The event also achieved a high level of publicity due to the media attention on it. Most of this attention were negatives as the media reported instances of drug abuse, nudity, and even few deaths which sent those at home into panic mode.

However, attendees at the event claimed the actual situation of things was better and safer than what was reported by the media. One of the attendees claimed that while there were people selling acid, pot, and hash, he didn't see heroin, cocaine or anything similar.
