Sounds like a plan to me, I'm up for it. Tell me where and i'll bring a box of tunes.

As we stand on the eve of 2005...
well like I said, I HAVE considered those who have other obligations and monetary limitations (much like myself especially if I considering hosting shit all over the fookin world).
So here goes... since a SIZEable population on here is in the states.... it makes is ONLY FAIR to host one in the states... would I do it on the eastern shores..... more than likely cause it helps me save money on flight tickets ..... money that I could spend on the event..... do I wanna host it at the WMC ?? possibly not ?? I have too long a list of reasons.... but the biggest one for me is that I dont wanna prositute this event..... it's gonna be [ms]'s FIRST EVER get together and I wanna make it exclusive.... just like access to the downloads page or even more difficult like getting your show ONTO it.....
so if we / I cannot get this event to become a money generating event.... we just convert it into a small get together at a local lounge (of which I would be more than happy to rent out as much as I can) or even pay for renting out the whole place so that we can get talent from on the forums to play on here and we fucking host that shit for 3 weeks straight.....
now in light of how obsessed I have been with the UK scene (esp since it's the homeland of Diggz) I DEFO wanna get some action going there too...... and the UK population on the forums is the second highest so it would only make more sense.....as for commercial versus a private event.... same rules from UK apply, I would be willing to fork over some dosh in order to get the event going if it has to be private (donations would be accepted :lol: )
with that said... jibby get out of the fucking ice age and get yourself a fucking passport dude....
-e-
Yeah, Jibs, even I have one...
Multiple smaller events spread out over the year are an option too? Or maybe this an idea for later on, if the first one has proven successful. But that way you can organise some smaller ones, and have them all around the globe. The creditcard-diehards can fly anywehere, an the not-so-rich members will have a go in their vicinity a least once...
[quote=Jibgolly] btw, you should collaborate with this unome fella. he seems to give good head at parties. [/quote]
No wonder I couldn't find SickBoy for 45 minutes that night!
Re: As we stand on the eve of 2005...
well... I live in the DR (Dominican Republic) and i'd be willing to fly to the states for a MS event, hell yeah, we have the Guacara Taina here, its an undergournd cave capable of taking more than 1000 people... though this is not an option, too far away from everyone.
anyhow... I support this 100% peace ironz

:shock: :shock: :shock:
that place sounds great.. got pics?
Is it the cave where Deep Dish did their 12 hour set?
-Psynce-
An underground cave or an old dark factory building .... would be perfect
If I wasnt already scheduled to be in Mexico/South America for the New Year! I won't be back 'till Jan. 10th. The next big event I will be looking forward to is WMC. I would love a trip to the UK, but I'll be saving those frequent flyer miles for the summer journey!
So concider this my Christmas Eve farewell, I leave tonight and won't be back on for a few weeks. I'll be all geared up for WMC when I get back. I would at least like to help the planning of a small scale [MS] gathering in FL or somewhere within a 500mile radius while you wankers have your UK gig! We could be setup to broadcast each event back to back. Just a thought, run with it. Merry Christmas [MS] ! !

Guys... I think you should come to Argentina. That would be a lot cheaper, as one Euro is like 4 pesos (national currency) here. You could do some great stuff with little money...
I think you should really consider this option!
James Zabiela is a member of the forum... I vote him to be THE DJ! :D
Let's rent an airport, and let's dance over the landing zone, with all the lights turned on!
Call me crazy... but this is by far the biggest, and best organised Digweed "fan club" sort of site. Now with enough planning, far enough ahead, he may well be willing to do a private gig especially for [ms] as a thankyou.
He recently did a gig for no pay here in Australia as a friendly thankyou for one of our promoters. (Obviously all expenses paid - but still...)
You just never know. :)
I think it's a great idea.

hehe, and a DJ spinning from the cockpit of a 747 with a whiskey and belgian beer bar in the passenger's zone :twisted:
[quote=Gloomy]It's nice 'day dreaming' about having one big [MS] party, but I'm afraid it's extremely complicated to bring a lot of members together from all over the world. It's not only about planning, but also about money (a lot of member would have to take the plane), agreements, responsibilities ... [/quote] WMC. I guarantee I'm not flying to any of these parties unless I'm already flying to the area for a different reason. If it's not thrown during the WMC, I don't see it happening. Anybody that really thinks everybody's going to just up and fly somewhere for this one "gettogether" is mistaken, because that's all we'll have to do while on the vacation. It needs to be somewhere where there's a lot to do, and where a lot of people will already be. I don't expect it to be a huge, exclusive gettogether... I just expect a tent somewhere with a DJ in the middle of a park or something in the middle of everything else where we can just stroll up and chill between seeing the big-named DJs.
[quote=unome]I can only go by what i know in this area... there is a huge club in Tampa, Masquerades, it holds about 1500 or so heads. I would have to try to contact the mgr.. but I know a few people that have done shows there.. and EDM show, and KRS 1, and it is very reasonable. We might be even able to get around having a bar guarantee.
Other than that, there are a couple other places around, not quite as big, but doable. One is called Czar in ybor.. the GM, Sandra, loves house, and we have been trying to get the tampahousemusic dj's in there, but with the holidays it has been a bit hectic.
i wonder if anyone knows the owners of simons in Gainesville, that would be a great spot.. like Masquerades, it has multiple rooms, so we could have different dj's going on at once.[/quote]
Anywhere in Florida is cool for me. 8)
I doubt I would be able to jet over to Europe, if so I would have done it already. Anywhere in the Eastern United States and I'm there though.

