i43 - Possible new venue

[Isphera]

I prefered my desk made out of cookies. Although I suspect that I wouldn't have a desk if that were the case

A controversial suggestion Oric;

Don't go to reading?

Fair point, but I think I said in the first post that the lineup on the Friday this year is so good, there is no way in hell I don't go.

[Vicious Horizon]

It's an OK lineup I guess.

Inb4 you regret not coming to i43.

Calculating it, it's about £70 over five days. Yes, the car is ecomonical, but doing that much driving won't really matter. I'm not going in-depth into comments on my personal financials (which I actually find insulting that you would use that as a reason for me coming), but whilst I am very fortunate to be in the position I am, previous expenditures (such as my bass), student living costs and savings for future ones (i.e my planned trip to Vegas), have made things like that difficult to do. Plus, aside from cost, it would also be a 4 hour round trip on thursday, basically nullifying the EAS (get there early, set-up, then drive back), a further 2 hours Friday night, getting to i43 about midnight, two hours back on the sunday, then another hour and a half on the 1st - madness!

try 10-20 to the gallon for work every day of the week then complain. its an I series in the summer its a must. wont have my new car by then it seems but will still travel in something lol mpg.

Oric, you going to Reading with anyone else?

[Vicious Horizon]

But yeah, Oric.

You /will/ regret not coming to i43. Reading will probably be on TV, which you can then download from the internet, I know it's not the same, but it's more convenient, comfortable and much more rewarding than going to a sweaty, loud and wet gig

But it's going to sweaty, loud and wet gigs I enjoy. Yes, I enjoy playing with you guys as well, but as I said, with the line-up on the Friday being as good as it is, I'm not missing it. Would I regret it? Yes, undoubtably. But I also have to weigh in the time, effort and money it would take to do both, which, as I said, is not desirable or possible.

And the TV point is a non-starter - sure, I can watch all manner of live gigs on TV and YouTube, but nothing compares to the atomosphere of a live gig.

[Vicious Horizon]

Sadface.

So your saying people (bands) you don't even know come ahead of the 20 or so people that will be at i43, at least 10 of which you spend a lot of time with gaming and talking to....these bands will be around for ages, where as its not likely that we will all keeping going to i-series year after year...I R DISAPPOINT

[Isphera]

Joking or not, as far as I see it, and as you should know, attempting to pursuade me in changing my mind or guilting me into it just doesn't work. Best thing to do - hope that they don't shift it.

[Colonel Mitch]

Yes.

Out of interest oric, who is playing you want to see, and what time does the last band you want to see finish?

[Vicious Horizon]

Is it you driving that's the issue, or the actual time spent travelling?

[Target]

LoL lets just kidnap Oric and his pc

[Target]

Well it looks like its going to Telford and is going to be massive, most people on Tek9 have seen this a good thing, the event that Stoneleigh should have been, tbh I think stoneleigh was really good just because everyone was in the same hall. And everyone thinks that having it at a more central location is a great thing. Personally I can't wait
