Alright, here it is. MBU 2005 was quite a success with over 650 punters in attendance for an all-local, all-breaks event over 3 rooms at Colonial Hotel. Those that were there know what I'm talking about and those that weren't wish they'd have been there.
So here's the deal:
It was my intention all along for this to be a charity event and we made just enough after paying everyone (DJ's, MC's, Live Acts, Equipment Hire, Promotion, etc) for some money left over for this years event...which was the plan so we could do this years event the right way. So basically, this years event will be a 100% charity event with ALL proceeds going to the Starlight Foundation.
If you dont know about them, go here: www.starlight.org.au
They basically go into hospitals and provide much needed distractions for terminally ill children from poor families. Examples range from a trip to Movie World all the way to a local Footy game or concert. They are a non-profit, non-government organization which means they get no federal funding. They aren't a religous organization, in fact they refuse to make any decisions on religous, cultural or racial grounds. Basically, they're a top notch organization that does a lot of good for the community and doesn't ask for much in return except donations to keep the organization afloat.
When I was in the hospital in 2004, I spoke with many of the nurses about the organization, and all, without 1 being opposed, supported Starlight. So that was good enough for me to want to get involved. We've wanted to do a benefit for them with BW for years, but last years SE Asian Tsunami meant that we reaised money for World Vision instead.
So here's where you come in.
Because last years event was organized at such short notice, we had no ability to open up the event for possible ideas from others in the scene. This was unfortunate, but unavoidable due to the time constraints we were under. Thank God for Drew and Guyno last year; could not have done it without them, without a doubt. But it was a bit too much for 3 people to organize.
This year will be different.
This year, I'd like to offer everyone here on this website the opportunity to come to a general meeting so that we can discuss some of the issues we'll face with the event, i.e. venue, date, promotion, DJ's and money making ideas so that we can raise the most money possible for donation to this great cause.
I've already drawn up 2 pages of matters I'd like to discuss with all of you who want to be involved; the fact that I want drum'n'bass to be represented this year will be a good starting point.
SO!!!!
General Meeting will be held when? I want to hold it in the city somewhere for closer convenience for everyone. I'd prefer to hold it in the afternoon on Saturday January 21st, just because BW 4-Year Anniversary and Local Line-Up is on that night, so a lot of heads will be in or near the city anyways, including myself. But if everyone cant make that or ya'll think a meeting isn't something that needs to happen, then please tell me here. The reason for this thread is to gauge people's enthusiasm for the event, so if nobody is interested, tell me now. Like I said, it'll be a 100% charity event, so no money will be made by anyone running or playing at the event, which isn't everyones cup of tea and I understand that.
So Saturday January 21st, unless ya'll overide the idea. Let's get some ideas on possible venues for the meeting and a good time that wont conflict with BW or Local Line-Up.
Hope this wasn't too long, but the organization is legit and the cause is worthwhile. Let's get some talking started, because any ideas brought up in this thread will be brought up at the meeting, that I can assure you.
- While raising heaps of money for an awesome cause.
