I posted it on avb forum, it's no different than what was posted here at TA

the main thing to think about really, is that I notice amongst some ppl here a lot of tensions in posting & it's always going to lead to some ppl losing out like, maybe it did sound 'lame' about how they did it, but if every1 tried it it wouldn't work, the best chances would be if one or two ppl arranged it & ppl let them do that & just turned up, then more would get to do the meetup without fears of being shafted

Originally posted by Ian^ Instead of trying to moan because Armin met them instead of you, think about the fact that if you'd all come together in the first place you might all have got to do it. Had you (DJ-Way) Organised a melbourne one for sure, would you have just invited who you wanted to or everyone too ? I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that. Armin was very kind to meetup with people and bitching at them because they had the determination to go ahead with it is pointless imo

The way I was planning on doing it was a 1st in best dressed for the 1st x( pre-arranged number agreed on by Dave) number of people. That was how I was going 2 do it, and take it through PM's and e-mails. (Same way I've read about it being done on his forum)

Thanks for explaining that Ian^, it makes much more sense, and shows more strings are needed to pull it off, which is what I was hoping for, not just a Syd vs Mlb issue. I'm nowhere near as bitter

Cheers,

hmm i don't think what i meant came across quite right....but it's late and i'm tired and i cbf...hehe........if organisin secret meet-ups with djs floats ppl's boats and makes em feel special, then more power to em i guess....but the whole elite "i have a super secret technique" thing just sounds a tad lame *shrug*

anyways....so, the UK TAs are a much more cohesive bunch than us aussies hey?? guess i'll have to see for myself when i'm livin there think they'll be nice to an un-cohesive aussie girl??

yeah, guess everyone has their 'ways' of doing so, but at the end of the day I do think it's a bit sad that regardless of what ppl think of armins music & style that they can't all pull together, maybe cos im so used to it amongst the majority of uk guys here who're a great lot and dont seem to disagree

again I can understand how this comes across as 'sneaky' or something but it was thought necessary to do so, and if it happens again, maybe more ppl would be invited, but again, if they invite too many, it makes the original organisational skills look bad


As for the UK.... well depends which bit ur staying in, obv we're not nearly as far apart as some in aus (syd to perth for example) due to the geographic nature, but there are several groups, the london lot for one, then the midlands, the northern ones, the scottish ones & the irish, a lot of that is just due to the ease of travel, that not everyone can travel 200 miles for one event, but on the big events they obv have big meetups, which bit u staying at ?

Don't get me started on you geezers... At the end of the day, what we write on here maybe negative, or bitchy, but all syd.au.ta's were @ his gig in sydney (except for the underaged - hi Matt_a ). How we get on IRL is a lil different to on here, just like any forum. Anyhow. Yeah. Thanks again.

We're in summer, you're in winter

Its got nothing to do with being elite,
its got to do with respecting armin's wishes, he didnt want a huge thing and i dont really blame him.
How would it be 25+ people all trying to talk to him at the same time, it wouldnt work.
And yes it was kept pretty low key, why because the first two failed and how can you advertise such a thing on a board like this, the members are growing by the day and not to mention all the people lurking the boards.
i am sorry people did miss out but at the end of the day thats the way the cookie crumbles. You can not make everyone happy.

i wasn't talkin about the fact that nobody was told....like i said, i didn't care at all if anyone got to meet armin....i was talkin about the "i have a secret technique which i'm gonna use to meet other djs now" thing....it just sounded funny to me....as in funny haha i wasn't saying she should reveal the technique....just meant it sounded a lil lame that sumbody would even bother mentioning the "i'm so cool cos i have a secret technique" thing at all!!! anyways, nuff bout that

and yeah, despite how it seems on here sumtimes, most of us who are geographically pretty close to each other get along great....it's not only UK.TA who feels the luv

I'll be living in London - getting there mid-August after 2 months travel thru rest of Europe....baptism will be Turnmills August 13 *lol* I'm committed to living in London for at least 3 months....if I'm liking it I'll stay - or else might go somewhere else in Britain......basically I'm free to do whatever the hell I choose til I gotta come back to Aus in June '05 Hmmm one of these days I should venture on over to UKTA forum
