Eco-friendly gifts and trinkets

I recently saw a video discussing how much trash trinkets sadly have caused. Mostly little plastic stuff. I am guilty of being apart of this trend, such as gluing little plastic owls on clips.

Other than Kandi, patches, gum/candy, what are some good gifts and trinkets to give to other ravers?

Update: Forgot to mention one of the coolest ideas was people getting cheap water bottles or notebooks to put stickers they get at a festival.

Where to see the Perseid Meteor Shower tonight?

I’m so frustrated. Maybe someone can help? The meteor shower is suppose to be best seen between 2am-4am. Originally, I was gonna go to Kneeland Airport, but there’s suppose to be cloud cover. Then I thought of going to the Vista Point on the 299 or Horse Mountain, but there’s a fire out in Hoopa, which could means smoke. Where’s another spot to go to? I was thinking of going to a vista point on the 101 south near Stafford, but that’s also looking like there might be cloud coverage. HELP! Here’s a photo of cloud coverage around 2am

Update: Thank you guys for your feedback! We’ve decided to go towards Berry Summit, possibly Horse Mountain. Checked with a friend earlier living in Willow creek and said there’s a little bit of haze but not bad. Kneeland I’m hearing from both here and the Astronomers of Humboldt’s Facebook page that there is fog and/or clouds.

penguinz0/ Moist Critical mentions Tool’s song “Vicarious” regarding people’s desire for negativity

In a recent video from Moistcritical, Charlie talks about the annoyance he has to people wanting things to be bad, because bad=views views=interaction interactions=money. This is in regards to video games. He says how it’s not new, and name drops Tool’s song “Vicarious” as a perfect example embodying this phenomenon. Go to 2:00.

Friendly Reminder: Do NOT touch the dancers at the Bunker stage

This is an obvious "no shit" post. But last year, I saw some jackass slap a dancer's ass who was on stage at the bunker. I grabbed him and told him off, like bro, her shaking her butt is not an invite! Luckily security pushed him away, and we told his group of friends what he did. My husband and I kept a close watch on this group. But yeah, don't be this dude. Or better yet, if you see something...say something! Most people going are wonderful human beings having a good time. But there will always be creeps among us, so just keep an eye out.

Can't wait to see yall this weekend! Drive safe!

GHB is STUPID: Change my mind

I have friends who work in the medical tents at festivals and raves. They see all kinds of overdoses, accidents, ect. But by far the worst, in terms of life threatening, is people doing GHB. Even worse is drinking AND doing GHB. We are talking having to intubate these people so they can breathe. Why are people literally giving themselves date-rape drugs? Not only do you not remember anything, you can put yourself in a vulnerable position, and it can affect your respiratory system.

Please DONT! They are many other fun options to do.
