It’s now EDC Week in Las Vegas, officially

So, we were thinking just now: If you had to pinpoint the exact moment that, after moving to Las Vegas, you realized that you had set up shop in exactly the right city, could you?

And, no, we’re not talking about the first time you discovered that you could march up and down main street double-fisting PBR tallboys without getting all sideways with Johnny law — although that was pretty momentous, too.

No, no, we’re talking about that one time last night, when a bunch of really official-looking city officials decreed that an entire week be named after you. You know, they even had a fancy-schmancy plaque made with your name on it and everything. And then they braved the searing flames of the fiery furnace otherwise known as June around here to present it to you at a ceremony on Las Vegas Boulevard, in your honor. Remember?

And, then, to commemorate the moment — mostly so you’d have something cool to post on Instagram for your friends back home — you got the chance to pose with your plaque, flanked by people in pink Afros and clown regalia, next to a giant, adorable, fuzzy green monster and somebody holding up your oversized logo. In front of the world famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign!

Now, THAT’S when you knew Vegas was agreeing with you, am I right?

What’s that? Oh, right. Really? You sure? Hold on … let us just check something here … . Hmm … OK, seems you’re right. Sorry about that. Turns out, that wasn’t you after all. Our bad. That was Pasquale Rotella, the guy from Insomniac Presents, who puts on Electric Daisy Carnival. Easy mix-up. You guys kind of look alike.

Anyhow, listen, since we’re flapping our gums here, he’s the dude in front, obviously, holding up the plaque. The Clark County Commissioners — represented at the ceremony by Steve Sisolak, Lawrence Weekly and Larry Brown — evidently declared this week “EDC Week” in honor of, well, EDC, this edition of the festival, more specifically, which marks the event’s fifth year in Las Vegas.

Five years? That calls for a drink. Grab a us a tallboy, will ya?
