" Bring
phone and wallet (keep them tucked away in a zippered or buttoned pocket). Check to make sure they are on you periodically.
Don't bring
too many items like cameras, excess paraphernalia, non-essential items. In fact, you should expect to lose most items you bring. "
Haha spot on. I like to bring only what I really truly need, and also don't mind losing. A buttoned pocket or something is great for your phone/wallet, plus you can keep checking its there. If you leave it in a normal pocket, most likely it will fall out sometime during the night and you wont check for it.
Do : Glowsticks, Gum, Ciggerettes or Phillies etc, large water bottle. I like to get like the gallon one or half gallon so I can refill and not have to take many trips. You may find that on the way to refill the water for you and your buds, you will get highly distracted and run into a whole new group of friends.
Fly clothes. Gotta dress fly, especially at an event. All the ladies are going to be looking fine as hell, guys gotta do their part too. Looking good = feeling good, and once your rolling, it all adds up to a confident loving euphoria.
Crazy colors, designs, bandanas, etc - make yourself look awesome.
DANCE! You will figure out how to kinda jump around and rock to the bass, electronic music is probably the easiest music to feel the beat and catch the rhythm. Once you start feeling it you will become the Grand Master of Funk and be getting down with all new skills and talents yet unveiled.
FIND LIGHTSHOW/GIRLS: Rolling and finding other rolling people is always awesome and a warm feeling, find some cool people, chill with some rolling girls, get massges, light shows, etc.
Dont : Act like a dumbass once you are faced. You will probably roll BALLS because rolling with thousands of other rolling people with stage music is nuts. Don't tell everyone your rolling or whip out your pills, wallet, etc.
If you somewhat keep to yourself (of course you will have to meet tons of people), other mature people will find you too =).
Lose your keys or phone real early in the night, protect that shit. This can be a bummer if you lose something before the night overwhelms you, its always a nice feeling to be able to feel and check for "the essentials (keys, phone, wallet). Sometimes I may even hide my keys in my gas cap, or under my tire or something so no matter what I won't lose them and be fucked late at night.
