I have never seen anything like this year. I was at the Howells Dig Deeper label release party on Palm Island at it got shut down an hour early at 8 pm due to sound. Thankfully Danny was finished already.

Then Friday at the Dirtybird party they first shut down the upstairs 3 hours early due to noise complaints and had to switch up the downstairs line up to get everyone in. Then at 10 pm right before Claude was going to go on from 10-12 they shut down the entire party.

Saturday night at Vagabond they shut down the outside due to noise complaints. Thankfully John played until 7 am inside =)

Then I read that Lawler was shut down at 4 am at Nocturnal early Sunday morning.

What the hell was going on? It was WMC week! Did anyone else attend parties that were shut down?

I was at the Chelsea Hotel on Tuesday night and they shut down the DJ and gave him a ticket. His name was Antonio and was playing some sick minimal.

One of the days at Minimal Is Maximal we got a noise violation but the party continued.

I noticed 2 instances.

First, Steve Angello stated, "they are going to have to put hands cuffs on me to stop playin"...but some dick technician/hotel worker unpulled the plug to the speaker so he can't play...they plugged it back in to announce some shit on the mic.

Second, I saw firefighters outside of Shine/Sander Kleinenberg Sunday night making sure that they do close and get everyone out @ 5.

Just Republicans being Republicans enforcing "rules"

Florida is a Republican state right? Or is it a swing state? We all know we can blame Bush getting into office in the first place right? If it was up to the country as a whole, Gore would've been the president 8 years ago.

Lets not make this a political thing, the state can be considered a swing state due to the close standings of the last election.
http://www.electoral-vote.com/

And i am sure that alot of people feel the same when i say:

1. leave politics out of WMC
2. Dont speak of politics without data to back it up.



Lastly, Im sorry to hear about the shut downs, i would expect as the economy tanks even more, it will cause more rules and regulations to come through washington. Hopefully this will not become a more common occurance. I Hope the UMF doesnt get shut down..... will make 50k+ people rather angry.

Doesn't it seem like police shut down more parties in South Beach then from downtown area? Maybe the curfew?

I left Miami last year, and while i was there it seemed as if there was alot of residential areas near washington. I could be wrong, but you can always count on the complaint of one person leading to the issues affecting multiple others..... I wasnt aware of a curfew law... whats that about?

Two years ago they shut down Juciy Beach for 3hrs at midnight due to over-crowding. That SUCKED and I vowed never to go back there. None of the parties I went to this year got shut down but the Rooftop Ruckus with Desyn Maisello at the Bentley (5th/Ocean) had noticablly low volume. That was really the only place I noticed it.

The noise police turned Hallucienda down for a bit. There was some symphony going on close by. It was turned back up when the symphony was over.

It was one of those memorable WMC moments...listening to Burridge pull off a No Bass Set will be one for the books.
