This event was absolutely amazing!
Music - The line up was simply perfect, with all the facets of psytrance represented. It was a nice change from what I feel has become an overly dark selection by many promoters. I truly enjoyed hearing only the best new music of every possible subset of psytrance instead of having it be the same for large blocks of time. In fact, even the old music was repped quite well by including an all vinyl set at the beginning.
(would have been realy sick to have Kri vs Kaiser Soze on 4 tech 12's from 1pm till 9 pm on sunday, but that can be next year!)
My personal favorites were Shapestatic and the fusion band. Everything else was SRSLY top notch, but those two were the ones that made me go "wow! are you hearing this?" to the random people next to me.
I had a BLAST playing my slot on saturday morning and I really enjoyed watching people get lured into the room and be smiling, then break out laughing when they finally realized that that melody in the background is Milli Vanilli or Megadeth, or whatever it was at the moment. It was really awesome to meet the couple from FL who had seen me play a few weeks before in SC. I really hope to see more parts of the country this summer. Nothing has been as rewarding to me as the psytrance experience.
Sound - It was a real shame that the power problems caused the right subs to fry out, but luckily the sound men were pros and handled the situation with grace and style. I can't even imagine the epic drama that would have ensued if this happened with the previous sound person. Even with the system being unbalanced due to missing speakers, Kurt was able to achieve a nice balanced sound that did not hurt the ears and offered a full range of frequency response. From an artists perspective, I truly appreciated working with a sound man that was there
FOR the music, not his own ego. When I was setting up my gear, he was there to ask what I needed to get an optimal signal to his system, and even went as far as to go find me a set of long XLRs to run me straight into his board instead of having me run an rca form my mixer/soundcard to the main DJ mixer the person currently playing was using. This showed extreme respect to both me and Aerosis, as he did not have to even break his concentration while someone fucked with the mixer. Over the weekend(I know this for a fact because I was on the dancefloor for 30+ hours) I saw each and every DJ/Artist get the same professional treatment either from Kurt or from one of his crew. Five stars.
Deco - Killer. Not sure where all the extra tapestries came from, but they were awesome. I'm assuming Kri and BSM? Either way, everything was top notch and done well. I REALLY enjoy that we now have our(yes, I am claiming the midwest as my home forev er, no matter where I may hang my hat) own UV graffiti artists.
Setup and Location - It's so very appropriate to have a psy scene that still has ties to our original world class rave scene. Coming back to NCN is like nothing else for me. I have been playing this venue since 1995 and it hold so many memories that I feel ready to explode when I let them overtake me. A good friend was seen crying his heart out upon being forced to get in the car and leave. A festival with a warehouse for the main stage is so perfect to me in so many ways that I cannot express how much I preferred being in the woods, but having a roof and a cement floor to dance on. No sprained ankles, no rain, no sunburn = winning. I cannot express properly how much I despise dancing on a hill. Polished concrete versus uneven ground is like a wall of bass vs monitors.
People - I feel really bad that I left the area to get away from the very small group of truly horrible people that were ruining the experience for me now that I realize how much I truly love the LARGE group of people that are responsible for there even being a positive experience to get ruined. Now that I have some perspective on it, I realize that there are horrible people everywhere, and what really matters is your collection of awesome people. I know that one day I will be coming home to the midwest to stay, but for a while, I think we will keep on broadening our horizons, as I don't think that if we come back right away, there's much chance of us seeing as much of the world.
Conclusion - Thank you, everyone. Anni and I are both recharged and ready for life again.

Great!
I am very happy you didn't get hit by the ugly storms we had here. They tore down and flooded quite a few things and even killed a couple of people. 
About those Facebook photos: ...interesting, I never imagined beer to be this big of a part of the psy sub-culture... |

What planet are you from? You don't dance indoors ever? Soft Carpet > Polished wood > Concrete > dirt > mud > anything involving a hill

hehe sorry Nate, indoors freak me out 
but i guess there must be strong reasons for indoor party (storms/inclement weather)...if my feetsies touch the soil/earth while dancing im reallly happy !!
but end of day all that matters is party went off smoothly !
@Maine Coon, forget beer and bring on the box wine hehehe

I think if people really had a problem with being inside, they would not live in the midwest.
Outside is something you see from the window, most of the time
