Lights allowed in?
  • mailandomailando July 2010

    Are glowsticks and gloves gonna be banned? I mean I know some people dont want the "rave" vibe at HARD, but would they go as far as just banning lightup/glow accessories completely?

  • ZameerZameer July 2010

    from what ive heard, yes, gloves and glowsticks are banned

    =/

  • mailandomailando July 2010

    Was it ever clearly stated or is it all hearsay at the moment? ):

  • onesixloveonesixlove July 2010

    "Please leave these items at home: backpacks, oversized purses, dolls, toys, plush items, glow sticks, candy, blankets, professional cameras, video cameras, weapons, glass, bottles, food, beverages, and open cigarette packs. Listed items will not be permitted. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone."

    dunno why they are restricting so many things...
    its like all the usual restricted things + everything related to ravers lol

  • ChristinaChristina July 2010

    @onesixlove HARD wants to distance themselves from the rolling raver scene but go to a HARD show and you dont see much of über ravers anyways. but i dont know if candy refers to actual candy or like "kandi" beads stuff haha

  • onesixloveonesixlove July 2010

    yeahh i went to hard before, and i thought i saw in a post before it was about kandi but then destructo said it was allowed now. and i also know hard doesnt wanna be related to raves but look at hard haunted! that was definately a rave lol and its like the best event they have! i dont see why destructo hates the title of raves so much :(

  • ChristinaChristina July 2010

    @onesixlove probably now because of the fallout from EDC. who wouldnt want to distance themselves from raves after that? i mean, the LAPD and the city have been shutting down a lot of parties that have been promoting themselves as raves. i quote from one such promoter that the LAPD have " made it clear how serious [they are about] cracking down and making sure what happened at EDC won't happen again." which you got to admit makes sense after seeing that fence rushing video plus all the extremely negative media coverage from that girl's death

  • mailandomailando July 2010

    @onesixlove Hard is close enough to a rave in a nonraver's *COUGHLAPDCOUGH* eyes to be seen as just another "rave". Means it'll prob get just as much shit from them ):

    @Christina Probably means kandi after seeing the other stuff on the banned list. +there's still a chance police will try to shut it down after 10 since it isnt 18+!

    I guess I'll look into some lowkey lightup accessories or ways to hide glowsticks on me xD

  • ZameerZameer July 2010

    @mailando

    the thing is with that, is if you take it in i think security would see it and probably take it away no? i was thinking about sneaking gloves in but i figured they'd get taken away.

    whatever. im still gonna have an emazing time =]

  • mailandomailando July 2010

    12hours of nonstop awesomeness (:

  • tomoyopoptomoyopop July 2010

    Ok, so no glowsticks and light gloves allowed... but what about regular, simple glow-in-the-dark bracelets (NOT kandi) and necklaces? Would those fall under the "glowstick" category?

  • ChristinaChristina July 2010

    @tomoyopop probably most likely.

    @zameer holla!

    @mailando that would suuuuuck if they shut it down. but i think HARD will pull this one off. even though 18+ would be nice (if anyone went to audiotistic, you'll know what im talking about!)

  • caonashicaonashi July 2010

    I've emailed hardfest and they answered my other questions, but regarding kandi and lights they've ignored it twice.

    It's my first HARD event, so I'm wondering if HARD summer normally would have lightshows? Everyone's mentioned how its trying to be different from a rave, and I want to know how so.

  • KcNekroKcNekro July 2010

    NO LIGHT SHOWS @caonashi

    Raves feature trance and kids wearing beads from head to toe

    HARD features bass pumping electro and other genre's of dance music and people who like to party

  • onesixloveonesixlove July 2010

    so do raves lol

  • ChristinaChristina July 2010

    to be on the safe side, i wouldnt bring lights or kandi.

  • caonashicaonashi July 2010

    so you can't wear... bead bracelets or those bracelets? those are the most affordable accessories :( otherwise i'll look like what i do in between classes, lol.

  • ChristinaChristina July 2010

    lol you wouldnt want to wear kandi if you want to be dancing your ass off!!!

  • DarkHorseDarkHorse July 2010

    Hm, so security isn't gonna see you and be like, "Hey, those aren't allowed, give em to me!"?

  • YukiYuki July 2010

    They will. Lights, gloves, and other toys will be confiscated.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    @Yuki Right on. :)

  • DarkHorseDarkHorse August 2010

    yeah, that's what i was thinking, i mean, kinda sucks, but hey, it's not worth missing hard over you know? still gotta go and cut a rug!

  • polkadotwarpolkadotwar August 2010

    i dont understand why everyone is saying no light gloves, glow sticks, etc or "its not a rave" LMAOOOOO ive been to several hard events, its a fucking rave dude-tons of glowsticks, light gloves, half naked people, kandi and what have you. HOWEVER there is more of a "hipster" clubish partyish vibe as oppose to straight up raver status with ptots covered in kandi and cuddle puddles every corner you look. i guess its like a rave with a mature edge to it, which is what i prefer anyway.

  • DarkHorseDarkHorse August 2010

    Thank you polkadotwar. You've made me that much more excited for HARD

    (not being sarcastic btw)

  • onesixloveonesixlove August 2010

    lol

  • KcNekroKcNekro August 2010

    yeah I'm not a raver or a "hipster" (what the fuck is a hipster?)

    I'm more of a guy who just loves music and good times with friends and other party people

    what do you call that?

