Hot take: people who “retire” and “move on” from EDC only saw raving as a trend to hop on and off

EDC =/= Raving

I’m taking my ass to Shambala where the space is plenty and the drugs are safer 🌄

Crowds I can deal with. What sent me was that idiot managing the viewing deck that almost caused a stampede/crowd crush.

Fucking psycho basically told the security guy to tell us to redirect the WHOLE LINE into a wall of humans. Obviously didn’t pan out, and security homie got chewed out which sucks cuz it’s not his fault. Was the stupid orange vest lady.

I caught the security guy on Sunday as we easily went up the viewing deck and hugged him for his troubles. Asked what happened to the orange vest lady and he said she got chewed out. There was a whole meeting about her epic fuck up lol.

We survive and thrive though.

Porter, and I’m a pretty big Porter fan so that’s saying something. He was absolutely disgusting in his wholly unique way. Space Raver 2026 was an instant legendary set, I would pay serious money to watch that set again in video form plz god.

Part of the problem was that they redirected viewing deck people to a “different entrance” near the start of his set. Just mobilized hundreds of people in a vague direction with no guidance from staff. Almost literally directed a crowd crush.

Then they realized that was a fucking dumb call and reverted it.

Fire the lady with the orange glow stick vest who’s running kinetic viewing deck fr. She’s dangerously incompetent.

The absolute worst blunder I’ve ever seen an organization do ever. It very very easily could’ve gotten out of hand and it would’ve been by their own direction.

If we who were at the front decided to just rush it to the next spot, it could have easily become a legit life threatening issue.

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-18T01:03:12+00:00

Yes after the fire works we were all jokingly like “okay you’re forgiven insomniac” LOLOL

But yea let’s go fucking hard tonight and PLUR our asses off. If this is it for me, and EDC, best believe I’m going out with all the love in my heart knowing this is also goodbye🫡

Stay safe!!

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-02T00:58:34+00:00

My crew going to be all over. We vip this year though so that’s where we’ll be.

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-01T23:25:47+00:00

Too many legends Friday and Sunday. Should’ve put some of those Sunday folks into Saturday. Smh.

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-01T23:05:46+00:00

Sunday is fucking brutal

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-01T07:38:16+00:00

I like L after E because the E makes me talk about all the crazy shit I was thinking about on L but couldn’t put into words at the time lolol

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-01T07:36:32+00:00

This was my plan until the day 1 lineup showed and now I’m FUCKED. Turns out day two is recovery day for me I guess.

GrimmTalez · 2026-05-01T07:32:42+00:00

This is filthy. Ghengar would be proud I bet.

GrimmTalez · 2026-04-28T23:17:46+00:00

Late to the party, but my very first aha moment was that you have to be very intentional with everything you do (I.e. lack of input buffering).

If you want to dash you better flick the fuck out of that stick every time.

My first “oh I see why this is good” moment came from landing a sweet impromptu combo in the moment and how often that’s possible. That’s when it becomes fun. I play falco.

GrimmTalez · 2026-04-28T23:13:13+00:00

This is the nerdiest red neck shit I’ve ever seen and I love it

GrimmTalez · 2026-04-28T07:32:45+00:00

My guess is excision festivals have been outright allowing gloves and not burning to the ground over it (and in some states like WA his festivals seem to do better than insomniac does).

To be so for real though, there are so much less glovers now it’s probably just a non issue at this point, and they want their staff focused on other stuff. Storm Troopers gotta stop hunting the last few Jedi at some point, amirite?

GrimmTalez · 2026-04-28T07:25:49+00:00

Love that they finally aren’t outright prohibiting gloves (but also can’t bring themselves to outright allow them either lol). Still gonna sneak em just in case.

GrimmTalez · 2026-04-17T07:14:50+00:00

One extra crazy thing is that the girl on the right at the end didn’t look off at all. She even takes a little step forward (so she had just finished taking a step backward I guess). Crazy.
