I heard many returners talk about how much hotter it was the prior year. It was about 68 degrees the whole day perfect for an outdoor shoulder-to-shoulder event with thousands of attendees. Fortunately, cooler temperatures enhanced the music festival experience. I was in Las Vegas the weekend prior to Lovers & Friends – it was nearly 90 degrees. Hence, there were several alcoholic drink alternatives to Liquid Death and filtered water. Surely, festival goers like me who are committed to sustainability appreciated these details.Ĭrown Royal, D’ussé, Titos, and Beatbox Beverages were among the corporate sponsors.
While the festival wasn’t entirely zero waste, just about all the food and beverage materials were recyclable, plus there were bins throughout the grounds for recyclables, composting, and other waste. Attendees were also encouraged to bring water bottles and refillable hydration packs there were water stations throughout the venue. As the company's website indicates, Liquid Death prides itself on using recyclable aluminum cans as an alternative to single-use plastic bottles. I later discovered they were cans of water. Upon arrival, I noticed lots of people were drinking tall cans of Liquid Death, which I presumed was some sort of lethal-ish beer that would surely be too potent to consume all day. The actual bathrooms were also quite clean.
Staff were stationed near porta potties with cleaning supplies they used to keep them tidy all day. Honestly, I’ve never used a cleaner portable toilet.

From Leonardo da Vinci's to-do list to Charles Darwin on the pros and cons of marriage or Julia Child's list of possible titles for what would later become an American cooking bible, Lists of Note is a constantly surprising A-Z of what makes us human.
Just as he did with Letters of Note, Shaun Usher has trawled the world's archives to produce a rich visual anthology that stretches from ancient times to present day. They are the shorthand for what really matters to us: our hopes and aspirations likes and dislikes rules for living and loving records of our memories and reminders of the things we want to do before we die. Humans have been making lists for even longer than they've been writing letters.
