I’ve been to hundreds of concerts in my lifetime, and I’m always open to new music. What made you want to go to Electric Forest? I’ve been to others similar to that, but nothing quite like Electric Forest.

While I’ve previously attended Electric Forest with colleagues and friends who felt like family, this year I brought my actual family: my mom, Sara Willems.
