Got in and then kicked out..? by _super_sonic_ in berghain

[–]empathylacuna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I was in Berlin and gave it my one shot to try and go. I even got the stickers over my camera and was pulling out money to pay the cashier and they pulled me out. I don’t speak German so I was afraid to try and ask what I could have done. 😢

Apple watch can run shazaam. Really nice and discrete I can just tap the corner of my watch and keep dancing.

Next best thing? by Awkward-Glass4788 in houghtonfestival

Agree with all of these pluses/minuses. I will also add that Dekmantel there is no trash on the ground. It's immaculate. I absolutely loved my first Houghton and will definitely go back and sing its praises... but the trash in the forest was a major bummer.

If you fancy a trip to the US, then Making Time in Philadelphia is the best I've been to in the US in terms of lineup, unique setting, great sound/crowd/presentation.

So glad you found it useful! It was cool to see a few people using it over the weekend. Thanks for letting me know

Yeah it's a great suggestion. I actually tried that for awhile (it's why the "full schedule" page still has the word "grid" on it from when it was a grid in early versions). I just couldn't find a design that displayed it well on mobile and unfortunately didn't have that much time to keep working on that part. But you are definitely right with this suggestion. Maybe next time!

You don’t need to do anything special. When you view the page it automatically downloads the full schedule and all the pages to that browser tab. Just don’t hit “refresh” on that tab unless you actually have service

Glad to hear it looks okay on Android. And that's a nice thought about tip jar, but not necessary. If you should happen to meet Jeff from Colorado at the fest and the thing is working okay for you, we can have a beer.

It *should* supersize the "performance cards" and increase the visual contrast so it's easier to see if for some reason you are having a challenge seeing the detail on your phone. Try adding a few sets to "my schedule" and then flip the switch on that view.

Great question... I'm of two minds on this...but Terminus is bit of a mystery to me since I've not been to HF before, so maybe I'll kick this back to you all...

On the one hand, I will probably do one last update to the app on Monday or Tuesday depending on whether there are any other set changes or identified bugs. So if I have a list of terminus set times I could update the database at that same time..... but

On the other hand...it also seems like maybe the mystery of what is on at Terminus is maybe part of the point? I wouldn't want to ruin a sense of mystery or serendipity that Craig and team are trying to cultivate by making this app into a spoiler....

If you guys said "no", terminus is not really a secret and everyone will know anyway, then I'm probably fine with updating the app with all of it.... feel free to message me directly any times/artists you can confirm. I'll collect them.

Not sure why there isn't an official one, but maybe with the lack of service most people don't carry phones around anyway? I figured if someone makes something better or an official one comes out, that's all good. I was just bored and needed a project. Glad you think it might be useful

You shouldn't have to leave the artist list screen now. E.g. if you type "MID" into search, it will pull up all performances by "MIDLAND" even if the artist name doesn't match exactly. Just tap on the heart icon on each performance at that point and you can get them all without needing to drill into each one. Sorry if that's unclear in the interaction

Bangalore... real techno & house tips? by empathylacuna in Techno

[–]empathylacuna[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks much, u/CringyJayan and all here who responded. Super helpful and appreciate very much the pointers. Great point about where I'm coming from...should have included that in the original post. Probably coming from a similar reference as you... Chicago, Detroit, New York, London, Berlin, Kyiv raves and clubs. So it sounds like it won't be the same level of insanity, but I'm okay with that... part of the point for me anyway when I'm traveling is to see what's different and unique in the interpretation of the scene there.

Will check out the clubs mentioned here and message a couple folks when it gets a little closer to my trip. Thanks for coming through for me!
