woot for Hope they read posts about how they need to improve production lighting and sound wise for the outdoor stages! Sound this year is going to be amazing for carl cox tent - new stack system(forgot the details but remember it was great). Just concerned over stages and the lack of lighting and lasers and sound. If that improves, FUCK YEA!

I've always hoped that, didn't go to ultra, watched videos the next day and saw that it still sucked.

This year i'm actually going and hoping more than ever that they improve all those things.

I mean for 10 years, a simple steel stage with white lights and one laser just doesnt cut it - as well as poor sound. They really should step it up for those who want to check out the outdoor stages. I think they should decorate the damn steel as well. Put images or a design around the stage, etc. Make it look like an electronic event. Also I hope besides lighting and sound, the screens behind the djs are going to be better this time around. How about a massive wall from corner to coerner instead of three or so? I dunno, stage production really could use work and in general production does. Make this an electronic festival and not just a electronic artist on stage instead of a club event. And with year 10, this should be all out to finally compete with european production for stages and sound for the outdoor stages.

i passed by bicentenial over the weekend, the main stage is already up.. i want to say it looked bigger, but i was so wasted... i think however it is the same stage from last year

they always add something new anyway... everything looked like it was going up pretty good... tents are the place to be if youre looking for that electronic fest feel.

and idk man, i always thought the sound was pretty good.. my friend lives on the water on SW 152st, and he could hear ultra across the water from bicentenial.. which is like a good 20 miles away
i guess thats simple physics thou? lol

I thought Prodigy sure had it sounding good a few years back. Same with Infected Mushroom. last year seemed not as good, although EVERYTHING was not as good last year because of the weather.

Posted by element-y on Mar-24-2008 20:57:

i agree/ Prodigy and IM sounded great with the system. But yea not much sounded amazing last year stage wise. it wasnt bad, but not amazing. could be rolled back settings due to the rain?

I would say yes. On Friday there was even tons of wind. Miss Kittin was trying to DJ with vinyl and had to stop because the wind was knocking the needle all over!

I'm sure a lot of the sound stuff had to do with the weather.

Is it allowed to take a compact digital camera ?

The problem with the Prodigy Ultra was the fact that it was their first time in that venue and they didn't space everything out that well... I was watching The Prodigy and and pvd but all one ear could hear was Benny Benassi tearing it up in the tent down in the corner. Last year they had a better set up and those freight containers helped alot..

Anyone know anything about Club 90 degree? The only thing I could find online was a call for a dancer audition. It looks like it's an easy walk from Bicentennial Park, though.

Posted by hiram on Mar-25-2008 23:58:

club 90 degrees is apparently the old club Life... which is an easy walk from bicentenial. on the same block as space-

what planbrad said. between 2 & 4 is a good time to show up. seasoned (druggie) veterans show up close to dusk so the sun doesn't kick their ass and they spend 30 dollars for 2 water bottles

Alright so this might have already been discussed in here but I'm not digging through 350 posts or however long this thread is.

What are you all doing about backpacks and cameras? Both are supposedly "not allowed" but we all know a lot of people have them. How do you all do it?

Posted by element-y on Mar-29-2008 08:16:

Security didnt check at all. I got in holding a bottle that was open in one hand and a camera in the other.
