WMC...
It should stand for Whatthefuck Mutherfucking Carnage....
Meganite Party on Tuesday...stellar...But Leibling destroyed many already tired party people....Marco Carola did a excellent set afterwards, but a lot of folks had already left....Terrace, well, that was just the terrace...always a good time
Steve Lawler on Wed....mellower than I thought he would be...Clive Henry played a stellar warm-up set..The crowd was just so psyched for Steve to rip it up, he really didn't start bringing the pain until after 2:30 a good night but not a great one..I went to grab a friend for Morillo around 5am but couldn't get her out of bed...LOL
Thursday...During the day, hung out in SoBe, just walking into parties in hotel lobbys and pools...great music! The Sullivan Room Party was kickin at Teasers! Bumped into a LOT of people I knew from around and met a ton more! Headed back to the hotel to get ready for the Detroit Techno Party....went to see Jeff Mills...got there early, talked to my boy about reentry and went to downton SoBe...Left my friggin cell phone in the Cab...D'OH!...Met up with a couple of friends that were drunk and emotional...waited in line for 30 minutes to get into the OM Records party and didn't move a inch...Ate Pizza Rustica and fucked off back to the Detroit Party...
Friday...layed by the pool, rested...went to the TA dinner, then off to Nikki Beach for the Radio One party....outside was more social as they had the sound turned off except for the monitors for the DJ's, but inside was slammin! Hung there for a few hours, mingling and snapping pictures...Headed off to BED for James Holden....only $12, you can't beat it! Saw Carl Cox hanging around having dinner, listened to some great choons....Fucked off there around 1am, went to spin as I thought that Zableia was there and my friends as well, paid $20 to get in to find that there were 30 people total there and it wasn't Zabelia....D'OH!!!....walked right out and went to the Steve Porter Party....I wasn't all too impressed with some of the openers, but once Steve came on, he ripped it up....Conemplated going to a after hours around 5:30...decided on Pizza Rustica and back to the hotel instead...
Saturday...Ultra Fest...Didn't really hang out much at the main arena, but did see Infusion....Lawler TORE IT UP!!! He dropped the set that I thought he was going to on Wed....Carl Cox had the crowd slammin as well...Danny Howells also threw down a great techno set, but after Cox, it was a hard slot to fill...Tenaglia had some minor technical probs initially, but he really got into it after a couple of tracks...crowd everywhere (Breaks, DNB, Main Arena, Techno, DDTT tents) was totally having a great time...Left around 11pm...wanted to beat the line for the Yoshitoshi party at Space....timing was perfect, I went back to the hotel, got showered and headed off to Space...No line to get in...wOOt! As far as the best overall party...the Yoshitoshi party was IT...Max on the terrace dropped a great set, Nick Faniculli blew everyone away as well! Berouz(spelling?) opened up for Ali, he got the crowd movin, but he really outdid himself when he went on the Terrace...Ali started out mellow, some good tracks, but he really didn't drop the hammer until a good hour into his set...But once he did, Sharam took over and really took things to another level...
At 8am-ish, I knew I had to check out of my hotel...got back and grabbed a quick hour nap, to be awakened by Avikonen trying to get me up with coffee!...
Hung back around South Beach for the afternoon...Picked up Cuzo (after a minor luggage SNAFU) and headed back...
36 hours later (took 24ish to get to Detroit, plus me driving Cuzo back to Toronto and back to Detroit) I am back home...
Pics and more detailed reviews to come!

WMC kinda review
He dropped a 5 hour set.. I could barely stand after it was done. SPACE had nowhere to sit in the main room which sucked. It was soooo packed too. Like the GUV.. but atleast space had a wicked A/C system.. it was cooooold. To what I can remember, Tiesto finished around 6 I think.. maybe a little earlier.. then DJ Montana came on. I've never heard of him before but he rocked. Big thumbs up. Around 7am we headed to the Terrace.. (on the roof of space) The terrace was like an exotic rain forest/jungle.. never seen anything like it before. Roger Sanchez was banging super duper good house. Even tho I was half dead I couldnt help but groove. Fuck I'm getting tired of typing.
Another first timer for me.. absolutely loved his set. Then came TIESTO and and PVD.. Tiesto impressed me more at ULTRA than at SPACE.. PVD was good too. Im getting tired now.
