First of all: thank you thank you thank you RIZE for getting me on crew to take pictures on stage at the marquee!!! it was a great experience. I remember going to concerts there in my high school years, noticing photographers scuttle around near and on the stage, taking pictures of the performers. It is quite epic i had the opportunity to do this.

After this i really plan to more often contact promoters before events of this scale to be able to do this again. Most of the time contacting them ahead of time does not change anything at events where anyone can get onstage, but when events are held at venues like this, where security is strict on who gets on stage, having press passes will help.

i definitely enjoy this album. The wide crowd shots are quite epic. I enjoy quite a few of my DJ shots, but the lighting in the place was not used as effectively as i wish it was, and things could have been lit better at times. my flash died during the eProxy-Connection: keep-alive

nt (i REALLY need to start carrying extra double A batteries) but i left the venue to buy some down the road, then came back as quickly as possible.

Amazing job to all the talent that performed! Happy Hardcore is not much of my thing, but being able to watch and appreciate some of the top people in their genre is always a treat.

Amazing job to Darren Styles! It was great hearing him sing "Come Running" and "Save Me".

The wonderful thing about Kandieland events, is they keep on getting better, the venues keep getting larger and adequate for the growing crowd, the line-up's keep getting more epic. This series is the epitome of growth, bridge building, expansion, and the direction to positive growth for our scene. Keep on keeping on. Great job Cheddarcore & Best of Times.

i have not been to Marquee Theatre in years... It was interesting being in there again. Has not changed at all.

This event was pretty good, despite the club kid theme is definitely not my thing.

The pictures were pretty successful, i got a few good shots of some performers. I got some really cute shots of some friends. With this album i did not stray outside my circle of friends in my attendee images, but some of the images of them i think are pretty cute.

Since Forest was tired from his event the night before, being Out of the Ashes... we left fairly early. Which made me happy, i was kinda exhausted too.

This new venue seems ok, as long as it only used for one stage events. This event had both stages nearly pointing at each other. It is a one room venue, with a decent parkinglot. It probably will be used again, hopefully sparingly.
