it was nuts...the rain was relentless ALL day, i bribed a trash lady for a trash bag to make a poncho cuz i was getting so cold.
it was absolutely nuts...but awesome at the same time, but hopefully one time like this is enough...

I dont think I would mind the basic setups as long as the talent is there, which it is. plus the price was right, $140 for both days is a good deal in my opinion, one place for 2 days (20 hours) to see/hear so many different djs.

yea i was there when it rained. people danced in the storage containers.

i think stage design and decor adds a lot to the festival experience. sure it rains but the decor and design doesnt get ruined by rain. Ultra has better lineups then most festivals but if they did go with some decor, shit at least basic stuff like not using white booths and decorate the entrance and what not - simple stuff like Insomniac does at their events - would add so much. Same though with lighting. The stage lightings are terrible. Tents are much better and even that is limited when comparing. Dont want to come off only complaining - ill be going saturday - just would think if they step up these factors it would be a festival not to miss for those even in countries that have the other festivals. I mean simple stuff like laser reflectors on the outdoor stages would add a lot.

the root society one is the same as at burning man...its cool to see UMF branching out and getting into the "hippie" edm side more...should be a really cool atmosphere to walk around and go from genre to genre.

*EDIT* These are not the Official times -- so to prevent any further confusion I'm removing this. Sorry peeps!
