Originally posted by ucforange To each their own. I'm going because I know the party itself is absolutely the best thing going on in North America. If DJ XYZ doesn't happen to be there, there's plenty of others equally as good. This board has really turned into a bunch of obsessive DJ snobs. Isn't it about the party, vibe, and programming of music above all else? But suit yourself, stay home and just go to club events. Have fun with that.

Someone's a bit salty.. lol

Stay home and just go to club events? OK, guy.

I actually don't go to events in Florida, anymore. Haven't done so in mad long (maybe since seeing Donnie in Orlando even?). I now prefer to forgo the instant gratification of a club night locally and just continue to save for the rewarding trips outside conus. Canada was a blast last year; Europe will be fun this year.

Now don't get me wrong, I'd still like to attend Movement. But it has to really entice me considering all the other options out there for travel. And I've never been a fan of festivals to begin with, really. It still costs at least a G to go, and unless you're banking that's still a grip of money. I'd much prefer to do a string of club nights somewhere abroad while fitting in other sightseeing adventures along the way. Detroit just doesn't offer that. It's the same reason why I'm not jumping up to attend BPM.

Maybe instead of DJ snob the better term is travel snob

I've been feeling this way as well. I really want to peep Detroit, then I start adding up the expenses and cancel every year. You can literally spend the same money and go to europe. Hell my flight home I just bought yesterday Brussels to Miami was 150$ direct. One day I will get to movement sadly just not this year. DGTL, Time Warp, Sonar and Ibiza this year.

Bunch of snobs! I haven't been able to make it out since iii points weekend (missed ms mada thanks to a friends overly extended party At wack ass mangos Orlando). Hopefully tonight I will finally get out and see three

Thought about going. But to come from Tampa, cover, yada, yada, yada. I come back a couple hundred lighter and for what.

I'm not a baller, lol. Put that in the piggy bank and before you know it summer is here and I'm backpacking in Europe fully financed.

Yeah fight the power.

i agree with you completely! the thought of partying for 4-5 days in detroit doesnt entice me all that much to spend the money for it. every year my friends ask "are you coming this year?" if rather take the $1000 youre gonna approximately spend and put it towards europe which i have again this year and heading back to time warp germany for the 2nd year in a row. my "mega festival" enjoyment is slowly dwindling. i want real raves and while time warp germany has 25000 people, the venue gives you the festival feel combined with a dark grimey warehouse rave at the same time. its an all around spectacular venue for the event.

if only i could get more friends to stop pissing away $40-75 or more per night out locally and sock it away for a real party trip with a bigger group it would be nice. oh well

Yep we get to Mannheim the morning of the 2nd from Berlin. Hopefully we can set a meeting point for Time Warp. I'll be with another TAer as well.


Our June trip just changed actually because of some recent developments so we're doing Kappa Futur Festival in Turin, then Ibiza and then ???

what hotel are you stayin at in mannheim? id definitely like to try and arrange some sort of meetup. we have about 15 in our group total at 2 different hotels.

my jealousy level just went through the roof youre doing kappa futur festival!! one of my top 3 i want to hit asap.

Excited for Bjarki, Servito b2b Palaisko, Len Faki, Matthew Dear, Carlos Souffront. Can't believe people are talking shit about the lineup. Thought they did a great job incorporating some of the hottest sounds and labels out right now (Bunker, Trip, Dekmantel, etc) along with the local Detroit sounds as well as old favorites. Gonna be a glorious 3 days of music in the "D."
