Do NOT wear this to Beyond Wonderland

Insomniac's third annual electronic music festival Beyond Wonderland takes over San Bernardino this weekend. The event's website says it's sold out and will happen "rain or shine."

What about snow?

Because according to the National Weather Service, Beyond Wonderland, set to host nearly 50 acts and around 45,000 fans still stumbling around not sober after HARD L.A., may be transformed into a winter wonderland. Remember, we're totally amazing at scientific predictions. So we crunched a few numbers and guess what? Those ridiculous furry boots girls wear to raves and shit may actually serve some sort of purpose this weekend.

Rain is expected this weekend in San Bernardino, which sits at about 1,125 feet elevation. And snow level is said to dip to 2,000 feet elevation Saturday night. We know it's a slim chance, but we like to entertain doomsday prophecies.

How would snow impact the fest? First of all, does anybody trust giddy 18-year-old girls driving in even the best of conditions? What if the snow melts and gets into the wiring and shocks headliner Armin van Buuren? He's used to places like Ibiza and shit.

Temps are said to drop into the low 40s, and this could pose other problems. The fest apparently allows no re-entry without buying a new ticket. So forget about running back to your car to warm up. Are there going to be heaters? Or will attendees just throw a bunch of glowsticks into a trashcan in hope they function as like, a bonfire?

The event website offers a warning for anyone who carries illegal drugs, threatening that those who do will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law -- not surprising considering what happened last year. The site also advises staying hydrated. Cool. Everybody will just be drinking whiskey. Legal, and as a bonus, warming! Maybe some stray hippies will slip in and purify all the snow into drinking water.

Elanno pizzacaro you obviously don't appreciate music like some people. You must be some uptight woman who has never experienced life before.. So you hate on everyone who knows how to have a good time.. The funny thing is your probably thinking I'm someone who is another kid posting a comment..I'm a 25 business woman and i make way more money then you..for you to put down this event and making fun or girls wear ridculous fluffies.. When it's part of thr festivities.. Just like Halloween.. So tell me.. Do u know dress up for Halloween?

Huh...I don't know what everybody is worrying about, it totally rained last year inside the headliner mega tent.When I say 'rained',the humidity within the tent reached the pointwhere perspiration turns intoprecipitation.

Its called "Raver Rain"

I went to this 2 years ago and it was f***ing horrible. Not worth what we paid AT ALL, the conditions sucked, and my favorite thing was the merch Insominac was selling was all old shirts from past 3 year events, it was laughable at best. All those half-naked tweenie's laying on the floor like dead fish baked outta their heads, not even dancing! It was NOTHING like the heyday back in late 90's. SO, can you post the link where they are taking Vegas odds on this this weekend turning into a cacophony of chaos?
