Somehow, I missed that info, also the memo to NOT wear sandals, open toe shoes or anything with heels – I did all three, and yet I made it safely through the afternoon and early evening. When we arrived around 2 PM at the GBX Gowanus Bay Terminal, only a few hundred people were strolling around the five stages, nursing a beer or moving their hips and hula hoops. Different story 6 hours later, when the sun began to set, bathing everything and everyone in a beautiful golden light, and more and more young people kept occupying the 5 dance floors. The event organizers anticipated and audience between 6K and 10K and I would believe either number. We checked out every area, there was so much to see, the setting so surreal and industrial. At times, I thought myself on a movie set… I was pretty drawn to the fearless BMX riders near the “fire stage” relentlessly riding the make-shift slope. The most time I’ve probably spent near the water and the aptly named “water stage” with DJs [Lauren Ritter](https://www.facebook.com/LaurenRitterNY?fref=ts) and after her [John Dill](https://www.facebook.com/dillio?fref=ts). Earlier that day, we also listened in to [Alex English](https://www.facebook.com/alexenglishhh?fref=ts) at the “fire stage” and [Herobust](https://www.facebook.com/heRobust) at the “earth stage”. The weather being picture perfect, with\`so much to see and listen to. People were incredibly mellow and friendly and we had an all-around fantastic day! I think, I’d like to be part of it again next year, and with proper boots, some glitter in my face and some feathers in my wardrobe, I might even starting dancing and having an even better time… For many, many more photos of festival goers, visit the [festival’s facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/events/479721558862377/) where photographers post their photos. Oliver and I only had our iPhones with us that day (we at least got THAT memo, to leave pro-gear at home) and these are our shots (minus the event poster, *duh*):
