Theres either lots of curious people like myself that want to know from those that went. And or, it just sucked so much that even those that went are ashamed to admit it.

Which btw, if the latter was the case, would be very comforting since I would feel like I didn't miss anything.

Cheers

curious as well. missed out on the compression tent

I had a blast! but not because of the music, it was overall uninspiring. I have to say the compression setup had the best music all night.

I agree that Compression had the best music consistently. I made my way around the festival grounds pretty regularly (I had friends hanging out at every stage), but I always gravitated toward the techno beats.

It's probably passe to say that I enjoyed Moby's set, but it's true. I went in expecting him to bang out anthems from start to finish, and that's exactly what he did. It was nice to hear some old bangers from 8-10 years ago. I only wish he would have played more of his original productions.

The Indie tent was interesting. I had to check out Tittsworth just for his name alone, and I heard just what I expected: Booty House. The music in this tent was interesting, but the DJing skills were severely lacking. I couldn't listen for more than 15 minutes at a time because of all the terrible transitions between tracks.

Marques Wyatt spun some good tunes in the Deep tent. I caught about 30 minutes of the beginning of Farina's set and it was decent. I'm sure he picked it up later on as he was on stage for 3 hours. I left the party early, so I can't give any opinions on anything after 2am.

The VIP area was, IMO, the best part about the event. There wasn't anything special about the setup, but there were no lines for the bar and the bathroom lines moved quickly. One question, though: What's up with Monster distributing "Tour Water" in a can similar to their energy drink? It took me a minute to realize what was going on when I asked for a water and was handed a Monster can.

All in all, Giant was decent, but not spectacular. I'd estimate 7000-8000 in attendance. Lines were short, there was room to dance, and the music was generally good. It just seemed that everybody there wasn't into the NYE vibe that usually hangs over parties like these. I wonder if it was an economical issue.

who was headlining at the vanguard afterparty?

Benassi. I hear about 1000 people showed up for that. I got there late and the crowd was thinning quickly.
