    Rothbury 2009 changed my life. It was a time when the electronic & jam world fully joined together. When they cancelled the festival in 2010, I cried. How could they take this magical fantasy land away from us?? When String Cheese & Co brought the festival back in 2011, I also cried... this time tears of pure elation. I've bought EF tickets for friends because I just knew they "had to go". I'm no longer obsessed as I once was, having used to always try to slip "Electric Forest" into any conversation. Now it's just part of my existence. This will be my 8th time and every year they always somehow top the last. 2022 is gonna be somethin real special. ❤️

      I feel u so much on the heartbreak of 2010. The 1st Rothbury was festival perfect 🥰 best vibes ever! Then it was almost gone due to bankruptcy. Then Rothbury came back! So happy our festival was saved! And it's in our state! We're in Detroit. When it became Electric Forest saved by String Cheese 🧀 🙌 😍💘💯 & Insomniac in 2011 was not the same as Rothbury as far as the strong efforts to protect the earth & recycling, & yes some stuff was different like less jambands, but it was still THE BEST FESTIVAL out there!! Its a Magical place. I was forever grateful it was saved🙏✝️🎉🎆So many happy musical memories 💓 We bought tix as always every year, but in June 2018 my mom was diagnosed with Lung cancer stage 3b. 💔 I didn't know what was going to happen so I told Bill to either go solo, or sell both tix. We had 2nd weekend. He didn't go without me💞 🏆
      Tbh - I was not happy about splitting the weekends 😕 The next year it would be his mom that was losing her battle with breast cancer. We again missed our 2nd Electric Forest.
      Fun facts: I actually got my picture taken Rothbury 2009 dancing 💃 at the rail that Thursdays for Perpetual Groove & put in the Detroit News & Detroit Free Press the 4th of July paper. The picture on the website of someone's hand with a bubble gun & wearing a hat with all these circles that look like bubbles is actually me!! It's a Montreal Exposes hat but the design makes it look like the letters DB next to each other (for Disco Biscuits). The Double JJ Ranch & Electric Forest my happy place. It is our home & our family. It is where my favorite genres of music all come together ❤ 😌 💕 I scattered some of my friend's ashes there & sprinkled some in the reincarnation garden. String Cheese Saturday night madness is THE BEST TIME! I'm crying typing this. U just have to come experience it, & join the fam. OH BTW the 1st year at Rothbury, we were actually part of the group of people going around the forest & screaming with Carl's family looking for him. It grew into a group & that's why u always hear people yelling CARL!!! LOL. no one knows if Carl was ever found. Lol. PLUR miss u Forest fam 🫂🙏💖💝💜💚💛🧡❤❣

    Thank you thank you thank you Forest Fam!! My first forest was 2015, and haven’t missed one yet, well besides the “Covid Years” lol my wife and I actually got married in the Forest in 2018, nothing like getting married and having 40,000 best men and brides maids. Lol Electric Forest CHANGED MY LIFE in 2015, and as we were pulling off the property to head back to Tennessee I began to cry, but not dad tears but happy tears. You see my eyes were opened to how human interaction should be, there were over 30,000 people there from all different walks of life, and you know what, we all got along with each other, there is no hostility in the air at all. Electric Forest is a magical place, it’s the only place where The color of ones skin, ones financial status, ones beliefs are all set aside once you step foot onto the property, everyone is equal. Now if the world on the outside of the gates could just grasp the #ForestFamVibes the world would be a much better place!

    I grew up in chicago and never had any exposure to a community like forest. When I went my first time in 2014 it changed my life it sent my on a healing path. I learned that if a place has enough love magic will happen. Everyone has their forest magic stories and those stories are what opened my eyes to what society could be like if we all came from a place of love. Thank you forest for showing thing brown kid from the city that I am loved and there are safe spaces that are in other planets that exist!

After my first eforest almost every person I knew said I changed, I was just so happy all the time and still am. It tought me to live free

If you don't believe in magic, you will by Monday after a weekend in the forest. The trading post story at 7:00 is so real. We had so many situations throughout the weekend which were just unexplainable or against all odds type deals. The first provides.

    This will be my 8th Forest, 12th Planet is my favorite DJ and some of my greatest Forest memories are his set, he wrote Forest Temple for Us.