  • onesixloveonesixlove August 2010

    you look like a hipster lol

  • caonashicaonashi August 2010

    that's the gist i got, less highschoolers sounds like a good thing.

  • KcNekroKcNekro August 2010

    what the hell @onesixlove?
    is that like an insult or something?

    fo real whats a hipster? I keep thinking when you say hipster you mean like those assholes who dress to impress at the club

  • MattMatt August 2010

    A. its stupid.
    B. ITS 12 IN THE AFTERNOON.
    C. its not dark till 8:30.
    D ITS HARD!! ITS NOT FUCKING EDC!

  • blaaaaaahblaaaaaah August 2010

    @KcNekro it's pretty much someone who tries really hard to not be like everyone else.. like if everyone starts liking a certain band you liked before everyone else then youd start hating them. i think....

  • MattMatt August 2010

    @KcNekro @ SR_sunshine

    i think got a solution for you two IT'S CALLED THE WORLD WIDE WEB, INTERNET,GOOGLE! GOOGLE HAS THE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING!

  • blaaaaaahblaaaaaah August 2010

    @Matt i'm aware. i was just sharing my interpretation

  • MattMatt August 2010

    @SR_sunshine well kcnekro should have looked it up instead of being lazy. so sorry.

  • blaaaaaahblaaaaaah August 2010

    @matt mmm got ittt haha but yea no worriesss

  • KcNekroKcNekro August 2010

    haha damn I'm fuckin up!

    well I looked it up, sorry I didn't really think something like hipster should have made it to the world wide web but it did

    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hipster

    there it is "Hipster" I guess @onesixlove is kinda right I'm like 60 percent "hipster"

    idk if that's bad but fuck it haha
    I'm lame!

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    Actually a hipster is what we use to call emo kids or scene kids as they called themselves to make themselves feel better. Those are the people who have entered the EDM scene lately. A hipster/kandi kid/"sheep" is none other than a refurbished lost emo child.

    You know those kids who always wanted to fit into a group so they followed the crowd?

    Emo kids = the new hipsters, kandi kids, and posers.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    The main reason is because they use MTV and main stream media to decide what's cool and what's hip.

  • etardssucketardssuck August 2010

    they should let you allow lights theres like 2 hours of darkness then its done. sad but oh well

  • ChristinaChristina August 2010

    hipster3.jpg

    a hipster.

    or as urbandictionary has it: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hipster

  • KcNekroKcNekro August 2010

    fuck, well I'm no emo or scene kid, but that deffinition had me at the:

    "value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter"

    but still there's more to me than that so fuck that I ain't no hipster.

    I'm a fry cook. haha,

    I hope someone can catch on to that one....

  • clasher133clasher133 August 2010

    There will be lights people but this aint no rave!

  • BrandonsoesBrandonsoes August 2010

  • TheSheriffTheSheriff August 2010

    Pssshhh, there will be gloves and orbits in full effect. You know this.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    @Christina Yea, but the definition of HIPSTER in EDM is different.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    Ever since wongton started doing light show's every one else is. Fucking sheep.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    ... is starting to do light shows...

  • etardssucketardssuck August 2010

    who the fuck is wongton lol.. seriously hes not even that good

  • BrandonsoesBrandonsoes August 2010

    *Fixed*
    Ever since people started raving, people started giving lightshows.

  • BrandonsoesBrandonsoes August 2010

    How will you sneak them inn, im thinking boxers. I have this pocket thing. And i guessss i could fit my gloves in there. Gonna be pretty weird if security scoops me. It'd feel like i had a huge pad on.. .awekwarddd

  • so what happens when you get inside the venue with gloves and they see you? Will they confiscate it??

  • caonashicaonashi August 2010

    just because these people weren't the first people doesn't make them sheep. the people that just hopped on because of everyone else, now those are sheep. if you grabbed a pair and just went crazy with them in the dark like the youtube starwars kid, you would have an awesome time.

  • onesixloveonesixlove August 2010

    one of the admins said they will confiscate them but you just gotta be in a thick crowd kinda and make them kneel down whie you give them a show. thats what was goin on at hard

  • SonikSonik August 2010

    its during the day, why would you want or anybody want any fucking lights for like an hour or so stupid!
    maybe the after party if you find one.

  • bgkdumpzbgkdumpz August 2010

    either way people are going to sneak their gloves in regardless...

    well all know this aint no rave! people are going be on a good level. Thus, people wanting to bring lights to cater to that LEVEL...!

  • onesixloveonesixlove August 2010

    theres gonna be like 3 and a half hours of darkness. plenty of time

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    @Brandonseos Yap, it's really hard to type a good sentence after working a 12 hour shift. That's why I don't really care for grammatical errors and punctuation errors around this time. Yet, you did understand the message given didn't you?

    To every one else Wongton been giving light shows before all you kids. Give props to the man who got this trend going in Cali.

    @caonashi I rather not, I'm way over that phase. May be 4 years ago I would of done it, now... eh. Don't need to be running around with mickey mouse gloves that have lights on the finger tips to enjoy myself.

  • etardssucketardssuck August 2010

    wongton is one of the earlier glovers there were not that many people but still a decent few giving out shows in 06-07... he didnt bring the trend in bye himself at all.

  • JoshJosh August 2010

    @etardssuck He and his crew were pretty much who gave light shows at almost every single event they went to, but he was/is one of the best here in Cali. Name me a few people back in 07 and 08 who gave glove light shows.

    He's the only one I ever saw giving light shows back in 07 and 08.

    Give props to where it's due..
