I know Seth n the Martinez Bros did a Tuskgee Record label party on Govenors Island in NY on Sunday so he most likely got to retarded to come to Toronto...
So they announced it last second? Was that the first time they announced it or did they also announce it earlier on as well?
I thought the Olivia Chow thing was funny but her speech was bad at points. It felt like an old person trying to get down with the kids LOL.
Definitely not attending the next EI. Not only is the lineup uninteresting, the main headliner doesn't even show up for this jam. We should at least get a sorry or something. All it means is that made even more cash cuz they didnt' have to pay him.

I'm really glad I picked and chose the EI events I went to carfeully (each one last summer except for Hot Since 82 [Civ holiday], and only Sven Vath this summer) as it unfortunately seems like EI is rapidly losing it's appeal and luster.
I would love to see the EI group and promoters pick things back up in 2015 and hold it steady throughout the summer as these events are some of my most sought after parties and most memorable as well.
There are many artists that are suitable for EI, there is no reason to repeat bookings so soon!

Same. Also underwhelmed by the next line-up, but will be going to support Simon and Gera.

Also, I'm super excited, Tale Of Us was amazing in Detroit at the festival and afterparty. And I wanna hear their remix of Caribou live.

I dunno why everyone assumes the worst, like I said on facebook, Seth def can right sketchy at times. But, I've seen him go 72 hours without skipping a best like that. He'll wear his sketch like a badge of honour and usually push on through.
He did have a super busy weekend though, not that it is an excuse.

Whatever the reason, it's not good of these promoters to not compensate us somehow.
I think that's the new standard pricing regardless of who's playing. It's always crowded so I doubt they'll lower prices. I don't know how they could possibly refund us in a way that makes sense lol. Maybe 10$ off next show for those who went ? Can't give free tix to troxler show when he reschedules due to mass amount of people

Well it'd be 'nice' if they were able to give a coupon for cover at the club or drink tix or soemthing, but yeah I get there were so many people there and this happened last min, so it was impossible to do I guess. It's just a thought.
I'd probably only go back to ei for maceo plex since it seems to be within their realm.

Glad I sat this one out. After Canada Day, there seems to be more things keeping me from going to these parties than drawing me to them. Like boat cruises, it'll take a DJ I really want to see shell out a minimum of $40 for a ticket. Carl Cox would probably be my first choice to see now that Sven has came and gone. I'd even say fuck it and go to Lawler there even though I think he's passed his prime. These repeat bookings in only the 2nd season isn't enough to get my lazy ass on the ferry lol. Lee Foss would be another good candidate too.
