Electric Jam

Yeah yeah, so you already know I am excited to go to Ultra if you’ve read my earlier posts. But I can’t help but notice how people are starting to act now that the music festival is only a week away. On more than one occasion it seems like some people are legitimately obsessed with Ultra. When just mentioning the name of the concert, kids start spazzing out like some sort of ex-addict on severe relapse. I don’t mean to say this with any malevolent undertone but these kids are seriously wigging out. They keep listening to the Mega-Mix and daydreaming up all of the things they’re going to do at the event. My question is: Is this hype like Fo-Real fo-real? How is it that an electronic music festival can evoke such deep emotions in young attendees? I personally blame ignorance (because it is always easy to draw fond memories up from an event you hardly remember in the first place.) To be completely honest though, I am a little jittery thinking about Ultra; having said this, I have ignored the Mega-Mix and other forms of Ultra-Tribute to allow myself peace of mind, knowing I won’t be THAT guy…
