This was the biggest show and festival that had ever been held at Midway in SF, so that is to say it was an impressive setup. A lot of new things that could have gone not too well, did go well, so kudos to everyone that was involved in the setup and made sure it ran smoothly. Honestly the only thing I noticed was that at some point there were enough people (the most Midway likely has ever had) that all the bathrooms were a bit insufficient for the crowd (and they brought extra), so I will call this a success :)
It was one of the longest days of the year, so we only had 90mn of darkness, and as usual, I made the best of it :)
But let's go back to the beginning, lots of sunlight, and thankfully it was actually quite nice and cool.
huge stage got setup in the street with daytime visible RGB Panels with holes to let the wind through
the inside of Midway got decked out
nice custom poster
a lot of anjunafam came early, and thankfully the weather was actually cool
hahah
Great to run into lots of friends as always:
The event also had multiple dancers and costumed performers:
and yes, this qualified as a festival, 3 rooms going at once:
We got a nice selection of DJs that played lovely trance for us, starting with Blur:
Next was elevven:
Ilan Bluestone was next:
Mor Avrahami came from Israel took over before above and beyond:
I tried to go check out the other rooms too:
And then Jono and Paavo from Above and Beyond finished the day, which hadn't turned into night yet (one of the longest days of the year):
After the regular party, there was an after party from 22:00 to 06:00, so plenty of partying for anyone who had the energy :)
Great job to everyone at midway who got this event running pretty flawlessly, thanks for the event!
