Yeah, when we left the VIP area at like 1:40 there was zero security there. Everyone was free to flee in and out of it.

Funny thing, about half an hour after armins set, i was just walking towards the bar in V.I.P and suddenly bumped into armin walking around by himself, i was kinda surprised so all i said was great set and walked of to find my buddies.
It didnt look like anyone recognized him over there |
If they saw PVD they would have cause that's all anyone knows there. But I got the ugly feeling that no one really cared or knew what was going on there last night. Bottom line yea the event did suck. |

Ya, the vibe in the VIP room was really lacking which is why i ended up spending most of my night on the main floor and only went back to vip when i needed some breathing space.
But its not to often that you bump into your favorite dj so im upset that all i could say was great set... haha well maybe next time |

Ferry and I got there late around 12 headed strait to the bleachers and watched the see of people go crazy every time a beat was dropped.
All and all was great definitely more people than the past events. Uncomfortable getting around or getting a drink and dealing with the 12-16 year olds running around, but the EDM scene seems to be going strong so thumbs up to that.
God bless Spundae and the over 21 crowd. |

Monster Massive....!!! Aw man...! IT was a f'en CRAZY night!!! All 5 Dj's satisfied me...!! Especially Paul Van Dyk.. Man.. He proved to everyone EARLY this morning that he DOES deserved that number one spot....!! Yeah.. But I don't know... I wasn't really into the crowd much though... They were rude and everything... Especially when they were tryin to walk past by us.. They would just ram into us and everything..!! Not tryin to be a little "itch" and complain but... I don't know.. Just wasn't really feelin it... Yeah.. Almost got violated too from a gay dude... It was NOT COOL!!

Monster Massive was fun but not as great as I expected.
I had a million obstacles to getting there too.
I didn't end up finding any of my friends.
Memorable moments: Judge Jules dropping Mr. Brightside! Someone in the house arena playing The Doubledutch Bus Song (Dub)! (very old school)
Was it just me or did anyone else notice that there was an unusually high number of Asian ravers at MM? There wasn't even half as many proportionally at EDC.
Suprisingly there were a lot of 15-16 year olds there who were sober. MM had a lot of e-tards but it also had the largest gathering of teens who were sober than any other massive I have seen.
The trance area was ok but the house area turned out to be amazing.
So (I go to boarding school in Ojai) I left Ojai at 3PM took a bus to Ventura where I was going to take a greyhound bus at 4:45PM to get home in LA around 7PM. (My mother accompanied me since it was family weekend and she was returning home). Freaking 5PM bus never came. I had to wait until 7:30PM til the bus got there.
So I missed the TA meetup at 8:30PM. I didn't get to LA til 10:00PM. I missed the RaveLinks meetup at 10PM(I have like 3 very close RaveLinker friends who I wanted to meetup with).
So my mother decides she wants to go with me at the last minute. :confused: So we call a taxi and there is so much traffic. I have never seen so much traffic in LA before (that is saying something).
We get there and I get my ticket quickly from GrooveTickets will call. But we have to wait in line 20 minutes to buy my mom's ticket.
We had to wait in line like 20 minutes to get in to the Sports Arena around 11:30PM.
It was packed everywhere. I couldn't move around without nicely shoving people. The floor was packed from the front to the very back. I normally go for the front but it was so packed I didnt even try.
I missed Markuz cause of that stupid late bus.
I saw Armin and I thought he was decent but I definitely had expected much more from him.
Judge Jules rocked. I was so happy when he dropped Mr. Brightside. Earlier that day I had actually thought how amazing it would be to dance to Mr. Brightside at MM. (My wish came true).
However he poorly executed playing As the Rush Comes. I mean its an amazing song that should get everyone pumped but it was played in a random place.
Paul Van Dyk was good but I expected much more from him than just playing a few good tunes and then all homogenous hard trance. He played one really amazing song that he started out one of his best sets ever with (I think it was his ColumbiaHalle set).
Now the house area was were the party was at.
I don't know who was playing but they dropped the Doubledutch Bus Song (dub). It was amazing. I heard that someone played Sweet Dreams (Angello and Ingresso remix). Felix Da Housecat ruled!
It was amazing when he dropped world hold on!
It was fun but the talent that I went there for didn't turn out to be so great. But the house was worth it!
I danced by myself in the crowd the whole time walking around looking for my friends but I didn't end up finding anyone. So next time I should meetup with some TAs before the rave so I don't dance alone. (It was OK my mom was there. She was sitting in the seats the whole time and she ended up dancing to Paul Van Dyk's set a little [she doesn't really like trance all that much generally]
Summary: HOUSE RULED! [I love trance but the house artist performed much better]
Armin and PVD were not as good as expected or didn't play to their potential.
Judge Jules thumbs up except for when he played As the Rush Comes.
And I am only 17 so don't bag on all ages because otherwise you wouldn't get to party with me for a while. |

im guessing close to 20k. just a guess though. |
Just some quick facts I got from LA Memorial Sports Arena
- There are 12,389 fixed upper-level, theatre-type seats and arena-level seating which varies by sport.
- The floor area comprises a 144 by 262 foot space (38,000 sq.ft.), affording the largest standing floor capacity of any arena in the area.
We can just assume each person is occupying 2sq.ft. and add the other people in the hallways & the ramp.
You guys do the math.

GoVentures states the capacity of the entire venue as 20,000. |
That's what they would like the authorities to know to avoid getting shutdown due to fire code. If you're making a lot of moolah, f*&% the fire code.
All in all, I had a great time but what do you expect from the event that's open to all ages? And drugs do come with the territory and it's not only EDM that has this issue. Look at rock & rap. As long as everyone's having fun & not molesting others, I can handle it. |
