Insomniac promoters themselves admitted to screwing up. If nobody complains, we dont drive them to do better next time and fix their flaws. Obviously the event will not be perfect, but it can get better for sure

Being passive about everything is a whole other evil.

Josh-

I see your logic there..I guess all I can say is that I didn't let the negatives outweight the positives, in terms of my overall experience. I do understand what you're saying, though.

I just think that it's a little extreme when people say that the entrance line ruined the whole event. Of course Insomniac needs to know that they were unorganized, I'm sure they figured that one out the day of the event..I just wish more people would appreciate that we even have events like this out here, regardless of the problems.

edit.

Well it ruined half of my night cuz it took away over 2hrs of my time in which I had planned on seeing 2 certain DJs and wasn't able to! grrrrr.... I even got there earlier than I usually do when going anywhere but that didn't work! Things seemed to have been worse!
Anyway... It was my first EDC event and big massive at the Coliseum. I'm already over the frustration and thanks to MOBY for making my night! YEAH!!!


NEXT...

this thread needs to end... i mean, its 14 pages long! all of you guys on here will be going to Monster Massive, TAO and then EDC next year.

this is all old news now....

Trin, you will need to consider yourself lucky because you have MOBY to make your night. Me on the other end, yes I missed Menno & Eddie because of the 2 hours line, and MOBY & PVD just did not do it for me... and it was also my first EDC event and massive at the Coliseum. We had to wait 2 hours before we can get out from the parking spot afterwards, leaving around 5.45am (the sun rose already!) Yes, that was two hours waiting to get IN and two hours waiting to get OUT!

Now me and my girl are being kind of traumatized for any massive event in LA again

Yeeee.. Nocturnal isnt as bad since it isnt all ages.. but what happened to above and beyond at nocturnal?.. wouldnt they be a headliner too?

i remember that VERY WELL.. we saw a dirt road and made our friend jump out of the car to run down to see if the road would lead us back on to the main one and cut some traffic.. it did..

the party ended at 6-6:30? we got to the car..knocked out.. i woke up 2 hours later.. and we were still in the same spot in the parking lot..


ahahah memories

We must've been standing near each other in line cuz those are the 2 DJs that I missed! Oh and as for leaving... dah, leave before the party ends! I did! I left at around 3:30 to beat the rush! Though I still ended up with not being able to find my car til I walked around the whole Coliseum! hahahaha...
