Summer Breaks.....rant

the music was great. loved every minute of it.

wtf....gross portapotties and not enough of em!
WHAT the fuck was up with that god awuful security?!?! i could've killed them. they took a cooler full of water, fruit, and general sustenance and dumped it refusing to let us have any?! hello, you fucking dicks? what about people who don't have money for your 4 dollar water? or your 3 dollar bananna. did i shove heroin or acid in my fully sealed beverages or fruits? FUCK YOU! maybe be a little more thurogh next time because you missed the fucking bottle of rhum in my bag.
but really, that's enough swearing out of me. i was just really angry that that much was wasted when it was clearly marked and sealed and harmless. could save lives in the event one of my buddies had an overdose. but nono, please, you may ONLY buy our over priced shit, from our riddiculously over priced party.
and 60 bucks with-out the headliners?? i don't think i even have to say anything about that.
that was BULL.

the same thing would have happened at apex or any other party. everyone KNOWS you arent allowed to bring that shit in. its general policy. get over it.

fruit, muffins, fruit leather, kimchi and other things at consession were NOT over $2 a piece. coming from someone who worked for most of the night, IF you had of come up and explained your case to the person who was running the concession, you might have had a deal worked out. but instead its easier to fucking bitch and moan afterwards because you were in idiot.

you really are ignorant. food and water doesnt come into these events. period. how is sercurity and the people running the party supposed to know that it is "clearly sealed and harmless"? Security is there for the purpose of keeping you SAFE. If your buddy did overdose, that would be his own damn fault.

Wow, you just don't know when to remove your foot from your mouth, do you? Each stage was responsible for their own head liners. booking them, paying for their flights, hotels and each stage was responsible for making sure that their head liners were at the event.

So, before you go beaking off about how everything was so horrible, why don't you take a look back and realize that some of your "shitty night" was your own fault and could have been prevented.

i really just wanted to know if anybody honestly experienced the same things i did last night. like i said the music was great. i really enjoyed it. but that was all. i was extremely unimpressed with the over-all running of things. for that much money i don't see why there were these types of problems.

Well let's see...

I bought:

1x ticket to see headliners that didn't come = $35
4x energy drinks (from 7-11) that were taken away by the security = $18
3x waterbottles (at the concession) = $10
1x hamburger (at the concession) = $7
1x $20 bill stolen from my backpack = $20
1x punch in the face by a drunk asshole for no reason = headache this morning which required a $5.99 purchase of Tylenol

Total = $95.99


Conclusion: According to my calculations, I had spent $95.99 for a poorly organized event that treated its people and DJs like crap.

So to answer your question fully - YES, I experienced the same types of feelings like you. Even worse at times.

I dont understand why people bring things like outside food and water to these types of shows, and then throw a big fit when they arent allowed in with them.

Didn't you just post all of this in the other thread? *rolls eyes*
Portapotties do get gross, really fuckin gross, but that has nothing to do with the promoters.
And you're whining like a baby about the security why? Oh, I know.. because they did their job and did it very well. Are you allowed to bring that kinda stuff into an indoor party? No, so why should an outdoor one be all that much different.

You're right, and you'd think they'd have learned by now.. but both sides have a legit arguement.

The promoter has to make money, and they have to make sure no illegal substances are brought in (acid in juiceboxes, etc). But they jack up the prices and not a lot of people can afford that.. especially if they weren't planning on going and decided last minute.. $60 for a ticket doesn't leave much room for enough $4 water bottles to last you the night. And if you're hungry.. $7 for a single hamburger is brutal, since that's almost a full meal anywhere else.

Point is, both sides have a point, but there's never going to be a solid solution that both sides can agree on.

edit: for allison.

Did you also have a great time washing your feet with the waterbottle that I bought which the security confiscated from me? ;)

apri_peel has a little shameless behaviour in the past
actually, silverwaters worked with individual stages to book and pay for headliners, meaning silverwaters had to pay for a portion of the booking fees, which they refused to do in a few occasions (the story of speed reid and lange)

portapotties could have been a bit better if there were more of them. reason for no line up was because of how disgusting they were.

silverwaters and individual stages failed to let people know that headliners will be a no show and still have the nerve to charge people $60 at the door. this was all known on wednesday already, would have been nice to let the people know.

i had a granola bar taken away at the door, no biggie, it was 50/50 chance of keeping it. they let me in with a couple to apex.

concessions were ok'ish. prices as at all the usual raves, more food too. the interesting thing was that an energy drink was $5 at the main concessions but $4 at the shark table next to it

the only thing that made up for all the little inconveniences plus the missing headliners, was the music. the sound quality was also excellent, which made the great tunes sound even better

when it comes down to bringing outside food and such inside a venue.... its a no brainer that it will get thrown out. Has always been like that for years. Kinda chuckled watching these kids bring 12 pack flats of water waiting in line... newb's.... btw thanks for the water who ever had that..
