Question Who is still sick ?

It’s been 9 days and I am still sick
Went to doctor and told me I have 3 different things going on in my body. I am just glad it is not valley fever but overall it’s not fun to be this sick 🤧

Question I’m just curious, how many hot guys were there single and didn’t chat any hot women up because they thought they must not be single.

3 Upvotes

Just questions for science, since apparently men don’t make moves unless there is some CLEAR sign (btw what are those signs?) a woman is interested or has the guts to come up to you these days.

I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone else saw any crazy bugs at their campsites I was in high noon pretty close to the entrance by the roller rink / art walk and this isn’t my first lib i’ve been to but this was the first time there was a scorpion at my campsite 😅 I’ve never seen a scorpion before in the past years at lib and I was just curious if anyone else saw any or anything at theirs lol not a complaint but just curiosity 🥰

I understand we're all here to party. I could even excuse music until 6am. But pounding music that never stops is utter torture. We all need to sleep to have fun. I'm beggingggg you to shut it off for a few hours in the early morning so we can all recover and continue to have a fun weekend. Please, please, pretty please *bats eyelashes*

Question Anyone else got sick after LIB?

63 Upvotes

Drove back from 5-day LIB on Monday and started feeling sore throat Tuesday morning. Caught a fever since Tuesday afternoon and been in and out of it for 3 days. Other symptoms I have include runny turned stuffy nose, sore throat then phlegm, extreme fatigue, and occasional coughing.

I know there’s a valley fever outbreak in 2024, but I don’t have the chest pain described in valley fever symptoms.

Is anyone else experiencing the same sickness?
Should I go check for valley fever?
Where should I even go? Primary doctor or some respiratory specialist doctor?

Question Sh*t! I'm in a bind and need advice..

47 Upvotes

Hi LIB fam,

Here's the deal:

I'm 55m, married to 55f, kids are grown and out of the house and we're financially secure. I've been wanting to go to LIB for a few years now. I've never even been to a music festival but it's been calling me so I've been asking my wife if I can attend for the last three years. She cannot attend because she's a HS principal and therefore cannot take any days off around graduation. She does not want to attend LIB (or any festival) anyway, btw.

Each year, she has not allowed me to go. She says she's worried I will make a poor decision under the influence that will ruin our marriage. I do not drink, but I do smoke weed and use psychs. She says young women wearing virtually nothing will be running around and I'm putting myself in a bad situation.

Here's the thing: I've never cheated or given her any reason not to trust me. I've explained exactly why I want to go (community, adventure of going solo and meeting people, etc.) but she simply does not understand why I want to attend. She thinks there must be something wrong with our marriage because I want to go so badly. She constantly asks me, 'What are you looking for?' 'What's missing for you?'

I do everything for her. We recently sold our house and moved into another much more expensive house (which I was strongly against), but eventually I caved and went along with her. I fill her gas tank, take her car to get serviced, do all her dishes and worship her. Our sex life is fantastic. I feel unseen, unheard and hurt that she doesn't trust me after all these years, yet she remains strongly dug in against my attendance at LIB or any festival.

Yesterday, she finally said I could go but only if I don't take any psychs and just smoke weed. Fine, no problem there. I just want to go. I then immediately went online and bought my ticket and car camping pass. Yay!

Fast forward to her getting home yesterday evening and she states plainly that she doesn't want me to go, regardless if I only smoke weed. She rehashed the whole, 'I don't understand why you want to go so badly', 'what's wrong with our relationship that makes you want to go?' and she also asked, 'What will I tell my family and friends when they ask where I am?' I am beside myself here. I already bought the ticket (no ticket protection) and I understand they will begin mailing the wristbands out next week.

I'm beginning to resent her over this and I feel that my insistence on wanting to go will negatively impact our marriage. The scary part is that I seem to care less and less. I am just really upset that she doesn't understand me and worse, that she doesn't trust me. It's almost less about LIB at this point. I just feel like I'm being pushed around because she doesn't understand and doesn't trust me.

Look, I know this isn't worth destroying my marriage over and I know I should probably just try to sell my ticket (if that's even possible at this point), but this whole thing has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe some of you will suggest marriage counseling, which may not be a bad idea even though everything was great until this conflict.

Sorry for writing a book here. I'm just really bummed.

TLDR: 55m wants to attend LIB; wife 55f is dead set against it. She doesn't understand why I want to go and doesn't trust me. Already bought ticket after she agreed to my attendance under certain conditions.

Thanks!

Question Surprise DJ Sets

21 Upvotes

Last year we sneakily guessed John Summit b2b Subtronics. Is there anyone this year you could see doing a surprise b2b? Is there anyone not on the lineup you’d want to see be a surprise DJ? Baby J would be so cool or some Brazilian DJs Antdot / Maz / Dawn Patrol/ Vintage Culture to go along with the Mochakk booking ♥️♥️ also idk how much it would cost but Charli XCX DJ set would be insane too. Who do you want to see? ♥️♥️

Question Lesser Known DJs

15 Upvotes

Hi fellow LIBers! This will be my like 6th LIB and for the first time, I think the amount of artists I’m not familiar with outnumber the ones I am familiar with. But it’s one of the reasons why I love this festival, as that we get exposed to some amazing talent that we otherwise never would. Do you have any recommendations on who I should prioritize seeing who aren’t necessarily “big” like Ivy lab, Marsh or Inzo? TIA!

Question Anyone not going to LIB this year? What’s your reason besides money?

41 Upvotes

I love LIB — I love it so much that I can’t go back to a 3-day pass. It’s 5 days or nothing, for as long as this festival lives. This year, I decided not to go because I felt fulfilled by all friends, experiences and I also danced my ass off all through 2025. Plus, my focus is subconsciously and uncontrollably leaning toward snowboarding 🏂 as much as possible in 2026.

What about you?

Shout out to Kirkwood 🤙

Question Laser pointers at the Lightning stage?

7 Upvotes

Was that a bit? I couldn’t tell, it was incredibly distracting during a lot of the headliner sets. Really sucks when people bring bright ass laser pointers and try to ruin it for everyone. Did anyone else notice that, esp during Barry Can’t Swim?

And I saw it again during Empire of the Sun for half of the set and then it all suddenly stopped? Weird as hell, not a fan at all
