Last year Underworld and Chemical Brothers were excellent experiences at the main stage (the only acts i went to see there) because the kids didnt know who they were thus there was a lot of space to spare.. |
and that sums it up EXACTLY.... |

Yup. I also have to thank Guetta for clearing out the area during his set, right before Chem Bros. I and my group pretty much walked up after his set ended and walked up to the front of the stage. |

^ This is funny and, sadly, true. I try not to judge people too much because I'm all for people going out just to enjoy a party.... but I've got to admit that even I get a little irritated when people are out and about during WMC for only that reason. I think we all hold that week in pretty high regard because of how special it is to have probably the best week of edm in the world righ here on our own soil. So, please, if you are one of these people, at least take a look at the flyer so you know who you're listening to.

what condo did you stay at? |
Dreamer already answered but, yes, we have stayed at the Opera Tower the last few years. They are privately owned apartments/condos just on the other side of the Venetian Causeway from Ultra. We have been lucky enough to get the same place each year and it is up near the top in the 50s. Up until last year, though, the main stage was facing away from us and all we got was a jumble of music from all over. Last year, however, construction in the park forced Ultra to move things around a bit and the Main Stage was facing us. The ASoT tent was in between, but since it was covered the sound was overpowered by the acts on the main stage. We could hear everything very clearly and see the lights and stuff. After f*ckin around on South Beach most days, we would always come back to the place and catch the final few acts while getting ready and pre-gaming on the balcony. Even aside from our luck, we prefer downtown because of the proximity to the clubs we frequent the most. We can walk to Ice Palace, Space, Parkwest, Vagabond, most of the boats, etc.... South Beach is very convenient for all the pool parties, so I always suggest that first timers try to stay around there at least once. We just don't attend them enough to make it count. Frankly, I'm getting too old to drink all day in the sun and still enjoy the clubs, haha, which is still what I like the most. In addition, downtown lodging is usually quite a bit cheaper, so if you usually find yourself there anyway, it's worth checking out some places. The Tower might even still have openings. Homeaway and Cyberrentals are the best websites and you might even find an owner renting out from elsewhere on the web.
As a sidenote, several people on here can attest to the fact that our place is good for a quick drink on your way to the downtown clubs, so feel free to pm if your interested in meeting up. Haters need not apply. :tongue2 |

Think I saw your TA post about pregaming and was going to swing by last year before heading to Space on Friday for Markus Schulz but got sidetracked and didn't make it... |

Did you find the Opera Tower rental through one of those sites, or did you have a friend who lives there? If you rented, do you mind sharing what you paid for it? Just trying to get a feel for what the prices are like. Thanks |

Was really surprised when I saw this. So disappointed. This was going to be my salvation from all the crowds i expect this year at the other parties. Luckily I'm going to Detroit this year.
I still remember my first Sunday School at Pawn Shop. Literally dancing by myself at 10am and I look to my right at its Richie Hawtin. |

"..we won't be hosting Sunday School in Miami this year as we continue to focus our efforts on the Electric Zoo Festival in New York."
Its good to know they've got their priorities straight. |

| I hope all that extra money and focus goes towards the sunday school tent. But I have a feeling it will probably go towards the main stage or a brostep stage. :rolleyes: |

really wack made event isent doing sunday school or any parties at all
back in the day they used to own wmc
as for wmc as a whole iam not going this year, but even when i went last year it just had a different feeling, much more commercial,everything and everyone is seperated...who can throw the biggest and best party,overpriced tickets,fan boys etc etc
in 2010 i had a blast but last year and now the look so far of this year looks like wmc is going down the tubes |
