anybody went there? Any objective feed-back..?

yep it was dope music but people had no shortage of complaints about the event: you could only drink in one area at the back of the hall, cans of beer were $60 and vodka mixes $80, no smoking allowed, the quality of the mixing was variable, people had to enter through one way and exit via another etc .... perhaps most of these complains are due to hitec's restrictions, i don't know

but the ed banger crew were super fun and upbeat. they didn't seem to drop much fresh new sh*t, but caned the electro sound they're known for, and with a good sense of humour too. most people enjoyed uffie's set, even though she was a little messy

we were happy that we went. others weren't, but you can't please everyone right?
