well there's a place across from capitol 6 there downtown, upstairs from hte sushi place i think it is.

i got one there, it looked pretty stupid tho

but it would work for a lot of places, i guess esp. if you're a girl

and ther'es like 20 to choose from.

definitely worth a look.


so who can suggest a PLACE for this party? and a WAY of setting it up???? i dont think getting peopel to come would be that big of a problem..

thnx pat, need one for my friend, shes coming back to visit in a few days and doesnt have ID

as for that ta party, i dont think the WAY to get it all organized will not be a problem, the main concern is prolly the place for it. i mean, most of you guys here are dj's and we all have good tunes to spin, and like pat said there shouldnt be a prob with getting ppl to come; its the location that will be a bit of a prob to find, and most probably to pay for, unles we find someone nice with some space to offer for free

I have some ideas. But It really depends on how big you guys wanna go with this. I am behind this idea 100%. We could rent a hall or maybe go old school like in a wharehouse. There are alot of factors to decide, money a major one. The bigger the venue the bigger the sound system we will need, we could go cheesey on the lights. I might have some connections for this. If everyone that wants to get involved is really serious, we all should hook up.

how about we first see who's willing to go thru with this, cause if there will be very few ppl it will be a lil togh to pull it off
so lets see a show of hands

ok

Definetly, been thinkin about it all day.

oh yea

Check out www.masterplanproductions.com they have some decent prices on sound and lighting packages. Maybe they can knock off some of the prices if we supply our own turntables and mixer. Between all of us I think we could come up with a decent set-up. I have 1200's and a cheap(but decent) Stanton RM-3 mixer. Now for a venue a hall should be good enough, problem is renting one in say Van, would be alot more expensive than one in the suburbs, but I will research this. We will also need security for party crashers or whatever, so ask your biggest friends. In order to not get busted we would have to inform the police and the city of what is going on, because some citys don't like 'parties', the last thing we would want is for one of us spinnin a phat set and the police shutting it down. The people who would come to this party would be friends and acquaintances, so there will be no reason to promote this event, not many people would come see a bunch of DJ's they have never heard of. But if we all bring at least 10 friends we could do a pretty good jod filling the place up.

Well I don't want to take up anymore space, but thats some ideas off the top of my head. Peace!!!

i know a couple big dudes that are into trance and parties, maybe i can convince them to come and do security, still need others too tho.

I know a couple too, plus i ain't that small myself.

ok people,
If you are up to this I know few pretty big warehouses in Burnaby and one small place in north Van but its kind of expecive to rent
its after hours place and is good for about 150 people
assuming we wouldnt be bringing more than that
and yeah masterplan is the way to go for lights and sound cause I know my friend rented stuff from them when he was throwing parties
I'll ask him if he wants to help out cause he has money
but I can tell you right now its not gonna be a joke putting up even the smallest event, cause I know when I was planning one with this buddy, man, figure jumped to $3000 in no time
we just counted for some lights and not so many speakers
scafold for decks and rent of the place
so its gonna take quite bit of work and money
I also remembered that one can rent a club for a night to throw party for one or other reason (Richards on Richards did this for some slavic parties)
so we can look into that option ha ?
patticus you said you live on UBC as much as I recall, so did you ever go to Pit ? or whatever is the name of that bar-club joint over there
if thats any good, we could maybe ask for some playin over there
it would be great
but no liquor offcourse cause underage people will be there

and yes I agree John 00 Fleming is underrated on this board, he is the genius hehehehe

but anyhow, I dont what to discourage anybody, this is the most wonderful idea that I could have come across, and I have been dreaming about this for long time, to turn Van into real trance place but even small project like this for local buddies gonna take some serious planning
oh yes and let me tell you that I am broke right now so finnacialy I am useless
ok enough now, hit me with what you got
