First to see the light. Gisborne NZ holds the first festival of the new year.
Located Near the international date line, Gisborne is a favorite spot for jet-set festival goers from around the world for its awesome NYE Festival, Rhyth and vines.
Rhythm And Vines
Gisborne is east of everything. It is the origin of the daily ritual of the sun rising to bring warmth and light to the people of the world. This fact was not lost to the 20,000 drunk festival goers from around the world. The kiwis really know they have something here. The first festival to see the light of the new year. Its a party that lasts for 5 days and nights. They have bands from all around the world come to entertain us on a beautiful vineyard tucked into a steep green valley and surrounded by tall pine forests. Every day I got to see big bands and DJs recreating some really fine music. I was able to get into VIP a couple of times, and had my van parked in the employee lot so I could go out to get things whenever I wanted.
I was lucky enough to get a job as a volunteer ushering the crowds. That paid for my ticket as well as giving me opportunity to get some extra tickets. I also got a job selling glow sticks for a vendor. Great for meeting people. I would roam through the crowds and talk to people. It seems the woman I was working for must have made several thousand dollars that week, because people were just spending away. With the connections I made at this festival I was able to make quite a bit of money compared to working on a farm somewhere.

Festival Transportation - Why you need a party bus guy
Coachella, like many festivals is a shit show. Traffic can be really tough to get through when you decide to rent a nice place three miles from the venue. Between grid lock traffice and cops everywhere you look, its enough to take the wind out of your sail. I recomend a party bus. It doesnt have to be expensive. You just need to call around to find a driver who is down to add you to his crew. You give hime $5-10 per person each way. Then you get a rolling lounge with a sound system. For special requests, I call my party bus guy High City Limo. You can arrange transportation weeks in advance. He is in Denver CO, but will drive to most festivals in the West.
