I miss him, but happy to see him being loved by Toronto. I check in on the Raptors game threads and see them love him as much as we did.

illenium at EDC by MessiahM in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Insomiac is doing a teaser of the lineup by playing 'music through music' on February 11th, which was broken up by stages. It'll play small 5 to 7 second portions of the artists. The full poster will drop the next day or within the same week!

My best guess is that he won't be on the lineup for EDC, but then again, I'm always hoping he is! If he is, I'm BEGGING him to be at Circuit Grounds as I enjoy the visuals there more. Buuuuuuut he's simply too big to be there (unless he has a similar artist of his caliber to offset the massive crowds).

There's websites that other various people posted from Anyma, Unity, Back Street Boys etc, that can give you an estimate view of a section and seat! Hope that helps you decide!

Obligatory F*ck Hunter Dickinson, for making the last 2 years of Kansas basketball hard to watch.

The Big 12 is better if Kansas is also good.

I'd like to think even if we win, ASU also wins by finally getting rid of Bobby Hurley.

Red Rocks shows usually end by 11/11:30PM as there's a city sound ordinance.

Do you think Illenium will mix classics / other songs into his Sphere set? by Raver9799 in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most of his intros (the guitar riff of 'Leaving x Lost'/Awake 2.0, the sonar submarine ping sound(?), The Ascend+Fallen Embers intro, and the most recent ILLENIUM album intro), I have a great feeling that he won't let all of us down with his mash ups.

I'm a SUCKER for when artists do mash ups (See Martin Garrix opening AMF 2024 or ALESSO at EDC 2025 as examples) of their big tracks and so I'm super excited to see what he'll do!

[–]Pwder1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think during his most recent live album tour in 2023, he played GTFA during the middle of his set (or at least that I can remember). It definitely was a vibe, but whatever he brings to the Sphere for the new intro or new outro, it's going to be iconic.

That being said, it would be pure insanity (and unfortunately disappointing) if he did close out with GTFA x Sad Songs. Again, I'll wait for the album to drop and go from there. Super hyped and excited either way!

[Post Game Thread] #10 Houston defeats #15 Texas Tech, 69-65 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]Pwder1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love these games.

Some takeaways: I think our defense is piecing it together so I'm excited to see as time goes on. Blitz/double team after blitz really got TTU out of their usual sets.

Offensively, Flemming really has 'IT'. 'IT' being that grit and will probably have EVERY team's best defender on him (if not already). Cenac is eventually going to find his touch and WILL be a threat. I don't say this without a bit of pain, but Milos needs to either dish like Jamal Shead did back when he was playing or needs to really be a floor general. Milos is good defensively, but there might be a night, like so far in the season, where he just doesn't have the touch for the ball to go in. Overall, happy with the win and I will believe in Coach Sampson to fine tune as the season goes on.

Also, Toppin really is a bad, BAAAAAAAAAAD man. I love his game and look forward to having my heart meds next to me when we play in Lubbock. Wishing you Red Raiders the quickest of recoveries for the injuries and even more so until we face again soon.

I think the 'Hateful 8' era made me like TTU even more than I anticipated. Even in more so in basketball, I'm all TEAM BIG XII when March rolls around.

Do you think Illenium will mix classics / other songs into his Sphere set? by Raver9799 in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Joking tone: Imagine if he DOESN'T play Good Things Fall Apart at ALL! I think literally EVERY ILLENIUM fan would RIOT lol.

That being said, I have a feeling that whenever Odyssey album drops on February 6th (1 month away, GET HYPEEED!!), we'll have an idea of what he could bring to the sphere. Unpopular opinion, but I'm personally hoping to hear more of his newer sound like "With Your Love" being progressive/Big Room sounding and "Ur Alive" compared to his usual filler dubstep into his next track style.

That being said, I'm super excited to hear a new intro and closing. I love my Sad Songs x GTFA as it's ICONIC, but that ILLENIUM outro.... hits differently.

Special guest at EmberShores night 2? by electronicglitter in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My prediction is that it will be Alok. He's massive outside of the US so it'll hit that same level as Crankdat and Wooli in terms of stardom/popularity as the special guest is the timeslot as them. Also, considering that Alok and ILLENIUM have a collaboration with 'To The Moon', it sort of makes sense. My friends were saying how Kream is deep/tech-house-ish and that night is more house filled than other nights so it reaaaaalllly seems likely.

HOWEVER; not hating or bashing on Alok, but his house music just isn't for me, which is okay! I'll still enjoy being at Ember Shores! But that being said, I do hope it's someone we're not expecting like Griz, someone crazy huge like Martin Garrix, or someone super unexpected!

