So Skrillex got moved to the Shaw Conference Centre....thoughts you Edmonton folk? That sounds like an indoor venue right? That makes me a sad panda. Definitely pretty shitty. At least it is downtown.

It's not posted on the SCC website or the official site yet. It's indoor. I mean, if my in depth Edmonton geography serves me correctly, if there is a backside/outdoor area to the center, it would be in the river, I think. It's official. The concert promoters tweeted it out this morning, and I just checked Ticketmaster and the location says the Conference Centre. Better location, but sucks that it's indoors. Oh well, we are still going to have a great fucking time. Better bring ear plugs now.

That is the most ambiguous piece of bullshit I've ever read. He never answers the question, he just says vague motivational things throughout the essay. That makes me think that he really does just press play, because that whole thing reeks of bullshit.

That makes me think that he really does just press play, because that whole thing reeks of bullshit. If you read in the comments, he said this reply was for the average joe. But he is working on a reply for the technical side of things as well. I've seen him 5 times and every single time has been completely different. He definitely doesn't press play and sit back that's for sure.

Yeah I read that a while ago. It's kind of dumbed down and he's being very PC so he doesn't involve himself with some of the drama going on. But there is a lot of truth mixed in with his ambiguity. There's a million different types of DJ's out there and he just scratched the surface.

Let me know how Diplo is. He's playing an afterparty at Block Party this weekend, but Major Lazer is headlining anyway so I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth it to try and get into that afterward. I'm quite certain he'll tear it up, but if it's going to basically be a Major Lazer 2.0 set then I won't waste my time.

DO BOTH!
I've seen them both...and while there are some similarities and some crossover, they are pretty different shows. Major Lazer is more about the party with the hype man and the gimmicks and all that, while Diplo solo just plugs in and wrecks it.

I'm actually really happy with those set times. I'm really excited for this! I think my plan is to be there around 6. Preferably before then just to be safe. We should all meet for drinks and food before!!

All I care about is Grimes. I need to see Grimes. Drinks, food, hugs, drugs, vag mash, I'm down for it all as long as I get there in time to see Grimes.
Has anyone heard anything about re-entry?

I would love a report on Grimes' performance as well if someone would be so kind. I'll be seeing her this weekend also.

Might be a stretch for us to make it up from Calgary, check into our hotel and then get into the venue for the start of Grimes...but we will try.
