Alright lets hear em: Your craziest stories from WMC 2007
I have a few but I wanna hear some of yours first.
i saw more people oding this year than i ever have. fucking jackasses need to learn how to control themselves.
People breathing coke through their noses .. to be honest first time Ive seen that and so many times this time around.. kinda crazy for a Sober guy like me 
And I saw this everywhere. 
This isn't crazy in a wild party crazy way(maybe later 
), but crazy, nonetheless...
I was at Armin @ Pawnshop on Fri and was talking to the CG guys and Markus and some other people nearby... one of them happened to be a chill dude that works @ Crobar/Studio. Talked for about 10 minutes about various ish, he gave me his business card and told me to call up when back in NY to chill.
The next night, I was at pvd/sander and lost my phone... I was with a bunch of my friends and got seperated... they were texting me to no avail, since I lost my cell phone. However, someone found my cell phone and texted back that they had my phone and would gladly return it the next day. The next day, my friends went to pick up my phone for me since I didn't come home and was at Deep dish till later that day... so they meet up w/ him and pick up my phone.
When I come back from deep dish sunday afternoon, they told me how he was really cool, young guy from NY... and how he gave them tix to crobar/studio events and gave them his card and told them to call him when back in NY to meet up. All of this sounded very familiar to me so I said... hold on guys... let me see his card. They pull out the card as I pulled out the one I received the night before and lo and behold... the person I met at armin the night before was the same person who found my phone the next night at space!!!!
What the fuck are the chances of that?????????? needless to say I called him up to thank him, he was flipping out at the circumstances, as were my friends... crazy.

Alright here is my first.
I didn't see this first hand but it was so funny when I heard it I have to share it.
Sunday School for degenerates: My friends were dancing outside and said some guy comes walking through the crowd with white shit all over his face. They thought the guy was doing it as a joke because it was covering his whole face. So they started pointing at him and showing everybody else. The guy's friend notices that everybody is laughing at his friend so he looks him in the face and starts balling......he was like "holy fucking shit bro, did you get any up your nose or did you like rub the entire bag all over your face."
This is prob one of the funniest pictures I took all week....
I remember Nacho Libre! Now if only you got the creatures from the school bus...
Brian, where can I see these pics from Sunday school at?
Remember... LONG LUNCH BREAK BRIAN! haha....
I saw that guy a couple of times too lol

At 4am after we walked out [early] from James zabiela we stopped at the Pita Pitt for some quick munchies. There was a bum inside eating a solid tomato like it was an apple. He salted his tomato and tried to jack the salt shaker but the owner saw and bitched him out. I lol'd

