You might want to check out /r/edcny since this subreddit is basically for Vegas.

I went to EDC NY the past two years...at MetLife the first year and then Citi Field last year. MetLife is MUCH better and you're lucky that it's back there this year. While the lineup doesn't have some big names, there are plenty of people to see. Branch out and experience new music! My first year, I didn't know many of the smaller DJs, but I had a blast discovering new music and new names to listen to and now some of those DJs are my favorite. One thing I can't stress enough, go experience Carl Cox & Friends! Cox is amazing and most people don't get many chances to see him.

I usually take a little backpack or fanny pack with a few essentials...and then things like lollipops, gum, vicks, paper diffraction glasses to hand out, and glowsticks. I bring enough of everything, so I can share and hand it out to other people. Like you, I usually just wear a casual/comfy outfit and add a bunch of Kandi singles to trade with people. We all wore neon body paint, but I didn't dress up more than that.

I definitely recommend staying in a hotel. MetLife is in New Jersey, so it's still a little bit of a trek from the city. Even though I lived in Manhattan, I didn't want to deal with public transportation and waiting to go back into the city. The trains were a mess after the festival and it was nice going back to our hotel room to relax and freshen up. I think we stayed at the Extended Stay in the Meadowlands. It was about $140/night and 6 of us managed to fit in the room.

I totally recommend buying a camelbak! They're decently priced on Amazon, I think I bought mine for $50. EDC is amazing with water and had free refill stations, so I only had to fill up the camelbak 3 times a day and my friends and I were able to stay hydrated without a problem. Yes, you can also refill your water bottles, but then you have to keep going back, which can be annoying if you don't want to miss a set. Alcohol was pretty expensive. It was $10 per beer I think.

There's tons of after-parties in the city afterwards, but my group and I were always way too tired to make it back into Manhattan. We actually enjoyed going back to our hotel room to chill, drink/smoke and hangout. There were also a lot of parties happening in the hotel we were staying at. But, there will be plenty of parties in the city if you want that option (you'll have to buy tickets/pay cover).

I've never been to EDC in Vegas, which is on my bucket list...even though EDC NY doesn't compare, it is amazing on its own. I liked it WAY more than Electric Zoo. The second year wasn't as great because Citi Field was cramped, but MetLife is a great location. There's plenty of space between stages and plenty of places to just sit and relax. I also loved the art installations and carnival rides. It added a whole new level to the experience. Most importantly, unlike Electric Zoo, I liked the crowd. They were friendly and most people didn't shove and push to get to the front, so I had space to dance in the back without being bothered. A lot has changed in two years, so it might be different. It's still one of my favorite festivals/events I've been to though.

Have fun with your friends, enjoy the music, and you'll have a great time.

Someone on /r/aves made this guide that you might want to check out, but it appears to be more for camping festivals. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I love your enthusiasm for the super giant fan, but it might not be strong enough structurally to really fan it hard.. but maybe slow and steady fanning is all you need at that size..

Do you happen to remember more about this guy's fan? Was the grip in the center, where the fan fans out from? Was he holding the fan with 2 hands, even though it had a grip? I can only imagine there must have been some kind of mechanism that locked the fan open, and probably kept the fan rigid. This fan won't have that kind of structure.

I have one of these 60-inch bamboo wall fans.. I just pulled it out of the garage. It's pretty floppy.. bamboo bends easily, so the whole fan gives and bends as you try to fan it. I had "no problem" fanning it slowly, but you can't go very fast. Just so much air resistance. It's got to be pushing a LOT of air, though! And by "no problem", I lied... it's kind of unruly and awkward keeping it open and fanning with it, haha. 2 hands required.. And the thin bamboo edge pieces kind of want to twist in on themselves as you hold them. And every movement felt like it was ready to crumble.. I did get it into a groove with this vertical sinusoidal fanning motion that felt pretty easy to work, but no idea what kind of air was getting moved.

I can imagine you using this in open areas without much of a problem, but I can't imagine (but I REALLY want to see it) you pulling this out in the middle of a mass of people and being very successful, unless maybe you're 6 and a half feet tall, and you hold it above your head, fanning forward/down (rather than side to side). IF you pull that shit off, people will worship you, haha. Another concern would be poking someone in the face with it.

