I don't think I've ever heard someone say that a GWAR album has changed their life, but they continue to draw thousands of fans to their shows year after year because it's such an over-the-top performance that is entertaining as fuck. In that same sense deadmau5 is accomplishing the exact same thing, and I'm sure he'll be the first one to admit that it's a gimmick...and a great one at that. Tiesto may still be the biggest EDM producer on earth but I guarantee you if you put a picture his face next to a picture of a deadmau5 head a lot more people will recognize the latter. I'll sure as hell keep seeing him every chance I get because there is absolutely no way I won't have a great time seeing him.

Mmm. Ghosts 'n' Stuff. Pound for pound, that was the best ten minutes of Sasquatch '10.

Yeah pretty much. I conspired for weeks to be as absolutely wild-eyed as possible by the time he took the stage. IT WORKED.

Was there anyone sober at deadmau5's set last year? Cause both times I have seen him, my brain was on hyperdrive. His live shows are full of "dude........best day ever!" moments.

I was. I'll give it to the guy, it was a nice way to cap off that day. After seeing the string of Broken Social Scene/National/Vampire Weekend/My Morning Jacket I was in a good enough mood, and the lights were cool.
He doesn't really do much for me musically, but I like him for the same reason I like fireworks on 4th of July.

If somebody was sober during his set then I would recommend asking them for recaps of the night because 99% of the people were just like you I imagine.

Was sober during set, my report: The same thing as you experienced, just not as fun.

I appreciate it, good sir (I have no idea what "reindeer games" means, but it sounds fun, I would join in them).
Unfortunately, my desire to get in the fest early, not being able to afford the alcohol in the festival, and being paranoid since I was kicked out for sneaking stuff in in '09, soberness was my only choice.

Reindeer games is just a turn of phrase for join in on the fun! Although, soberness should never be a persons only choice. But as long as you had fun thats all that matters in the end.

What did you sneak in that got you kicked out?

Very true. And embarassingly, in honor of the Red Wine Boys (Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin), I brought in some red wine and little ol' 3-months-from-being-21 me got caught with it and kicked out. Fortunately it was the last day. Granted, I was of age this past year, so I really had no reason to be that worried, but I didn't feel like wearing a bookbag and sneaking things in. Just carrying stuff in pockets.

Red Wine Boys were one of the best parts of '09.

Can we all just take a second to appreciate the sea of undead zombies that marched from the bigfoot stage back to the campground after the mau5 set? That was one of the weirdest, most surreal moments of my life.
