I can't believe no one has started this thread yet!
I only got to go to DEMF one day this year, but it was definatly an amazing day. For sure the best DEMF I had been to. The weather...holy CRAP it was hot. That's the way I like it though...it was GORGEOUS!
I went on Sunday. Got there just after 3:30pm with Cale and Sam after a mega lunch feast at The Olive Garden. We met up with Shanny and Derek at the main stage for Donald Glaude and quickly found Nat, Jenn, Chris, Kris and a few of their friends (sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you...I'm shy!). I LOVE Donald Glaude's energy. He's so much fun to dance too. He played a few tracks that I recognized. Apparently when I got there I had JUST missed Arcadia. Super fun dancing in the sorching sun. There was tons of room and it was awesome to look around and see the different, unique people around you.
Afterwards Cale, Sam, Shanny, Derek and I got some drinks (best lemonade EVER) and walked around the festival. It was cool to check out the different tents and to get a little wet in the fountain. Then we went down to the water to hang out. The breeze was awesome.
We were all going over to check out the Real Detroit tent at 6pm for Kenneth Thomas, but Cale and I headed over a bit before so we could look for some smoothies on the way. We didn't find any so we got some cherry-ade instead. Got to the RD tent where Yos was spinning and the next song that came on was that "So ing sexy, you're a sexy " I LOVE this song. We immediatly found some dancing room and started busting a move. He ended with "THIS IS MIAMI" and I just about FREAKED out. Right then, Shanny, Derek & Sam jumped into the tent and we all started rockin' it out. KT went on after that - I love that guy - and he was spinning super fun tunes. I really liked that tent. Shady, breezy, tons of room to dance and really friendly people.
We had to leave at around 6:30pm, but no worries, it was a great time. One of my favorite weekends in the summer for sure. I love the festival, the atmosphere and getting to hear all kinds of music I don't listen to as often. Glad it was gorgeous out.
Unfortunatly I didn't get a chance to go on Monday night to check out Ritchie Hawtin but I had to work early on Tuesday so I opted for sleep!
Best DEMF yet. |

I think lack of reviews can be attributed to all the people who attended being in a non stop four day party.
Demf was great, I have tons of pictures and will put them up along with a full review when i get home from work tonight. |

Donald Glaude was ing awesome, I wish it wasn't so hot and I wish I didn't look like such a douchebag with rolled up jeans.
Smart thinking on my part not to pack shorts.
Oh yeah, $11 USD for lemonade. |

Don't worry you looked fine!
And that $11US for lemoade was for 2 giant lemonades which you have to admit was damn good lemonade. |
