I got inside around 9:30 pm.......It was my first time there, heard many opinions about EDC and so I wanted to check it out. I went up in a caravan and it was my little sisters' first time at a rave so she had a blast. I was not feeling EDC at first, I thought, "brings me back to the old skool days when vibrating devices, vicks inhalers, and pacifiers were in full effect. Now adays I just want to be in my own area dancing, don't want to be bothered.
I met up with DJ faded aka Mike Lord aka bonehead aka (insert your personal name for him here) and Rob Stern in the citrus room when Infected Mushroom was playing. It was RIDICULOUS how hot it was in there, or just in general, we were like, "F*&^ this!" and left.
We went cruising around for a bit, headed over to the dome where Bassnectar was dropping some beats so we danced around and it was alot cooler in there and more room to bounce around. Then we went back to cruising around, met up with my peeps and some of his peeps, kept going in and out of the citrus room, then G&D came on. I was back with my peeps and G&D after Infected Mushroom was alittle awkward transition but whatever......went back into the dome to see Adam Freeland play and that was fun!!! Ran into Carrie and bounced around with her for a bit, went on the ride together. The ride looks so innocent and joyful, but it's whiplash every 7 seconds for 2 minutes. Carrie and I had fun though.
After that, I made my way back to citrus room when Ferry came on, after CL. I managed to catch maybe 10 mins of CL's set, so I can't really have an opinion on him, though I'm sure he tore it up. When Ferry got behind the decks, right away, the trance session really began.....it was good, kept us on our feet for sometime. I manage to steal my friends' hat and bust out with my own poplocking robot 20 minute groovin' world. I like shutting off and flowing with the beats. By 3:30, we were pretty much over it because the heat was unbarable by then, sweat, humidity, packed, puddle cuddles on the dance floor.....so we split.
My personal overall experience of EDC is I did have fun, it was an experience. Would I recommend it to people.............eh...............I like to go to a music festival and enjoy the vibe. EDC seemed like alot of little kids going to get completely off their rocker where they aren't coherent. Granted, I was on a good one too, but I definitely noticed my "ravin" days have changed as I got older. I just like dancing to the music, meeting up with peeps I know, and have space to dance.
It was fun though, nothing like Global Gathering or Trance Energy.........this 4am party's over deal doesn't work too well in my books. Ah well though, just gotta enjoy yourself in some form of fashion.
I like to give a shout out to couple TA's I saw, Rob Stern, Carrie, and Mike Li-zord!!! That drink was potant btw!!! I know there was a large amount of TA's there and more people I know, sorry I didn't see you, but there's always another time!!!!!!!!
