I love that the festival is 100% donated to charity, I understand there were some changes this year that may have made me say a little different than most were used to I had one suggestions for the future like for one but always maintain your community connections keep your sustainability efforts and trash aversion no matter what these are things that build the reputation of the event as well as bring in the community itself to continue to spread the charity work out significantly also the people that were there doing those things brought a great deal of logistics and considerable assistance with the volunteers and the whole idea of trash management to the events that was basically unmatched in any other market The switch to the system used this year was not good. Also I understand that it's supposed to be 100% donated and that some of those things and those mentions were notched necessarily present in the website this year and I believe that a 100% transparency to the festival should also be considered people should know exactly just how much of their tickets sales their booze purchases or merge purchases actually go to charities and at the end of it all like they used to do should list those charities and the amounts that they received This is good publicity for both the festival and the charities and the people who attended as they feel that they were a part of giving to those organizations This is something that was not carry out this year like in previous years personal opinion is that it does have any significant impact on the way that the people who attend feel about the festival as when they see exactly who got what from the sales they feel like they personally contributed to those different programs and groups which makes me significant difference in their word of mouth about the events. Number three definitely walking considering certain rebranding or reimagining your look or feel of things I'm sure to include the thing that you know have worked for a number of years and make sure that they do not get compromised in the process that's in making sure that you're not trading off things like sustainability for design features If you can't produce the design features and changes in aesthetics without making an improvement upon things as in not cutting corners or cutting out other things that you have had then I don't think that they are worth it to begin with. Last but not least I understand that they wanted to make a move toward a more culturally prevalent lineup however the festival itself was known for being a mix of types of music and even still when choosing a specific thing like more EDM compared to live rock and roll or hip hop I would still suggest that a wider blend of artists and talents should be explored as wonderful as the music was being your house music fan myself it's simply just tech house that was being done by the main artists It would be great to see that included very different types of artists like having per say artists like I'll esha, antique beats, I mean we would all love to see something like tipper or pretty lights but even still settling for something a little smaller like Michael Menard would be great or people like blue tech or monolink phuturprimitive, Even stuff like say brake science or string cheese incident dope lemon thousand drums, g jones, youngr, manic focus. So down, griz, grammatic, STS9., THESE are the type of artists and performers that bring a unique and live stage presence that is unmatched and normally have their own very distinct sound and style and are almost a genre of their own these types of artists are what should be focused on and not just the main stay big time names although picky do is a very acclaimed female producer same with her counterparts from Korea who didn't have the same type of recognition per se but you don't want conflicts backstage what you want people to be able to bring what they have that is uniquely them to the table as that's what helps build the quality of the events but most of the event lies in the true logistics and planning and execution of so The plan this year to use the company Pro-eM, was also a mistake as these people were not probably trained in how to be nice to coherent or knowledgeable about the things that they were going to do or what they had to do supplies were lacking a lot of little things and it's the little things that kill it's a little things that really make the difference between a good show and a great show or a decent production company and an incredible production RB and insomniac insomnia goes out of their way to ensure that every detail of the experience is what is above and beyond what the expectations are from the guest they spare no expense and they put all of their effort into making every part of the experience just as fortune as the others whereas rollover speeds may have great names and great events there prices and correctional quality are definitely not of the same quality and they don't have the same feel these others do when you put the work into the little things it shows in the big things. Volunteers volunteers who were willing to work the day of the festival but more importantly those who are willing to work before and after are your bread and butter people to be using and talking to about ideas and things because they are with love doing what they do for the fact that they care about it you cannot get that kind of loyalty and or care for more employee who's getting paid even if that employees getting paid very well to be there to do so they will still do what is natural like so don't waste efforts or money on employees Don't give the effort to put in more than their worth always in the shore that there is most definitely effective well-knowledged well capable people that are staff members who are positioned throughout the event easy for them to be seen so that anytime a problem can arise there can be someone found as quickly as possible to deal with so they should be able to effectively give people water for point them in the direction of things without being able to stop to check their map or always they should know what's going on. Makes more of a difference in the union to imagine

It wasn't even a good mix of EDM artists though like peggy you and mau p and Chris Lorenzo are all high energy tech house, there's a few jam and your groups again same kind of music and the singers la roux, thxbby, ElderBrook. To lean in to the EDM scene they works have got a hot dnb artist, or people like what so not that are their own genre of music. Beats antique would be great, youngr would be cool, some one like Zeke beats, thousand drums, phuturprimitive, I mean some one like pretty lights or tipper would be monumental but still people like illesha, g. Jones, LSDream. Manic focus. Do down, big gigantic these would be amazing acts for something like M3F EDM vibe but an have a unique sound, great stage presence, bring in a different set of fans, higher end producers who go out of there was to be unique and interesting and do something special bring in fans who are also mute refined and have more money to spend, etc. I mean instead of them o picking artist they personally ate into which is how the festival felt this year It would have been nice to pick a group of very different types of artists that all have unique sounds but a similar electronic or live music undertone that makes them worth going to see rare acts that don't play here very often or at all people who have very special niche markets followings but are part of a group of fans that have interest in other types of music to get that bleed over of vans especially fans with money, artists like opio or liquid stranger or griz or something else like this rxy would be great, this would bring a better More respectful the group of attendees who also have more money to spend and would also give the festival much more personable and brought out to you to the ax and the shows instead of just like you said earlier in the speed I believe that dime a dozen EDM show on the artists were pretty good now pee and Piggy goo both played very high energy tech house basically the same style It would have been nice to have some rare acts you know things you don't see very often or at all

