It's a little late to backpedal after the 'leveling the playing field' comment. obviously a joke. I thought this was the internet?

Hey girls use the distraction method to get where they want...I'm just leveling the playing field. Anyway I'm pretty sure you don't really do that. If you did you'd have already gotten your ass kicked so soundly you'd be afraid to come back to the Gorge. ya no, I was just stating a way one could get close to the stage. I am very considerate with my lights. I was adding to the comment that I quoted about them letting someone with glowsticks through. I do walk through the crowd with my orbit, but not trying to push to the front and not in a way that I would put anyone in danger. I have complete control of my lights and I can easily weave through the crowd with it safely. And if I were to hit someone (even though, it would probably be their fault) I would be the first to stop and apologize profusely.

'm just leveling the playing field. Yes. You are leveling it with your fucking light mase. Idiot. Who would volunteer the info that they are a festival asshole who not only doesn't care to get to a set early and claim a spot but is going to batter you in the head 5 seconds before the show starts to get there. Cool guy. Ya that was not really a serious statement there buddy. I have never hit anyone with my orbit, nor have I forced my way up to the stage with it. I don't really like to be up front, I prefer to be the "festival asshole" that is in the back helping people enjoy their night a little bit more with a quality light show.

Man Beats Antique is EVERYWHERE this festival season. They are local to the Pacific Northwest, and have been getting national exposure lately so everyone is booking them around here. They are one of those bands that sells tickets, but does not cost a lot to book. Lucky for us because they put on a good show!

You could probably get it going without a lot of out of pocket expense. You just need to get everything booked and promoted, then you pay for everything from ticket sales. venue is probably the only thing you have to pay in advance for. artists, sound, security, and porta potties can be paid from your ticket sales. Vendors will pay you to be there. You just need good artists to commit to being somewhere at a specific time for a specific amount of money, and then "If you build it, they will come." An event like this would cost a lot, but it would make more. Also once you have major artist commitments, you would be surprised how many people will throw money at you to make it happen. Its an excessive amount of work to organize something like this, but I think if someone were willing to do the work...finding the money would not really be the biggest issue.

They will ALWAYS clear room for someone with a handful of glowsticks. I walk through the crowd swinging my orbit around and people tend to clear a path. Nobody wants to get hit by lights, and most are just distracted enough by them to not notice that I'm sneaking past them.

I read that exact same story last year and it turned out to be fake. How the hell did it end up on Yahoo? It was probably never fake, just got covered up well the first time it leaked.

You going to see The Wall in Portland next week dude? I wish! All my funds are going toward Sasquatch right now, I cant pull it off. And yes I meant Crystal Method, I always mix up those names...I only watched them for like 5 minutes tho...not really my style obviously since I mixed them up. Plus some guy sold me some research chemical disguised as acid, so I was in a weird place when they were playing.

ID fest was last summer, right? Who did you go to see and what were your favorite sets? When I lived at my last apartment, my roommate and I toyed with the idea of getting two fish and naming them beebop and rocksteady. It was earlier this year. I went for the whole lineup really, it was stacked. I saw pretty lights, kaskade, rusko, nero, chemical brothers, booka shade. It was only one day so the sets were kinda packed in and I couldnt catch full sets of everyone but my favorite sets were Kaskade, Pretty Lights, and Nero. Rusko actually really surprised me too, he is a rock star for sure!

If anyone has not seen Pretty Lights yet, your in for a treat! I have seen him 4 times and each show was amazing! Also Nero and Wolfgang gartner are amazing live! These are my three favorite EDM acts currently touring, Im so stoked to see them all in one place! Other than people that will be at Squatch tho....Adventure Club has had me pretty stoked lately, they are on Soundcloud with free downloads. Also Pretty Lights gives away all his music for free on prettylightsmusic.com if anyone wants to check him out. He also has albums from a bunch of producers on his label for free...alot of dope music!

If I got you all the way there and didn't receive any 'bonuses', I'd know you didn't like me and then you'd be on your own when it came to getting back. I already dont like you.
