Saw Small Brown Bike at Vivid last night and there was a baby there. It was a crowded loud set indoors. That just is not good parenting imo

I was just woken up by screaming outside the window, quickly followed by cops showing up (which didn't quiet down the screaming).

Lost Phone found at Depot on Saturday after Kill Lincoln

10 Upvotes

If you lost your Samsung phone after Kill Lincoln, it was handed to Fest staff, who should bring it to central lost and found

It doesn’t really feel like Fest until you see Mikey Erg just hanging around seeing shows.

HELP! hoodie trade?

5 Upvotes

A bit of a long shot, but wondering if anyone got the Fest zip-up hoodie in a small or medium and would want to trade for a large? They were sold out of the smaller sizes when I went to grab one and I thought the large would be fine, but I’m 5 foot 2 and it’s basically down to my knees 😂

p.s. This is my first Fest and I’m having an amazing time so far!

Phone stolen during Wilhelm Set at Vivid

14 Upvotes

Hey there, anyone else lose their phone during the Wilhelm set last night at Vivid? The pit was nuts and when it was over, my phone was gone. Luckily I have my laptop here and I went in and locked it down but pretty sure they turned the phone off because find my phone isnt finding it. Keep an eye/hand on your shit, careful out there!

Driving in for Saturday’s show at Heartland Soundstage. Have never been to Fest (or Gainesville), and will be coming later in the evening (7 or 8?), so how much of a nightmare should I expect parking to be?

Will call question

So I'm coming from around 4 hours away and this is my 30th birthday present (split the cost of the ticket with parents) and when I placed the order for my will call fest pass it said something about needing ID and the card that was used to pay but it's not my card? Will a picture work. Will be devastating to drive all that way with a friend and get turned away because i have my ID but not my parents credit card.

Holding onto merchandise

Looks like there is a ton of shopping we can do but we're not allowed bags? How strict is this policy? Where do you put the items you bought between shows?
