9 Things I Wish I'd Known Before Attending My First Music Festival

"Wow, it looks like someone peed on your shoes," my friend said to me at one point on Sunday, after glancing down at my pair of once-white, now-yellow-brown Chucks. It was my own fault for wearing white shoes, and I fully acknowledge my mistake. In an effort to keep you from making a similar mistake, my advice is to 1.) wear shoes in a darker color, or 2.) wear shoes you don't care about staining. They'll inevitably get dirty, no matter how hard you try. Also, if it looks like it's going to rain, just suck it up and wear some rubber boots. Sweaty feet are better than mud-covered ones.