LOL Gloomy... I notice that you're getting the idea! :twisted:
Maybe this is too much... But how about bulding a [MS] Tent on a Creamfields next year?
Some Dj's could support the idea...
I think Europe would be ideal...!
airfare is not all that expensive, plus we could have our MS friends that live over there show us what's up!
wmc makes the most sense atm....as for promotion, there are enough pro dj's that can spread the word if they want to (fair, digs, kosmas, etc...) and instead of asking them to play for us, why don't WE just play for them, given that they may come. If those top dj's come, don't ask them to spin, let them hang out and enjoy themselves with us while we spin for them. Personally, I think this ms event should be our own talent without saturating it with the professional talent. Show the world what ms has to offer...
Re: As we stand on the eve of 2005...
That is an awesome idea. Especially b/c I might be in the UK for grad school next year. Also the t-shirt idea is a great idea, I'd sport that shirt with so much pride.
I think this idea is a real go-er.
If we could get a spot at WMC or a tent at a European festival then if we pitched it right we could have the services of at lest four A list DJ's. I've sure anyone from Danny H to John Digweed would glad spin for us if approached. Also need somewhere with some liberal attitudes, so my vote would deffo go with the the 'Dam. Easy for the UK and europe peeps, and a Treat for our yankie cousins. :Naughty:
You know it makes sense. :wink:
I would not be able to make it to a Euorpe event...but a stateside one would be awesome-o!
I veto FL just cuz they already have the WMC down there, somewhere else would seem better just on that fact. :wink:
Yeah i agree with the stateside comment.say nyc maybe

[b]I veto FL[/b] just cuz they already have the WMC down there, somewhere else would seem better just on that fact. :wink:[/quote]
NO!
Sorry! Its true though, there is so many wonderful parts of the country why waste another music event on FL :lol:
i agree, i was/am being proactive
iowa man. no one ever goes there lol.
Re: As we stand on the eve of 2005...
I agree, I don't want to go to FL either. And I definitely can't afford to go to Europe.
iowa? sounds eeery, but might be ok. there's gotta be plenty of fields in that state to have a good old fashioned all-night-music-pow-wow. :D
I drove 6 hours to go to a party in Des Moines a few years ago.. it was in an old stripped slaughterhouse, way out in the middle of some dude's ranch. The dj booth was inside the slaughterhouse in a grain silo that was tipped on its side, turned into an airplane with crazy wings & shit. Pimpin. It might win my "most secluded party" award.
I drove to a party in South Dakota few years ago that probably gets second place... that place sucks. I recommend staying far from Souix Falls, or anywhere near South Dakota. :lol:
Re: As we stand on the eve of 2005...
How 'bout Winconsin! I know Iowa and its no different than Missouri, Illinois, Kansas and Ohio.. fuck you mioght as well drive to Chicago. Wisconsin seems different, but Kenosha is cool and there is usually a nice country club somewhere in the middle of nowhere that will make for a nice size venue. But seriously we should be thinking about a central location eazy for all of us to get to.
BTW Merry Christmas!

id probably would not make it but... i think that the US is a good choice cause lots of members are US citizens and also hotels, booze, food and other expenses are cheaper than europe if im not mistaken
btw an awesome idea encryption! :RockOn:

Well, unless you want a men only party, you will need to make it slightly less [ms] exclusive... :ROFLMAO:

the brotherhood of [ms] :lol:
but i doubt you would complain ubiqe :P
:Who: I don't like eating sausage.
NYC or London are both good choices. Of course I'm partial to NYC cause I live there. :D I would love a t-shirt in any case.
Re: As we stand on the eve of 2005...
you have the best stage in the world for the WMC...why not have it then..before , during or after........with so much talent on this board you can have everyone spin..make the party last 2-3 days ..i dont know just a thought ...
- i was too lazy to read the whooe thread , sorry if somebody suggested WMC before me
[quote=ubiqe]Well, unless you want a men only party, you will need to make it slightly less [ms] exclusive... :ROFLMAO:[/quote]
well the idea IS to get to know the friends you've made on here..... not make it a regular night out looking for the goods.....
