forever a cool cat
About some time in April I decided that my obsession with Ed Banger needs to be recognized. I decided to get So-Me's design of a Cool Cat embedded onto my arm forever and it was the most scariest and painful situation I've ever been in. Their music means so much to me because I was introduced to it at a time in my life where I guess I finally felt like I fit in. It was my escape to listen to the varies mixes by Justice, Busy P and Mr. Oizo.
my hobbies include, writing, dancing, watching holy ship videos & crying
IDK if you all have seen it or not but the Holy Ship lineups have been released.
(I know I am a l i t t l e late but whatevz) and that's right lineup(S).
(I know I am a l i t t l e late but whatevz) and that's right lineup(S).
I'm just going to let the lineup speak for itself
Personally, I start screeching every time anyone even MENTIONS this saintly ship. And then I start to cry inside because this party literally keeps getting more and more exclusive as the years pass by. I would sell one of my kidneys to attend February sailing, but that's just my crazy ed banger/bromance records fangirl talking. You won't find me on this ship but you will find me roaming through the Whitter Festival Grounds August 2nd & 3rd for Hard Summer =^-^=
What living in Vegas has taught me - a guide on how to survive clubbing
So I have been living in Las Vegas for about a year now and can you BELIEVE I am s t i l l here? Well yeah, thanks to sunscreen, my savings account, water, and smoothies. But let me tell you what I learned from living here so far, what NOT to do and how to make your Vegas life/trip/rendezvous A LOT easier. I am still learning what this city has to offer, with that being said be safe my little party monsters! xoxo
1. Pre-game accordingly. DO NOT GO OUT TO A BAR THEN CLUB. you will be stuck at the bar for god knows how long and we don't want that. the mission is THE CLUB. so grab a bottle and swig it like you did in high school.
2. Don't pregame TOO much, please. if youre a girl most likely you can either A) get drink tickets or B) find an Arabian billionaire to buy you and your girls a round. If all else fails, ALL clubs in Vegas have in's and out's. So you can leave, go to the car/room and take a couple more shots before the main DJ goes on. JUST DON'T FORGET TO GET A STAMP ON YOUR WAY OUT.
3. If you are driving to the club and meeting friends there, for the love of god park in self - parking preferably the top floor of self parking. it's easy to remember and you can EASILY find your friends before you all make your grand entrance.
4. If you are party fiend and want to go to more than one club a night, it is possible. Let's say you want to go to 2 clubs. One of which your friend has a table at (free drinks aka bottle lingerer, it's ok we are all lingerers) and the other club your favorite DJ is playing. Go to the club in which your favorite DJ is playing first, and go EARLY then leave but dont forget your stamp. Then head over to the free table club, drink and whatnot then head over to the other club, skip that long ass line of thots waiting to get in and WHAM.
5. Never, I mean N E V E R wear heels unless you are a Greek goddess with supernatural powers. You can't go wrong with cute flats, honestly. The only time I have ever worn heels was my first night in Vegas in which I took them off mid-dance floor and while dancing with a babe he looked down and saw my bare feet covered in confetti, not cute and embarrassing.
6. Guys will try and grind on you. And it will be annoying. When I usually feel some creepo's bulge I freeze, take out a cigarette and blow the smoke in their direction with an extreme bitch face. Works every time.
7. If you fangirl over DJ's it's TOTALLY easy to actually meet them depending on the club. You have to linger and be fast. KNOW YOUR EXITS AND ENTRANCES.
8. You can smoke INSIDE the club, crazy right?? Now watch where you point your cigarette you don't want to burn a babe.
9. Don't buy drinks at the club unless you want to be full of regret in the morning. Seriously. Drinks at a Las Vegas club do not go below $11
10. You are going to meet people that you will never talk to again, mostly because they are from Idaho or whatever. Make up a name, have FUN with it. You are in Vegas after all.

TOP 5 FAVORITE VEGAS NIGHTCLUBS & WHY
1. SURRENDER ( ENCORE)
Partly, because it's half indoors half outdoors and because it's one of the VERY FEW places where you dont have spend 5 grand just to sit down. Plus its free vodka and champagne for ladies 10pm-1am.
This is also the number one spot where it is almost a guarantee that you can meet the DJ.
(Also very similar to XS)
2. LIGHT ( MANDALAY BAY)
This was the first club I ever went to in Vegas, It was also the most newest edition. It's very spacious on the sides, AVOID THE BACK OF THE CLUB BY ALL MEANS. It only has 2 bars which is kind of meh but over all, the performers, and entire show that comes with the club IS AH-MAZING
3. MARQUEE (COSMOPOLITAN)
I love this club mostly because it attracts the hottest babes. There is something about Marquee that it's just the mecca of hot guys and girls. Oh, the music is pretty amazing too. It follows a similar layout to that of Surrender and XS. Inside and outside area. More room to frolock with the babes!
4. HAKKASAN (MGM GRAND)
LET ME TELL YOU. Some of the BEST nights have been spent at this little gem inside the MGM. If you are looking to completely rage and forget everything I suggest Hakkasan. This mega structure makes me feel like I'm at EDC again. The is absolutely NO free seats, no drink tickets, it's kind of exclusive if you don't prepare ahead of time. But the sound quality and the energy these DJ's give out every night is worth the stress. TRUST.
5. TUESDAYS @ HYDE (BELLAGIO)
This is one of my favorite locals night. Even though the club is SUPER tiny, given it's location (right in front of the Bellagio's dancing water fountains) it's pretty epic. They give away TONS of drink tickets, some of them are even good to order WHATEVER drink at the bar (shot, mixed drink, etc.) The DJ usually spins a little bit of everything from, EDM, Hip-Hop, and Old School.