Got to Nikki Beach early to catch Mark Knight @ the Juicy Party. Mark was ripping it up proper. Suddenly somebody comes stumbling into the DJ booth looking like a zombie and guess who it is.....Dave Dresden lol. Him and Josh came on after Mark Knight and lets just say I wish Mark never stopped spinning.....we ended up leaving that area pretty fast.
short version: i did coke with richie hawtin and sharam from deep dish
i went to get my phone charger from the car and walked back to the dj booth at catalina hotel where my friend was spinning so i could charge my dead phone. i was swinging it around while walking and i guess this broke the connection inside and broke my charger. i was sitting outside next door (maxime) and fell asleep (hadnt slept in 3 days). when i woke up, my dj friend was gone. went to the hotel we were crashing at, everyone was gone, they went to some event. i was homeless, beyond exhausted, feet hurt, no phone. kinda scary. so walking aimlessly on washington, killing time, some girl asks me where club bed is, i pointed that way. we start talking, i tell her i am homeless. she is cute and we hit it off, she says hang out with her and her friend. all i care about is a hotel room to sleep or shower in, i didnt care that she is beautiful and into me. we walked all the way to club bed. we were kissing while waiting in line. i was really happy i made a new girlfriend. she paid then i went to pay and realized i had no cash on me, so i said oh well, this is goodbye. i asked bouncer the way out because theres all these red ropes and shit on the sidewalk and he guided me, and i said "wait i changed my mind im going back in" and he said oh ok and walked me past the doorman. HAHA! oldest trick in the book. so i got in for free (cover was $40)
what a nice surprise, it was a minimal event. my favorite type of music and the type i mostly spin. what an amazing sound and atmosphere, the trippy spooky lighting, my arm hairs were standing up. ive never been to bed before, i see all these beds and was like oh thats a nice vip area. but i dont see any guards so i just hopped right up in there, my feet were killing me i just sat on the edge of the bed. completely forgot about that girl i was kissing, just was so tired. some guy squeezes by and bumps his butt in my face, i look up and couldnt believe my eyes, its richie hawtin! my #2 fav dj! he was kissing and frolicking with miss kitten. i talked to some chunky girl with ed hardy shirt on sitting next to me, she said its ok i can go up and talk to him hes real nice, so i did, i asked him about plugins he uses. it was very brief and he went back to talking to miss kitten. then i see sharam and i said hey you're sharam and i shook hands and asked if hes going to play more minimal. he said "i play everything, minimal, maximal, whatever". i sat down and ed hardy girl asks if i got drugs and i completely forgot about the coke in my back pocket and said holy shit actually i do. she said we can do it right here. i said no way. she said yes no one gives a shit what you do around here go for it! after nudging me to point it got annoying i said fine and busted it out. that was a strange feeling for me to do that in public, i was scared. we layed back at an angle and i layed into richie who i didnt know was sitting next to me. so i offered. he laughed and said ok wow thanks and went back to talking to whoever. the girl and i did some more and then sharam was sitting next to richie talking. (forgot to mention there were alot of other minus people laying in the bed too) i was talking to a guy that does print media or some shit, he said he does all the print stuff for "all these guys you see here" and richie overheard and said "not this guy" and thats when i offered again and he jokingly said "dont listen to him he doesnt know anything". then sharam leaned over and i gave him one and i said hey we have the same shoes (addidas goodyears). i felt retarded for saying that. richie asked "so are you like the guy who just gives out drugs here or what whats going on, where are you from" etc etc and just chatted. i told him about my idea i came up with the other day for a club thats open during the day, a day club. sharam is shaking his head like with pity and i said "what! whats wrong with that?" and he said thats a terrible idea but richie defended me.
this is the messed up part. me and the girl and her friend and i kept doing more. they spin minimal too and we talked about records, etc. i really thought i made some new friends, we had the same interests. she said i could crash at their hotel room. i was like thank god what a relief. she wanted to do more but i was done so she kept offering me money so i would pull it out of my pocket and do some more, i kept refusing. she kept saying "you're too nice, let me give you money". over and over again. i said look we can do more at your guys room. finally i gave in, she gave me a 20 and wanted me to give her the bag. i said i dont understand. she said she wanted to do lines in the bathroom and she'd be right back. we were such friends at that point so i trusted her. when she walked away i thought wait whats the point of going to the bathroom, we've been doing it here all night. i cant believe i was that stupid, i attribute it to extreme lack of sleep. so i get up and notice they're heading for the front door. i immediately creep low and follow. i get outside and look and cant find them. they were gone. STUPID!!!! oh well, there was only about $20 left in the bag anyway. but it made me sick to my stomach thinking how devious she was. how fucking fake and snakey for her to pretend to be friends all that time, effort, just to take advantage of someone. i would be happy to meet someone who spins minimal too and even likes and has the same records i do. but i guess she lives in miami and this scene its like "no shit you like this record and that record, so does everyone else, who gives a fuck". this is the first minimal event ive been to, is this how all the people in this scene are like? extremely shady sketchy fucks? devious intelligent evil people?
walking back to the clifton hotel i thought about the night. who cares about the people i met and gave drugs to. its so silly to brag about it or anything. the big picture, these are just some guys who play a particular style of underground repetitive music. the whole edm scene is so alternative from the mainstream in itself! people at work dont even know who the fuck tiesto is. the thing to really be proud about is not who you meet and talk to or do drugs with, its what kind of art you create. im going back to my paintings and music. being a hipster/scenester is retarded.
edit: i just realized, i used her phone to text my friend so she wouldn't worry where i was (and to brag im hangin with richie etc). so i have that bitch's phone number. i wonder what i can do with it, maybe track her down. i will fight her like a man, i mean it, i dont care i will pop her in the face.
Danny Howells @ Pawn Shop. I'm on the dance floor right in front of the booth and my friend Toni comes up to me and says "yo Bri did you see the monkeys hanging out of the school bus?" I'm like no and look over to my left.....sure enough there were all sorts of body parts hanging out of the windows in the bus so I'm looking closer and it turns out to be my friends Jorge and Sara.

