He opened the WMC live on air at the Essential mix, and he was at ultra this year too. It looks like city hall has taken a "If we cant beat 'em, join 'em" stand. I think it could have a good chance.

OK, I see what you are saying. I misunderstood. They don't allow anything after 1am to go on. That's why I said it would never happen. You say 2 days, you assume 2 days, overnight, etc. This way, it can happen. The question is will it happen. And now with WMC affiliating with Ultra the chances of that happening are less. Time will tell.

I think this is a good idea... I wasn't at 6, but I was at 5, and I think it was just about borderline "way too packed." The fucking mainstage got closed off for Underworld and I had to miss them - that was some bullshit! But it wasn't horrible, I just couldn't see it growing much more without crossing that line. And it's growing every year...

Still, I love bayfront, and although I don't live in Miami and could just be talking out of my ass, I'm not really sure if there's anywhere that would be better? I mean bayfront is perfect... the amphitheatre is great, there's plenty of room for everything else, the ocean is right there and you can smell the breeze coming off it, that big fountain is right in the center. I don't know if you could get a better venue.

I don't think there should be fewer stages, it's nice how it is now that you'll be hard pressed not to find something at any given time that you like. I'd rather see Ultra go all day and all night, 24 hours, with longer sets. I don't think 2 days in a row would work out as well, becuase people like me want to be the first ones in and the last ones out, and it would be rough trying to do 2 days in a row on that schedule (well, maybe for you guys, not for me ). Second, I just think the atmosphere would be better if it wen't all night into one big, long party. Having 2 Ultra's in one weekend might take that special "once a year" feel out of it, imho. Third, I don't think you could beat a sunrise in the middle of Ultra
