DEMF 2013

[chiapet]

My 1 goal is to not get kicked out of Shit Show this year.

LOL. I'm still baffled about that. You guys just got unlucky.

I would have slept the entire day if you guys hadn't come back to the hotel though!

[SoulDischarge]

The entire point of old miami is being there when it opens.

Yeah, but, if I can get like a 2 hour nap between Sunday afterparty and Old Miami, I might actually stay long enough to see some of the bigger names that play there instead of laying half dead in the grass and then ditching before noon.

Acceptable. My goal this year is not to let my brothers derail me into an after party-less Saturday.

Shit Show being at 6AM on Sunday kind of fucked up my Saturday night after party plans last year.

I have some choice words for a certain Mr. Bell about making me indulge in some very grueling decisions (not saying it wasn't worth it though).

Regarding these AirBNB posts, let me just reiterate again that you don't want to stay in the suburbs, nor miles from the festival site. There will be a lot of traffic, you do not want to drive drunk/fucked up, you do not want to be driving around lost, and you are going to have a tough time getting shuttles/cabs from those areas if you decide not to drive.

I stayed in Dearborn in 2010 and it was just awful. I nearly skipped Monday because I just didn't want to deal with getting down there. Had to rely on weirdo candy ravers that forza found online for rides. It's also an amazing feeling being able to walk back to your hotel for a mid-day shower. I missed Greg Wilson and the very beginning of Terje's set for that in 2012 but it was totally worth it because I probably would have been useless the rest of the day without it.

Wait, was the Leland at the same location as City Club? (400 Bagley)? That venue was definitely still open last year. That's where the dirtybird party was.

City Club is definitely open, my friend that I'm staying with posts about going there on FB all the time. I'm just not sure what the deal is with the hotel part. Some of it is definitely no man's land.

My 1 goal is to not get kicked out of Shit Show this year.

It's a shame there isn't a better story to go along with getting kicked out of a party that has KHOLE signs everywhere.

So A Tribe Called Red is fucking neato:

They're invited to my bubble bath after party.

Also, that Echologist album is certified dope jams. Kind of samey across the whole record but it's such an engrossing sound, I don't really mind.

Pretty much anything that Morgan recommends, I am willing to put on my schedule without even bothering to do research.

[SoulDischarge]

Ha yeah. Kid has excellent taste. Is he coming this year?

[chiapet]

He is! We'll have a huge crew this year, I think, for a few reasons.

[SoulDischarge]

Yeah, I figured it'd be most everyone from last year (because one you go DEMF, etc) plus a few more add ons. Everyone I've tried to convince to go is bitching out though. One kid is going to EDC Chicago, but he's not really into adult rave time yet anyway so he's better off there. Someone I know online was going to come, and it's 100% his scene, until I told him I was staying with another guy and all of the sudden he's not going because of "several reasons" and "finances," and instead is thinking about going to WMC. And people spending their money to do all sorts of other boring ass shit or not being convinced that it actually is as amazing as we all know it is. Which is fine, it's not like I'm lacking in people do grind with all weekend.

[Natelevmofuggaz]

Didnt sell out last year but it seemed full capacity at night.

Sweet. Let's hope it doesn't sell out this year as well.

What the hell, Nate? Why isn't Josef Gaard booked for an after party?

I would love for that to happen. Fingers crossed.

[Natelevmofuggaz]

This is good news. We had a blast dancing at Andy Stott together the other weekend. I love that kid.

My suggestions.

If we do an airbnb its gonna be downtown.

[grannock]

Found a bi-level 400$ per night condo downtown. Im booking it.

[Neighborhood Creep]

I'm going to be attending this. Not sure on our housing arrangements yet but if anyone wants 3 nice fellas with Midwestern charm to stay and pay their share in rent, let me know.

[grannock]

I think our capacity is already maxed but ill let everyone know when it is set in stone.

There are some other nice lookin places unrented downtown is people are interested.

[Neighborhood Creep]

One of the people that is coming with is the brother of my friend that is working the event. I guess I am not sure if staying at his place is an option yet.

This means that they will constantly be shoving delicious beer in your hand and sayin' shit with a Wiscaaaaaaaaahnsin twang.

[stinkbutt]

and doing all their drugs the first night

[getbetter]

and doing all their drugs the first night

Hahahahhahaha



I hope Alex Smoke gets added to this.I dont know what the hell he has been doing lately but that would be a great add imo.

[Aurgasm]

My advice- go to Interface Sunday night (lineup is insane) skip the k holes and hot crotched bj house at old Miami, get destroyed Monday night.wake up, get BBQ, homies chill hour at old Miami on Tuesday

[grannock]

No way im skiping old miami, that was one of my highlights last year. Im also strongly considering the boat party because i need somewhere to dance that wont be 5000 degrees.

[chiapet]

Fuck skipping Old Miami. Getting there when they opened was perfect. We laid in the grass drinking Ghetto Blasters, eating breakfast, talking about what we'd seen so far that weekend, while listening to old Motown records. When we first got there, it was SF homies everywhere. Couldn't have been a more perfect morning. Once the place starts getting packed and it starts getting hot, can always split for the festival (I went back to the hotel and slept for a few hours and felt great).

The Need I Say More lineups don't necessarily hold a lot of appeal for me this year but that place is perfect in the morning.

I remember it being pretty steamy on the boat, but at least you can get into the fresh air for a bit when you want.

[guedita]

Old Miami on Monday is tradition. TRADITION.

[nick5745]

John Talabot tour dates makes him look likely for the 27th

25/5 -Sasquatch Festival
26/5 - Chicago - Lincoln Hall
28/05 - New York - Music Hall of Williamsburg
29/05 - Miami - Bardot Miami
30/05 - Los Angeles - Echoplex
31/05 - Toronto - The Hoxton
01/06 - Montreal - Mutek Festival

So Movement just announced that they're doing a Disclosure show in Detroit on April 12. Do you guys think that this makes it more likely or less likely that they'll be at actual Movement? Do acts that play events with Movement in the name in previous years typically play the actual festival or not? I know Disclosure is probably a long shot because they're playing a daytime Primavera and then a daytime London festival on the Saturday, then they're playing Sadquatch at some point too, but I'm really hoping. Would be so sweet if they hit movement on the way to Sasquatch but that's a pretty packed schedule. So many good festivals around the world that weekend!

[grannock]

Sounds like they will be in detroit...

1 month before the festival.

[grannock]

I remember it being pretty steamy on the boat, but at least you can get into the fresh air for a bit when you want.

So if the boat is also hot, can we throw our own afterparty with air conditioner headlining?

[SoulDischarge]

Techno is not about staying cool.
