bugular tell Group: Members Posts: 482 Joined: Mar. 2003 Posted: Dec. 08 2003, 16:11 just had a crazy idea, but maybe oneday in the near future we could get around to organizing a fan convention, although it may be a little improbable because of the huge scope of places around the world that the users of this forum come from, it would still be really cool to meet up and take the isolation of being a MO fan away!   -------------- Light travels faster than sound, thats why some people appear bright until you hear them speak Back to top

Have there been many conventions? Whenever/wherever the next one is - I want to be there! -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Wanderer Group: Members Posts: 119 Joined: Aug. 2002 Posted: Dec. 08 2003, 19:24 Someone a few years back contributed a post to this forum asking "Is Mike Oldfield geek culture?" It's rather fitting methinks, that a cult act like Mike, himself something of a Trekkie, should have a convention in his honour. I just wish there were more fans here in Darwin, Australia, so we could get together for something like that... Back to top

TOBY Group: Members Posts: 1562 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Dec. 09 2003, 06:18 There was a convention I went to the day after the Edinburgh TB2 premier, it was good fun. The other day I was trawling round the various Jean-Michel Jarre websites (don't ask me why) and his fans seem to have conventions every other weekend! It would be cool to have another Mike convention, I would certainly make an effort to go if it were in the UK. Back to top

I've been to the TB2 tour Con. and the one at the premier of TB3! I also went to an Airborne one held at The Beacon! I'd love to see Througham as I've never been there! Back to top

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1357 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 10:53 Sorry,but i don't think it'd worth contacting Dark Star about anything,it all moves very slowly over there,sorry but it does. Back to top

comicwiz Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: Aug. 2003 Posted: Dec. 11 2003, 17:09 Here in Sydney we have 1 or 2 Mike conventions a year. The biggest attendance so far was 4 people. We even have had a couple of international guests attend. Cuds from the UK attended the last one and a fan from NZ made it in 2001. Whew!!! If we get much more interest we may have to hire a marquee. But seriously, YESFANZ of Australia & NZ were able to convince YES to extend their world tour to include some shows over here. I have set myself the collossal task of rally as many troops as possible together to get Mike to do a few shows here. He came to Sydney to promote TBII but didn't do any concerts. The last time he played here was during the Five Miles Out tour in 82. Back to top

Phil Devonport Unregistered Posted: Dec. 15 2003, 23:42 Please lets get together this year (Summer preferably). Toby.. wanderer... Hergest Ridge... we could hire some horses & stuff. We realy should organise an International convention!!!.. most of his fans speak english so we won't have to use Sign! & If we do we can always Sign a smile if nothing else!!!!   Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Jan. 27 2004, 17:26 someone pointed out to me that Mike has his biggest fan base in europe, so that would be central for the majority who would want to come. but how many would come? About 40 regulars here, other chat sites etc? I think it probably needs one person to start the ball rolling, suggest a location, set a date, then wait for response. Dark star would want to be involved. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

BOOsTER Group: Musicians Posts: 1024 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Jan. 28 2004, 10:52 if you wanna do one in central Europe, what about Czech Republic - > Prague? it's a nice mystic city... if it will be anywhere else I prolly won't be able to come but... I would be glad if you all could come to meet each other:) with or without me:) -------------- http://www.djbooster.net Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Jan. 28 2004, 14:53 I've always fancied a trip to Prague, and the wife says it has good shops, so I'll go with that. Now then, what size venue? Anyone here know much about the place? And date? Mid summer? We need some-one nearer to "case the joint" -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question?
