If anyone went to those in your past - what is it? And how do you feel when your kids are going with...portable showers

Firefly is the name of the scholastic book order form at my son's preschool...but the showers part lead me to believe Loony is not referring to that either.

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

I googled it. Firefly is a music festival featuring a whole lineup of bands. I guess the modern day version of Woodstock.

crap I thought a new firefly movie was coming out Yeah this. Or maybe a convention where Whedon, and the rest of the Buffy/Angel/Firefly Alums would be appearing (we'd get the scoop on alot more than just Whedon's stuff - the writers and actors all went on to do other cool stuff).

There was just a full Firefly cast reunion a few weeks ago at Dallas Comic-Con, I think. Joss wasn't there, though. I can't imagine what he was up to:::cough:::ageofultron:::cough::::

Well, since your daughter is older (19, right?) I guess I'd just have to be ok with it and let her go. I'm a worrier-mom and even as adults I worry way too much about my kids. These all-day music festivals are full of drugs and alcohol. The kids love them. Me, not so much. How far from home is it for her, Tloonya? Is it a one day thing or a weekend?

Well, I took DS2 and one of his friends to OzzFest when they were 15 (in 2006 I believe) and to this day am still surprised we lived to tell the story! I think I was scarred for life. The boys thought it was the greatest thing ever. My game plan when we got there was to find the most normal looking people I could and stay close to them but the mom and daughter in that group were as frightened as I was. It was an all-day thing and I'm glad I took them but I'd never go again!

Ah, the portable shower makes me think this is a weekend or multiple day thing. Guess I should just Google instead of asking so many questions...

Lots of cities have music festivals now so there are a lot to choos from. Lollapalooza, The Governors Ball, Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Summerfest, Burningman. Personally I stick with Bumbershoot since it is a smaller venue. Sasquatch has too much humanity involved, people camping out and staying for the duration. I missed Bumbershoot last year, so hope to make it this year, but not sure due to daughters wedding plans. Also wondering whether I should even try going since this will be first year running it with pot being legal. Might get overrun by visitors. Maybe take YM way and leave town, renting my house for big bucks to all the stoners that will be rolling in

When I was growing up, Texas had a thing each summer called the Texas Jamm in Dallas. We went several times and had a BLAST! Saw some great bands, met up with some great friends, and enjoyed the hell outta it. A couple of years ago I went to CrueFest and while physically it took a bigger toll on me than I expected (yeah, I'm old), I still had a great time. I've let my kiddo go to music festivals and i dont' really see a problem with them. You just have to know what you are getting into so you are prepared.

Nearby basically. However...

Ok, gotcha. FIVE days is a LOT! Yikes. Well, I'm with steff then given your daugther's age: make sure she is fully prepared, protected, and knows what to expect. It can be a lot of fun but there ARE dangers there that you need to be aware of.
Small example: when DS2 and his friend said they wanted to buy t-shirts at Ozzfest I told them 1) keep your wallet in your FRONT pocket (told them that before entering the gates, actually) and 2) don't set your wallet on the counter or take out all of the cash you have on you.
