FORM Arcosanti Festival
I am so stoked right now, and kind of stunned.
Until yesterday I thought I wasn't going to get to go with tickets costing $1000+. Then I happened to look, and it turns out there are a lot of people selling a lot lower. I scored one that was decent priced. Still kind of ouch at $275, but when I saw there were TWO Tycho sets... Ok, ok, we're getting our money's worth. Since it is practically in my backyard ( in AZ 30-40 min is close! Like that's the closest Tycho has ever been to me, so you can see why I was a bummed out earlier at not getting to go) I can just go home and then come back next day, no need to spend on lodging. -> I don't want to car camp.
Then I found out there are actually THREE Tycho DJ sets, ommmggggg whuuuuttt?! Good thing he loves his job, they puttin' him to WORK. :) I might not be able to get into the last one because it's a Pool Party and I heard the pool can have a really long line/wait. The Envelope set ends only an hour before the pool set starts. In that case I hope I can lurk awkwardly by the entrance and hear the set ( Update: a person who had gone before says I'll be able to hear the music, but it'll be hot. Will bring umbrella). I don't intend to get in the pool, I lobster really easily. Also, I can't swim.
I'm really looking forward to the Envelope experience. I attended the online one a few years back and it was pretty cool. I reeeeaalllyyy hope Scott plays the Forge Dub from the Burning Man set, because I want to crawl inside that song. I know it sounds weird, but I don't know how else to describe the feeling. It's probably the most immersive Big Wall of Sound Tycho song I've heard, like so much Big Wall of Sound all the time, no stinginess. I literally cried when I first heard it.
So yeah, now I need to figure out where I put my clear festival bag that I just tidied away. I'm so happy because I've wanted to catch a DJ set for some time.
Interestingly, the person who sold their early bird ticket to me was selling because their friend backed out last minute. Their friend had been going to see Tycho.
