Day for Night Festival

sometimes i guess they need to overlap stuff so huge masses of people don't bump into each other when moving to another act especially on big festivals.

i almost got crushed once with my m8es cause everyone was moving to see the next acts, 1000 of people got stuck like sardines for 20minutes, people pushing, girls and guys on drugs freakin out, i tell you it wasn't pretty

squarepusher and 8minutes of bjork would be ok for me

I've been known to go down stampede video rabbit holes on bestgore and liveleak. Football matches, night clubs, concerts, etc. It's hard to imagine anything more terrifying. I read that large crowds behave just like fluids from a physics standpoint so it's like drowning in a sea of flesh.

 

I read a reddit post about that once, insane stuff.

There was a 30 for 30 about the Hillsborough disaster that is def worth a watch. What's incredible about that one is it was a huge disaster yet statistically is one the smaller side in terms of the worst stampedes ever.

i read a pretty interesting comment on reddit about some dude who did research about massive crowds. it's kinda scary how when a bunch of humans are packed in a venue, they react like water.

oh snap, beat me to it!

good read though.

Just to make everyone feel better, the Barbara Jordan Post Office is the venue, a spacious climate controlled facility that was just renovated this year. This isn't some storage space but a properly designed modern and formally Federally owned building. Likewise it would have had to pass a lot of permits and codes to become an entertainment center in a city like Houston. If this was at an abandoned hanger or warehouse in rural Texas I'd worry but this is completely different.

Bunch of pics of it here.

Yeah I don't do the Twitters so hopefully this thread too I guess

 

Yeah, I'll post to this thread as well via Tapatalk

I'm thinking of doing a collaborative google drive spreadsheet with:

twitter handle + WATMM member name + optional / additional info (attire / real first name / degree of neckbeardage / etc)

mine is fairly easy: 

@joshuatx (lo-fi high five) + joshuatx + (ex. flannel shirt, joshua [duh lol], 'stache, w/ waifu)

Would that be helpful?

Must meet up Joshua and Adieu!

Cross RDJ with Van Gough and you'll get me, wearing a homemade unique syro-color-7\-logo-on-black T or maybe my homemade Ae 2015 tour  T

There really is only one - Goode Company BBQ. The closest to Downtown Houston would be the Kirby St. Location:

I too, will only be there on Saturday night. Not sure yet what time I will show up, nor leave.

We really are known for our food down here, so if you are looking for a particular kind of food and need a recommendation, I'd be happy to offer my humble suggestions.

The Brisket House is pretty legit.

Bit out of the way but some of the best BBQ I've had in a while...

Well I was thinking BBQ but I've got two meals to burn (Sat early dinner and brunch/lunch on Sunday).  I'll be Ubering though so relatively convenient to airport and/or downtown is a plus.  I'm open to suggestions on any must-go places.

Hmm, it's not on these lists, although admittedly seemingly most are not conveniently located.

Brisket House is on both lists.
