It’s been a little over a week since I’ve clocked back into the site.

Apologies, I’ve been busy with work and counting the negative six pennies I’ve earned from this not-monetized venture. Oh, and there’s been murmurings of a virus going around.

Being in a people-facing occupation, every second I’m clocked out has been focused on avoiding people—and reposting bullshit on Twitter. But now I’m back with some more photos. This time, I’m featuring some older photos from Electric Daisy Carnival.

For those not familiar: Electric Daisy Carnival, or EDC for short, is an electronic musical festival that takes place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in May. There are smaller iterations of EDC around the world—Mexico, Japan, China and it’s US-counterpart in Orlando—but the Las Vegas edition has been the crown jewel of Insomniac Events for some time. This year is actually the 24th EDC and the 10-year anniversary of the festival in Las Vegas after being booted from Los Angeles.

I began listening to EDM in early 2015 and made it a mission to go to EDC when I felt ready, and now EDC Week is hands-down my favorite time of year. For the past five years, I’ve highlighted/pinned/circled/ starred a week May/June on my calendar.

With the announcement that EDC—as of right now—is planning to go on as scheduled, I thought I would bring back some of my favorite photos from the festival.

It’s a gathering of over 100,000 people from all walks of life, areas of the world. Unless we see significant progress in flattening the curve of Covid-19, I feel like Insomniac Events and Pasquale Rotella will have no choice but to postpone or cancel the Electric Sky.

But now, I’ll hold on to hope and look back at these photos, because each one brings back a unique emotion. EDC is truly a magical place. One that makes an anti-social misanthrope feel things.

And no, it’s not the drugs doing the heavy lifting.
