weren't there a bunch of blackouts all throughout SF on that saturday afternoon anyways?
even if Tiesto's much-better-than-last-July's set ended an hour early, it was actually a pretty good night (overlooking the jailbait). and yea, Markus' set was good, better than i was expecting actually. and this is probably just me, but Ferry's set was totally kickin. I was seriously gettin tired of the L.E.F. sound so it was nice to hear more melodic stuff from him... but man.. that power outage happened right at my peak then totally flacid after that.. :o
those cops were srsly on riotbreaker mode... i mean come on.. was the aggressive motorcycle barrier really necessary? |

I'm almost starting to wish I went.
I don't recall haveing heard a consistently solid set from Schulz in about three years (with the exception to the first disc of Ibiza '06).
As for the t/l, I'm pretty sure Foresaken worked its way into it at some point. :D |

| This was my first official rave and I had a great time. Cool people, great music, amazing atmosphere. Is there a Pics thread or a site i can go to to check out pics and videos or share some of my own. |

I heard that PG&E had a grid completely fail. No, it wasn't some DEA covert operation. The outage affected parts of Daly City including several blocks around Cow Palace. This was early Sunday morning I heard it. I haven't really looked around to see if there's a more official word...just saying what I heard. |
yea, i didnt mean to speculate about some DEA crackdown... but Tiesto even offer some apologies, even tough is not his fault... no apologies needed, but some official statement would be a nice thing for Skills to do... |

mobius, you realize that the Cow Palace isn't in SF, right? It's in Daly City. Daly City PD has a completely different mindset than the SFPD on how to deal with things.
Their crackdowns during shows at the COW Palace are a bit historical. I think cracking down is good, but the methods they use are rediculous and it's intimidating, even if you are completely sober. I heard from a couple people that they had dogs sniffing people as they were leaving. There were undercovers dressed up going through the crowd just filming everything. Things like that.
That leaves a bad taste in people's mouths. And it's the biggest complaint I have always heard in the past when it comes to people having bad memories abotu the place.
Anyhow, I have never, ever seen SFPD even remotely do anything like this....SFPD is usually very lax at events like this. |
Thank you for clarifying that Dave, I had no idea. I'll edit the post to change that. |

wow, first bad report I've heard on Markus' set... in fact, most peeps I know won't shut up about how good it was compared to the others...I missed it though. I arrived late and waited in line forever to grab my pass.
To each his own... acutally makes me feel a little bit better know that at least someone wasn't into his set after I missed it lol |
well like i said, i caught about 30 minutes so im not sure how the rest of the set went but it didnt keep my attention. Hyper wasn't all the great either but it was more enjoyable than Schulz. Lee Combs was sick and I enjoyed Icey's power mixing :crazy: Stanton Warriors started off good (Chemical Brothers & Digitalism tracks right from the start!) but then it felt like it was dragging on... so we went back to the main room for Tiesto who was banging it out!
Also it wasnt Skills/Cow Palace/DCPD fault for the power outage. I thought it could of been Cow Palace at first but when we got out, I notice the whole nieghborhood behind Cow Palace completely out as well :(
Also Blurr, that was a funny text!
Blurr: I accidentally went into the happy hardcore room
me: Isn't that your BPM?

stfu, holy , they did an amazing job, stop complaining like a little bitch. Do you really think they really had control over the power going out for a whole section of the city. at least it was only 1 hour missed.
next time don't come if you can only complain
|
WTF?! I paid $70 just like everyone else. I have the right to bitch if I please. Its my own opinion, and if you don't agree with it, too ing bad. Next time don't read my posts.
And just to clarify... Never did I once mention that Skills did a bad job with the event. Read my post again, I was having a lot of fun prior to the power going out because of the party Skills had put on. I was just highly disappointed that the night ended early. Get your facts straight before you come at me like that. |

| still a great night regardless of power outage or not.....Tiesto was owning people, even people i know who dont like Tiesto said they loved it....ferry brought it, Markus not so much, but to me thats typical of him not being the headliner.....he leaves it for them!! |
