I like hearing the sound of my own voice. I like talking about myself and what I do. It's a gift, I know.

    Roger that lineup is almost too good to be true. I'm going to call it fake until I get a real proof.

    Amy are retarded or are you just THAT stupid? Langerado was NEVER about peaceful friendly vibes. Organizers wouldn't keep putting on the event if it wasn't making a profit. No one is that dumb to put on an event the size of Langerado and think "peaceful friendly vibes" are going to pay the bills. Take that hippie bullshit somewhere else, no one is buying it.

    ALSO, if you knew anything about Langerado you'd know that the model of having a show in a urban setting near additional venues for late shows was the old model before it turned to the dirty hippie fest it was last year. If anything, the festival is going back to its roots just on a bigger scale.

    How about you wait to see what organizers have in store before you start calling sell out. You don't even know who the fuck is playing.

    I think the great deals you can find in Downtown right now has a lot to do why they are filling up quickly. I'll tell you, I was walking around Downtown one Saturday at 2 p.m. and there were actually people walking around -- and they weren't homeless! They were yuppies! I don't know where they were going seeing how nothing was open.

    oh and too add one more note: the whole culture was never about anything greater than partying, something i never had a problem with. its when the material and physical measures started to become more prominent did i start having a problem. and i don't think anyone should expect a culture born our of the party scene to be anything greater than that: a party scene.

    Billermo: I meant to say the "image" (typo). And at 18 I was in college studying., my party lifestyle came after I graduated college at the age of 22. What am I talking about is where did it go wrong. When did we stop caring about the actual party and start caring what each other looked like? Who are we trying to impress? And I hardly encompass anything the hipster trend holds in high regard (certainly not the strong emphasis fashion or esteem to seem more important than I actually am). And if you actually knew me, you'd know that. If anything, I figured out at 23, the whole scene was something I could exploit for my own financial gain (and I have the balls to admit it). And look at me now :)

    And billermo you can think of me whatever way you want to think of me as, if "hipster" is your definition, so be it. Then again can't think you know me very well. I find it funny that people think because they read my blogs, that they think they know anything about me on any level, like the character "Duran" is not but an exaggerated version of myself.

    Ugh, I've been complaining about this shit for a while. I do still think Poplife attracts a wide variety of intellects, but it seems like the new wave of kids are taking this "hipster-dom" thing WAAAAAAAAY too seriously. I do feel like the "hipster" scene in Miami is drastically different from NY or LA's but the underlying "too-cool-for-you" attitude is still there.

    I miss the good old days, when it was just about dancing, getting drunk and doing a lot of coke. What happened to those days? When did the imagine one projects trump just having fun?
