Rolling at an Outdoor Festival

[Eleventytil]

Hello Bluelight, I just signed up. Many google searches have brought me to this forum back when I first started doing x. Anyways, the event is in a week and I want to roll there.

My main concern is: How is rolling at an outdoor event?
How dangerous is this in 90+ weather?

The event lasts from morning until night, so it'll be an all-day affair.
I will have water with me, and I'll try and force myself to eat during the day.
What would be good food to eat before my initial dose?

(Sorry, we don't allow discussion of specific events on ED; I've edited your post to reflect that. -- RGB)

Rolling at outdoor events is usually pretty cool. I've only been to Electronic Dance Music events rolling. Except for this one time when my friend had an extra ticket to a Korn concert. I was like, what the fuck, it's a free ticket....should be fun. I dropped real good E and didn't have the greatest time. The music was just a little to dark for me. I was in love with the world but ended up getting pushed into a mash pit with a bald headed lesbian pushing me around.

It was not a good night.

You seem to like that sort of music so your results may vary. Just skip the beer and drink water slowly throughout the event. Maybe get a gatorade into the mix. Don't overdo it. Over-hydration is just as deadly as dehydration.

I say eat a couple of smaller meals on that day. Some fruits, vegetables, yogurt and pasta. You don't really want a belly full of food when you roll.

The biggest concerns you should have are the following:

• Dehydration.
• The potential of suffering a heat stroke.

Now, I know these concerns are also applicable in any type of event. But with this event, I think they could be more likely to happen. Mainly because it's going to be hot as hell outside. And your body temperature is going to raise, because of the MDMA, but the temps outside, could make it rise even more. And the dehydration one is pretty obvious. Cause I mean, even without being under the influence, you sweat your dick off at any outdoors event like Warped Tour. But while being under the influence of MDMA while the temperatures are soaring, and you're already sweating a lot. Dehydration could creep up on you.

Sorry to write so much, man. Just be careful. Drink plenty of fluids, preferably something that replaces those valuable electrolytes, and try to find some shade to chill in pretty frequently...

Edit: Don't forget the sun screen either man. SPF 100 up in this bitch!

My advise is to eat a good, hearty breakfast that you know won't upset your stomach later. Pancakes are a good, so are other bread and potato products. Then head to the event, but hold off on dropping for a few hours. Try and time your peak for when your favorite artist comes on. Doing this is good for several reasons:

A) Give your stomach time to digest your breakfast. Dropping on a full stomach diminishes your roll anyway.
B) If you wait till it starts to cool off to drop you'll have a better time beating the heat.
C) Most the good artists come on later.
D) You'll save on pills and won't be on your 4th or 5th redose by nightfall which could make you all cracked out and no longer feeling the high and stuff... Last thing you want is to be all tired and down when your favorite artist gets on stage.

As for foods while you're there. Eat when you feel hungry but leave it to small snacks. While your rolling, get some juicy fruits like oranges and watermelons. They'll add to the re-hydration, while fulfilling your need to eat AND taste amazing. Plus, I don't care what anyone says about Vit C doing nothing while your rolling. The taste of citrus ALWAYS blows me up. So amazing!

i like to take the roll in the evening when the weather cools off a bit.

Rolling in the middle of the day at a festival is amazing. I usually hydrate well prior, so that way if I drink less during the show I'll fine (more time to dance lol).

I like to get in, get settled (maybe have a drink or two and a small meal), then an hour or two before sunset, the rolling begins. This way, your rolling til the end of the event.

Thanks for all the tips guys. I'll certainly pack an orange in my backpack. I'm hoping the bands I want to see play later on in the day. Sadly, the times the bands play change with every tour date, so I can't plan before the day of the event. I certainly don't want to have to redose 5 times haha, that sounds horrible. I've never done more than 5 tabs in one roll, so I'm hoping to only drop 3 and then another 1.5. Then another 1.5 after that. Redosing after two hours.