The 3 footer might be more manageable, but definitely not as epic. Maybe get both in case the big one fails, or you're in a tight spot. And maybe a 13 inch closed / 25 inch open fan, too, while you're at it.. They are super easy to 1 hand and still work like a champ in a crowd. They move a surprising amount of air.

EDIT: Looking at these fans linked above, the 3 footer says the fan part is made with paper? I'm not sure if I'd trust that to hold up. The 5 footer is made of rayon, so that should be fine. The bamboo will probably break before that does. Mine is definitely some type of fabric, and (maybe foolishly) I trust the fabric over the bamboo part. And there are some cheaper 5 foot ones that are made with paper, so watch out.

Here's the 13 inch closed / 25 inch open fan that I have:

*

original post: The definition is different depending on who you talk to.

Personally I think of a rave as a recontextualized space in a Temporary Autonomous Zone spirit with a sound system playing electronic music

***
Over the years I have grown to appreciate "freedom" as a very important aspect for ravers especially in the underground scene.

Going back out to a macro scale - with electronic dance music culture having grown and spread over the last 30ish years, there now exist differing layers of "rave culture" or as academia likes to call it "EDMC" (electronic dance music culture)

If you take people who have only gone to top 40 night clubs with stringent dress codes/discriminatory entry policies, then you plop them into something like EDC, they might think "wow this is so much freedom, I love raves"

But if you take those people and plop them into a free tekno rave, they might not even know what to do with themselves. "it's just a sound system in the woods, what am I supposed to do?!?" In the perfect case, the answer is: "whatever you want" - but not everyone gets this point of view, or is even interested. People make tradeoffs between music styles, sound system/visual production quality, personal freedom, personal opportunity costs (price of event/time to get there), feelings of safety, level of acceptance, etc. when deciding what to do with their lives.

Everything from the most basic of club nights to the most farout bunker rave, people will call "rave" - I think it's good to ask what people think the term means, but I personally wouldn't get too hung up about anyone's individual definition. It's been re-used for different purposes by people/groups that want to market a specific element of "original rave" (e.g. the sound system/electronic dance music) without including the freedom/friendly anarchy/TAZ aspects. I don't blame people for using the term in various ways, especially people who haven't studied or researched the culture, or haven't been to a free party themselves.

If anyone is interested in reading about EDMC on a global scale and its sociological/cultural impact, I highly recommend checking out Technomad by Graham St John and also the authors who contribute to Dancecult

It's a little pricier(though still a lot cheaper than a camelbak), but I bought a cheap backpack off amazon and put one of these inside last year. The huge perk is that you can use it to spray yourself/others when it gets hot, and also use it to squirt water into other peoples mouths to avoid sharing your mouthpiece! The zip top on the bag is also super useful for quick filling, as you can be in and out super quick(and cleaning is super easy!)



This hydro bladder has lasted me a while, and it is small enough to fit in basically any backpack(I got this one off amazon for last year, which ended up being pretty comfortable, no snagging points to get caught on other people, and the perfect size to stash whatever things in). I would spend the good money on a decent hydration bladder for sure to prevent leaks and last you for a while!

I bought a few cheap misting fans last year:
https://www.amazon.com/O2COOL-Carabiner-Misting-Fan-Teal/dp/B00TQPO3DU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1494942595&sr=8-6&keywords=mist+fan

I'm pretty sure they were O2 cool. They lasted throughout the weekend, they didn't move that much air but you could definitely feel it and didn't have to exert extra energy to create the movement of air.

More importantly, imo, the misting feature was SO refreshing in that heat. Spraying it on your forehead, chest, and especially back of the neck felt like an instant body temp cool-down of a couple degree. I highly recommend a mister over an old school hand fan

I use Downbeats, I've had them for a little over 6 months now and they have been working great at a price standpoint. The earplugs are fairly small, so if you like discretion I'd recommend these. As far as clarity I'd rate it at an 8/10, so not much issue with sound quality, although at times I've had a tiny bit of trouble hearing people(only when super close to the speakers). It's so gratifying knowing I can go to these events and come back without any hearing loss lmfao.

