First of all, you'll end up building up the event to a point where it can't possibly live up to your elevated expectations. As a result, you'll end up coming back and maybe being disappointed and / or suffer from heavy post event blues, which is the worst.

Love this. I experienced this after my first EDC. First one? Omg mind blowingly amazing experience of my life. I consider it to be one of the best moments of my life. But suddenly, edc was always on my mind. Couldn't wait to get to my next festival. Next one? Nocturnal. Totally disappointing for reasons I wont get into and it was so frustrating to not be able to re-experience that pure joy I experienced at my first edc. My second edc rolled around and I was like "here we go, this is it!" Annnnnnnnndddddddd it was no where frkn close to being like the experience I had the first time and I was so sad over it. Been to more festivals since then and it's been a "you win some you lose some" type situation. Have had some great experiences and then some "gosh, I hate this, why do I still go to these things" experiences.

At this point, I only bother going to edc anymore . And I still love it. But I've come to accept I will never experience what I did at my first one. (Probably because of the newness and novelty of the first one, and Probably because there was a certain substance involved at the first one and none at the rest of the ones I've attended)

Anyway, enjoyed your thoughts!
