text: Better than last year especially traffic However NEVER as good as my previous memories of the last EDC in Los Angeles in nnThey opened the i Freeway this year and if you were smart you would drive on I North from The Strip for or so miles and get off at Speedway Boulevard Stay on the far right lane and make a right Then make a immediate left and park in the FIRST row of the parking lot nnIf the metro cops guided you to the middle lane drive ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK of the pathway and then ALL THE WAY TO THE PORTOJOHNS when it loops around Then ignore those parking guide employees drive through the gap in the concrete barricades make a sharp left and then a sharp right through the nd barricade and you will be at the SAME spot See the photo in the tip I left for this years EDC and you know where you SHOULD be at so you would not be in a traffic jam for any longer than minutes before you hit the freeway nnNow why did I say this was not as good as EDC LA Well it is nothing wrong with the music I will assure you that nnIts the vibe nnCalifornians are so much nicer and with much better mota and dirt cheap rolls for one But that is not the centerpiece of my argument Californians just have a better sense of community I say Yeah I do know that their daily commute is a bunch of vulgar hand signals and Mad Max Road Warrior road rage but they are more open as people you knownnAfter my uh experience ended roughly five hours after entering for Friday Saturday and Sunday I was walking from stage to stage smelling for some good stuff When I found some I offered them a dollar for a hit and they offered me a whole lot more DnnBut then it went all dry after AMnnEven with Vegas being a five hour drive from LA it seems like these people coming in from all across the nation are a lot more douchier than what I am accustomed to I saw TWO incidents of domestic violence before my eyes during the middle of Friday nnIn Los Angeles I would say statistically there was a lot more violence every year until it got banned from USC Coliseum However Californians have their own way of dealing with things Basically fight bare handed and leave the scene regardless of whether you won or lost I personally like that kind of politics more D
