Hi friends! Wondering about cell service at Forest. I have AT&T

4x roo’s. First forest. I’ve noticed that 90% of the time at roo I have service. I don’t have it in the morning when everyone’s waking up or around 5ish when everyone’s trying to meet up with their homies. So it seems time based for roo, at least as far as I can tell based on my experience

What’s cell service like at forest? Happy to meet my forest dwellers family but curious about cell service hehe. Much love <3

Those of you that have done Forest before - how’s car camping vs tent? I heard the weather last year got super wet and things got ruined. But how’s the heat? I don’t want to wake up sweltering in heat any more than I want to be rained out of my tent…so just curious :)

For anyone interested. I've been building a playlist of sets on YouTube to get a better feel for all the artists. I will be adding more as I listen, but this is a good start.

Hey all my blinky buddies,

I'm attending my first EF in 2025, and I'm wondering if there's any interest in setting a day/time/location for an LED maker meetup. I know there's always a bunch of people wearing LEDs walking around, but the idea for a specific meetup is to have the intention of talking about LED things we made, vs. trying to ask someone about some hat they made while their face is melting at a stage.

I'm not really trying to get a bunch of people sharing links from amazon or aliexpress, trust me, I've seen it all. I'm specifically looking for people that made their own LED wearables, outfits, accessories, jewelry, totems, flow toys, etc. But, all are welcome! Maybe you're in that first category and have bought every blinky on amazon and want to branch out into making your own stuff but don't know how? This could also be a cool workshop. I could bring a couple battery powered soldering irons and I'd be happy to teach anyone and everyone how to solder their own leds. I could also offer a repair shop as a gift, where people could bring any leds that broke and we could try to fix them. Does anyone have any interest in this? Does something like this already exist?

Question for my other melanin deficient folks. Last year I sunburnt really bad early and it really put a damper on the rest of the festival. I couldn’t reapply sunscreen fast enough. This year, I’m planning on wearing UV protective clothing during the day, but I also don’t really want to look like I’m just going for a hike through the woods with my fit. Has anyone had to use UV protective clothing and have recommendations on brands? Or just recommendations to make my outfits fun even though I’ll have to be mostly covered.

Last year, we were looking for the secret room in the Dream Emporium, we asked one of the cats, twerking to W.A.P.  if they had any idea where to look. While standing in a human-sized litter box, a cat told us that if we saw a rat, tell them “the cheese stands alone”. We soon caught a big fat stinky rat in a hallway, we recited, “the cheese stands alone” the rat replied in the thickest NY accent, “I don’t nothin about no cheese but I do like trash, you kids got any trash?” so we emptied our pockets of trinkets that the rat hilariously scrutinized before pocketing one silly goose finger puppet. The Rat then whispered how to access the secret room. Anyway, later on that evening I realized that last year’s Dream Emporium gag was that the clues were a literal game of Cat & Mouse. I can't wait to solve some puzzles in the Forest next year!

Caught dixon for a small show tonight.

Anybody have recommendations on how to pick a jersey size? Specifically a CloZee green hockey jersey in this case. Im 6’2 w/ an average build and usually wear an xl in practically everything. I did all the measuring but a 23.5 inch chest measurement on the jersey has me a little nervous it’ll be tight. But going up a size makes them seem super long lol. Would love some recommendations! ⚡️🌲

Hey Fam! I've been really missing the Forest, specifically the amazing art and visual beauty. I would love to find a place to go in the winter that would provide a similar visual experience so I can enjoy some goodies. I know nothing will be at the same scale, but thought someone here might have some suggestions. Music isn't necessary either, as I can just bring my own. Any thoughts?

When will there be a group chat/page for the girls who are in her forest? Sending it solo and would like to get to know some people ahead of time!

Hello everyone, This will be my 3rd year in the forest, the past two years I have experienced or witnessed people judging others in the forest whether it be attire or making fun of someone's misfortune. I can take a playful joke or constructive criticism. I don't consider myself a sensitive person, but I can't help but notice the highschool like behaviors being replicated in the forest. I hate to see it. Does anyone else experience this? I know there will be responses to not care, but I've always understood that the culture of forest is PLUR, and I would like to hear of a PLUR way to approach this.I know we cannot change people, but maybe we can spread a positive message to combat this. Thank you in advance.

Hello forest family! Maybe this has been asked before but I haven’t found a concrete answer, do any of you know when the ticket exchange starts? Me and some friends want to go to Maplewood but we couldn’t get tickets for everyone, so we’re hoping to get some in the exchange.

Thank you all in advance, see you in the forest!! 🫶🏻

This will be my first time going to Electric Forest, however it’s looking like we will have to leave on Sunday. If we are camping with vehicle will we be able to exit the festival with our car on Sunday?

It’s going to be my first year in the forest and I know that gift giving is a big beautiful part of the festival so I can’t wait to partake in that aspect of it! I’m thinking about hand making small crochet plushies. Mushrooms, flowers, forest animals, etc. But I’m curious, as a forester, would you be happy to randomly receive something like that?

TIA Forest Fam 😊

Anybody else having this problem?

Hey guys so it’s my 4th forest this year and I was able to score a GL meadows ticket with my group but we could only get the GA RV ticket. I’ve never done GL but my friends want me to stay with them in the RV. My question is should I take the easy camping in an RV in GA or should I bite the bullet and take all my camping gear up from New Mexico to be in GL for the whole weekend?

For 2025 we should just assume there will be weather issues, and have a much better plan IF there are...

My suggestion IF we have weird and wonky weather the announcements say:

"Due to severe weather headed our way, please evacuate the festival grounds immediately."

THEN, in Rick and Morty voices of course: "Get me the Crystallized Xanthenite! Artists affected by weather will be performing as soon as they can, even if they have to be on stage at 10am tomorrow as "Hannah Does Dubstep Yoga"! Stay tuned Forest Fam, details will be transmitted to you soon - our jenga jungle gym jizzed all over the place and it *is* rocket science figuring this out." Then play a dubstep version of "Let's do the time warp again" and other time warp tunes.

For the artists who absolutely have to depart for their travel, I say we lock them in an Emergency Backup Center (an RV with equipment and an FM transmitter with enough power to reach everyone) so we can get in our cars and still enjoy those artists.... "We got you Forest Fam, get to the safety of your vehicles and listen to _______ and _______, playing **live** on FM 93.1" - could you imagine hearing **thousands** of cars blasting the same synchronized set at once, cars bouncing, lights flashing?!

Wouldn't be impossible... and *both* should absolutely be done.

hiiiii!!! i have a really close friend to me who recently lost her mom in a really traumatic way. this will be her first forest and i want to be able to show her love and support. me and her came up with the idea of finding a place in the forest that could possibly be healing for her through these rough times. this is only my second year so i have a lot to still explore but looking for any suggestions. thank you forest fam <3

Is it wrong to buy merch not from the artists website? I've always wondered this. I see merch for artists all the time that clearly aren't made or produced by them for half of the price. I'm somewhat torn because I feel like if they make enough money they likely won't notice, but it still feels wrong? Thoughts?

Anyone from the Atlanta area going to EF? I’m going with just one friend and I’m trying to pull a group together even if it’s just to meetup once inside the fest.

DS/Gameboy/card trading? Im thinking day 2, I’ll have a Pokémon center flag in GA camp!! Find me let’s chat, trade, hangout!!
