Ok so backstory: She was asking me what I wanted for my birthday (March) and I mentioned it would be cool to go to a Riopy concert.

Riopy is a pianist (think Mozart or Beethoven). I figured this was something we could both enjoy and a chance to take a fun trip somewhere.

Unfortunately, Riopy doesn't have any concerts scheduled. So, sneakily, she started looking at Miss Monique concerts.

A few days later she says "I got us tickets to Ultrafest"

This is absolutely wild! This woman doesn't listen to EDM, her preferences lay somewhere between NPR, Lady Gaga, and late 90s country music 🤣

At first I was worried that we would be the Steve Buscemi meme "hello fellow kids" but I guess we won't be too out of place.

Someone else told us there is a "quiet tent" where she can go if she's overwhelmed, which she is very excited about apparently 😄

I think it's one of those things where she wants the "full experience". Illicit substances have arisen in the conversation, of which I have already experienced most of them, but is that a thing we could find, if she was inclined?

What are some things we should know? Any lingo or slang? She would probably think I was pretty "cool" if I knew the local traditions or customs.

I hope we can bring back some cool stories to tell our boring friends!