piet from rank 1 put me on his list for armada night but there was some mix up, yada yada, i wasn't on the list. so as sweetcandygirl and i are standing outside twilo armin walks up and scg tells him what's going on so he walks us in with him. then later on piet gets there and i go up to say hi and he asks if i got in alright. he's standing there with armin and before i can say anything armin says, yeah, i had to walk her in and she's wearing you're name on her shirt! lol, pretty funny. not sure if that's crazy though, hmm?
I like it gypsy
guess besides having a seizure saturday morning before Ultra my crazy story would be Thursday night I went to Skybar for The Turntable Lab record label party. I got on the list because I buy stuff from there and kept harrassing them to put me on the list. My friends ended up going back to Naples for the night so it was just me.... I didn't know what Skybar was or anything. I walk in with my New Order shirt and cargos and just see beds by a huge pool and people playing nintendo wii and "networking". So I go to the bar, buy a bacardi limon and sprite for $14(!!) and walk around... its a pretty private party at this point, with less than 100 people there total. I'm definitely feeling out of place. Finally I have to use the bathroom and this girl tells me its all the way around the corner down this hall... ok, so when I come out I just follow these other people through a side door and we are inside The Red Room, which is I guess hard to get into. Inside there I see Spank Rock walking around, along with other Turntable Lab artists. Chromeo was djing some good stuff and I just sat down and offered a free drink. I stayed in there for a few hours as it filled up with SUPER trendy people and old rich guys and hotel guests and more SUPER TRENDY people.
When I had to go to the bathroom again, I had to wait behind a barrier to try to get back into the Red Room. They had to pick you!!! I was pissed because I was in there all night so I grabbed the guy who told me I could come back in and he let me back in. I walked out of there later with a few new friends (we were all wondering what was going on the whole night), a shirt and a few cds... pretty fun night.
stev�sto, good story, better message at the end ...

Friday night, buddies and I go to Beach Plaza for one of the AA parties on the roof top. Party ends at 11 after Lady Dee came on (Bangin set by the way). We decide to cruise out and possibly head back to the hotel. I turn around for a second and when I look back my buddy has jammed. I go down the stair well and hit the street and then give him a call. The bastard is already 4 blocks up and somehow on Ocean Drive already in about 3 minutes. The bastard got a phone call from some chick he met and was in a MIGHTY big hurry to meet up with her. I finally catch up and we cruise to the Miguel Migs party at the Shelborne. After a few drinks or twelve I finally bounce out at about 3am and head back. Next morning I wake up and my buddy is asleep on his cot, all his clothes on, a giant blood blister on his big toe and noe shoes on. He finally wakes up, and says "Dude, I walked 20 blocks too far past the hotel. I think I lost my sandals too, i know i lost one in the club." The guy walked home with one sandal, went god knows how many blocks, lost the OTHER sandal, and then walked back.
Same guy Saturday night before we get into Armada @ Twilo. We are standing line he starts looking for his ticket. "Oh F***, I lost my wallet." We end up buying a ticket off the guy in front of us who had an extra. As we get closer he realizes he needs and ID as well to get in. He starts panicking until the same dude gives him his ID after showing it to the bouncer and STILL gets in. The rest of the night goes great. Some how he still managed to make our flight home without the ID. TSA just gave him a thorough search and let him through, kinda sketchy huh. Just FYI, this same guy lost his wallet in Barcelona 6 months ago. DEJA VU! We need to tatoo his wallet to his ass.
