Sander Kleinenberg at the Avalon was awesome. I was a little too drunk to be working my camera properly but I managed to get a few photos:

Patsfan passed out after a night at work

That is soo cute! I'm always the one to pass out on the floor, I feel you Bobby

HOLY SHIT! Wow

[crazzz2007]

TAO truly was on the epic scale

Remember at the main stage, when they were about to reach midnight, then remember those clips of Obama that they played, remember when Obama said "tonight is your night" up on the megascreen? THAT was amazing

that does not sound amazing in any way whatsoever.

[crazzz2007]

DnB stage was so fun! it was insane but i just thought it was weird how they had so many people moshing.

cause they don't know how to dance.

How was M.A.N.D.Y.?

[Sonicifyouwantit]

So...

Giant Maximus was a very unorganized cash grab. As I know many promoters in LA as well as the people at Giant.. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Just a few things:

the 'electric carnival' was nothing more than just one terribly lit ferris wheel that broke a couple hours after the event opened up. nothing else at the event was close to being glowing or electric.

shots came in plastic cups the size of a cough syrup cap and were 10 dollars each

4 total bathrooms for each sex, from my estimates that's one bathroom per 1,750 people. the four lines were 30mins to an hour long wait. when i was in the main tent, an asian girl literally just pissed in the middle of the tent. People were peeing in bottles and throwing them.


.. but other than that, moby and benny were pretty good. i just think it's a joke what a cash grab all these events have become. HARD and GIANT both over charge, over sell to dangerous capacities just to have as much money come in. But this year, the event was barely half full, if that. People were angry and this might just burn Giant in the long run. I can only hope.

I despise giant maximus...it seems to have gotten worse each year. One year was enough for me to turn my back on them forever. One thing going for hard is that they book well...and hard 13 is only $30 and I don't think they will sell 10,000 tickets to it like they did for haunted mansion.

Definitely agree.

i had fun at TAO, thankfully we got in quickly. props to ally for giving us the bat route and for randy and i being smart enough to just bang a u-ey (how do you even spell that?!) on a side street and not wait in the giant line to the parking lot.

the dnb stage setup was awesome. i loved that there was grass and sleepy hallowesque trees, but also cement areas where you could actually dance. the fog was a nice touch. i forgot how much i like marcus intalex, but how much he really belongs at the end of an evening or as an opener, it's just too downtempo for me. i kept wanting to dance and had trouble since it's in that weird not slow enough, but not fast enough range. good set, just not quite danceable enough for me though and i was really itching to dance.

pendulum (el hornet) on the other hand was just awful. thankfully it was more danceable, but it's so strange how dnb has progressed to this. i guess it's good that it's become so big, but i wish that someone else would have been in the headliner spot.

armin sucked balls and i couldn't believe how cliche it was to play that "new years day" song by U2 at midnight. fucking lame. being in the crowd in the arena at midnight was beautiful though, we ended up heading over at the last minute since i thought the fireworks were in there (sounds insane, but they were in 03). i couldn't believe the number of people. i'm glad to see that our scene has grown so large. in 2003, i remember being able to walk around in the arena on the floor, but i couldn't have imagined that this year.

i am finding it's harder for me to deal with random e-tards and such as i get older. i absolutely hate the guys that think that just because you're dancing, you must want to dance WITH them. all the people trying to get rid of their cigs in line before they threw them away was funny too. everyone around me was like "WANT A CIGARETTE, WANT A CIGARETTE", NO!!!!!!!!!!

all-in-all, great time and glad to see all the people i saw. i just wish i hadn't killed one of my toes dancing, lol.

I understand what you're saying about Marcus Intalex but I always giggle when people talk about down tempo D&B. Speaking from purely a Beats Per Minute standpoint the style of music he plays is just as fast as the other sub genres of Drum & Bass. The thing that I enjoy is that it's more groovy. A lot of people who like Drum & Bass are drawn more to the aggressive, hit you over the head style.

I didn't watch any of El Hornet spin. I really can't stand that "clown-step/jump up/arena anthem" style of Drum & Bass he plays.

[chairmenmeow47]

hey, i never claim to be a dj or know specifics about how tracks are made, i just know what's fun to dance to and what's not. unfortunately for me, the slower sounding stuff is not. pendulum is too over the top, i like something inbetween.

[All Your Base]

From the reviews here and the pictures of that madhouse, I think I'm glad I stayed home NYE. Glad those that went had a good time though.

Now Bassnectar a few nights before...THAT was right up my ally. From strictly a musical perspective, I haven't been that tantalized in quite a while.

[Donaldj]

Hehe, I know I'm just teasing you. Most of the DJs at these massives all play "Jump Up" Drum & Bass. The name is retarded, and at one point it was considered derogatory, but the name fits because most people just want to jump around to Drum & Bass. This style is without a doubt my least favorite to dance too or hear but ironically what I hear the most at these things.

I guess as an example I really like dancing to minimal techno at a party but I can't really listen to it for very long outside of that setting .

[chairmenmeow47]

i totally understand. i enjoy more downtempo sounding or melodic dnb i guess you'd call if i'm just sitting around listening. but i like something that gets me bouncy at a show

[Westy]

armin sucked balls and i couldn't believe how cliche it was to play that "new years day" song by U2 at midnight. fucking lame.

Pendulum played "new years day" as well.

It took me over 1/2 hour to get in with a VIP ticket. There was only a couple of hundred people in line, but it just wasn't moving.

Anyway, didn't get in there 'til about 11:30; grabbed a drink and headed over to the DnB stage. I thought Pendulum was pretty good. Drink. Saw some of Deadmau5's set. Drink.

I was in a bad mood for some reason, so it's probably good I didn't run into you guys. I don't want to bring anyone down on NYE.

[chairmenmeow47]

yeah, i was pretty tired myself. i woke up at like 4am on NYE, lame.

missed deadmau5, but saw him walk in and take pics with people.

[Donaldj]

I liked Deadmau5. Mark didn't. We were in the house tent for awhile during Junior Sanchez. He was great!

[Mr. Dylanja]

THAT was right up my ally.

That's what Ally said.

[All Your Base]

That's what Ally said.

So much joy in this thread.
