| i thought edc was pretty fun yesterday. it was weird though, usually at the door for raves they make you throw away your inhalers and chapstick and what not, but here they didnt, i dont know i havent been to a "rave" type event in a long time. anywas, that was cool, so we got in, and i watched joof for a little while, he was pretty good. we were waiting for more of our friends so i missed the whole sandra collins set. infected mushroom was awesome, they really sparked the energy in teh room, and i started to peak, and i was floored, so it was cool. gabriel and dresden were pretty good, it was my first time seeing them live, i dont know why they went on after infected mushroom, cuz they were playing slower music, but it didnt bother me much. i pretty much missed the whole lawerence set walking around looking for pills, cuz i guess i ran out, finally found them about 15 minutes into the corsten set and then the rest of it was cool. overall it was pretty fun, it was really hot in the room, but that was alright. |

I got past security and got to the ticketing swine. I told her my name and she pulled out the list, she said I wasn't on the list. I told her I had been confirmed and to check again, so she just glanced at the list for a split second and once again said I wasn't on the list. I got close and looked at the list for myself for about 5 seconds and there was my name, I pointed it out to her as she pulled the list away and she told me that I wasn't on the list and I would have to pay $20. I told her I had just seen my name on the list so why should I pay $20 when the list was for $10. She then said "Pay $20 or leave" I looked her in the eyes and said " YOU" threw my $20 on the floor and walked in.

EDC 2006 A Review:
EDC 2006 starts off with Kris, Sarah and I getting our outfits ready. Kris was a lovely flower, Sarah was a lady bug and I was the bee. Events are so much more fun in costume. Julie arrives a little after 5:30 and we are off to NOS.
Getting into the parking lot took some time since there was a Monster Truck show next door. We got a spot headed to get our tickets and went into the event. The “search” was by far the easiest search I went threw. Just lift the bra a little and open my purse for a quick second and we where in. Woot woot!
Once in we walked around to get a feel for the place and people. Back in my “rave” days people would attend in bright colors. But I guess things have changed since people where dressed in really dark emo clothing. The age of the event seems to be getting younger and younger and it really disturbed me that jr high girls where walking around in nothing but their underwear :nervous:
We decided to go get a drink at one of the bars outside. We go to the “beer Garden” and there where no cups. After waiting a good 10 Minutes cups finally come but there are no mixers and they haven’t even taped the kegs yet. So we grab a shot and head over to the hotdog stand and they had no soda. How can there be a massive of over 10,000 and not one place have soda! It seemed that the “food” stands had no organization what so ever.
As I was pouring the lemonade in to our shots JOOF walks up. Totlay random but very cool. We talk to him again for a bit and grab a picture. He has to go in to the main stage and we chill for a little while longer. People and even a cop wanted to take our pictures. :haha:
It was close to 7 and we all decided to head to the main area to see JOOF. We get the perfect spot for his set. JOOF takes over the decks and more TA’s join us in the front row. Kris and I go grab a very expensive and very strong AMF… and head back to our spot. JOOF played yet another awesome dance your ass off Set. I could tell that he was feeing off all the energy from the front row. The room gets more packed but there is plenty of room to dance. During his set I finish my AMF and I was that A ;) Faded. But non the less I danced my ass off. The room is so hot and Sarah and I where totally sweaty. They really need to have some big fans in the front and sides since the AC doesn’t cut it when the room full and the temp outside was in the 3 digits. The guy who was “hosting” John came down to us and told us that John set was going to be 2 hrs long since Sandra Collins was late. WOOO HOOOO! All though he had an early time slot it worked out to his benefit. He got the longest set of the night.
I really do not remember when Sandra got on stage with her odd set up. What was up with all the computer monitors and the guy that was with her. Once she got on the energy of the room completely died. Her first track was so slow and boring and her 3rd track in the music just stops. She looked completely wasted all ready and tried to blame it on her set up. I am pretty sure she hit stop on the CDJ! :haha: Her set was so awful that Sarah and I took the opportunity to explore and check out the house area. On the way there I all most fell and tripped on the crackies sitting on the Grass and or holes in the ground. Walking in the Grass in go-go boots is a hard task to do.
Mark Ferina was on and I was board to Tears so Sarah and I go the VIP area to get some water and a cocktail. We could not go out side with it so we had to chug it before going back to the main area to see infected mushroom. By this time the room was uber packed to the point of being unsafe. It was hard to even move. Sarah and I managed to walk our way close to the front. The only dancing I could do was when I was getting pushed and shoved by everyone. The crowd was nuts. And it was now all most 2 hot to handle. I could not take it and almost got to the point where I wanted to leave the area and go some place else. But I stuck with it since we finally got front and center and I did not want to loose are spot. Infected Mushroom was amazing! So much energy. I love that “live” stuff. After their last song the crowd wanted 1 more and they got it. The person running the stage was not impressed and got upset since this one more song pushed the time-slots even more back. After their set G&D took over.
Again the energy of the room left when Infected Mushroom left. Once G&D started everyone stopped dancing. G&D set had no flow or direction. They where flat out dull and boring. Zzzzzz. It was torcher. But if you thought this set was bad you should have seen their set at Cochella. Now that was really bad. During there set I got thirsty and so did Sarah. With all the dancing and heat it was time to get re-hydrated. In fear of losing our spot… I got John’s attention and asked him for water. He understood my sign language and got me 2 waters. He singled for me to go to the side. But I could not move. After a little bit of waiting he came back on stage and I singled to him I could not move. But decided forget this whole not having water for the rest of the night thing.. So I tell John to meet me on the side and brave my way threw the craziness. I all most tiped and feel on a couple e-puddles. But I got the water. I was so thankful that JOOF did that for us. Super Duper nice. After a quick chat I head back over to Sarah with the water and G&D where still going no where. All of a sudden a friend of mine walks by and hands me a wrist band. Sarah and I plot out a plan and I head back stage. I go over to talk to John and ask him for a huge favor he hand me a wrist band and I head out to get Sarah back stage with me. Ahhh now we can move and it was a lot cooler back there. When I was back there G&D droped the dreaded must die SOS track. But to be honest that was the only time I saw the crowd go nutzo during their set… :nervous:
When I am back there a group that I met in Miami where there. They where so happy to see me and gave me a huge hug. They told me that this is the 12th show they have seen of Ferry. They rented a RV and Traveled the country to see Ferry. Talk about dedication!! After I talked to them I go mingle with my other friends. At this time I wanted to take my ear plugs out since I really did not need them any more. I got the left one out just fine but the right one was so weged in that it was stuck. I tried my best to get it out and even try using a straw. Not very smart. So My friend walks me over to first aid so I can get the EMT guy to get it out. Note to self do not make one ear plug into 2. After the ear plug was out and the pressure released it was time to go back to the main area. Ferry was finally there. And I got all silly and gitty. It has been since WMC that I have seen him so it was really good seeing him again. I went over to say hello and talked to him for a bit. I take out the L.E.F Insert and get him to sign the inside of it for me. He was amazed that I had the CD all ready! :haha:
He left the area so I danced away to C. Lawerance’s set. It was obvious that he was in his “home” tuff. And threw down an amazing set! The crowd got his energy back up. During his set Kris Joined us back stage and we all talked and laughed with Ferry some more.
Ferry takes over the decks and this was the moment I have been waiting for all night :D Ferry is not afraid to push the boundaries and try new things. His set was AMAZING!! I just got a huge smile on my face. And the crowd was eating him up. 10-15mins in his set they let people up to the stage so I go up there and dance too the side. I see Kris and Sarah and my other friends in the front and decided to go join them. At this time I wip out my hearts and hand them out and we all hold them up. Seeing the look on Ferry’s face was priceless as always and he looked like he was having the time of his life up there. And made his hand heart back to the crowd. Kris and Sarah want to hear “punk” so I go back up to the stage with a heart and request it. Ferry was being a dork and said no. So I take a piece of the heart and write on it.. pretty please with Suger on top. He still tells me no. :haha: so for the rest of the night I stay on the stage dancing away. And his last track was “punk” woot woot. Hehe :P
Other Tracks Ferry played that night:
Galaxia- The one on L.E.F
I love you
Everything is Beautiful
Cubikated
After his set people wanted one more but it was 4am and the security people really wanted to go home. Ferry Stays for a bit and takes time for his fans. Kris, Sarah, Julie and I stay back to avoid the mob and figuring he would come back to say goodbye. When he was done security made a human fence and told us to leave. I was not content with that so I moved real slow and told them all I wanted to do was say good bye to Ferry. So they said it for me. Ferry told someone that it was ok for us girls to stay and he came down to talk with us. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I can not wait to see Ferry again!!!
I had such an amazing EDC experience by far the best one yet. When the Music take over and you are with your friends you kinda forget the bad aspects of massives and that is what happened this weekend.
A special thank you goes out to Kris, Sarha, Julie, Ernisto and the other TA’s for making this such an amazing weekend!! I am still on my little happy cloud :)
I will post my pictures up soon :) |

