I'm not really sure if they've improved, but these types of events (I dunno if they're even called raves anymore) can be REALLY hit or miss. I went to Audiotistic in like 02 and probably another one too (I remember The Roots played at a number of them...00, 02, etc) and for one thing, the Orange Show sucks. It's hot, it's dirty, and it's not mapped out very well. I saw the Audio there with Outkast, The Roots, Mos Def, Kweli, and a bunch of others...and, while I stuck by the hip hop stage, you will run into little kids on drugs.

I must be old, cause I used to LOVE going to these things, and now you can't pay me to.

We'll see if I go...the only thing tipping the scales really is the fact The Roots don't tour out here much anymore with the Fallon thing.
