“Yo, that was crazy because we were at the front. They were pushing crazy at, like, the beginning. Insane as fuck, bro. And then when Xav like dipped because he was, like, cutting the songs like a bit at the beginning, but then he dipped. And then when he came back that shit was just crazy. The energy he ran, that shit was insane, bro.” — Luca, 17

Three shirtless friends, Valen, Max and Tadeo, are huddled by the picnic tables outside the entrance.
