[Bender420]

this will be my first one.
found a roundtrip flight from new orleans for $204. then the mother told me she had some frequent flyer miles i could use, so $5 later and i'm on my way!

i'll be with friends that go every year, but i want the insight of MS.
so what do i need to know?

Re: wmc 09

Get a bunch of sleep before you go if you can...

It's much cheaper to get a hotel in NB (cleaner and quiet too) 10 minutes from SB.

Maybe I'll see you there...

Re: wmc 09

but the money you save on a hotel you piss away in cab fare

stay on sobe, you can walk every where you need to go, and there are actually good hotel deals if you start looking NOW

is sobe a main street? my friend that goes every year is looking for rooms now.

steve, didn't you say you were probably gonna skip this year b/c you wanted to save up for something else?

who else is planning on going?

Re: wmc 09

sobe is south beach.. lok at hotels on collins, ocean or washington

last two years we had a suite that was about 250.00 a night, but it slept 6 i think.. had a seperate bedroom, kitchen, living room.. it was a like an apt.. adam saw it when we stayed there in 2006

suites of dorchester.. right on collins and about 18th <<<< which is right around where you want to be..once you start getting up into the 40's and higher street number wise, you'll be dumping a load of cash into taxis, or have really really sore feet

Re: wmc 09

money may prevent me from spending a week in south beach (no shit) but completely missing wmc may be too much for me to handle, so chances are i will catch the fri and sat night line ups and do my annual 5 hour drive up to tampa at 5 am sunday morning

Re: wmc 09

i had my own car with me and took a taxi only a few times, then again I also stayed a few nights on the 9th floor of the Shelborne Hotel looking over the ocean and all the parties below!

Re: wmc 09

Ah...lucky you Bender!
I def recommend staying in South Beach (SoBe) where Steve G says. You'll pretty much be in walking distance to most of the parties. We stayed on Washington and 15th and had no need for a cab at all, except for Digweed at the Vagabond.
Also, I found it really useful to get tickets in advance for the parties you really want to go to and I had absolutely no problems with line-ups or not getting in. I was quite surprised at how civilized it all was. Get on guestlists as well. But you'll never have a problem being spontanious and having a great time too! I believe it was the tranceaddict forum that had the most extensive event listings. I referred to it a lot!!
And yes...get some sleep befor ya go!

Re: wmc 09

I won't be making it, the £ has taken a hammering. Hopefully it'll be a more wallet friendly Easter bedrock instead.

Re: wmc 09

i may have to curb the alcohol intake on weekends for a while!
