What are the chances of a one-off, huge, national BL meetup in Melbourne?
What got me thinking about this is that I decided tonight I'd like to fly over to Melbourne for NYE.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but with this much warning it'd be awesome if we could pull off a huge, one-off national BL meetup. :D
Discussion? If you think it wouldn't, please say why. If you think it would, please say why too. :)
 
you can try..but it will be hard, because everyone does different things for new years cause so much stuff is going on at that time.
For example, if you wanted to meet a rave, you probably won't get me there cause I'm going to spending NY with my gfriend who doesn't go to raves - and as sexy as you are Jake, it aint gonna happen..
maybe meet for a big party some time other than new years and give people plenty of notice.....
also, consider the consquences of having 100 + bluelighters meeting up and organising it in a forum where WE KNOW we are being watched...
 
Yeah I know... but I can't see it being much different to the thread that will eventually turn up in the Events forum for a huge Melbourne meetup.
I'm hoping that if the seed is planted this early, something might happen. Who knows how long Bluelight will last? It'd be nice to meet as many of each other as possible. :D
 
Nope... I was just saying that we can do this because the opportunity is here. Things change over time, and it would be a shame if we missed doing something like this at all. :)

Since im probably going ot be in melb for nye, i'd be up for it, hijinx too, shes all about meetups :)
 
sounds like a good idea jakoz.. u could also have it as a pre or after party, that way if ppl have other plans or ppl they wanna see they can do that as well :)
 
it may be easier if each state has their own representative and decide where the majority wanna be on NYE. then all heads come together and make a decision.
if u want to do a national meeting, u have to start planning now. there are heaps of finer details to cover.
good luck!
 
As far as I know, I'm the only one coming over from the west, so I elect myself as rep. ;)
Who else? :)
 
heheh i can just imagine... a huge group of mofo's dressed brightly all bopping away and hugn everyone :) ..
*i like this idea... this is a nice idea*
 
It's workable, but specifics (e.g. alternative venues or activities, or even what to do in emergencies etc) should be outlined first. I guess most would be keen for a meetup somewhere in Melb NYE.
Jakoz - Good idea :)
 
Being IN melbourne, i reckon thats a great idea,BUT i'm personally stuffed for that idea (thinking of trying malaysia's rave scene for NY03)....
Why not have a big meet up at a large rave thats already got hordes of Bluelighters going too anyway? Something like Earthcore - just put up a poster for a bluelight meeting place on the message board there.... Or even better at the Ecclipse festive in SA - thousands are travelling nationally and internationally for that....
Just a thought....
Add: - Forgot to say, New Years would be nice for a meet up but as several have already said, most people will have other commitments that would be difficult to break...

I vote for either a pre-party or a post-party if we want numbers, mainly because everyone gets spread out much more over NYE with so many different things on.
Just a thought. :)
 
hmmm.
A meetup on new years DAY would work better. As stated everyone does different things on the night, But I'll assume that everyone would be happier to 'meet' when the nights festivities have subsided.
Jakoz: If you build it, they will come.
 
I could so be done! But NYE man, I dont know, maybe, a lot of people will want to head to their fav raves in their region. But a National meetup, even an East Coast Meetup would rule. I suggest a Sydney meet-up for NYE if any, you must disregard my Sydney biases. The reason I suggest this is that it would be halfway for Melbournites and Brisbanians, you could arrange a coach or something, good idea. Lets see what happens, the best Nationalmeet up had to be Hijinxs learn from the masters...
 
Erm I dont think so, Hijinx Last Dance was mostly sydney-siders, but for twisted republic we pulled Melbourne, canberra, sydney, newcastle, and gold coast.
I'd like to point out that both these meet-ups were bought to you by -=> The PoSSe <=- (shameless plug)
I have to agree with Bunny tho, NYD wrecovery/meetup will draw more people.

Any takers ;)
In all seriousness, I think it could be highly likely that ^magenta^ and myself will not make it out on NYE, but will be doing something on NYD. Last year we went to summadayz which was quite good. I'd be up for a meetup there, the main restriction being that a lot of people will a) be too poor or b) to knackered for an NYE/NYD party double.
I'm open to suggestions tho, keep the ideas comin.
