DEMF 2013

[concertgoer]

I had a blast at this fest in 2001 and 2003. Sometimes I wish that I still lived in Michigan.
Sometimes

[Aurgasm]

"Audio Archives: well over 1,000 sets from 2000 to now"

[guedita]

[Brochella]

40 fuckin dollars. god bless this festival

[redthreat]

any news on the boat party? or any rumors at all as to who is coming?

[Devin the Dude]

$40 makes it worth it pretty much by default. Wish I wasn't busy that weekend.

Busy banging the ladies? Thats every weekend for you....

[Devin the Dude]

I really wish you wouldn't post about my sex life or panda attire anymore. You are really starting to Suprecreep me out..

[Brochella]

What's the cheapest airline/website to get plane tickets to Detroit? I have to at least -try- to make it out to this.

[Antoinek91]

Wish the fest was still free like the first few years I went. Still definitely worth the 25 or so for a day pass or 40 for the weekend though. Ill be down at Hart Plaza this year again for sure. For non-Detroiters, hit up:

Bars:
-Northern Lights
-Old Miami
-Temple Bar

Restaurants:
-Slow's (Corktown)
-El Barzon (Corktown-ish)
-Lafayette Coney

I had the BEST time at Old Miami last year.. fucking incredible. As for food...you just need Sharkies gummi fruits and yer set!

jk.. so Slow's is bbq right?

[Aurgasm]

Purchased. Airfare is arranged too. This is getting real.

[heart cooks brain]

Yeah, slow's is bbq. Not really worth it in my opinion. It's so hyped, its impossible to get a table, and the food isn't THAT good.

Northern Lights is awesome. Best bathrooms ever.

I have to keep my eye on this thread. Now that the Sasquatch lineup definitely does not have my attention, I am keeping my eye on DEMF and LiB. I'd like in when it comes time to book rooms (some time in March, yes?). When can we expect to see a lineup and info on the after parties for this weekend in Detroit?

[HEADSTRUCK]

40 fuckin dollars. god bless this festival

Shit it used to be free and when they changed it I remember everyone complaining lol

[SoulDischarge]

I think it dropped early March last year. But you also just kind of have to have faith. Half the stuff you haven't heard of will be among your best sets of the weekend. Or you'll just end up at some weird ass warehouse party out of your mind and it'll make the weekend. If you can do it, I'd recommend it. I know travel is expensive, but everything else is so cheap it's worth the risk.

[chiapet]

Same here, Sasquatch lineup was meh, DEMF was my second choice. Still on the fence, but my excuses have been removed.

[guedita]

Do it! DO IT!

[Aurgasm]

That Sasquatch lineup is a joke.

Is anyone going to that?

[chiapet]

The only thing I'm waiting on now is more news about Roskilde, I don't think I can do Roskilde and DEMF (in addition to all the other festival & travel plans I have this summer). But realistically it's DEMF or I will do both because I'm irresponsible. :P


How much more expensive do the tickets get?

[HEADSTRUCK]

That Sasquatch lineup is a joke.

Is anyone going to that?

If I could go I would. I would have more to see than I do at Coachella.

[guedita]

That Sasquatch lineup is a joke.

Is anyone going to that?

No. I loved Sasquatch last year because the environment and people are great, but after seeing that lineup I have zero regrets about coming to DEMF instead.

There might be some crossover of acts, no? Bonobo DJ set? Gold Panda?

Thanks. I guess I was asking about lineup info just to get an idea of when it will be out - this isn't really lineup dependent for me like LiB is. The only reason LiB is higher on the list than demf is because of the location/travel costs. I should have a free roundtrip by then so the chances of attending look pretty good.

[Devin the Dude]

If you take the Bloody Mary stand out of LiB, I shall cry.

[Aurgasm]

Alright well... i'm looking at a 7pm direct flight from denver that gets me in at 12:25. I know there are pre parties...I'm thinking maybe just going straight to the hotel and either heading out for a few hours, or just crashing and having an epic Saturday. Either way...

I'm ready to pull the trigger with hotels. I'm ready to pull the trigger on air fare. And most importantly, I'm ready to fucking dance.

[chiapet]

This is starting to look do-able. The Hilton (Garden Inn) is fairly close, yes? I'm assuming you guys didn't have too much trouble getting cabs to/from the venue.

[guedita]

I'm also ready to pull the trigger on a hotel. SAY WHEN.

[Aurgasm]

Well... Lets fucking do it then.

Bring this convo to the FB group

[redthreat]

can't fucking wait any longer for the lineup. argh.

[unknown]

I will pass along any and all secrets. (nothing is certain yet, Memorial Day Weekend is completely up in the air)

Well... Lets fucking do it then.

Bring this convo to the FB group

I will see you there. Oh, Forza, you were in my dream right before I woke up. I never saw you but I did get K from this guy who got it all from you.