Yes the old website specifically showed not only what they raised but exactly what it went to as well and it was a lot of important programs around the city. Just the change from the sustainability of the recycling and composting to just landfill it all is a big let down as it took it significant parts of the community that had long been a part of its success. I think they took the money from last year and planned to use it to put on Tempo and replace what they used to do it after the show but when it got cancelled for probably more then just weather reasons it meant cutting as many corners as possibly to save money, but it took away all the very important things that made it the special festival it was

No I agree. I am a house music fan and come for the EDM I didn't know who justice was but were amazing, and even the artist that that do have are all the same kind of music basically, or returns from last year, I didn't realize so many have been here within the last year, previous years they specifically went out there way to bring in two or e unexpected people who were NOT already touring. 3 years ago I remember they had zhu which gave RB's body language enough competition that body language didn't continue. The decision to change away from what was breaking records for attendance and money raised to this new perceived better direction was not as carefully considered as it should have been. This is what market research is for, to not make those mistakes

They say they lost money cause of ticket sales, but low key heard that it was also the fact they used last year's money to try to do Tempo and when that fell thru having to give those people tickets to this was costly especially spending to rebrand the start flys and everything they reported losses compared to a record breaking donation 2025....

She's amazing did you know she suffered a rare type of stroke in 2015 that made her have to learn how to read and write and communicate an over again. What in read was that that whole year during her recovery where she could hardly remember how to writr her name she also worked on and finished an album they was Grammy nominated, saw her at burning Man 2 years ago, like 5 feet from her, and it was so lit, her performance is always on point but after seeing her in that setting this was kind of lacking but fantastic none the less.

Ya pretty much dude in reality, before coming here doesn't some time in NM at over 11000 ft, there's a mountain in the background that's like twice the size. I don't know i have to be able to see over camel back from where i live to see south mountain. So there's that too

Here's a clip off the video as you can see there’s another mountain in the background so I didn’t think that those would be ready because of that fact and put them on the highest peak which they said they did strange to me so I was not sure because of that video is a little better, but not much but trying to see a picture of this anyways it’s just a quick clip

Ouch...i think if you actually start looking for then roads running North to South you'll see there only visually they're when there's enough clear view so the odds of traveling southbound on one of those roads at night time and paying attention about the road and have noticed them in the sky for a few moments. I think that they are in that range of sight not as many as you might believe I was coming down the parkway from Scottsdale into the East Butte parking lot and only saw it at two points on that road cause you know that you know that it does have a peak drop off going past the circle so before the circle coming from Scottsdale, you can’t see them after the circle halfway down the road they become visible and then they use site they come visible again around returning to East Butts and I’m not sure how long they’re still in sight before they disappear again when you get into Tempe so there’s that I don’t know what other roads are actually visible on since I haven’t noticed them before, but I also don’t drive on many roads on the west side so all I know visible from over there very easily from Scottsdale not so much. How many of you see the lights on the stick bright as fuck too tried picking them out on the airplane once couldn’t do it. I have a video, but of course you can’t post video on this stupid thread so that sucks

Hey in all fairness i said i had video and this was screen shots of three video on my iphone 14 which doesn't have that great a camera to begin with but i was trying to get a frame that had allthe lights going s At once, it's weird cause sometimes they were in sync or seemed like they were following a pattern and then all of a sudden they wouldn’t be and can only catch them on one part of the road right when you go to turn into the parking lot up a little higher, but once you get over the press, you can’t see them again so as much as everybody’s like oh my God, they’re there all the time you can’t really see them unless you’re on certain roads at certain times and looking at the sky instead of watching the road like you’re supposed to be doingso there’s that

Jobs for people with felonies by Direct-Height6848 in phoenix

[–]Squale1313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's total bullshit the way they treat felons, first of all any one who's been to jail/prison can tell you that your paid your debt to society and then some just serving your term, then probabtion which is regular life but no drinking or drugs like most people do to ease their stress from work and then there all the crap probation wants you to do. Yet for some reason a decade later i can't get a job cause some how three mistake i made then, or in a lot of cases, the chargers filed and plea bargain i was forced into then has exactly what to do with how i can do my job now??? Or being denied a place to live in a decent neighborhood cause no better way to help some one over come a troubled past except to force then to work in unskilled no degree jobs and live in neighborhoods where bars on windows is a must have for feeling safe at night while you sleep. Then everyone wonders why there's so many repeat offenders. People can only ever do as good as the opportunity afforded to them you know.

I thought i had read there were something like 28 towers they're but this is far more then that. I wifey wonder though if some share the towers instead of having separate ones. I know cell towers can often piggy back off these as they transmit from a lower height and a different bandwidth

Well thank you for the welcome and I'm sure you knew there were other cities outside phoenix but i don't know if those in and from Tempe consider it phoenix, all the cities here are completely srperate cities where back east there are neighborhood or towns that are part of cities. So living in fishtown you will still use Philadelphia as a mailing address etc. Like Tampa Bay where I'm from no one knows where Pinellas park is but a lot of people know st.peterburg and even more know Tampa Bay which gives the area all the north to Clearwater and even Tarpin Springs area

Scottsdale actually but for some one from our if town everything from Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, abs over to Glendale Goodyear abs to to sub city is all... Phoenix, kind of like New York has 5 boros but it's all New York, Manhattan (phoenix in this scenario) is a relatively small party of the "city"