Edit: I'd also like to point out that earplugs are amazing in camping environments when you're trying to sleep... These were a lifesaver at Beyond 2 weeks ago.

I use earasers. They fit like customs, but only cost $40. I've used etymotic technology and others in the past, and I think these have the most clarity. I've used them at concerts and in performance settings (professional musician ~15 years). Also, I feel like these are the least noticeable in your ears. Mine came with a metal case.

EDIT: No matter which you decide on, WEAR EAR PLUGS. Save your ability to enjoy the music you love for the rest of your life.

Camelbak brand is the best but if you want to save your money and still have great quality .... here you go fam TETON Sports Trailrunner 2 Liter Hydration Backpack Perfect for Biking, Running, Hiking, Climbing, and Hunting; Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JYHFJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_S8XdzbBRXJPVC

I bought [these] (http://smile.amazon.com/Lite-Up-Diffraction-Multi-Pack-Transparent/dp/B01D3T065I/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8) ones. And the heart ones were AMAZING!! The spirals were okay.

I also bought [these] (http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B005JT5P7A) ones (mostly because they were cheap) & they look pretty cool in my kitchen...just waiting to bust them out & share them during EDC!

The ear plugs I have are the Etymotic Ear Plugs. They come with their special carrying case and attachment string so you don't lose them.

As far as croakies go, you can grab them almost anywhere from Wal-Mart, Target, Dollar Store, Greek stores, etc. They come in many styles whether thick and flat with words/designs or more round and like a string. I'd take a look at the croakies on amazon to see what kind of style you like and would fit your glasses. If you want to go all out, check out croakies on Greek Stores or places like Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, Brooks Brothers, for some classy designed ones.

I'm bringing these this time around they're by etymotic but a little more(+ $8) and they're supposed to be a little better and more discrete.
Also if comfort is more important to you than sound attenuation then the Earasers are pretty good from what I understand and after a while don't feel like anythings there

That may have been me or the almost any other gay man that has been to their fair share of circuit parties. However, I did get a few of my straight buddies onto them and it's such a great sight to watch. They bring it now to shows.

Here's the one a lot of people buy for these events or circuit parties:

Black Performance Folding Fan #359 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AMPHC4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_eJohzb1S8S5F2

I bought the Etymotic Research ear plugs and love them.

I wear them to festivals as well as going out to the clubs. You really should protect your ears!

OP, if you went to a festival at NOS Event Center, the outside sound is abysmal there.

it looks awesome and i love your colours that you used. I wanna do like an opaque coloured one next. I hope my string holds out ive been using this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07D4J1MQ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The top one worked wonders at edc last year... the bottom I’ve used on different heat related excursions where its ability to hold more water offset its slightly bulkier size (camping/hiking).

Edit: I can only vouch for these that have the ability to mist water as your body removes heat best by evaporation. Those that can not mist seem like they wouldn't be of too much help, unless you're sweating profusely (which is certainly plausible), since they would just be blowing the same 90 degree heat around.

I've used Etymonic Research and Westone earplugs. They are both comfortable to wear all night and don't distort the sound quality. The Westones are my favorite and are really discrete. They are $13-$20 depending on where you get them but can easily last you years if you don't loose them.

I got an Osprey pack and put a Geigerrig water pouch. Awesome combination! Plus the Geigerrig lets you get water without sucking on the hose. Makes it easy to share =)

The way these earplugs are made it just turns down the volume to a bearable level. Downbeats, earpeace, etymotic and dubs are all made for listening to music and created by sound engineers. You really can't say they block out too much sound without having tried them. Those are all around $12-20 bucks. That's the best you can get and honestly better in case you lose one you aren't out $100 dollars.

I personally have these , slightly upgraded version of standard etys and I love them. When the music is painfully loud, these make the volume just right. You won't even realize you have them in after a while.

This is the one im using, pretty good quality and not to big can fit in your luggage bag if youre flying. Having it able to fit it in my luggage and a compact size is what i was mainly looking for

i get tinnitus easily, bought these for $28 and havent had since! if you go to shows often, listen to music in headphones all day, play music, good earplugs are absolutely worth it.

