Is WMC really worth it?

[face]

all i remember is the bitch at space who made me a vodka/redbull and didn't give me the rest of the redbull (actually it was space's own brand of energy drink) and still charged me 12 bucks or so.

my friend had bought one right before me and she gave him the rest of the red bull can she used to make his drink (which was like 2/3 of the can). then she denied me and i wanted to kick her ass!

12.00! thats cheap.. they were going for 20.00 at mansion for the delta heavy show.
but i agree, i cant fucking stand not getting the rest of the can of red bull when you pay out the arse for the bloody drink

LOL, i guess that has happened to all of us who have been to space.....

last year i went to the fortier FADE party and i oredered a drink at the bar and the guy is like 22 bux....i almost couldnt believ what i was hearing....it really is ridiculous the prices they get away with charging.

its candy raver-fest galore pickle. there are some great acts at Ultra, but i'm not into the 30,000 trollin clowns any more.
wmc is defo worth it. this will be my 4th year attending.
the parties are sick. but be prepared to wait in line at the clubs. unless you have some ultra hot blonde ladies around.

Your ecactly right...candy ravers everywhere...

This will be my 5th year going to wmc and i only went to ultrafest my very first year in 2001. i told myself i will never go to that again...

plus its bloody hot there outside in miami

[remoh]

20 bucks for a vodaka redbull ..now that's crazy.... go up to the bar with 3 friends get 3 shots of vodka over ice and buy one can of red bull its all about cutting corners .....

[face]

well they do put a rather decent amount of vodka in the drinks (ie more than one shot)...as usually not even half the redbull can will fit into the glass or cup...

but yeah, that could be a good alternative!

if you are into house music, WMC is obliged...
ok, you should always drink before getting into the club now, not all places are that expensive, and usually there are a lot of hotel parties where you can bring in backpacks and record bags (everybody does) and carry a good ol' flask :wink:
the nicer clubs are a different story for sure, but they dont pat you down either, you just have to be careful when you sip it



i usually pass on licquor while at conference, nothing more than a few beers throughout the day; i find it helps me stay out longer, and dont have to deal with a bad hangover, which could make you miss some shows

i know u cannot really compare WMC to a week in Ibiza... BUT i had MUCH better time at WMC last year than Ibiza. better value for $, less travel time, MUCH MUCH MUCH better music.

If you check the flyers and web sites in advance, they will provide phone numbers for the VIP sections, etc. Go first class!!

Re: Is WMC really worth it?

paying for the wmc is a waste in my opinion everyone you need to meet is @ the parties... you just need to go to the right ones

This is what I was gonna type here...

Last year I paid $275 (bought in december 2003) to get a badge for nothing... well a discount on $10 at Nerve but that was all...

I was there for both promote my tracks and of course for the parties... what a waste of money and time. I wanted to have one of my tracks reviewed by a board of ANRs... OMG that was like that fucking show American Idol thing... arrrggg, these guys didn't even knew that Bedrock, Hooj Choons (RIP), Release Records or Sondos where labels!!! and I had to wait 4 hours there to listen to a very, very really stupid review of my track.... BTW the track was 1st on EDM Top downloads for a couple of weeks :P

My advice, wheter you are on a bussiness mission or just for fun go to the pool side parties in the day and the clubs at night... get one of those party guide booklets and plan your tour, be prepared to see TBA booked in almost half of the gigs

[undrgrndwmn]

if I have to ask what?

excuse me for not wanting to blow a couple grand on flying down to bourgeoisie south beach to show off my tan & prada and max & relax to some "techno".

that's just it, though. I wore sneaks and jeans everywhere. I had ZERO problem getting into any clubs. Guys got in with collarless tshirts and sneakers. Maybe southbeach is about prada and looking good, but for one week, sloppy music fiends get to take over.

WMC is one of the highlights of my year....every year.
don't think.....just do it......
And I couldn't agree more about ultra.....have never actually gone....probably b/c I always hear it is just full of cracked out teenagers and the like.....
but there are always ridiculous parties in South Beach the night of Ultra.
Like in '03.....Danny Howells/Deep Dish at Space....or a big field in downtown Miami.....hmmmmmmmm

[lefty]

in a word.....Y E S.
