    So there isn't a separate line for presales at Surrender? They just bunch you in with GA?

    And no real shock that people weren't into Eric Prydz. A house legend. Most of these hipsters only know who Tiesto, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Afrojack and Kaskade are. SMH

      Yeah, I showed my ticket to the staff and they just told me to go the back of the line.

      After we got through that main line they split us into separate lines for GA and tickets.

      As I was leaving Surrender, I encountered a couple of young women. Different women, and one had a guy with her. The blonde with the guy asked if she could touch my ponytail. Both women pulled on it, and petted it. This is not a euphemism for anything, I have long hair that I always tie back in a ponytail when I go out. I thought it was weird. The blonde with the guy looked good(20's), but her friend looked like she was pushing 50.

        So did you leave Surrender because it was boring? Wasn't your vibe or what?

          It was a combination of a poor vibe, and me not having my earplugs. I just can't handle loud noises without them. Movies are no problem, but any kind of club or arena show is too much for me. I had some Monday at Marquee and I was fine.

            I'm into the music more than the drinking most of the time. So I like to be in the dancefloor or at least within the club where the loud music is. The speakers outside Surrender arent really that loud. It somewhat feels almost like background noise to me when I'm outside.
            So when I'm inside, I'm totally into it and so is most of everyone in there(most of the time). But the way Surrender is setup, you really only feel like you're part of the club if you're within that dancefloor or at least in the border of that room. Once you walk out where the temporary walls are opened up, everyone isnt really dancing or into the music. You see so many people just sitting on the planters and staring at other people. I've been up at the cabanas up at the 2nd floor on a club night and the vibe isnt there for me. The music just isnt that loud enough and you feel secluded.

            Basically I know the feeling you had about people not really looking like theyre into it. IF you see that, the way I look at it is that a majority of the people arent really house fans. So if its not the well known DJs, theyre just whatever to it. I just go to Surrender to mix it up and not get burnt out of the other clubs. Marquee is my home haha. Just have to visit Surrender and XS once in a while.

              Dude, don't forget your earplugs and blow it up this weekend! Also, take care of that one kidney. You'll need it in Vegas.

                Eric Prydz is a frikin legend! Such a shame that he's touring in the states finally and didnt get a proper welcome in Vegas. By far one of the best DJ's, easily tops some of the "big names". Would've loved to see him live!

                  The post about Thursday may be delayed some, as I'm getting ready to go to day one of the UFC Fan Expo at Mandalay Bay. Needless to say, Thursday was a lot of fun.