| Traffic was so wh0rish! I didn't get in until mid Gabriel and Dresden. Then Christopher Lawrence came on, so I immediately left the room and fell asleep on the lawn with a bunch of people getting free lightshows. Then I woke up, and made it to Ferry's last 30 minutes and then went home. What a night. Well anyway, when I was stuck on E. Street trying to find parking, I heard some DJ play "Trans Am - Cold War (War Is Stupid Mix)." Does anyone have any idea who played this song that night? Just curious. :( It's this song: http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF212777-01-02-10.mp3 Thanks in advance guys. I hope you all had fun. |

that was most deff the original mix. lawrence has been playing it for a while now and the original is the only one that he plays, and i love that track and i didnt recognize it as a remix.
nice to meet up with most of my TA homies at the front for joof. sucks i coudlnt find u guys after. i kept an eye out for you guys but couldnt fine you. i tried calling robert but i guess the number i have for him has changed, because i was calling it and it had said that it was disconnected. much love to mr.stern for taking care of things. you didnt have to do that, but thx. sorry i couldnt find u guys.
so to sum things up quickly
bamaca = who? clean mixing, little on the zzzz side though
Sandra = drunk and boring
G & D = omg some one shoot me
infected mushroom = FTW
Lawrence = you all know how i feel about that. rocked it as usual
Ferry = ing bomb set

| I have had this on my mind since seeing G&D at EDC...what exactly do they do on Ableton that is so special??? I don't remember hearing anything special being done with Ableton...unlike James Zabiela whom I've seen tear it up with it in the past. Why do G&D use Ableton when they hardly use it to its potential? As a huge fan of theirs, I think its a scam to see them clickin away on the laptop. Drag and drop. Doesn't ableton beatmatch for you? Grrr. I wish peeps still used vinyl sometimes. You can truly appreciate a set when it is flawlessly mixed with vinyl. Skillz. |
