I know that they will come if we book them - was just a cheeky nod to Wayne's World 2 that I re-watched recently.
Anyways, I have flirted (more than that, really) with the idea of putting on my own (small) event for a long time. Over the course of the second half of 2013 I even contacted basically my entire desired line-up and they all agreed in principle. I said that I'd follow up as and when plans progress to officially book them, but with my new job - shit's just got away from me.
I'm not really in a position to put one on all by myself (not only because of my job but because I don't have any experience with it). That said, I still want to do it.
Of the LADS on here that I rave with regularly, do you think it'd be a nice/doable idea for us to stick on a little rave together? Get a few of us involved in the organisation, split the costs and reduce our individual exposure when, inevitably, nobody turns up.
Disclaimer: Before Silver gets pissy about us using his brand, this would not be a HappyHardcore.com back/themed/supported/associated event.

I've never met you in person Jay and I live at the other end of the country from you. But I'd be more than happy to chip in some dosh later in the year for an event. I can't offer any experience in this type of thing though. What location do you have in mind?

Top lad! The location is one of the bigger issues. We would need to make a decision about whether the location should be dictated by a sort of equal mid-way point, geographically, between who was helping organise, or, on the basis of what area or region would give us the best chance of having a decent attendance.

Excellent mate. This is the kind of attitude we need!

"Ohhh look at me, I've had releases on CLSM and Scarred Digital and now I'm humble enough to offer my assistance in putting on a crappy little rave."
JK LOL.
But yeah, seriously, I'd already mentally signed you up mate. Cheers. :-)

No worries mate. It would probably make sense to either be somewhere in the midlands or London area. I'm willing to travel either way.

Don't think I can really do anything with regards to money and stuff and don't fit into your LADS category (yet, at least) but I'll be looking forward to buying a ticket if it's somewhere suitable :)

You could always ask CDJay for some advice on how to go about this, I'm sure he's more than willing to give you ideas on exactly how to go about this!

I didn't mean to make it sound like a clique kinda thing! Happy for anyone to get involved.

We did actually talk about it a fair bit last year. He's a legend. Always happy to listen and offer advice.

Hahaha sorry, I don't really think I can be relied on to be of any assistance at all anyway. I can probably manage to get myself to a venue and a ticket though :D

Haha! I liked that! & it still didn't put me off, I must be mad.
I'm up for helping out as much as possible mate & taking on a responsible role. I haven't ran events as such but ive hosted a few rooms at events.
I'm happy to help financially as well, like you I have toyed with the idea of running my own but don't feel confident on taking on such a task. This is all experience for as all without one person taking a major hit to the bank balance. BUT! Losing money is worst case scenario, I think between us we'd pull off a great night!

I don't know a great deal about running events but I would imagine that you would pretty much be guaranteed to lose money when starting up a new event. I can't see their being many events which do more than just break even.
Jay, I'm whatsapping you!

When I was planning it for myself, I was basing my calculations on getting absolutely nothing back. I think that is something everyone has to be comfortable accepting - that we may get absolutely no money back whatsoever. It might even be an idea to do the first night for free. We'll see.

Sorry mate - I got them but was out on the lash (out of character for me). We'll have a chat on there over the course of the weekend. :-)
