Choosing this over paramore. Cuz I love hardcore.

Also cuz the tickets are cheaper and id be going to paramore alone anyway

I will be there... Kind of. Lol. The show happening there the same night is really attractive to me.

how was this?

Apparently the ravers were getting picked on.

I had fun, but it could have been better. I don't know if the So Stoked parties are getting hotter, or if I'm becoming a big baby, but that shit was almost unbearable. It's kind of shame that I missed so many sets that I wanted to enjoy because they were in the side room, and that room felt fucking miserable - even if I was just standing in there. I couldn't be the only one, as that room was fairly empty for most of the night. Which of course meant that EVERYONE was in the main room, so it felt really crowded. When the heat became too much, I would think getting air and smoking a cigarette would be a good way to unwind a little, but WRONG! There was no crowd control in the smoking section, which made it a clusterfuck and hassle to deal with. After Darude, the crowd cleared out a little bit and there was FINALLY hardcore in the main room, so the last 2 hours (sadface) kicked ass! There was a lot of good music played on Saturday (although didn't care for the electro), I just wished I could have enjoyed it more.
I didn't have a problem with folks from the punk show, except for a girl who smelled like a nasty homeless man coming up to me saying "*YOU* GOTTA HAVE DRUGS! DON'T YOU HAVE DRUGS?!?" But I just said "no." and walked away. *shrugs*

I had a helluva time. It was definitely hot, though, this is true.

I didn't experience any run-ins with punks personally, though I heard stories of it later. Silly punk kids can't handle them smiley happy ravers. Oh well.

I took pictures. You've prolly seen them.

Can't wait for the next one.

So, after I posted that, I felt like I was being too whiney, and so I started thinking about other parties that were really hot and why this one bothered me so much. I think with undergrounds that are hot and other permitted parties, it seems like there's usually a place to chill. Either outside, or near fans, or on couches/chairs somewhere. ss9 didn't really have that option. Like hell I was going to sit on that nasty floor haha

I guess I just don't like feeling trapped and claustrophobic and hot all at the same time

P.S. - I hate the sun, too haha

Fun party. ventilation sucked. they gave most of the fans to the punk show. LOL at them double booking a punkshow the same night. THATS FOR TRI-ATOM to do.

TOO HOR! Petruccio was good bit not that exciting, Donny's set blew my mind and I didn't see darude cuz well, it was too hot
