EZOO Survival Guide

       The line-up for Electric Zoo is epic.  There are countless people out there who would like to disagree with that statement, but they aren't focusing on those people who are going to be there.  These people are more focused on who ISN'T going to be there.
       Sure Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Avicii, Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia and many more aren't in the line-up, but so what?  There are enough amazing producers in the three days to absolutely melt your mind.
    
       No Armin? Go see Above and Beyond.
       No Afrojack? Go see Hardwell.
       No Deadmau5? Porter Robinson plays enough of Joel's tracks to get your fill.
       No SHM? Axwell is close enough, he'll play all of their songs.
       No Avicii? Let's keep it that way.  But if you really want to see a sellout go to Guetta.

       Who everyone wants to see is up to them.  It's entirely opinionated with what/who you like.  But my boys and I are in agreement (after weeks of debating) on who we're going to let grace our presence.  Honestly you don't have to get there when the gates open, I know that I won't be.  These are the producers and the times that we're going to stay to see them.

Dev 9:10-9:45

Skrillex 9:45-11:00

After Parties.... The night doesn't have to end at 11:00.
Not 100% necessary.  Honestly, almost all of the people who matter and have after parties are going to be preforming at EZoo anyways.  That being said, I will be going to Markus Shulz on Saturday.

SURVIVING ELECTRIC ZOO!!!!!!!
1. WATER!!! People drink it... Lots of it... And often.
2. Sunscreen.  If you want to look like a lobster that's on you.  But I have no intentions to be bright red.
3. Sleep. It's pretty hard to doze off in the middle of Skrillex but if you are running on 3 hours of sleep it might end up happening.
4. GET FACEPAINT!!!!!!! If you don't then fuck you. But not really.....
5. Eat well.  Come on people, you're in New York.  There is anything that you can ever imagine.  If you're eating McDonalds  everyday there is something seriously wrong with you, and the people around you won't appreciate the stank.
6. Be with people you know.  It's pretty self explanatory.
7. Have a meet up point.  When you and your friends get there on Friday discuss where, if separated you all will meet.  I know that it could be tempting to lose one of your friends... we all know that guy.  But be the better person.  Imagine if it was you in the crowd of 80,000 people and you were alone... Shit would be scary.
8. Have a good time, and don't get caught... I know what's up.
9. Overall just use good judgement.
