Electric Forest 2024
I’ve been so busy with my own work that I’ve completely forgotten about Electric Forest 2024. Just about every festival that has passed since winter has slipped my mind. I just saw a post on Twitter by Kyle Hollingsworth who had just stolen someone’s cart in Forest. Shame on you Kyle, but I agree. Steal that cart, as long as you help other people and quickly bring it back. That’s how we all roll #PLUR.
My First Electric Forest
I can’t remember what year it was that I did my first Forest. It happened by accident, actually. There may have been 1 or 2 other festivals before that but I don’t remember too clearly. Anyway, my point is that I never intended on going to a music festival. Not on purpose. I’ve never been interested in being outside around thousands of strangers just wandering around like zombies. Maybe, 4 years ago, when I heard the word festival, images of medieval garments, dresses, hay and donkeys would come to my mind. I’d imagine wooden toilets with no water that lead directly to the grass on the ground. I have no idea why the word festival and that specific piece of scenery are tied together for me but that’s the primary reason I never went to one.
First Time In Sherwood
The first time that I realized that I was walking through a nationally known location, Sherwood Forest, I heard a magical, feminine voice floating over the restrooms and through the leaves. I rushed away from the food area towards the stage that I thought this sound was coming from. It was a lady singing but, I couldn’t tell if it was live or recorded. No one should be performing yet, the Forest just opened. I walked across an empty field with a fifteen dollar beer in hand to discover Sylvan Esso. This was the first time that I had ever heard of them. I was so impressed because I didn’t think it was real. Keep in mind, this might have been my 4th beer in like thirty minutes, the park was still quite empty. I wanted her to know how great she sounded, she seemed kind of annoyed. That was cool with me, at least she told me her name.
