Freedom Festival 2006

Hey raize, if you talk to anyone from Stealth Entertainment, can you find out if they found any cell phones lying around? I lost my silver Samsung flip phone while there. I emailed [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] but I'm not sure if that is still being checked regularly. Just post back here or have them email me at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

No cell was found but a 2000.00 dollar projector was stolen along with a 1000 dollar video camera so I wouldnt expect anyone to give it back.Plur is dead.

Seeing as how none of the promoters were there when the sun came up, I don't see how a promoter could be upset that shit got stolen. Don't blame others for the "death of Plur"...

I was there when the sun came up,so I dont really understand what that has to do with things being stolen.What I mean by "the death of plur" is parties used to be a place where you could put down your bag and dance for two hours and come back and it would still be there.It seems now that this scene is like ever other one out there.Everyone out for themselves and nothing more.maybe its always been that way and I have been completely delusional.Probably a little of both.

I ran the show after you left man(and i had nothing to do with the show, other than the fact i did promo), i did it because of the respect and love i have for this scene.....i didn't steal anything...i understand your frustration, but there are still some of us left that aren't jaded assholes and at the same time aren't stupid loved out e-tards. sorry things happened the way they did

I really appreciate what you did for us bro.Jon told me what went down and It didnt go unnoticed.I started getting violent threats about 1:00am ,so I was advised I should leave the festival grounds until things cooled off.You are a rare breed though my friend, because the majority could give a shit.I hope you and the few out there can carry this scene.You are the future of this scene and you have your work cut out for ya.As for my old ass,I will be at the beach trying to forget this shit ever went down(after I pay off the 35,000 in debt I acquired for the night,and the 65,000 dollar loan I have to pay back)Keep it up man and I hope your generation can keep this thing going.Thanks again for the love and support.

Hey, I didn't mean to come off as an asshole. I was just a frustrated as you at that party. I sat there "gaurding" the backstage area while Alex ran around making sure that the music stayed on. I understand that you tried to throw an amazing party and have everything go smoothly. The party itself was one of the best setups I've seen in ohio. The only thing it lacked was people. Sorry about the situation, I was just pissed at the time because I didn't really understand exactely what you went through. So, keep making moves and shit will work out. I know this might sound petty in retrospect...but I had an amazing time. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the love.I hope you guys keep this thing going for the future kids.and you had every right to be confused and frustrated.We fucked up not having enough "friends" before we even tried this thing.It was my mistake and I thank you for the help.Keep it up and I wish you guys in the midwest luck for the future of the edm scene.Be careful dear friends, these are trying times.

I really appricate the kind words Jeff... I said this before and i'll say it again, i wish that me and Jon could have been in contact with you so much earlier, in the planning phases of Freedom Fest, maybe we could have helped more and made things go differently. With you GSP and Clockwerk all involed who knows?
Any chance you will be attending Nocturnal Wonderland in San Bernardino on labor day weekend? The Clockwerk crew is coming out to LA for it, we would love to see ya there. Peace and good luck.

[raize13]

Ill be at Nocturnal for sure.We can set up a meeting spot and maybe I can show you some parts of La that not many people see.I really wish we would have got together before as well.I am a very paranoid person so I always try to do everything on my own,which in this case was a very bad idea.Oh well live and learn.I know i learned some real valuable lessons.Never use your own personal money to finance an event.Very ,very bad idea
