that 1st festival was amazing, he described to spot on, it was surreal to see this scene come to light, literally, after decades of underground legal and illegal parties in detriot. i was one of those people tearing up for sure. #longlivetheunderground #therefromthestart

I haven't been in years because I moved away from Michigan but those first festivals were a lot of fun and they were free! I hear they're a lot of money now. Which is fine if they have to charge to keep it going, but hopefully they don't price people out. I recall having some really good memories down there.