I've tried multiple earplugs and nothing work as well as Earasers in that price range. Still relatively inexpensive, you can have conversations when you're in the crowd wearing these, and they only get rid of the harmful high frequencies.

https://www.amazon.com/Earasers-HEM001-Musicians-Plugs-Medium/dp/B00E2D9HAA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1496598464&sr=8-1&keywords=earasers+musicians+plugs

The next step up from these is getting custom-fitted musician's earplugs that DJs use. At $200 a pair, they're quite the price but they'll save your ears in the long run.

I also highly recommend you read this article if you're looking into purchasing earplugs: https://edmidentity.com/2016/04/07/dont-forget-earplugs/

I got these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM6Q9XW they're pretty awesome. Cut down on the "harshness" that hurts my ears but lets me hear everything clearly. I can easily have a convo w/ them on.

This one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OWM2BY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wasn't too tall so it didn't hit any of the decorations that are above (e.g. while walking on/off Rainbow Road there are lights that could easily get tangled up). If you hold it up high, you'll be able to see it in the live streams. But it's not so high that you're getting in the way of others when you set it down since it's as tall as you are basically.

When we walked in, I had the telescoping part all the way down and the flag folded up so it could simply be patted by security. Much easier than having it in full-mast and them question anything.

Haha you would think right! I had only 2 fans last year. It was June and it was hot as balls... for everyone else! I was a solid 30 degrees cooler in my own hoodie than anyone else around me. I kept them on at full blast at 1300 rpms(both fans were daisy chained) powered of a 2200 mAh battery pack also I had a small water reservoir in my camelbak that i can pump from my pocket to mist my back.

I had to leave the battery charging till the last minute though to make sure i had enough charge to last from dusk to dawn. This year I'm bringing two and rotating them out every other day.

Sorry, I should have specified hand fan. This is the fan I brought this year.

I'm wondering if I need to wrap it in like a foam noodle or something. It's pretty solid and this is my first EDC so not sure if they will allow it.

you'll wanna put in earplugs way before your ears start ringing, cause at that point, the damage is already done. I recommend these. They're easy to take in and out and preserve the quality of the sound pretty well.

side note: You could use your pi to run some LEDs on your clothes or a bag. I'm using an arduino to power a sound reactive belt and suspenders.

Etymotic Research ER20 ETY-Plugs

these ones

Pretty good quality and if you have a prime you can get them before edc!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006JYHFJA/

$24 and you can use it anywhere for any purpose. Hiking, out for a run, walking around a city. But it's a godsend for festivals and I can't imagine going to one without it.

I'm gonna buy one of these: Running Belt USA Patented – iPhone X 6 7 8 Plus Pouch for Runners . Best Fitness Gear for Hands-Free Workout . Freerunning Reflective Waist Pack Phone Holder . Men, Women, Kids Running Accessories https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019BQNTL0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_mn8OCbQT31MRV

That's the one, :) After it's all together, its 'only' about 5 lbs. That's 3 pieces of plexiglas, hardware, 2 batteries, and a large perler. :)
Its "all in one" so if I wanted too, I could put some rope around it and hang it around my neck instead of using a stick!

I was torn between the downbeats and the etymotic but decided on the earpeace after watching some video reviews. Hopefully theyre worth it!

Drawstring or camelback with 2 small packets and a large pocket. Don't bring a school backpack and you should be fine. Sealed gum and sealed Chapstick are good ideas, as is a bandana for dust. Diffraction glasses are cool too, regardless of drug use.

Earplugs. I bought a pair of DownBeats and they sounded great. They are a must if you want to get up close and personal with the Basscon stage.

I used these Etymotic earplugs this last edc and they worked great!

I use these . Love them.

Loud. Wear ear plugs if you value your hearing. I always recommend these Plugs by Etymotic

Selfe-stick! hahaha

But for real,

/u/rayhoop has it:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OWM2BY/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

I have always used these, bought multiple pairs (because I lose them easily lol) and they are amazing.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM6Q9XW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I went with these this year, never tried them before but the reviews are good.

https://www.amazon.com/ETY-Plugs-Fidelity-Earplugs-Standard-Frost/dp/B0015WJQ7A?th=1

Use a running belt like this one and never have to worry about phone theft again. Plus you can keep your wallet there too. I use mine every day now, no more stuff in my pockets at parties!

