Suwannee Hulaween, which happens every year on the weekend closest to Halloween, is one festival I'd wanted to check out for quite a few years. The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground, located in the Florida Panhandle on the Suwannee River, near the town of Live Oak, hosts a number of festivals every year like Brainquility and Suwannee Roots Revival, and I think Hulaween is the biggest one. For years I'd seen friends' Instagram pictures from not only Hulaween but various other festivals at this venue, and I knew I'd have to go there for one of them.

Middlelands only happened once, on May 5-7, 2017. It was staged by Insomniac, the huge enterprise that also organizes EDC, Beyond Wonderland, Escape Halloween, and so many other huge events that draw enormous crowds every year. It was conceived as a huge EDM fest with a medieval/Renaissance theme, and thus was staged on a Renaissance Faire ground. Middlelands was supposed to be another huge annual festival like those others, but thus far has only been a one-off in 2017.

Way back in the early part of 2012, when I had only lived in San Antonio, Texas for a few months, I often went to shows at Club Rio (now out of business, but just to the left of Bowlero on 281 when it existed) to see DJs like Robbie Rivera and Morgan Page. Whenever I went back out to my car to drive back home, I'd always find flyers in the windshield for upcoming events. Usually it was local shows these flyers were advertising, but some were from big out-of-state festivals like UME in Miami and something called Electric Forest tucked away in Rothbury, Michigan. Great lineup, I thought, but I don't think I could work a trip that far into my budget this year. That was, again, 2012; after six years my situation was a little more flexible.

Austin City Limits, more commonly known as ACL, is an annual music festival that I've got more history with than any other. During the seven years I lived in San Antonio I made it to ACL no less than five times, 2013, '15, '16, '17, and '18, over which I slowly witnessed the festival evolve, watching the grounds expand, and seeing so many artists of different genres and at different stages of their careers.
