When the time is right. Wink ;)

I don't want to say too much because things like the format of the night etc etc were only agreed on last night, and there are more meetings to be had before things are finalised.

So where's my Fabric card, Mal?


Honourary Fabric membership coming right up. Even if you've never been to one of our shows Wink ;)

Pity about RR, but trust me, the progressive scene in Adelaide is better off without it.

Greetings to all the other crew hanging around here. Good luck with the night, Aaron. Good to see some diversity in the crews promoting shows in this city.

LOC - Am I bug man? Are you talkin about my avatar on the other forum? What sort of house? Commercial..... maybe. The line up will consist of mainly 'name' DJs, but the line up isn't 100% confirmed yet. We aren't going to be trying to 'educate the public' with boundary pushing music or anything like that. We just want everyone there to have fun.

when djaaron says its under control, it's under control;

u should see the way this man lights a fire - philosophically and literally - it's always under control LOL :lol: LOL :lol:

That fire lighting was a joint effort Lotus! I cant take all the credit for it. But yes, everthing is under control.

I have revised my previous estimate on how many people would fit in the club aslo..... It is now 450 people with the seating there, and 600 without. The place always looks a little smaller the second time you go there. It's still f***n big though.

It's pretty hard to judge things like crowd sizes (when the crowd isn't there). I guess when we fill the place up for the first time pretty soon we'll see how many people really do fit in it.Wink ;)

Like the headlines should have read:

Brazil can, Olive Khan-t!

Luck had nothing to do with it. This was destiny and redemption for 4 years ago. At the end of the day the best team one, and this was a victory not just for Brazil but for football in general.

you make me laugh goatboy ... its too easy too wind you up.

would you like me to admit that they deserved this cup?

well i think your probably right but im not going to admit it.

Pfft!!! :p ;) :p

Let's put it in the diary. Germany 2006. Well now that both teams automatically qualify, lets get behind the Socceroos and hope Soccer Australia make the most of this World Cup and find a way to stay solvent!

Old 2 Jul 2002, 5:44pm#59
drwahwah

Goatboy The winners no longer automatically qualify for the next fianls so the Socceroos could end up playing Brazil to qualify if Brazil plays as bad as it did in the qualifying matches.

The problem with Australia qaulifying is that they would probably play no better than Saudi Arabia did this time. At least Australia should make it to the final of the Rugby world cup next year even if the All Blacks decimate them in the final.

Old 2 Jul 2002, 5:48pm#60
goatboy

Ain't that a bitch! Oh well, could end up being a good thing with the squad having to stay competitive for 4 years instead of relying on automatic entry. Germany 2006 could end up being very exciting with many footballing powers havig something to prove next time around (Argentina, France, Italy, Spain, etc.) and a chance to see if the success of the smaller nations really was just a fluke.

I disagree, Ronaldo should've been given a red card for that offensive haircut! OMG it was shocking.

Germany really deserved to win in my eyes :(

i meant big man

you scratch mine and i'll scratch yours
i don;t just play deep house - that would go down real well at empire....not

i also play funky stuff - but suppose it isn;t always that commercial.

names, schnames.. get the young blood coming through...thats my opinion;D

Old 3 Jul 2002, 10:03am#63
DjAARON

Goatboy - Yeah it's licensed for around 450 people, but that's because of the fire escape. You have to go down stairs to get out, and the size of the license is limited by the size of the fire escape. The club would fit 600 people without a problem though.

LOC - It's fine to say "names, schnames....get the young blood coming through" but young blood do not pull crowds, and when you're trying to fill a 450 person venue on a friday every week it's not really a practical thing to say.
That's not to say that you'll never get to play, but first things first..... I need to get the night working. Then after it has settled and hopefully built a steady crowd we will have some guest DJs and stuff. You know what they say..... business before pleasure.

luv the venue, esp the balcony - picture a warm summer evening on the balcony with some groovy tunes and everyone in full party mode... luvverly! :blush:

Old 3 Jul 2002, 11:41am#67
DjAARON

Getting the balcony sorted out is another thing that we are aiming for. I think it has been used before, but it would only be used in summer. I think the owners want to do something like the Heritage / Jimmy Rowe's has with the pull down plastic to enclose it for use in winter.:D

Ok so I've heard the venue is fantastic & was chatting to a dj friend who plays there & was definitely praising the place...Now you say the format is changing but are the current djs staying?

Slips into leathers and turns very bright light on and aims towards Djaaron ja djaran tell us your manifesto your secret plans for club domination and think before you talk as ard haus will bring you nothing but pain :-0 :-0 :?

Old 3 Jul 2002, 2:39pm#70
DjAARON

pINc - We haven't decided anything yet, nor have we spoken to any of the current DJs, so I don't think it would be very nice for me to discuss their jobs with you before we discuss it with them.

DrWahWah - I should really start a separate topic, because the start of this one was when I had only seen the club very quickly, and had no say in the format of the night. That has changed, and so will the format.
If you are refering to the start of the thread when I said that the music format was house trance and maybe hard house (can't remember exactly what I wrote), then no, F***K NO, hard house would not work at BCWC on a weekly friday night. I don't want to give away too much just yet, but rest assured that there will be nothing hard about it. I'll keep you posted.

what about sheep chasing drwahwah?;D

just joking

just cos it is the only sport y'all are good at doesn;t mean ya need to own them. i'm sure we could find you guys another sport to play. get Lomu doing figure skating prehaps? or maybe ballet?

What I should have said was that the 'magic number' is 450ish, but I think what determines that number is the amount/size of fire exits, not the actual floor space. I don't think it would be over crowded at it's licenced capacity, unlike some other venues.

It's based... on floor space, toilets and fire exits...

Yeah, but at BCWC the only thing stopping it from having a larger license is the fire escape. There are more than enough toilets, and more than enough floor space, but the back fire exit is down a set of stairs which would need to be made larger for the licensed capacity to be made larger.
