just a little bit of advice dude...

CHILL THE FUCK OUT! its not coming up quick at all. its still half a god damn fucking year away.

at the end of the day its only a bunch of parties. its not the be all end all. stop all this over planning because you're putting wmc on a level where no matter how good it is you'll still never enjoy it because your expectations are too damn high. please do us all a favor and listen to us this year. last year you didnt and we all know what happened. just let go of all the high expectations and all this planning. yes, do plan. but man you're over doing it. again. dont and i bet you your conference will be hella fun. im probably wasting my time here but yea thats what i think.

Yeah I am sorry, and I agree totally. I am over doing it yet again. I can't help it, I am at work reading and watching stuff from last time I missed.. I just love this type of music and the atmosphere it brings.

I really do not think about the expectations of it and I do not think I am putting it on an unclimbable mountain, but I do expect to have fun one way or the other.

I have changed my signature to reflect what I need to do.

I really tried to follow most peoples advice this past time but I was overwhelmed due to being a newbie to everything I guess.
I did plan, plan, and planned some more....

I did do some good things:

Bus pass card
Good location of hotel
Party choices
Food choices

The bad thing I believe was my fault mostly because of the diet I was on prior to showing up. It knocked me out before I really got started.
I am doing that correctly now and it should not be a problem this time hopefully. The alcohol hit me so hard in the beginning and the different type of food I was eating was hitting me hard as well.

As you can tell I really dont go to things like this at all. I never been to any concerts or festivals ever. I usually go to local clubs here or there from time to time.

Take Flo's counsel. Chilax. Take it as it comes. Yes you do need some planning, in instances such as pre-sales and stuff, but don't plan each night.. you might end up regretting it. My best WMC's were the ones I didn't really plan for.. yes I wish I had pre-sales for some events but other than that, just took it as it came. tons of free events to choose from. It's the random stuff that you do that makes it fun, the planned, not so much.

Understood everyone, I took some chill pills!

I am going to relax and let it flow this time.

I am pretty cool to hang out/party with I believe. I am not really a control freak, but I do try to be highly organized sometimes, like following schedules, etc..

I mostly planned alot to save money and to make sure I knew where I was going since I was a newbie. Like stated some of those parties at the door according to my one friend they wanted a shit ton $$$ vs. what I paid for the pre-sale tickets. I never made it to most, but I was able to sell them to get my money back.

I think this was your suggestion last year as well lol. You going this year?


Also dont everyone jump on MD - he just wants to make it work this year since he literally had an ultimate fail the year before. I do agree though that overplanning for a party vacation may be overkill but having your ducks in a row is always a good idea especially given most peoples state of minds once they are over there. All you have to worry about is getting some pre-sales, sure you may not make them all but you usually can sell them at the spot, next is transportation or extra money for cabs and where your sleeping - thats pretty much it. Hopefully you go with some cool ppl who will go with the flow and just party it up- the best thing about WMC is that there is so much shit going on if you dont like a vibe or cant party anymore then just go your own way- no biggie the vibe is so cool out there that youll be surprised the peeps you may meet up with.

I think your main problem last year was that you went over there with a frat boy get drunk mentality- I know you had a bad sandwich and all but EDM parties go on for hours and unless your a serious alcoholic most are gonna be pretty wasted by the middle of the night- pace yourself or decide on other options.

Which brings me back to scoops comment- bring alot of coke lol jk.
