Party Vibe

DOLE CLASS!!!!:laugh_at:

i get paid fuck all but i’ll manage to get there. i’ll just have to resist spendin my wages all on music, drugs and music for about a month 😉

Personally (as I said before ) I dont think it is bad at all – bearing in mind what needs to be organised,

I mean how many of us have paid double / tripple for a comerscially organised event?
Personally I can get through double this (and some) on 1 night out in London, not even taking travel expences into count!!

If we are talking about this event going on next year – I’m sure people could put by some money each month to go if they really wanted to and there will be others offering lifts / meet ups to share petrol / traveling.

➡ The co-op idea means that Glo will be relying on people he has never met in real life to do vital things for him which could lead to him being prosecuted by the authorities if the things dont show/get done.
I can see why he has reservations about this – I know I would too.

:question_I really am beginning to wonder if this meet-up is such a great idea when we already have people whining about the £25 a head cost which [in my opinion and I have experience in this field] is actually too low and we are going to make an overall loss on the event.
How much do you guys spend on your drug of choice on a good weekend? I know from watching mates down the pub that £25 is easily spent and there would be nothing to show for it bar a hangover :you_crazy

:rant: :rant: :rant:
I would like to take this opportunity to point out to you that Glo is NOT CHARGING for his time [conservative estimate based on charge rates in other similar fields is £20+ an hour] which he could have done as this project will consume in the region of 1000 hours of his life which he will never get back. That time will comeout of his personal life and will have a direct impact on his family who will miss out on his undivided attention when he is dealing with this TENs :rant:not to mention the inevitable stress he will go through trying to get everything in the right place at the right time.:rant:

Its all very well saying it should be cheaper etc etc but at the end of the day when you apply for a license [it would be lunacy to do a meet-up of this nature without one and would mean that those who have to travel in excess of 100 miles wont come in case it gets shut down][:bad_idea: of course if you are local you wont mind but object to paying – whats that? an ‘I am alright jack so screw everyone else’ attitude perhaps?:bad_idea:] you are bound by certain legal requirements as part of the license and they have to be complied with or you can be fined and slammed up.

You know, at the end of the day, there is a very simple solution to this problem. If you cant bear to part with £25 to ensure you can have a pleasant weekend event in a safe enviroment without the threat of the party being shut down if the police find out and the equipment being seized plus the benefits of toilets, a water supply and first aiders on site……DONT COME
putting these events on is hard enough without people bitching about how they could do it better.
In fact I will go one better 💡 – if you think it should be done for nothing then put your money where your mouth is and put on an event yourself :you_crazy:you_crazy

:rant: :rant: :rant:

Fucking hell ill keep my nose out in future! I dont mind paying £25, i was just offering help and wanting to get involved.

KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid

Glo’s idea of a couple of stages and a cafe area would be much easier to organise than some multi-rig event with loadsa random crews. Throw in the threat of police shutting it down and things are gonna get complicated. An event with 500 people max seems like a really feasible idea, im confident it would be an excellent festival if done in this way. raaa

We got 2 lasers we use for our free parties which we will also be happy to bring (obviously) – 1 is 100mW green and looks like it could cut you in half, and the other is 150mW green/red, and does yellow by mixing the 2.

I’d happily pay 25 quid for a weekend of quality music, it sounds like a great idea, and I’ll gladly help with setting up/digging toilets/whatever/de-rigging at the end of the event. If you need a sound engineer for any bands etc I’d be happy to do that too (providing i can get time off work next year).
