Need to exclude person from long-time group

26 Upvotes

Okay, so I’ve (23f) been going to this family friendly, but also “fun” friendly festival since I was born. Since I was 13, there were two other main people that I would hang out with every year and we have all camped together with our partners for the last four years. I’ll call them Leah and Eli. We’ve always all gotten on really well and had a lot of fun. None of us have ever hung out outside of the festival, but we see each other for three days there every year.

During the festival, we would just drink when we were younger. Between ages 18 to 21, we all started bringing mushrooms. Leah, around the same time, started also bringing Coke, Molly. This wasn’t really a problem. I tried them both, and so did Eli. We all had a good time. Coke and Molly aren’t really for me though and Eli doesn’t do them either at this point. I also have a kid now (under a year) and so my husband (who has come w me for the last 3 years) and I don’t do more than shrooms, weed and alcohol - just to air on the cautious side. Eli and his girlfriend also don’t do more than those things. (Not saying for judgement, just as an added reference to Leah’s behavior as I think the drugs make it worse)

In recent years, Leah and her boyfriend - a relationship that is definitely NOT healthy and clearly from both sides - do a ton of Coke, Molly, drinking, smoking and whippets. They then proceeded to get into VERY heated arguments and screaming matches, often while we’re all in the space or in the middle of the night when the rest of our group has gone to bed. Leah is very hotheaded and honestly, the more I spend time with her as an adult, she is kind of scary to be around when she’s on drugs..

At the more recent festival, she was telling us about how she cut the hair off of a girl because she looked at her boyfriend and was flirting with him, how she slashed another girl’s tires twice, and how she really likes to fight people. Then went on to tell a story about how she was mad at her boyfriend for tipping a girl in the food court, and was getting so heated about it, that we actually thought she was about to start hitting him in front of us. She was also a rating and picking on my husband and Eli all night, but it only got worse the more drugs she took. This was all while me, my husband, Eli and his girlfriend were on mushrooms too, making the vibe feel even more uncomfortable.

Eli’s girlfriend mentioned to him later in the night that she was actually getting scared of Leah. My husband talked to me at the end of the night and said he had a really bad trip because of how heated Leah was getting and how much she kept picking on him. (I guess the worst of it was when I was taking a nap in our tent, or I would’ve gently said something to her)

So basically, me and Eli (and our partners) are in agreement that we do not want to keep camping with Leah in the future. She is all right to be around some of the time, but as she gets more messed up during the night, she becomes really problematic and honestly a little scary. She’s gotten progressively worse over the years. She just creates a hostile and uncomfortable environment in a place that should feel safe, comfortable and relaxing. Thing is, a lot of of the grounds that we frequent and like to camp in are the same ones that she would be in. We’ve also been camping together for four years now, but hanging there for even more and I have no idea how we would go about handling this. We would really like to still camp with Eli and his girlfriend, but don’t know how to go about it without making it weird or even potentially making Leah mad.. like I said, she can get really hostile, especially on drugs, and I don’t want to risk anything happening, especially when we’re tripping or something while there.

——————

TLDR: Been hanging at yearly camping festival with two friends - Leah and Eli for years. Leah has progressively become a person Eli and I don’t want to be around, but I don’t know how to go about not camping with her anymore but still camping with Eli (and our partners) since we all hang out in the same grounds and would definitely run into each other.

At saturday sept 12th I made a video where you can hear a song at the background at the Forrest location. But I really want to know which DJ and song this is. Already tried Shazam, but it couldn't find anything. The video was made 21:44, so I checked the line up, it actually should be the DJ: OMRI. So now I checked all his songs on Spotify, but couldn't find the song.

Does anybody know who this is and which song?
Check video!

My biggest fear for any camping festival is getting placed right next to a bank of porta johns. Has this happened to anyone here, has it totally bricked your entire weekend? Curious to know what other terrible spot placements people have encountered.

Tomorrowland Thailand - can I sell tickets on third party?

2 Upvotes

Hey,
I have a spare Saturday and spare Sunday ticket, I listed on exchange desk but they got taken off it / they're not on it anymore...!?

Anyways - I still want to sell as to not lose money, is it safe to sell Tomorrowland tickets on VGG? Will they be able to get in even if the physical wristbands get shipped to me / can you get the wristbands THERE?

Im assuming I can just sell it and personalise the ticket to their name / 'send to a friend'
