Hello hello!!! I'm new to the boards as well. I'm from Chicago and my boyfriend and I will be in Miami for the WMC this year for the first time. We've been to Miami before, but not for this. Can anyone give us any pointers? Like what time we should get to the clubs to get in? How much are the clubs going to charge for cover? Where will the poolside parties be at? Etc. Etc. Etc.

Thanks much!!!!

ok. it's best to get to the parties early. like before 12 if u don't want to be stuck in a huge line. this pertains to the night parties only. avg. price for big clubs is 30 bux. some may charge more (space), and some may charge less.

pool parties are all over the beach. clevelander. surfcomber (official poolside party hotel), the raleigh hotel, and the albion just to name a few.

hope this helps.

Is this Puma from Chicago?

Well I've personally never been to the Blue Moon hotel, but when my friends were here from St Louis, we stayed at the Hotel Shelley on Collins for the Mekka.. It was cheap and clean. Nothing spectacular.. We weren't in the room anyway, so didn't matter... plus they had free cocktails:tongue:

Hi guys,

I used to post on a site called

http://www.garagehousemusic.com

unfortunately the person who ran it got sick of all the people arguing and crap... a shame really because for a time it had the most fulfilling discussions about the music and the culture...

I think I'll come back here more often to get to know y'all a little better.

Back on topic...

I was able to get a room at the Sheraton Bal Harbour Beach Resort for 69 americano a night ... made my reservations. Then I cancelled them as soon as I saw how far away that hotel was from the Art Deco district. The cab fares scared me off... moneys tight as fuk. (A Heiniken costs 4.50 Canadian while in South beach it's like 6 and of course 7 or 8 bux after the bartender see's how ripped you are!!)

Most of the un official action happens around 1400 Collins and aeround Washington I recall. That hotel was at the Northern part of the Island so I said fuk that! Mind you if I had a person to split it with that would be cool but I think most of the Toronto crews are going to be in the Motel district. I think I'm going to take a gamble and wing it.

Odds are I'll be able to buy into a cheap room. One note though, there are a few stories about credit cards and valuables being ripped off from rooms in the cheaper motels. Some friends had shit stolen while they slept! So be careful

No point paying that much to sleep in a hotel for 5-6 hours! :rolleyes:

I should have made an effort to keep in touch with all the cool clubkids I met last year...

As far as what's going on... as soon as I get the heads up from my media contacts I'll post a link to the venues and parties... Jen Warner at about.com is pretty on point for that info.

I gotta stop... I'm anxious and it's only Jan! Flights booked, South Beach here I come!!

Bring-it-on!:bounce:

Roney Ocean Palace.. or something like that, is a very nice hotel.

Im not sure if they are done remodling it yet, but they should be.

Its around 24th St. Right on the Ocean. A little far north to walk anywhere except Lola and Rain, and maybe Spin, but they have very nice rooms and stuff. If they are done with the remodel, they are a legitimate 4 star joint.

they are only a $3 taxi ride to any other club except Space ($12)

I have heard of some great deals there. If they were 6 blocks south, they could charge $250 for the same rooms.

Hey, we stayed at Roney's Palace last year during WMC...we got hooked up with a huge suite at a relatively reasonable rate...it is a really nice place and the pool set up was off the hook...right on the beach...music...cool people etc....it's a little expensive and drinks are pricey by the pool but it's a lot of fun...we are looking for a few chill guys or girls to go in on a place there with us (suite)...there will only be about 3-4 of us this year as money is kinda tight...if interested my e-mail is below...ciao

Hey guys! I'm new to the board and am from Chicago as well. This will be my first time going to WMC and CANNOT wait! I've only been to Miami once before (last July) and absolutely loved it. We're staying at the Maxine on 17th and Collins--has anyone heard anything about this place? It's probably not the nicest hotel, but we got a really good deal on it.

Anyway--it's just my boyfriend and I that are going down there, so I'd love to meet up sometime!

Greetings clubhedz,

I'm coming down for the conference from Atlanta. About 10 of us are coming down in my crew, not to mention all the other people I know who are making the trip from here. I attended the conference in 2000, but I have a feeling that this time is gonna be alot different. We're mostly into house, dnb, breaks, and hip hop and will be partying accordingly.

I'm staying the 21-28 at the Castillo Del Mar. Is that good or bad? Some friends of mine are staying at the Clay Hotel and Hostel and are looking for reviews as well.

Comments?? Comments??Anyone??Anyone???

Anywhoo, I'll be in tune with this forum on the regular. Oh yeah.....I CANT WAIT!!!!!

House Before Titties!!!
