[divider]Day Two: Saturday[/divider]
The rising sun on Day Two of Diso was much warmer than the sun on Day One. Those who had drank more than their fair share of alcohol the night before hurried to imbibe as much water as time would allow.
But then, there came the lines. They were pretty long the first day, but far worse the second day. Live Nation security was insanely thorough in doing security checks. While we are grateful for safety, the amount of time it took was still incredibly alarming. There were several people who passed out while waiting in line from heat strokes. Waiting with little or no water under the pounding sun was the lowest point in the weekend for many Diso goers, but we made it in to enjoy the second day eventually.

Late Night Alumni, Tritonal, and Liquid Stranger were amazing. Mat Zo played us a super deep trance set Alvin Risk sang to us live. Seven Lions, Zomboy, Aly & Fila were wonderful, and Zedd impressed us with a light show that was beyond our wildest dreams.
Zedd, energized with the power of the crowd.

After night two ended, we padded back on tired, dirty feet to our campsites. We smiled as we wandered the trail back to our campsites, thinking about the two days that had passed, so magical and fundamentally different from most days of our lives. The next morning would find people headed home early, most to rest as much as possible on the other side of the mountains.
Despite a few hiccups, Paradiso 2014 was a raging success overall. The gorge provided a stunning backdrop for a wonderful summer party, and we can’t wait to see what is in store for us in 2015.
