Not a fan
by neveragain101010 on 11/4/14Fairplex At Pomona - PomonaThis was my first HARD event, I have been to many insomniac events, Beyond wonderland and EDC for example. The first thing that threw me off while arriving to this event is how strict and rude the security was. I understand for these events security needs to be there. But I have never been to an event where they literally had police dogs to intimidate people. They treated us all as if we were inmates entering prison. It made entering this event very uncomfortable and I felt much more violated than the security at the airport. The stages all looked the same with the same simple lights and set up, so we were constantly confused about which was the main stage. It did not at all compare to the production Insomniac events put on. Although Deadmau5 and Eric Prydz made the night at the end, I would've rather spent my money at Escape Wonderland (which was the same day) and easily had more fun. The stages played more Tupac and Biggie than any EDM for more than half of the event..I wish I had known this event is not about peace love and unity. Maybe that's why it's called "hard" because people were "hard"..there was no love or friendliness in the crowd. The vibes were just not for me or my crew. Very disappointed.
