Wh@ 2 do w/ yr phone @ a music festival

In this age of mobile-everything, we’re continually reminded of how mobile phones have made our lives easier and more fun. There are a number of situations where we’re forced to question ‘how did we used to do this without mobiles?’ Like when you lose your friends at a festival…

To commemorate our sponsorship of Kiss My Grass 2010, we’ve compiled a list of neat ways you can use your phone at a music festival, for those who still have the cognitive capacity to operate a piece of electronics after two hours of drinking Breezers in the sun:

Set reminders 4 the DJs u wanna C

Before the festival, get a hold of the set list from the festival’s website and set reminders so you don’t miss your fave acts. Nothing worse than realising that you’ve missed a sick DJ coz you’ve been waiting in line for the toilets for half an hour.

Cre8 a festival contact group

Create a Group in your phone’s contact list with everyone who’s coming with you. That way if you need to contact everyone (ie “Where r u all???”) you can just send one Group txt.

MMS yr mates 2 explain where U R

If you get a “Where r u??” txt, take a shot of a landmark near you and MMS it back as a visual reference: “I’m @ that big ferris wheel thingie!”

Take a video of yr fave DJ

Grab some footage of your fave DJs to show your friends who couldn’t make it. Take note though, some artists will ask not to be filmed. Be cool and respect their request.

Use yr notes to write down nu DJs that u discover

If you find some sweet beat mixers, use your mobile phone’s Notes to write down their names, coz you probably won’t be able remember them the next day.

Bluetooth gr8 photos 2 yr BFF

No doubt you’ll be snapping pix all day. Exchange the best ones by Bluetooth.

Get online & tweet about it

You’ll have some of the funniest experiences of your life at a festival. A day’s craziness in tweet form makes for great reading for your followers.

Hold it up like a lighter @ night 4 the songs th@ rock

If a DJ is just rocking out (and it’s dark enough), show your appreciation by holding your phone up like a lighter, just like they used to do at rock concerts. From the DJ’s perspective, it looks awesome to see a sea of lights in front of them.

Use a photo from the day 4 yr wallpaper

Choose your fave image from the day and use it as your phone’s wallpaper, so you can keep the dream alive for a little bit longer.
