Do you go to festivals alone?

Out of all the festivals I've been to, I've always gone with a few friends or met up with them at the event since we're all moving around a lot. It looks like this year will be harder to get everyone together for them all (lots of newborn hippie babes, people strapped for cash, etc..) so I'm goin to some other fests on my own in the middle of my journey on the road.

Have you ever gone to a fest or gathering alone? What was it like? Did you end up chillin w/new friends or did ya just wander free?

I'm kinda looking forward to ridin with the wind and doing exactly what I want to do when I want to do it.

 

at harvest fest (ar) last year i started out with four friends than each bailed cause of the hurricane on saturday. i stayed to catch umphreys and im so glad i did. they brought that fuckin tent down man fuckin indescribeable. i really enjoyed just being by myself i felt like there was absolutely nothing between me and the music and it was the fuckin tops man. ill be goin to bonnaroo by myself this year and i cannot wait. but ill probably no around 50 people at waka and harvest fest this year. i dont know i guess both are good just depending what u feel like

 

awesome

 

i went to gatherin of the vibes last year because my friend ended up not bein able to make it last minute. i ended up meetin new people and chillin with a bunch of differant people/ it wasnt bad at all. it was one of my favorite times

 

I'm goin' to 'roo this year, and it looks like I'll probably be "alone." All of my buds have bailed for one reason or another (family, cash, etc). One is left, and I think he's gonna bail on me too. :/

It's OK, though... I went alone last year while still mending a broken heart. Folks were very kind to this old man, and I saw some fabulous bands.

Just be careful and use your spidey-senses to avoid trouble. Don't EVER advertise that you're alone. That makes you a target for the bad guys. Just keep moving and act like your separated from your group for a while.

There's always some nice folks to talk to, and the environment is great. Have fun!

 

i've been to a concert alone, but never a festival. i dunno if i'd enjoy the campsite experience as much without people i knew. then again, you pretty much always meet cool people at shows, so who knows. shows are cool alone sometimes though. i find it's easier to let loose without anyone i know around.

 

yes, cause nobody loves me.

 

I went to the Dead show at the Gorge alone. It would have been a lot more fun if my friends had not been so lame and gotten tickets. But it was still fun, I met a lot of people... And the coolest bunch from Montana gave me a ride almost all the way home =)
