Urgent rush for the dead alien

Halloween at the HARD Haunted Mansion brought out the big guns for L.A.’s all-age night walkers and candy ravers. The sold-out event was held at the historic Shrine Auditorium, a landmark event venue and home to many of Hollywood’s Emmy and Grammy award shows. But last night the HARD dance promoters threw down one of the best Halloween parties in L.A. this year, a piercing electro-charged DJ dance party with sets from Justice, Basement Jaxx, Soulwax, Buraka Som Sistema, Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, and more. Even the smog was neon.

Austin City Limits Music Festival quickly went from how it should have been (perfect weather, brand new grass, incredible talent), to the mean monsoon that stormed across Austin on October 3rd, 2009.

Day 2 marked the uncomfortable transformation to the worst swamp any of us had ever seen. When we think of ACL this year, we think of trench foot, water boarding, gangrene, and the muddy slip and slide that became Zilker Park’s brand new grassy acres. We think of drummers shrouded in plastic tarps, and expensive camera gear getting duped. Also to note, Zilker park is fertilized with some form of modified treated swamp water, so when people’s shoes got stuck in the mud and were sliding on their underbellies down the oozing sludge, they were also sliding through some form of human feces.
