But that's just exactly it.....staying at some nice hip hotel and not leaving. I enjoy the Palms I stayed there before, can't bag on the promoters for trying. However, Global Gathering isn't about fancy hotels, and having it in a field is why it is what it is. I've been twice to GG and I enjoy the treck there, I like watching all the crazy people of all walks of life, young and old scouters and VIPs all getting together enjoying themselves. Can't bag on it being in a field if that's where it originated from granted it started at Godskitchen. But they put it on Long Field Airforce base because it's so huge and regardless if it's raining (which it did this year) it made it that much more funner cause people didn't care, nobody gave a shit about being up in a nice hotel (unless you're the dj's of course), camping out and chillen in th middle of nowhere being live on Radio 1 watching the aerial planes in the air......seeing random dj's walking around, jumping from tent to tent.....That's what makes it Global Gathering.....and this year Hed Kandi did VIP area, loved that house music!
3 day holiday weekend in Vegas is pretty chill, I admit, I'm working out there so I can't complain......but if they want to bring Global Gathering to the west side of the mississippi, definitely more production should go into and a better line up. Granted though, the EDM line up isn't bad........You know what I mean though??? That's why I go over to Europe for major events cause' the vibe is soo much better, it's genuine and pure....not image orientated. Plus Global Gathering cators to dance music, so diversity isn't really what they go for, that's why there's coachella for diversity. If GG was to be diverse, they would of changed it up along time ago......This years event was crazy and even though my treck there was ridiculous and frustrating, it was worth it. But hopefully it works out for them.... |
exactly, but its all we can expect from vegas though, casino centered image driven entertainment. I highly doubt any promoter(s) out here could even come close to any event put on in europe mainly because they never deviate from the beaten path they have used before, bring in celebrites and have them hang out at a party and have one or two big name djs play inside a small club.
although I do hate to look negatively on it cause nothign like this has been here before and it is a step in a better direction. Now you can go to any pool party here and hear house, not great house, but its house. and now these bigger events are starting up, so hopefully it can be done right soon.
