Going to be near freezing tonight, 33 degrees. Tomorrow will only be 40 at night. That's October/november night weather lol
Make sure yall bring layers if you are going tonight, going to be 15-20 mph winds so may feel below freezing. |

Music was absolutely outstanding and production was just as good if not better than last year.
However, the crowd left something to be desired. It seems like the secret got to the type of people I try to avoid at these things. People seizing all over the place, a couple of fights, destruction of art and property...just generally not the vibe that made last year special. It probably didn't help that they gave away hundreds of tickets just to get people there.
Highlights for me:
Guti
Paco
Kink
Super Flu
Lee Burridge
Bob Moses
Ryan Elliot
Bart Skills
And really i didn't hear a bad set all three days besides the 30 seconds or so it took me to walk past the boat. Hawtin and Plex both pleasantly suprised me and Empire of the Sun was cool to see live.
The stupid "silent disco" after party sucked compared to the real party Bang On threw last year with one day of planning.
Also the "Birdie Bucks" system was outrageously priced $20 got you 9BB as opposed to $10 getting you 9BB last year and obviously everything was noticeably more expensive. And sorry paying $5.55 for a cold shower is for the birds. |

This year was fun but no where near as good as last year. organizationally it was better i felt with many more vendors to keep lines short and moving as best as possible. honestly, the music this year was ok. there were some outstanding sets as mentioned above like:
lee burridge
bart skills
agoria
paul ritch
maceo plex
and i thought Ida was ok
honestly drumcode other than ritch and capriati dont do it for me. i really cant stand beyer and his sound and he bored me to death so overall the music last year in my opinion blew away this year. production overall was solid and sound was very crisp and clean.
for the camping i was pretty pissed initialy because we arrived at 1045 in the lines to get in and were easily one of the first few hundred in and they were literally putting tents and people on top of one another. there was no way they were going to fill all the camping area and myself and our 2 friends were literally crammed into the end of a row. i was furious initially but got over it since we had prime location to the plaza central.
i agree i saw more substance abuse issues than i did last year considering i didnt see one problem last year. this year some girl was naked with EMTs around her. no idea what she was on. didnt see a fight thankfully.
the birdie buck exchange was pretty bs. i dont know where you showered but mine was only 2.5 birdie bucks.
not sure im heading back next year. enjoyed the first two but the lineup next year will really have to WOW me to buy a ticket once its released. thinking about doing my first Movement instead now. |

while i didnt personally see this, this is ALL you heard from people driving in during the day and over the weekend. we arrived the night before and got a hotel and were one of the first probabaly 200 in line so thankfully we avoided all that bull. |
