Total fucking nightmare, right from the beginning.

- There was no order at all to the entrances, it was anarchy -- people climbing over walls and shit.

- Inside, nobody knew how to get down on the floor level. The staff were wall imbeciles, nobody could even tell you were the second stage was.

- Frustrated with the lack of access, some hooligans started jumping over the wall of the bleacher section and onto the floor.

- Fire marshall came in and caused some trouble, prompting the organizers to BEG people to sit down and back away from railings. Nearly everybody did but even 1.5 hours later the music still had not resumed.

- Riot police called in, rumors of a fatality.

- Finally, everybody noticed the sound guys packing up and Tweets and Texts from the outside said Underworld and Chromeo and the other artists had already left the building.

Total fucking FAIL.

My friends and I did the whole trek: Vegas, Oakland and back home to LA, and it was such a big deal to me to do this. I am crushed and furious. I'm embarrassed for my city.
