I guess this sums it up. I am still bitching cause I only want more people who feel the same to speak up and expect more of you guys and deliver like you use to do. Maybe if enough people complain shit will change. A month untill the event and still no line up. is it really too much to ask for a rich ass company as insomniac to do something that hasn't been seen in LA? Or should we accept the same line ups every year. Cause we all know millions of dollars will be made regardless.

You even mentioned how you are better off keeping your mouth shut. Don't go back on your word, I am sure it was recorded. It wouldn't be that hard to find someone that was recording your live broadcast, they do it all the time. You posting on here shows merit, and proved my point. Even if the broadcast wasn't recorded. People can THINK for themselves on this one, the sheep well are sheep. I just did it for the lol's never knew it would fly out of this proportion.

cool story bro.

I agree with you that waiting this long for a complete lineup is pretty lame and there is pretty much no excuse for being so slow. Still, what "we" think really doesn't matter when they continually manage to pull record numbers to this festival. The only thing that will cause a change in the way they do business is if their attendance drops. But, with the way EDM is blowing up in the US lately I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I dunno, I already decided I was going this year because my friends wanted to go and I figure pretty soon I'll be too old to still be going to raves. I just wanna see the biggest EDM party in the US, and I plan to enjoy it for what it is.

And dude, you live in berkeley... The 21+ techno scene here in SF is SO FUCKING GOOD that it really shouldn't matter too much that it's under-represented at one party. You don't have to drive 400 miles to get it, you can find some every night just across the bridge.

Ah well thats way tougher then. You're definitely in the minority for "kids" in your age group, hence the lack of techno bookings at 18+/all ages parties. Shit i'm almost 24 and i'm still pretty much the youngest person at most techno events. You can try finding some UGs but overall you're hurtin' till your birthday, outside of outdoor stuff like lovefest/dirtybird sundays/etc.

Sunset day parties and Dirtybird keep me alive in times like this lol. At least timo is here tomorrow. Still its just sad to watch these festivals get worse each year and to watch more sheeps come. It's just really greedy and I don't feel the love for the music anymore there.

LA is a lot different from the bay. They (the majority) want the hype shit. It'll always be that way. Once LA massives start booking techno dj's, techno as genre would have hit the mainstream and we (the minority) would then be complaining about that.

Overall, EDC is a fun event. Yes, you'll be stepping over e-puddles, buying expensive drinks, eating horrible foods (if you anyone can even eat) but it is definitely an experience. This will be my 4th year attending since moving to the Coliseum and each year, its been pretty fucking wicked.

I have to disagree on this one there is one burrito stand that is always there and they make the dankest burritos and tacos ever i forget the name. but other than that yeah they all suck and the fools selling the sausages outside after take the win.

good thing we got guestlist!