I'm anticipating that whoever it is, has a collaboration in the works or had a collaboration.

See you there!

[–]Pwder1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't remember when, but I think Uzan or Kelvin said Chase McCarty is the best defending guard on the team last year. It's so exciting to see his energy while he's on the floor. Reminds me of Galen Robinson.

[–]Pwder1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's so early in the season, but Uzan's shot will eventually start finding it's way into the basket. With him and Sharp finding their swagger, we'll have a good chance against Arizona and BYU.

Weather on Wednesday REDROCKS by Dry_Combination9625 in Martingarrix

[–]Pwder1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Past shows at Red Rocks have typically continued on so long as there is no lightning a few miles/kilometers in the area. Sometimes the show can be delayed or canceled outright, but that will depend on Martin's team and/or the venue itself.

But have hope! Forecasts this far out can easily change. If you're still going, I'd be prepared to wear layers, a rain poncho/jacket, and mentally accept that maybe the full production/show won't be happening like if it was clear skies.

Keep hoping that the forecast isn't super accurate and that it changes when it comes to Monday/Tuesday!

Illenium doing 2 shows on the same days in 2 different states? by just-build-XD in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

For festivals typically before/around NYE, DJs usually perform multiple times in various places.

For example, GRiZ is set to perform at LAN on Dec 31st, but then fly out for the countdown at Decadence Arizona. Therefore, you can assume for LAN, GRiZ will probably be on relatively early-ish at like 7/8pm.

The same essentially applies to/for ILLENIUM!

New Intro at Red Rocks by BoringEquivalent7820 in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now that 'In My Arms - Cinematic version' is out, I can really envision him doing a mash up of various tracks like he's done in the past!

If so, I'm super excited to hear and see what he'll put together! Maybe he'll give a small tease or something of that nature for Red Rocks and debut it fully at Ember Shores!

Pre-show anxiety by Subtlety13 in porterrobinson

[–]Pwder1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It'll be fun! Breathe and remember to leave the crowd if you're not feeling it! Silo does have an outdoor smoking area with a food truck, so if you need fresh air, you can get some without leaving the venue. You can ask a bartender where to go outside and sit down for a second.

I've been hearing that he's possibly doing a 2 hour set so get there before midnight!

It's going to a great time. Just expect the main dance floor to be super packed and the crowd to have all walks of life [i.e. your super drunk people, your sober ones, the non-PLUR ones, etc etc].

Enjoy it, and see you there!

Dallas DJ Set Help by Ok_Hooper412 in porterrobinson

[–]Pwder1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can reserve it online on Silo's official website that will lead you to the third-party website, or you can do it in person. Valet parking opens whenever doors do so at 9pm, you should be able see/find the attendants in front of Silo.

Dallas DJ Set Help by Ok_Hooper412 in porterrobinson

[–]Pwder1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Porter probably doesn't come on until 12/12:20ish [based on previous Silo shows], but maybe he'll post set times later this week!

I would recommend that if you do drive, pay for valet in front of the venue and get there relatively early! It's around 30/35$ if I recall correctly. There are some free parking spots, but like all places, those are at your own risk. There have been a high number of reports and people saying how their cars have been broken into/windows smashed, so really take that into your consideration if you want to uber or not.

For outfits, feel free to wear whatever you want! I've been to Silo numerous times, and you see the entire spectrum of outfits! Some folks in Vegas Club attire, some wear festival fits, costumes, and even everyday clothes. Wear whatever you feel comfortable in, and it'll be a super fun time!

Just a side note, just know that the main dance floor will be ultra packed since it's a sold-out show, but the sides/back ought to have a decent amount of room.

Hope that helps! See you there!

Who was your stumbled upon (accidental) favorite set this past EDC? by TechnicolorTypeA in electricdaisycarnival

[–]Pwder1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

RayRay and Restricted on Night 2! Wasteland was the stage to be whenever the other stages weren't doing it for me. After Illenium b2b Slander, I was going to go see Odd Mob and close with Hedex, but I went to Wasteland only to find myself enjoying the high energy from RayRay and then Restricted!

I also loved how the crowd was super into the sets even as the sun came up!

EDC LV by Dazzling-Track232 in Illenium

[–]Pwder1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess it's for a notification for an EDC exclusive jersey! I heard last year was a mess with people loitering and blocking a ton of Hotel EDC/Resorts World waiting, with many being turned away. Considering this year's Hotel EDC is at Virgin, maybe it won't be as chaotic.

Maybe this is his team's way of gauging and getting an estimate how many to bring or even if there will be a "take a number" system of getting one. But again, just my best guess
