So yeah, I met this guy at MWEMF who went to Gaian Mind Festival too and HE WAS ALSO SICK WITH THE SAME THING THAT I HAVE! (as of yesterday morning I was still sick. I was fine for the rest of yesterday but the sickness is touch and go). We narrowed the sickness down to coming from the coffee shop because their sanitation practices weren't the best. You had to wash your own cup. There were soap, water and sanitation sections of a sink but we had no idea how often they changed the water or if it was done properly. I need to contact the GMF people and tell them how many people I've met from different states who got sick. It sucks because it's a lawsuit waiting to happen and if I were a grubby, greedy, money hungry bitch I'd sue, but I loved what happened at the party and I just don't want it to happen to people again next year. I just want the venue to be aware of the epidemic and I pray no one else who attended the party and got sick sues...
As for MEMF, it's been deemed Midwest Electronic Music FAIL. That party was HORRIBLE! I have no faith in the rave scene in the Midwest anymore after this. The psy scene is coming up, it's very progressive and is so much more promising. The psytrance party I went to in PN was packed with people whereas this party, which was promoted as being huge, did NOT have a good turn out. When I go to psytrance parties, everyone is dancing. When I go to Midwest raves, everyone is standing or sitting around in a fucked up, apathetic state. Plus, the production company dicked over their DJ's so a lot of DJ's just went home and didn't spin at all. It was really, really sad. It made me wish that the Midwest rave scene would just get it over with and die so that new, more progressive electronic music scenes could come forward. Even though I hate hipsters and I hate hipster parties but at least those kids are into their scene and dance to their music.
It makes me really sad to finally admit that I really don't enjoy going to non psytrance parties anymore. I just get so disgusted with the people at the parties, I don't really enjoy drum and bass (which is all they play at Midwest parties sometimes) and a lot of times, DJ's don't even spin any new tracks. We're listening to the same crap we were listening to 4 years ago! There's no progress being made because everyone is trying to party like it's still 1999 instead of pushing things forward. This party was just another nail in the coffin of the dead Midwest scene.
I'm really not even interested in going to non psy parties anymore. But Gio still really enjoys non psy raves though and he's not a big fan of psytrance, so convincing him to go to psy events with me is going to be really tough. He thinks psytrance people are weird, even though he's never been to a big psytrance party. I'm hoping I can meet some psytrance people up here that will take me to parties so I don't have to drag Gio's whining, bitching ass along with me. lol. I mean, I can see where he's coming from because American full on psytrance SUCKS, but the more the scene grows, the more the DJ's will learn about throwing down like the overseas DJ's.
I'm not going to waste time talking about MWEMF today. I'd rather finish my story about Gaian Mind Festival.
GMF2008 Part III( Read more... )
I'll stop there. Damn, this party was so epic. I always think I'm gonna finish the story with each new entry about it but so much happened that it usually takes pages to even talk about a half day! lol. I don't think I've ever told a party story that was THIS long. LOL.
Anyway, I gotta look for temp agencies so I can make SOME money while I'm looking for a job. I only have about a month's worth of money left ^^ This is BAD. I can't wait around for a job. I have to find some way to make money and if that means temping it like a bitch, that's what I'm going to do...
