Might go. How much are tickets usually and when are the dates?

It used to be the last weekend of May (Last year was May 27th-31st), but I think it's now the first Weekend of June.

You can either pay-per-event, which can vary from $10-$55 dollars IIRC, or get various passes.

If you go for the entire week, want access to everything Mutek has to offer, the pass last year was $215

If you want just the weekend pass, it was $135

You can check out last years ticket-info to get an idea of the options available: linkage

It's pretty hard to hit up everything. The past two years I got the weekend pass, but ended up missing 1 or 2 events, and it didn't really end up in much/any savings.

If you are wanting to head down just to "party" and not that interested in the side-stuff/chin-stroke events, it's probably best to do a pay-per event and hit up the Piknik and Nocturns.

If you like the chin-stroke/sit and listen/art installation type things, I'd opt for the pass.

There is a pretty big nerdy-side to Mutek, which appeals to me - my favorite events from last year were not as party-oriented. But, they also know how to party and the Pikniks are a blast and the production put into he Nocturns is pretty top-notch.

Some of the events are pretty spread out, and it can take some time to get to/from each location -- if your hotel is far away, it can be hard to hit up everything - especially if you want to change cloths/freshen up between parties.

Trying to do an art installation, Piknik, A/V and Nocturn all in 1 day is pretty exhausting :P

Maybe if the lineup is appealing.. perhaps through in a Stereo visit in there

A Stereo visit is the only certainty of that weekend for me.

didn't check out the other events, but had a blast at Piknik on the Saturday. I would love to go again this year if there is a half-decent lineup.

then again, I had never heard anyone before who was there and I really enjoyed Trus'me and Thomas Fehlmann's sets.

what a great venue when the weather is nice!

It's a definite possibility for me. I'd really like to head to Montreal again to finally see Stereo and this seems like as good a time as any to do it.

I don't think Mutek generally books the same artists two years in a row. One thing I tend to like about Mutek, is they tend to not always book 'the usual suspects' and get in some neat/new/interesting artists. As good as Villalobos is, there are other people I'd probably rather see.

I'd be up for Mutek trip depending on funds after DEMF, as it's always been of an interest to me!

stereo is always a must when in town