These are the ones I used at EDC this year. They were fantastic.

Invest in nice earplugs. For $14, you can save your hearing and still hear the music perfectly (even better when there's distortion).

Some of the stages were preposterously loud this year (especially cosmicMEADOW). I can't imagine what it was like for people without earplugs. Don't fuck around with this stuff. Tinnitus and hearing loss are a bitch.

I use etymotics. They have worked very well! $12.99 on amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-ETY-Plugs-Protection-Earplugs/dp/B0044DEESS?ie=UTF8&keywords=etimotics&qid=1464681680&ref_=sr_1_sc_3_a_it&sr=8-3-spell

I use this one https://www.amazon.com/Sports-Trailrunner-Hydration-Backpack-Climbing/dp/B006JYHFJA/

Everyone just has to remember that this isn't a TSA-type search, they arent going to be out there measuring bags. As long as it doesn't appear to be over their requirements, it should be fine. That said, just remember EDC hasn't published a change in their security requirements yet, so take everything going around with a grain of salt for now.

It doesn't have to be the touristy type of fanny pack - I got this running belt and this "wallet". Running belt held my phone, wallet, and one of my medical devices with room to spare and fit under my shirt without any lumps or weird shapes. Stayed secure all three nights.

I'm gonna repeat what /u/Diagonalizer said below and recommend you buy this pair by the same company: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/
They're a bit better sound reduction and actually fit flush with your ears. Those stubs sticking out of the blue ones hurt if I wore a mask/hugged someone too hard. :D

Etymotic ER20xs are the new plugs they just came out with. I lost my ETY's and now use these. They are truly amazing and even more low profile. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RM6Q5HM?pc_redir=T1

Good earplugs. recommended from many threads here and /r/aves

these are good too -- the shorter stubs are less likely to get pushed into your ear when hugging/bumping into some one

What in the fuck is a reccommdatoon

Also I use this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000AMPHC4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jUr2AbB3A566K, it's fucking giant and good build quality and makes a satisfying THWWWAP sound when you open it

These are the kind I use. I bought them before edclv 2016 and have used them several times. I also like the metal container they come in. I can hook it to my belt loop or my hydration pack.

The black portion with the heat tubing is the remote portion if it has one, get a portable power pack maybe one like this or a higher capacity one to plug into the usb...and you should be g2g Portable Chargers RAVPower 22000mAh Portable Phone Charger 22000 Power Banks 5.8A Output 3-Port (2.4A Input, iSmart 2.0 USB Ports, Li-polymer Battery Banks) For Smartphone Tablet – Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1XH46M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aSp8AbK6F1FVX

LiveMus!c HearSafe Ear Plugs with Silicone Triple Flange and Noise-Cancelling - Standard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_2Rhnzb5470AT2

Etymotic earplugs Have always worked for me. They are less than 20 dollars, and have lasted me since 2012 with no issue at all. They are very comfortable to wear, and can still hear easily. You will learn that they crank up the music as the night progresses, and is damn near deafening at peak time.

Last year they sold them in the vendor area, but go ahead and order some now.

I highly recommend you get these earplugs. These music earplugs lower the sound so it's not muffled like regular earplugs. Although they do make the music sound a little different.

http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Protection-Earplugs-Standard/dp/B0044DEESS

It comes with a key chain pouch so you will never forget to bring it. Better start protecting your ears before it's too late.

When I go to the clubs with other people, they never say the music is loud but when I take out the earplugs, the music hurts my ears. The reason it doesn't hurt other peoples ears is because theirs are damaged where they aren't that sensitive anymore. They are really going to pay for it when they get older.

The movie "It's gone all Pete Tong" is about a dj who loses his hearing. pretty interesting.

I have these ones one of the biggest things i need with my earplugs is the string i got other ones that don't have the string and I lose them WAY to fast.
