If only you could have seen it with your own eyes, dealers hasseling you to buy and then when you repeatedly said no they still followed you. The sound system was horrible in the trance area, it was crackling so bad because the amps were being pushed beyond their limits, and they were pumping way too many watts to the speakers. The system would have been better suited for a party in a backyard not the open wilderness. As for lighting, what lighting? The dj had a little work light on the mixer that's about it. Not even a crappy dj in a box lighting system. I just payed $32.76 for my ticket to see PvD. Where the fuck do they get off thinking it is OK to charge $30??? BTW, when you actually did pay the money went into the hands of a man wearing a dirty poncho and looked like he hadn't bathed in days and hand not shaved in weeks. If you would have told me he was homeless I would have believe it without question. There was around 500 people there at $30 a head, where did all the money go? It didn't go to sound, it didn't go to talent, it didn't go to lighting. I think someone is sitting at home right now on a pile of money laughing at all people that payed to get in. Shady operations are under way x's 1,000,000!!!

well as mentioned... outdoor events are awesome... just not this one.

sounds like an attack to us TA's who did show up and are speaking facts... hope thats not an attack, i come in peace sky

Dude that is crazy what I am hearing. I have been to that same venue and thought it was the shit. This was also on momorial weekend where it was HipHip Horave and many headliners and tons of people. It was well lite with actual stages and it was not that much of a drug fest. It was alot of the ravers you see everywhere and tons of cute girls. It had to be the promoters and not the venue. You cant help the dirt but I guess it was just shitty promotion. That venue is cool. Dude I would have loved to hear that set you spun dj tranz. Nice track selection.

Hey i had a pretty rough sat evening as well. I drove half way to Vegas to attend some white trash wedding of a girl i went to high school with. Her husband sounds like your description of the promoter at the rave. I was just standing there shaking my head the whole time wanting to scream out "dont do it girl, his hair is longer than mine"

Originally posted by djskyhigh It really makes me sad to read this thread and see how shitty this event turned out to be. I was asked to play this party several months ago, and I turned down the gig because the promoter seemed like he had no clue what he was doing and to be honest he just seemed like an asshole, I asked him a bunch of reasonable questions about the event and he had no real answers for me. It was very obvious to me that it was a first time production run by people who had no experience, coming from the underground scene myself and throwing underground/outdoor evnts for years, I decided I did not want to be a part of this event. Ironically enough, I was then told by the promoter that I was "too Hollywood", hahaha... I apologized to him for asking questions like, where is the location, who are the other djs, how many events have you done, do you have a website, what time slots, etc... and wished him luck on his event. I feel really bad for all the DJs involved and for any of the poor people that drove out and wasted their night (when they could have been at the insane Will Spin For Food loft party )... What pisses me off the most is that this guy throws a shitty event like this, then all the TAs come on and bash it (rightfully so in this case), and then other TAs read the reviews and get a COMPLETELY FALSE impression of what an outdoor party really is like... and that fucking sucks. I have thrown so many great outdoor events with good people, music and vibes.. and I know many other crews that throw quality outdoor events as well .. then one guy can put a sour taste in everyones mouth cuz he went and tried to play "promoter"... sweetcandy and others that read this: this review should not affect your decision to go check out a future outdoor event.. I guarantee there are lots of amazing ones and as long as you just investigate who is doing the party and their track record, then you will probably end up having one of the best EDM experiences of your life. edit: and WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH TICKET PRICES???? are you kidding me?? 1st event.. outdoor.. no headliners (sorry to anyone playing, but none of us would be considered "headliners" enough to justify charging 30 dollars) and then the party is shit??? wtf??

Agreed. Don't judge every party by one bad one. I was also approached by somebody from that event. Seemed a bit shady to me too...
