Decadence Recap. OMFG - That was Fun
I scored my pre-paid shirt, which was size medium, but was actually like a XXL on me! People were so friendly in all the lines and at the shows. My Earplugs really really made the whole thing possible, so kudos to me. Heck ya, those things are so amazing. After two days and 12 hours of Shows on the rail, my ears ring the same amount as they always did.
It was pouring rain after Griz, I hit the toilets and headed straight over to the outdoor stage to dance in the rain. Holy Fucking Moly that was fun!
More to come! Here's a list of all the DJs I saw. Griz was Amazing, and in fact, it everyone was so good. I'll detail it out later. The sound at the Conservatory was the best IMHO. Super strong bass, with crystal clear highs and subtle mids. Perfect for my ears.
Here's me over at the Playhouse, dancing in the rain with 10 of my best friends!
