Hey all...
Just wondering if anyone got their hands on (+ has kept) the edition of 3D World from a couple of weeks back (must have been the week before he played at Home) with the Armin feature in it... Apparently it was quite a large article on him?
Anything interesting? Anything worthwhile trying to track down? I tried to get my hands on it but was too late...
I also looked on the 3D World site + nothing there... So it'll be up to some lovely person out there to help me out + maybe scan it in?
Heheh... Unless anyone knows a site where it has already been uploaded to?
If anyone can help out it'd be MUCH appreciated :happy2: |

| I picked that issue up when i was in melbourne a few weeks ago to see armin at QBH. I kept the posters but threw out the rest. It wasn't anything special, just the same old tired questions. I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. You're better off reading the interview stipsy did with him, i think its on the scene. There's a link in the pump up thread. |

Ahhhhh OK - well that's cool... Thanx for letting me know nothing major was missed out on... Thought it could just be that same old regurgitated stuff that you see in almost every feature on the guy... Almost like they do a cut-paste from his website bio? ;)
Btw already checked that Stipsy interview... :) |

Evan,
I'd been talking to Armin/his manager since november last year (and actually confirmed in person in HK), AU.TA meetups in Mlb, Syd and Brisbane. It was all to be done 2 weeks before he was playing. They both seemed cool to do what they'd done over in the US (as you'd of read about on his forum).
I didn't announce it as there was a chance it'd of fallen through, but to find out it didn't fall, and to find out it HAPPENED down in mlb, and was kept quite is pretty annoying.
$tip$y: Armin has done meetups all through the US when he's played there. Was there any reason why you decided to keep it to close friends only? Were you told to keep it quite? Armin and his manager (Dave Lewis) in Hong Kong told me 20 people per city was the amount he'd meet and greet before the event. Can I ask how you managed to get something I got told I had?

We were told to keep it quiet and personally it was better off that way, at the end of the day you cant make everyone happy, because we would of loved to make a thread about it, to share our excitement.
Bottom line is though, who do you invite and who dont you invite??
So we kept it to a small number there was like 6 or so of us.
How did we manage it, well it actually was our third attempt to have the meeting, the first two fell through, im not going to advertise how we done it because i think i will use the same technique for other djs you may head down to aus.
You must remember we are in melb you are in syd, as for you being told you had it well i dont know what happened there, as i said before our plans fell through twice and it wasnt easily done believe me. |

is it just me or does that sound a tad lame?? like "ohhh i'm so uber cool cos i have this special method for meeting djs, and omg i so have to meet them all so i'm gonna guard this secret super carefully"
in the end, they're (djs) just humans like the rest of us....it's not THAT big of a deal :rolleyes: |

I'd like to tell u a bit more about this, so here goes
I Know some melb ppl who were big fans of Armin & Wanted to meet him so I contacted some people I know at Armada who I've done press work for, and asked how to go about it, and talked to fellow ta's who did the meetups in the USA With Armin & Ferry & ran them highly well. I then did what they'd told me and passed the information onto a couple of melb ta's who set it up from there.
Even in the small number of people who were invited, there were people who were finding out, trying to invite themselves, their mates, and people who blatantly didn't give a about the original group going, so they kept the numbers down for those reasons, it was a no-win situation and It only came off on the 3rd attempt anyway as said by Jolene. With some of the people in melb I can see exactly why they had to keep the plans secret, the AUTA is so much more individualistic in groups, I could point out 2 or 3 'lots' in melb alone who like to socialise, post together, and goto certain events together, whereas had this been a UKTA meetup, there are about 60 of us perhaps who could all go together, no1 trying to upstage the next person and so on.
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 :) |
