Guest dovla Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 The festival has ended and most people have mixed feelings about it, some of you undoubtedly had a great time while others were very disappointed. We wish to thank everyone for their support and apologize to those of you who weren't satisfied. Since this was the first festival we ever made there were bound to be problems, but since we knew that in advance we decided to make the entrance fee as low as possible and we made sure all the foreign DJs and live acts would appear as they did. To sum everything up, there were around 600-700 people at the festival and we barely managed to cover up all of the expenses. Some of the problems we had were the lack of water, but there are large droughts and wood fires currently in Croatia and water reductions are being made everywhere. Also most of the workshops weren't held because of the lack of interest. One other thing we really want to state is that our sponsors Red Bull screwed us up, they're a bunch of unprofessional assholes and we urge you not to buy their drinks anymore because it contains that crappy stuff which leaves the taste in your mouth and makes you buy more of it. We will make the festival a tradition and hopefully make a much bigger and better one next year but on a different location since we also had problems with the local police. A special multimedia CD is in the making with pictures and videos from the festival and we will distribute it for free and you can also expect a gallery at this website. A special thank you also goes to Peter, Emok and Dimitri for putting on extra large sets instead of local DJs who didn't appear and a thank you to all the other foreign artists that came. We sincerely hope everything was made to your liking, if not, please accept our apologies. A thank you note also goes to our sponsors' Lasko Pivo for their beer and Horfam d.o.o. for donating us the UV lights, and of course the Croatian ministry of culture and the Croatian national tourist board. The festival would not have been realized without them. In the name of our main organizer Sheki and the whole underwater overground crew we thank all of you who were there to support our small trance scene and hope that we'll see you again next year. np shuma - ventil ;-) Dovla Underwater Overground Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest green mouse Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 hm...it always is unpleasant to learn about a festival after it has happened....are you guys planning to do it next year also? cause I have been wanting to go to Croatia forever! In general I want to check up Eastern Europe, before it gets too westernized...a festival could be a good excuse to do so....anyways, how is the party scene there? Probably very nice and intimate, not too big, e? smiles and greetings, the mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dovla Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 we're doing it again next year for sure man! The trance scene is really small here plus there was a big techno party at the same time which had all the biggest techno names and mtv was the sponsor so we obviously couldn't get much of the people there. But we're not gonna give up so easily! cya next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest malcolmx Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 had a good time there! thanx for thre party! magical surrounding!!! good choice really!! only complaint: dancefloor full of rocks. wouldnt have taken more than 30 mins 2 clear it up with a proper machine.... and nobody was really in2 dance in none of the nights. but as we ourselves found out the hard way, it wasn't the party ppl's fault. It was those israeli bodybuilders who managed to fool the whole local " community" with their false pillz ... instead of mdma they musta contained some i dunno what...u just crashed out after half a hour :-((((((((. Beware, these guys are going 2 samothraki too!!! it was cool tho!!wanna b there next year too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
