I've got four years under my belt. Shambhala is one of the best music festival experiences on the planet and it's right on our doorstep. Some call it a life changing experience, I'd say I found a part of myself there that I really like and it went a long ways to restoring my faith in the essential decency of people.
The no booze makes the festival for me, no fights or broken bottles littering the dance floor. It's easy enough to sneak in a little hard liquor and no one is going to look twice if they see you sipping from a flask. You can get away with pretty much anything at Shambhala as long as your not a jackass about it.
My first year was a drug fueled rager, but every year I become less interested in the drugs and just enjoy the atmosphere and music. Many of my best experiences at the festival were stone cold sober (or ripped on molly).
