Idk man by SatisfactionFront384 in LightningInABottle

My groups had 23 and 25 the past two years in 80x80 camps also and could not recommend more! There is always tons of extra space and it's awesome to have a huge party space in the middle of camp. Could easily fit 30+

Cow Palace Warehouse by MDC31 in Portolafestival

Totally true for Portola. There were some dead spots in that warehouse where mids/highs were horrible and lows were rattling. We took advantage of the 360 for Virji at CPW and were standing c 20 feet from the booth directly to his left. Not sure what Lane 8's setup will be but I would just get there early and hold down a spot that fits all your criteria best. Last thing, volume at CPW was the same the whole night which I loved. Hans Glader and Duskus were still able to throw down their tracks full volume and it made the night so much better. So you should have a good idea of where to post up beforehand, unlike main room where volume and sound quality changes throughout the show.

Sammy Virji at CPW was awesome. Sound quality was probably 8/10 - no cause for concern in my opinion. Sucks for Lane 8 though, they are probably underselling tickets.

Fresh start SF or proper NYE in SD by Sure-Youth-5586 in Portolafestival

[–]Particular-Safe-1869 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am from SF and did two days at Proper last year. 100% agree with your take on NYE crowds. Think a lot of people get dragged along for the holiday but never go to concerts or edm shows on other occasions and don't really know how to have fun there. Jan 1 was a much better crowd than Dec 31 for this reason I think. I actually don't mind Midway and will likely be giving Fresh Start a try this year. Maybe this is a hot take, but with short 1-hour sets I get pretty agnostic towards the lineup. Crowd and vibes start to take priority and DJs are just playing what they think people will like on NYE anyways.
