The Sherp dug up some pretty scandalous festival-hookup stories that involve a multitude of drugs, recklessness and bad decisions. But hey, who are we to judge?
Read the following tales at your own peril –
1. When you make use of all the space at your disposal.
“Showers would be impossible as they are male and female only. We used to hook up other people’s cars, tents, out in the open (See: the Sahara after dark) and anywhere else. There are a lot of dark corners you could hook up for a quickie just about anywhere if your inventive enough. Just pretend your 16 again.” Β

2. When Festival Girl breaks your fragile heart.
I met this awesome chick at a festival last week where everything just seemed to come crashing down. Let’s call her ‘festival girl’.
This is how it basically went down:
Day 2: Met my friends little sister, we really hit it off but nothing happened.
Day 3: Kiss a few times, she goes off and a few hours later comes back to the camp. We end up going to my tent. Nice little morning make out session when we wake up and she goes back to her camp.
Day 4: She meets up with my camp to go see a concert. We ditch everyone and have probably the most amazing grinding/making out session (this is probably the memory that made me “fall” for her). She goes to work as a festival volunteer but comes to my camp at 3am just to “share” my tent.
Day 5: Nice little make out session again before she has to go to work. I’m working from 21-05 at a festival bar and text her saying we should meet up after her shift but before mine. No reply. Text her later saying that she should come by the bar and Ill hook her up with a drink. She comes just as we’re closing, doenst want a drink but introduces me to a friend and then gives me a big kiss. Im supposed to call when I get off 15 min later but she doesnt pick up. By now its 5.30 so I just crash in my tent.
Day 6: Last day of the festival. I want to meet up with her and joke around how she’s bad at texting. She writes back “i promise to to get better at replying π Who are you going to see today?” and we write back a few times back and forth. It gets busy but I write her 30 min before closing asking where she’s at but get no reply. Write her a few hours later, joking about how she’s bad at replying to texts and no reply (this is where I feel like I fucked up and probably came across as needy. Shit it was the very last night of the festival and I wanted to see her so I bitched out. Can’t deny that). She comes back to the camp with her sister (my friend) and starts acting offish. I laugh “You promised to get better at replying to my texts” and she goes “I dont check my phone all the time..” We barely talk but I manage to get her to the side to watch some fireworks, get a hug but no kiss before my friend says she needs to talk to her. That’s the last I’ve seen or communicated with her. The two of them “go to the bathroom” and then never come back. I didnt want to come across as needy so I didnt call or text. My friend brought a hook up back at 5.30 but festival girl is no where to be seen.

3. Β When people take pictures, but it doesn’t matter. Why? You had sex.
“My friends and I went to Coachella as a group a few years ago. I had a girlfriend at the time, but I found out that I actually really liked this other girl in my group. We had never really hung out before. We ended up having sex outside of the Sahara tent in front of a bunch of people β we were on acid. There were people taking pictures. We came back to our tent and she crashed in the car with me for the whole rest of the week. Then eventually we started dating. We were together for, like, three years.”

4. When your boyfriend loves to play ‘fastest fingers first’.
“My boyfriend and I were partying on molly when we met up with friends to watch Kanye West. My friends were really excited about him, but my boyfriend and I weren’t as much. We were rolling and bored and feeling frisky, so we started grinding on each other during the set. We moved to the back of our group, and I wrapped my scarf around myself. My boyfriend started to finger me during the concert right behind my friends. After I orgasmed a couple times, we went back to normal dancing and nobody seemed to notice. It made listening to Kanye a hell of a lot more exciting!”

5. When beingΒ part of aΒ rapper’s entourage helps you score.
I was rolling a bit at the ASAP Rocky at Coachella last year. Made eye contact with a girl. Asked if she wanted to dance. Long story short, I love nipple rings.

6. When festival hook-ups turn into full fledged relationships.
We’ve been together for four years, which sounds pretty crazy when you tell your family, ‘I met this guy at Coachella and now I want to be in a long-distance relationship.’ They’re like, ‘Were you on too many drugs? What were you thinking? Are you sane, daughter?’ But four years later β that’s pretty crazy. We have a connection. I remember thinking when we first met, ‘I’m never going to see this man again. He’s the love of my life. What am I gonna do?’ It was instant. It’s weird. There are some people who you just get. It’s obviously been hard to take that amazing experience and translate it to our regular life. Coachella is a happy place. How do you work that into a day-to-day basis? But we did long-distance for two years and then we moved in together.”

7. ??????????????
Would you be interested in knowing that I got a couple back together after the guy saw me making out with the girl?
It helped that he was drunk too. The three of us, after the initial shock, sat down and watched the last act of the weekend play. Good bonding, that.
8. When old people have orgies at festivals.
The people camping next to us were all middle to older aged men who all had wives. Bonnaroo had been their special weekend to escape reality for years. They would all have sex with each other every night. They had a shower tent, where they all took showers together.

9. When Jack White’s voice helps you pick up the pace.
This year I went VIP. Im 18 and hooked up with a 26 year old after Lionel Richie. The girl was from general admission, but once the volunteers figured out why i wanted her at my campsite they let her in. Needless to say when Jack White started playing Love Interuption my tent got very banged up
