Went to my first one in 2007 - had a freaking blast, although I wish I didn't spend so much time at ultra (rain, lame crowds). Ended up getting an invite to the sasha/digweed yacht party and not knowing about it because I was at ultra while the e-mail sat in my inbox at the condo.

I think me and a few friends are planning on going next year and driving down from Charlotte. I'm actually still paying off debt from the 2007 trip - I think I spent around $3500 between me and the girlfriend. I definitely won't be spending that much this time around ;D

Get a decent fake and you'll be able to fully enjoy WMC. Last year my schedule was this:

Wednesday: Danny Howells @ SET (Danny played all night from 10-5)
Thursday: Tom Morgan, BalErik, Luke Fair @ Jafar
Friday Morning: Pryda @ Space Terrace (Paolo Mojo opened, then Eric played for 5 hours.)
Friday Night: James Zabiela & Nic Fanciulli @ Studio A
Saturday: Hernan Cattaneo & John Digweed @ The Vagabond


Just amazing. I would never even ponder going to Ultra.

I'm amazed people still go to Ultra. I've never been, but from the pictures and descriptions I've both seen and heard over the past three years it's been nothing but wank in a ziploc bag.

SICK schedule. I would kill to go the see Howells during wmc. Only reason I still go to ultra is I am unlucky enough to no know anyone who can get me a fake id

If I knew where you lived I could bring a box of 96 crayons and some glitter and we could get all craftsy and shit. And yes, craftsy, not crafty.

I'll bring the scissors, glue and stickers.

Can't wait...Probably not going to Ultra either, its just too hot and even the good DJs don't play good sets.

Last year was pretty ridiculous.

Ultra drained me though...I enjoyed it, met a lot of cool people. Got approached by an undercover cop looking for drugs, oh the stories.

But Ultra definitely isn't worth it I realized. Too hot and sunny and tiring.

Got there Thursday afternoon with my friend, and we partied non-stop until Sunday afternoon.

The Anjunabeats 100 party @ Nocturnal Thursday night is still my best show of all time. Ridiculous sound system, perfect lighting, fucking amazing set.

And then Armin van Buuren and Markus Schulz closed us out @ Club Parkwest Saturday night.

I recommend everyone go to WMC. Miami is amazing that week. Go to the Ultra Music Festival at your own discretion though...shit drained me. I would've been better off sleeping Friday/Saturday during the day since I didn't get any sleep at night.

Oh, and my favorite part about WMC is...you'll literally be clubbing all night until the afternoon. Place is full of so much energy. I loved it so much!

my 2007 sched was this:
tuesday - junkieXL/fischerspooner/peaches
wednesday - SvD meet & greet --> SvD @ the fifth --> Danny Howells @ Pawn Shop
thursday - Juicy Beach --> Blank & Jones/Cosmic Gate/Sandra Collins
friday - ultra --> zabiela/fanciulli @ fifth
saturday - ultra --> armada w/AvB/schulz/rank 1

and tbh - ultra was a regret. Missed yacht party & armin's extended set, and by the time we got to armada night we were absolutely drained/wet/stinky. The energy was amazing at twilo but it was hard to even stand at that point. we ended up having to leave before rank 1 even came on.

Armada party wa a highlight for sure last year.....
