I work at Fast Horse, a creative ad agency in Minneapolis doing influencer and brand partnerships. Last month, our client Heineken had an activation at Coachella and sent me to Weekend 1 of the festival with a group of awesome content creators.

Once a week, my friends and I choose a place to meet and work together remotely. By now, we've visited a good amount of venues, so I thought I'd share my thoughts about which ones I believe are worth leaving the comfort of your own home for. So without further ado, here are six of [...]
