Funny, that same reasoning led me to decide on Soundwave this year over Shambhala...

[Grapes]

Soundwave is such a free for all.. twas awesome.

Still considering both :)

I don't hear enough techno these days.

[Carrie]

might be at both pemberton and shambhala this year..

it's all up in the air still.

[mithridate]

WOOOOOO!!!
look for my booth in the market place! :)

which. btw, if anyone wants to sell stuff in my shop, i'd be more than willing to. we can work out a commission of some sort and you wouldnt have to pay for an entire shop! (or sit there..)


YAAA SHAMBLES! <3

[Erin]

Buying my ticket this weekend...!!

PENDULUM!!

[GSG9]

im sort of happy that its just paul harding or gareth mcgrillen playin a set cause normally they have sick track selections. i dont have much desire to see the band play.

I'm really looking forward to Shambhala this year. I'm bringing three virgins with me. Soundwave (last year) was fun, but I thought the music sucked compared to the music at Shambhala. Not nearly enough bass. :P

[GSG9]

virgins as in shambles virgins or sexual virgins?

[diva]

^Shambhala virgins

You couldn't drag me there. The infrastructure is always terribly underprepared, and there's way too many people there. Call me weird, but I tend to enjoy dancing at this kind of festival, and that act is now impossible at every stage. However, if I was going, here's who I'd love to see:
Bassnectar
Bonobo
Cheb i Sabbah
DJ Kev With Shamik
DJ Vadim w/ Deuce Eclipse and Yara Bravo
Drop The Lime
Filastine
Fort Knox Five vs Thunderball
Gang.a Giri
Mat the Alien
Skratch Bastid
The Glitch Mob
Zen Media

I can't believe Drop The Lime and Filastine are going. Drop The Lime is going to blow your fncking heads off, and Filastine is a man in line with DJ/rupture (also assured to kill you where you stand). Both of them are a million times more interesting than Pendulum and Ed Rush. Bonobo is a big one too. I'd make a special effort to check that out. I've already seen Gan.ga Giri, The Glitch Mob, Bassnectar, Mat The Alien, and Zen Media, but they're worth seeing over and over.

No, I merely wish to do more than pogo. You can't dance at Shambhala. Every stage is packed ass to balls. Great music, sure, but I'm not paying $150 to get bumped around for three days. Too many people; not enough toilet paper. C'est la vie. If you like it, good for you. Play safe and/or remember where the freak-out tent is.

That's where I'm going. I went last year and thought the music was pretty good (the main stage had the best sound, and the others do need to step it up). Although they can't compete with headliners, it's worth it to me for the vibe. There's a lot less people, way less sketchies, and you never have to look for room to bust a groove. Dr. Alex Patterson was life-changing for his chill set. I'm thankful for having witnessed a legend.

I always bust a move when I'm there. And I mean bust a move PLUS I like to be up front. :) I don't find that it's over packed at all. I like the fact that they cap how many people they let in.

[Carrie]

there are a couple things that I need to take care of before I finalize whether I am going this year.

I really hope I can go

[GSG9]
