they come from the land of the ice and snow, wielding the Hammer Of The Gods!

heads up if you're a parent who's thinking of taking your kids/letting them attend with friends: I haven't been able to confirm this as of yet, but there's lots of talk online that this event is going to be open only to those 16 years of age or older.

the whole hour-by-hour schedule is out. If you can only go one day, MAKE IT SATURDAY. the lineup is fucking INCREDIBLE.

this is me, last night: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/14662511 4 songs, in order: I can't go through this alone (glaring f-up in the second line, but I managed to recover) parade rest my own advice build your heaven here voice is getting better...but still not back to where I want it.

radio reports said the shit was laced with PCP, so fuck 'em.

^ as the hour-by-hour schedule hasn't been released yet, I can only give my general impressions. I have gone every year, and this is what I've noticed: Saturday - the freak show. if people watching is why you're going, this is the day. Sunday - most intense. DJs seem to be hitting just a little bit harder, and the crowds respond in kind. Monday - a bit more mellow than the other two. probably the most purely fun day each year.

half full.

well, not exactly, Detroit...more like DTE. We get the opening date of a 20-show fest featuring different kinds of electronic dance music. Pete Tong, Pretty Lights, DJ Shadow, Crystal Method doing a DJ set and more! a bit more info here: http://www.idfestival.com/
