Ultra 14/MMW/WMC

[caco0283]

Ultra is probably the most unorganized festival in the country

you my friend are an idiot

edit: you might ask why you are an idiot...cos its simple...you just dont know what you are talking about...the webcast schedule wasn't released as quick as you wished for cos there are clearance problems that needed to be resolved.

[djandrews25]

Maybe you should book some shows in the LA area and change things

There are tons of great shows happening in la on a regular basis. Are you not friends with any of us on facebook?

[caco0283]

ultra is all ages dude...its one of the reasons that make edc vegas much more superior. that and the fact that water is $6 a bottle while its free at edc

correction....its was 5 bucks...still pricey though....and it better be free at EDC cos i hear it gets hot out in the desert

[caco0283]

one thing i do not miss about Ultra is the amount of tools that are in one concentrated area...

the only time i saw tools this year was during Bloody Beatroots set...i didn't want to watch them my Sunday afternoon date really wanted to see them....i couldn't take the fucking idiots there....so i left just in time for Art Department and found my evening chick

[caco0283]

its Ultra, they do nothing they say they are gonna do...maybe they will switch it over when Sven comes on. There are supposed to be BIG things happening tonight and tomorrow according to the Ultra promoter...i doubt it

i really am starting to dislike you. all you do is bitch bitch bitch.

[caco0283]

lol, Caco must be in charge of the PA right now

why what happened

[caco0283]

Madonna getting paid god knows how much just to introduce her single and Avicii just standing there not giving a shit she is next to him is hilarious.

edit: and now she left the stage. Wow, great job!


double edit: wtf, justice was webcast? I turned it off cause I was tired of the wobbles....

Ronnie needs to report with some number for that sillyness

if i knew...i couldn't post it

[Neighborhood Creep]

Ever hear of multi-quote?

Glad you had fun. Looked like a blast.

[tmac]

so i left just in time for Art Department and found my evening chick

good choice. UMF Worldwide + Gui was the move for Sunday.

The 3D Mapping on the Intercontinental Hotel was amazing too. So glad it was over the UMF Worldwide Stage

[caco0283]

ronnie look alike!



hahahaha, what a shit show

he was gettin choked out. lol, try harder man!

damnit wish you took a pic

[caco0283]

You realize damien lazerus was ripping another stage at that time? Ultra has cheese for the masses but also delivers for the heads.

exactly

[caco0283]

Trance gets lazer robots. Guetta only gets douches with phones.

thats kyroman...he is always inside the Carl Cox Mega structure

[caco0283]

these are the promoters of Ultra.

why do you have to pause it on the worst frame?

[caco0283]

Ever hear of multi-quote?

Glad you had fun. Looked like a blast.

yes but i had a lot of pages to catch up on and didn't want to leave this open when i left my desk

edit: pix coming soon

[SepaGroove]

Who gives a fuck? Madonna is a old washed up hag who hasn't made anything remotely decent in well over two decades and that's implying any of the shit she made was ever good at all.

I mean, yeah, deadmau5 is complete retard for going on that rant, but, umm, fuck Madonna. She's a joke.

Exactly. That's why she's referencing Molly on stage and calling her new shit album MDNA. A really lame attempt to get America's youth to be interested in her music.

the sad this is it might actually work

oh baby don't get angry....I didn't get to go, so I gotta make myself feel better .....i just want my cake cake cake, but not like that girl at Aeoki. I hope to see you at the polo field my friend!

why what happened

they played NIN's Sin on the mainstage PA, quickly destroying the rainbow and unicorn dreams of all the young pookies.

hahaha thats awesome

[shotglass75]

It was playing not paused. I don't think if I waited it really would have mattered.

[caco0283]

edit: this pic isn't from this week....about a month or two old

My friend who was in town for the weekend popped it up as a random suggestion (super hero party: laid back luke/zedd/congorock) wasn't TERRIBLE

but we did find out after we got our tickets that sasha was at avalon. Cest la vie

[lt.roast.a.botch]

Hey caco0283, what were your favorite performers of the weekend? The webcast was disappointing in it's selection but I understand the clearance factor. I'm slightly surprised that they don't have the negotiation power to be able to choose who to show in the contract. Maybe in the future if webcasting becomes standard in festivals. Really thought Ultra did an excellent job with the camera angles. However, at times it seemed like the crowd was more interested in where the camera was then getting down.

[myvelouria94]

Just got home from Miami, phew. Gui Boratto was fucking amazing. Just pure art. Art Department was sooo good... and Tale of Us. Richie Hawtin threw down an incredible high energy set on Friday, blew me away. Drumcode party was awesome despite the lineup change. Tried to make it through the Cocoon party but was so pissed when Maetrik didn't show up that I left, ran into Sven Vath on the way out.
First WMC experience a success, hope to make it next year. Great time.

I want a video of this. The reactions must have been priceless.

[bemerritt]

Wow. Talk about a party. This weekend just moved close to the top. Traveled all the way from the bay area and cannot wait to go back next year. A couple highlights:

Hard Miami to kick things off Thursday was great.
Loved seeing Richie for the first time.
Magda became one of my new favorites.
2manydjs remained one of my favorites.
Justice was Justice.
The Carl Cox tent was massively insane.
The Sasha afterparty was exceptional.

Those memories will bring me back for next year. If anyone has any specific questions about cost/venue/etc, feel free to ask. Last years thread gave me most of the info I needed to make this a successful trip and would love to return the favor for anyone interested in this event.

[zimmy1222]

sure, how much money did you spend???

[bemerritt]

sure, how much money did you spend???

Short answer, a lot.

Long answer:
Went into the weekend with the intentions of it being a one time thing and that if something could make the trip better, it was paid for without hesitation.

200 for a spot in a southbeach condo
90 for a shuttle service to and from the event
100 for after parties
300 for the ticket
200 spent inside the festival
100 on goodies
300 on food/drinks not at the festival
Flight was free with miles.

So about 1500 to have a killer time. The nice part was that the after parties, condo, flight, and ticket can be purchased way ahead of time and when the funds are available. The rest is all cash that you can pinch if need be. For example, I opted for roughly twenty $5 waters instead of filling up a camel back in the bathroom sink. Plan ahead, save some money, and use that tax return. It was worth every penny for me.

Why would you want to be friends with somebody who had bad taste?
