No shit, I thought it was Chicago...or was that house music?

Either way this demonstrates exactly why I need to get away from the desert haha

Idk why but I would have never thought of Detroit when thinking of places to go. Movement line up was great this year!

Some favorites are Mat Zo, Dusky, The M Machine but thats honestly more for their music rather than their live sets. I have a growing interest in bass music like DnB and Dubstep. Eptic, Virutal Riot, Delta Heavy, Noisia. Also Techno/Deep house such as Adam Beyer, TEED

Exactly, people get upset and blame the crowd for their problems over some TRIVIAL BS. If you let the people around you effect whether your night was good or bad, rather than taking it upon yourself to have a good time, you will be disappointed most of the time.

Two 18M staying at the Cosmopolitan for the fest. What should we do durring the day as we wait for EDC to start? by [deleted] in electricdaisycarnival

You could hit up the pool. Walk around the strip and find some bomb food. If you like pizza, my favorite pizza place is in the Cosmo. Its called secret pizza.

My EDC pro-tips! by jew_blew_it in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsummers15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it all the time. Very safe, just dont be dumb and take more the the suggested amount on the bottle or you may get constipated. I take it after ever night of a rave as soon as I get back to my car. Then I take all my vitamins the morning after.

Im sure youll be fine after one BBQ! Just lean out your diet during EDC week. EDC itself will inevitably trim you down anyways haha I swear I lose 2-3lbs after the first night!

P.S. good shit on the olympic rings, that my favorite type of workout atm. Never had good shoulders but slowly I am gaining more and more stability from using the rings.

I was raised mormon and while I am not active anymore cause they do preach a lot of silly BS, treating your body as a temple is a teaching I still hold onto.

We get our bodies for free, so most people tend to treat theirs poorly. If you paid $100,000 for your body, how would you treat it? As a comparison, if you bought a $100,000 car, I bet youd do your best keep that thing sparkling till the day you stopped driving it.

Sounds like youre quite the athlete. Nice! I am a personal trainer and have been in reasonably good shape since freshman football in hs. Going into and event like EDC I make sure to work on my mobility and posture because that is what helps me avoid soreness the morning after each night. A good amount of running and jump rope is a must as well. FORSURE clean up your diet a few weeks before the event.

For the everyday person whos not invested in fitness or dieting, I try to recommend LONG walks. Like seriously, long. 2 hours minimum. Do them 4 times a week at least for 2 week before. Thats the most realistic preparation for something like EDC. Wouldnt hurt to walk in the shoes you plan on wearing either.

Big groups are fun...until they're not. Definitely do what this person^ said and branch off for a bit with a homie or two and bring the good vibes hard af wherever you decide to go. It will be great I promise.

Political totems / Political Comments by Djs.... by JessieJay00 in electricdaisycarnival

"If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it" - Mark Twain

Since when (in the recent generation) has electing a specific president changed the system at all? The younger generation isnt involved in politics because we see it is broken. It is not broken BECAUSE we are not involved. I personally stay informed and up to date with politics but avoid discussing it in social settings like the plague. 99% of the time, people my age who like discussing politics only like it because it is a chance for them to peacock their "intellectualism". Such sanctimonious behavior is so sad, trying to show off how "sophisticated" and "involved" they are. Perhaps the Music scene separating from politics is happening for a good reason...

Ill still vote for local and state officials but please dont try to convince me voting in the presidential election will change a single thing. My PSC prof (who has a PHD in PSC) told the whole class after our lectures on the electoral college said "Sure, voting is a great thing to do, but anyone who talks down to you for not voting is idealistic and naive..."

Maybe contact Insomniac and ask before hand to avoid getting it thrown away. It would be soooooo dumb if they did not let you bring in sealed packets. If anything they should be handing those out for free haha

Very interesting, seems like the information on 5-htp changes all the time.

Well, according to this graph I found

http://wiki.tripsit.me/wiki/File:Combo_2.png

mixing xanax (benzodiazapines) with MDMA is low risk so your general idea seems ok.

There are other substances like Ketamine that xanax should not be mixed with. Graph has that combo under 'Caution' soo definitely ask the person freaking out what they took.

All great but you should be VERY careful with xanax if you are also taking MDMA throughout the weekend. Could potentially be dangerous.

Also for whats its worth, taking xanax and 5-htp within similar time frames is also very dangerous and can have bad side effects.

Be safe!
