(Too bad a $20 million deal T.V. isn't likely to be in your future, though, 'cause you could use it.) Click here for other signs

Two rooms of hip-hop and house madness. Whoever put all these DJs in the same venue is brilliant yet insane. Do they find amusement in watching people dance between the hip-hop room and house room all night? I mean c’mon it’s distracting- all these DJs are fantastic. It’s much better when all the good DJs are in one room and the lame DJs are in the other but here you don’t have that option. Sorry.Event: Devotion

Maybe bring a cot to take a nap on the deck or something because you will not want to miss Ricky Morrison from the UK or Luis Radio from Rome do the deep house thing they are famous for all over the world. I know that Memorial Day is all about remembrance of those who fought for our country BUT those crazy Devotion partiers make a mockery of the word “Memorial” as no one is going to remember their own name after partying that hard.Event: Hot Hair Care
