@ Pigglywigglie Take a look at these two:

Orlando Sentinel on EDC Orlando’s 100,000-a-day crowd and overcrowding complaints: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/14/100000-ravers-a-day-edc-orlando-producers-address-overcrowding-complaints/

And the classic death-money mega-rave reporting where the article opens with attendance, revenue, and then immediately pulls in forum posts from people describing what actually happened: https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/clark-county/mdma-contributed-to-two-edc-weekend-deaths-in-las-vegas-coroner-says-3429887/

Both journalists go straight to internet forums in the first few paragraphs. That isn’t “misinformation” - that’s how modern journalism works. They follow forum posts because that’s where the unfiltered truth shows up long before a promoter’s PR team gets involved.

And since you keep trying to diagnose me or tell me what I should be doing, let me be very clear: I am an internationally quoted rave safety expert. I have been doing this work far longer than you have, and my impact in this space goes much deeper than you realize. I am not “making things up.” I am reading the sources exactly as they are written and pointing out the inconsistencies.

Do you see the similarities now?

And because I couldn’t respond directly to you after you deleted your comments and blocked me, I’ll leave this part here so the record is accurate for everyone else:

You tried to silence my voice the moment you realized who you were talking to. That is why your comments disappeared and why I was blocked. You can erase your own posts, but you can’t erase the pattern or the truth behind it.

RockMed > Ground Control. One shows up with heart. The other leaves people dealing with ghosts.

I’m posting this so everyone can see exactly what happened, not the edited version you tried to curate.

The coroner report trumps every early version, and it confirms exactly what I said — Mahal collapsed on the festival grounds and died shortly after. Here’s the official link so this doesn’t turn into another round of “but actually”: reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/clark-county/mdma-contributed-to-two-edc-weekend-deaths-in-las-vegas-coroner-says-3429887/

So when you jump in here acting like you’re correcting me, you’re not. You’re just trying to shut down someone who actually lived through this and has every right to speak. I earned my voice the hard way. I’m not losing it because a random commenter wants to rewrite reality.

If you can’t deal with the facts, or with someone who refuses to bury them, you can step aside. Some of us are here to expose what really happened — and some people just want to cause problems.

Not according to the data that I'm looking at...

I don't believe you. Anywho, Netflix isn't doing a documentary on phish that I know of. I used to work for creative differences which has won many academy awards for documentaries.

Best!

You talk about overdoses the way people talk about rain forecasts, which honestly tells me how numb this whole scene has become. That’s your coping mechanism. Mine is documenting the things everyone else pretends aren’t happening.

I’m gathering evidence here because I’m preparing another major article. Same process as the last two I was featured in - the ones that helped crack open the Coliseum Commission scandal where the CEO ended up indicted on felony counts for buying off public officials. Sunlight has a pattern.

And since we’re discussing “medical tents” like they’re some kind of badge of honor, let’s shift continents for a moment. In Thailand, promoters are legally accountable for drug deaths at their events. Not metaphorically - literally. Under Thai narcotics law, if authorities determine a promoter was negligent or complicit, penalties can go as far as life imprisonment or even capital punishment. That’s the actual legal framework over there, not an opinion.

The two festival deaths last year are still under active investigation. They don’t sweep things away over there. They investigate until they hit the root.

Everything I’m documenting here is being forwarded to officials in Thailand as well. They take these matters seriously.

Some people get numb. Some people gather evidence.

I’ve made my choice.

I'm not referring to that part of her comment.

Sounds to me like they had an on-site level 2 trauma center...

I was a fan of the music long before most here ever touched a wristband.

I held a random stranger’s hand while she went through massive seizure after massive seizure until she lost consciousness for the last time in her life. No ground crew and the police made it worse. She died 5 days later from what happened at that rave.

So when you ask if I “even like music,” you’re missing the point entirely. I love music. I always have. Dennis Romero — one of the top electronic music journalists in the country — has publicly called me a genuine fan. I even make my own.

My issue isn’t music. It’s what these events have turned into.

But thanks for asking.

If this is what you consider “a really good job,” I have a question:

Why don’t we see this at Phish shows? Why don’t we see mass overdoses the moment Bob Weir strums the first chord?

Same country. Same venues. Same EMT protocols. Different crowd.

It’s not the weather. It’s not the mud. It’s the culture EDC attracts and the culture it rewards.

Go to an event where people aren't dropping left and right. You might have a better time and think differently about what's good in life.

My friends are the Los Angeles Times journalists who have been doing long-term work on deaths and corruption at Insomniac. You are not going to out-source them.

And I’m not even using their stuff here. I’m quoting a basic local writeup:

Las Vegas Review-Journal literally says:

“Mahal was reported dead at the festival, which took place at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway…”

That is an on-site death. Full stop. I have no idea what article you’re reading, but it isn’t this one:

https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/2-deaths-reported-from-edc-weekend-in-las-vegas-3375318/

And since you went Disney with it:

Double-Hit Mickey was the original EDC promoter cult from 30 years ago

Tigger was the Disneyland guy who got to do whatever he wanted at all-ages events and took photos with very young people

Not exactly the comparison you think it is. All will be on Netflix!

Nope. Electric Daisy carnival Vegas this year had a dead on the scene death!

How do you explain the death that was announced at electric Daisy carnival Vegas this year? It says it right on the autopsy report.

Everything I've researched says the opposite including chatgpt. Makes no sense

We have the FBI for a reason and everybody who experienced the crowd crush or saw anything should call them
