2019/05/17 My 5th EDC - Electric Daisy Carnival in Vegas
π 2019-05-17 01:01 in Clubbing, Edc, Festivals
Can't believe it's been 5 years since my first EDC already, time flies.
Having learned from previous years (both EDC with the bus system, and me), I left vegas earlier (17:30 to 17:45 all 3 days), which meant not bus line, and that was great.




The shortcut through the air force base was not always faster depending on traffic to get there, but was a mostly reliable 1-1.5H trip:

empty bus line yipee!

Sadly, there was a lot of wind on day 2 and day3. It caused a shutdown of some stages on the 2nd day:

Then, the last day, the hardest one on your energy bank :)






Ruben was nice enough to take a picture with me