Mysterland VS EDC NY
As of today both Mysteryland USA and EDC New York released their lineups. Which just so happens as BOTH of these outstanding festivals land on the same weekend, Memorial Day weekend AND in or around New York. The question is, which one will YOU be at? Let's break it down.
Mysteryland has been around for quite a while with its original home being in Chile. This is also the very first time Mysteryland is being brought to the states and at the historic '69 Woodstock site. HOW AWESOME WOULD IT BE TO PARTY ON THE SAME GROUND AS THE HIPPIES?? With the production looking like a miniature Tomorrowland and people from around the world planning to attend it makes the decision harder for festival goers. Now let me tell you, the lineup is nothing short of AH AH AMAZING. With the amazing talented Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Fedde Le Grand, Showtek, Chase & Status, Moby, & Kaskade. To also add an EXTRA punch of music if not already knocked the fuck out they added "The Sound of Q-Dance" for all you hardstyle fiends craving a faster BPM. With artists like Noisecontrollers & Wildstylez this festival sure has me sold with just that stage. And did I mention that there is onsite camping??YEAH. The dates for Mysteryland are May 23-26 but the actual festival will be May 24 & 25. Festival hours are from 12PM-2AM both Saturday & Sunday, kind of a bummer considering most of the fun takes place in the wee hours of the night (right?). GA passes are $199, then $219. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Now onto Electric Daisy Carnival New York. EDC NY will be continuing it's home at the MetLife Stadium which isn't REALLY in New York but in New Jersey (LOL). The lineup contains some of the scenes pioneering artists like Afrojack, Sander Van Doorn, Headhunterz, John Digweed, Calvin Harris, & Boys Noize. And that's not even the HALF of it. YES, there WILL be carnival rides for all you adrenaline junkies. Now EDC NY doesn't have the onsite camping. GA passes start at $213 and the festival hours are from 12PM-11PM. Just 2 hours short of Mysteryland.

Now to make a decision...personally I think I would rather make the trip out to Mysteryland simply because it's more "affordable", THEY FRIKEN HAVE CAMPING, it's a longer running festival in terms of the hours& days, and the lineup is way more diverse. But the decision lands on you my friend, either way whichever festival you choose to attend be safe and rave on little plur child.

HOLY SHIP! more like holy shit I wish I was there.
Yesterday Gary Richards, creator and owner of Hard Events announced the official dates, token info, and video of the aftermath that was the 3rd installment of HOLY SHIP! and let me just say that it looks like one hell of a party. For those of you who live under a rock, HOLY SHIP! is a 4 day festival on a BOAT which also later takes place on a private island in the Bahamas. Next years HOLY SHIP! is set to have not one but TWO sailings, one in January and the other in February. The "OG" Holy Shippers are able to purchase tickets within next week but "newcomers" have to register into a lottery that if chosen you can pre-book your cabin for next year. That exclusivity makes me want to infiltrate this ship EVEN MORE. I mean c'mon? who doesn't want to be stuck on a ship for 4 days with Dillon Francis, ZEDD, Brodinski, Alvin Risk, Baauer, and Duck Sauce?? I would DIE. But don't take my word for it, watch the official recap video while crying and promising yourself that you will go next year. Here are some pictures from last year and the years before of this saintly ship party.

Happy Birthday Ed Banger Records!
This frenchie filled record label is nothing short of amazing. Seriously. With Pedro Winter being the father of it all. This label includes Justice, Breakbot, SebastiAn, Mr. Oizo, Mr. Flash, Uffie, Cassius, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, Feadz, So-Me, & Krazy Baldhead. This party was thrown to celebrate the 10 crazy years that is Ed Banger. The Ed Banger 10th Anniversary party looks like a sexy festival with carnival games and foreign babes. But don't fret my young party goers, we CAN see it all live. They are streaming the entire festival on their YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/officialedrec).
Here below are the (confusing) set times of the artists playing.
