take that drug I just can't stop smiling for the life of me and it makes music sound so good. I'd say that you would probably be okay with the DOB cuz your so experienced with psychs but if you would feel more comfortable doing it back at home or hiking maybe that would be for the best.

@Xorkoth That sounds like a ton of fun. Let me know how the burn is. I found TMA-2 very easy to handle at 30mg, but have yet to try a DOx to compare it to. I'd suggest taking 40-50mg if you go with TMA-2.
DOB sounds extremely strong. I don't know if I'd try a new phenethylamine for the first time at a festival, but you know your own limits. If it was me, I'd probably go with DOC since you know how you react to it very well.

@Cosmic Charlie Glad to hear you are doing better. Ginger capsules really work wonders. I've been taking them daily for the past 6 months or so and my quality of life is honestly a lot better.
Altered Carbon is a great show (Well the 1st season at least). Enjoy!
 
I don't think I like psilacetin at all anymore. It has a nice body high to it sometimes, but... it's just not worth it.
