Having gone last year.. I can tell you for sure that it's definitely worth whatever has to be done in order to attend!
Well I did basically pick up and fly to Ibiza to go to Cocoon on 12 hours of notice.

I had to quit my job and drove 11 hours to get to wemf 2001(?) because I promised some friends that I would be there. only to be stuck in line after the OPP shut the event down. 14 hours of line camping I got in and spent the next 8 hours trying to find my friends. 11+14+8= way too much sleep deprivation. I got 5 hours of sleep the last day and then had to drive to Niagara falls. Slept for 3 more hours at a truck stop and then drove back to NYC.
The next year, I booked the time off but drove from NYC to Toronto, picked up two friends. We then decide that we are driving to Montreal to rescue a friend from a job and take him to wemf again (this is the friend I went with the year before). We show up in Montreal and spend the night convincing him to come. I then go and talk to his boss the next day explaining that he is too sick to work and will call in on Monday to see if he's better yet.
We then boot it to WEMF. Get there right as the first stages are gearing up. Party our asses off and then I drive him back to Montreal, and then drive home to NYC.
Every year wemf is the craziest thing I will do for a party. If I'm going I know it will be nuts. I have only had one 'flawless' year at wemf. all the rest have ended up ok but definitely tested me along the way.
My only other crazy night that is close to being on par was taking an over night fishing boat across the Aegean sea to get back to Athens for an event. I woke up in Athens and then spent the day sleeping in some shade by a metro station until 4pm when I checked into a hostel to drop off my bag and then I showered and left for finding food and then the club.

As I remember, the last thread like this was won by Jenners and her Preach-whoring. Lisa-Loo and Irish were close contenders tho.
LOL.. thanks for the mention Dima.
Last year for my bday (after Preach posted in my bday thread in Mtl), booked myself a flight to Amsterdam 28 days in advance for an Awakenings party to see him play for 1.5 hours. He was also nice enough to put me on his VIP and provide me with his cell number incase anything happend and I needed to reach him.
The end part is the reason he deserves the whoring. An amazing DJ with a big heart too.
But I, like Lisa-loo with Ferry, have followed Preach many places. From seeing him here in TO, to driving countless hours back and forth to Montreal to see him and flying overseas twice to see him. It is a continuous thing for me. Damn, I need to make more money.. lol

I drive to Toronto from Buffalo every single weekend to party with you guys and see all my DJs tear it up.
Some people would say I'm crazy, but it's sooooo worth it... and I'll be calling Toronto home soon enought!
Can't fucking wait.

no no.
I am not the only crazy one around here.
There are a few others that come to mind here.
One specifically though is Shelley.
She has many stories to tell. Her and I really need to get started on our book.
