Overall, had a great time. The "2nd Stage" was a pretty big disappointment, just due to its size, and that's where the best music was. Matthew Dear & Akufen were incredible. Dear's set, in particular, was easily one of the best I've ever heard. Junkie didn't disappoint, as usual, and hearing Mushroom on that set-up was . Deep Dish was a lot of fun, but I still don't understand some of the decisions on track selection, as people have already gone over. And last but not least, thanks to Tiesto for providing me with the most hilarious moment of the weekend. My friend actually turned to me towards the end of that set and said, "what do you think he'll play next?" Jokingly, I replied, "probably 'Traffic.'" When it came on about a minute later, we both just burst out laughing uncontrollably. I was still hoping for some sort of explosions or flame-throwing for him, but that finale made up for it, especially with the random & unbelievably out of place filter he threw in in the middle of it--one of the worst things I've ever heard someone decide to do.
I can't say enough about how great-sounding the main stage set-up was. I kept waiting for somebody to play something that'd reveal some flaws, but it just kept sounding incredible all the way through. Keep it, but figure out a way to get more than 30 people at the second stage, & get rid of Tiesto, and it's even better. Finally, good meeting a few of you for the first time, random though it might have been.
