Alcohol, everywhere. Piss and mud. Bad food. But overall great vibes and happy people.

But I hate happy people

One of the best days of my life was Rolling Rock Town Fair July 2001 in PA.

>Just graduated High School
>Go with High School buddy
>His younger friend is also coming and the friend's dad is driving
>Younger friend is annoying as fuck
>Doesn't even know the bands
>Get to Rolling FUcking Rock Town Fair
>Hike 2 miles (no shit) from where we parked in some church field
>Totally run off ditching my friend and the annoying kid
>Get into the Staind pit and nearly pass out
>Choof my inhaler and am good to go
>Deftones goes on
>CHINO IS FUCKED UP
>Jumps off the stage and goes to the side I am on
>Crowd is going fucking apeshit
>Amazing set
>Walk to the food stand and go through mud city
>Topless Qt tackles me and covers me in mud while laughing maniacally
> Still a virgin and this was the closest I had ever been to a girl (Lost my v-card a few months later in college)

Will continue in a min

>campsite is an overcrowded cesspit
>as soon as the arena opens, people go straight to the main stage
>the only headliner you really like is at 9pm. You have to get there at 11am and stay all day if you want to see/hear them properly
>existential crisis at the sight of thousands of people staring at a faraway stage
>everyone present is an irritating, moronically happy, saccharinely 'far out' wanker
>the beer is so expensive, getting drunk costs the GDP of a small country
>exhausted by the pressure of trying to have a GREAT TIME like everyone else for three days straight
>go back to tent for needed rest
>some cunt nearby plays terrible covers indie rock covers on his acoustic guitar until 4am
>wake up in the morning grumpy, tired, aching from sleeping in a tent, and ready for another day of fun

>We both go to listen to Stone Temple Pilots headline the show
>R.I.P Scott
>Scott collapses on stage after the set is over

> "I AMMMMM SMELLING LIKE THE ROSE THAT SOMEBODY GAVE ME ON MY DEATH BEAD"
>Crowd is fucking nuclear right now. The energy was amazing
>Me and my friend go to wash off at the hose stations
>All the portapots are overflowing with shit and piss
>One kid is taking too long in the hose station and tells a bigger guy to fuck off when he asks him to hurry up

>Get back home
>Take hour long shower
>Go to bed and realize that my life is going to start to kick ass now that high school is over.
It was a good day.

you're not too old in your mid to late 20s you dingus, just go with a bunch of friends and you'll be fine. In my experience of festivals, they can be very temperamental, you can be having an amazing time but they can easily go to shit over little things. Went to Ynot festival in 2014, had a fucking crazy time, went back in 2015 and me and girlfriend were a little funny with each other at the time and the entire thing just didnt seem to click. Also, bad weather can fuck things over

Go to a fucking festival at least once in your life. Who cares how old you are, there is nothing like them.

remember to pace your drug intake and budget for like $150 + a day on drinks and food per person
