00:00L.A.B. was my first festival ever.
00:082016, what a year.
00:10Applaud for the one that you think deserves a do-over.
00:14And bam!
00:16We have a winner right here.
00:18Oh God, do you have that on footage?
00:20Oh God!
00:22That place just seems special.
00:24I feel like whenever I go there, something changes.
00:30I wanted to do these calls because this year all festivals were canceled, obviously.
00:36I just thought, let me see what all these avocado campers have been up to since 2016.
00:44I don't know how much I remember of this.
00:46I'm going to jog your memory.
00:47Oh Jesus.
00:49I was like, wow, this is so spread out.
00:52I was overwhelmed by the land.
00:54I was shocked at how big our campsite was.
00:57There were like 20 of us.
01:00L.A.B. was a fantasy.
01:02I was really trying to escape.
01:03Lightning of Auto was like being around people who symbolize freedom in a way.
01:08You come here and you get to practice being whatever you want to be with whoever you want to be with.
01:13It's also not for everyone because festivals are hard.
01:18I've been to every L.A.B. since, except this year, obviously.
01:212020.
01:23There's been a lot of crying, anger, introspection.
01:26I remember writing in my journal, I just want a hug.
01:28Now that we can't gather, would you go back to a festival ever?
01:32There was a lot of power and so much joy.
01:37But I think that there's also power in being vulnerable with each other.
01:42I didn't party for the sake of partying anymore, but rather for connecting deeper with the people around me.
01:48It's so free and bursting with life and heart.
01:52And I think that enlivens the spirit.
01:54The music, the psychedelics.
01:58There's something magical that happens.
02:02You want to be there with the people you care about.
02:07Lightning of Auto was the facilitator for it, but it could have been any festival.
02:13It was who we were there together.
02:24The thing is, we are actually the ones who caught the lightning of lightning in a bottle.
02:29Wait, put that in the documentary, please.
02:31It's in.
