Who's down to avoid the cluster and get limo service? |
i think official after parties info will be released later, but unofficial after parties some of them gets released at the end of the event.
No dice on the limo. Would just grab a cab and bail when the traffic gets bad around the arena. There are constructions on a lot of the streets so when it gets crowded it can get pretty slow. |

can anyhow help out with my original question? la isn't nyc so i don't expect the same type of cab service but would like to have a heads up on what to expect...other than it'll cost me a lot. |
I tried taking a cab from the Sports Arena/Coliseum a coupla years back, and saw maybe 4 cabs come by in 15 minutes while thousands of people were leaving. I'd recommend taking the number of a few local taxi companies. Then your odds will be better since there will be 5 or 6 cabs instead of only 4.
Seriously though, this worked for me once after Nocturnal Wonderland. Although the taxi company said it was pretty much impossible to find anyone with so many people around, when one came by I got priority since I had already called for one.
I would say that 99.98% of the crowd going to EDC drives though, or maybe walks over from USC...
...also, this is NOT a good area to be walking around at night, especially if you are alone. If necessary, find a big group of people and stay with them...that's what the security will yell at you on the way out too! :eek: |

I tried to take a cab during MM in 09. Was not a fun experience.
If you leave 1hr before the end, your chance of getting a cab is pretty good. There will be TONS of cabs circling the event. But there is no official cab stop.
I also recommend you to walk a little away from the convention, north perhaps to flag a cab. |

| Why doesn't the promoter make a cab stop? The police were stopping cabs at POP and saying "Bring every cab you have between 1-3am!" |

| Btw, all the cabs that I have been on does not run on meters at these events. They just 'gives you' a price. So don't be surprised if the meter isn't runnin when you hop on. |

| Another silly question: Are there accessible wall outlets throughout the coliseum? I don't think my phone will be able to sustain one charge each day :rolleyes:. |

There are a lot actually, especially if you are VIP.
They are inside the tunnels of the coliseum. Also make sure to smuggle the cable in, they might not "let" you go in with the cable.
On the base of the coliseum floor there might be some, or you can just give a vendor like 20 bucks to use one of their outlets. So be considerate and bring a splitter so you are not taking 1 on their outlets, and just like anything offer them some money for them doing you that favor... |

Don't bother, you won't be able to make phone calls or send texts because the signal will be jammed. Just turn off your phone till after EDC when everyone scatters |

I didn't have problems with txts using Verizon in 2008 or Sprint in 2009. |
