Bpm 2009

[Adam_F]

BPM comes to the West Midlands!!!

3rd & 4th October @ the NEC

BPM website (http://www.visitbpm.com)

[jamesh]

oh nice... Will think about it but i see it's at the NEC... I would go if only it was a bit closer! Why don't they ever do anything around here????? :D

[Penfold42]

Something good to look forward to then.....:)

[Adam_F]

oh nice... Will think about it but i see it's at the NEC... I would go if only it was a bit closer! Why don't they ever do anything around here????? :D

I know, its got to be at least 18 miles away - how unfair :Censored:



Better get a good stock of booths ready ;)

[jamesh]

I know.... I mean if it would have been 10 miles or under that would have been acceptable but come on 18! who do they think we are.... Mobile DJ's or something...! :D


And oh yes plenty of booth production by then!... and more of a product range on the way possibly!!!

[Cheesey 1975]

Ha Ha Ha Ha

[djgordyp]

Well I am out on the Friday and free Sat and Sun so will keep it free in the diary and make the trip down. I know of a few others round here going so may go on the sat and stop over for some :beer1: :beer1:

Why would you want to travel all the way to solihull after the BPM show for this party? there's far better places to go in Brum centre than solihull.

Too true.

Guess it'll be a good night for the kids, which to be fair, is their target audience. Johnathan & the other guys that have jumped on the bandwagon are like a modern day Pied Piper for the DJ kids :D

Is this actually organised by Johnathan ?
Pioneer have done an aftershow party for the last 2 BPMs, and I can't see him missing out on that, or all the private parties that are held by the manufactures. It'd be unlike him to miss a free party!

This is mainly organised by tim and matt off of the djchannel.

Johnathan will be at this party not pioneers etc


And also this is a free party.

[jamesh]

oh why didnt you say it was free... Is there a limit on how much each person can drink????l... Going to that party will save me about £100 now

Got to love freeeeee boooze :D

And it's terribly nice of Jonathan to pay for it all at his free party :D:D:D

[Penfold42]

I don't get it? :o

Sorry I posted a picture there as well.....:o not sure what happened.

Perhaps it'll be worth trekking across the other side of Birmingham, to the middle of nowhere to go to then LoL

Second thoughts, I've just realised who those people are who have organised it. So perhaps we'll stay in Birmingham in the Mailbox for the proper parties! :beer1: :banana: :beer1:

Ha Ha, yeah.

I'm sure we could list the people who are going, and will actually go now. Then list the people who say they'll go, and won't :D

[Larry B Entertainment]

Its a bit of a way for me but since I don't get out much I might go to this one. I will run it past the mrs to see if I can get day release :Kiss 3:

You're from Redditch, 30 minutes drive :beer1:

We normally all meet for a drink or five....;)

MMost people go up in ones and twos, but then we all meet up. A couple of years ago, I spent an hour without moving near the entrance as I kept seeing people I knew.

I still have you number Neil, so you can come and hang out with us lot if you like. (Just make sure our arrangements are a bit better than last time! ;) )

Depending on the day your going/staying over there'll be an organised party held by one of the manufactures on the Saturday night, which is always good, and they'll be the MDD rabble out on the Sunday night as normal :beer1:

Obviously during the day there's plenty of chances for a :beer1: or two, unless your working at the show :mad:

[ross@rds]

Im looking at just the sat but may as well just make a weekend of it :P.

Yep, it's a good deal.

Even if you have no intention of going, but buy CD Pool CDs, it's worth buying a ticket to get one of the CDs cheaper than buying from CD Pool direct.

Might buy a ticket myself just to get a cheap CD :D

Not had the chance to listen to it yet, though, as I was out most of the day & working tonight.

which one did you get rob?

I got the radio one and its tracks Ive either got already (been released) or bland funky house tracks. Not that impressed and these are 14.95 or more......:S

I also went for the radio one.

Although I haven't played it yet, I've had a quick look at the track listing.

A number of the tracks look like they'll make the top 40, so it should save me a few pounds on buying chart singles over the next coupe of weeks.

I'm certainly not complaining. After all, it was free!

:D

because i got the email late at night and it just said the different type of cds. Dance ones I get already from djdownload.com and the rest are either genres I dont need so just click radio. Didnt look at the track listings

Well stop moaning then if you didn't look at the track listings!

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Darren I said I wasnt that impressed, hardly moaning is it. Granted its a free cd but the idea of it is to make you want to pay for the service.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Darren I said I wasnt that impressed, hardly moaning is it. Granted its a free cd but the idea of it is to make you want to pay for the service.

I know Neil, but you are saying you weren't impressed with the track listing even though it was a CD you chose without looking at the listing first!

[DeckstarDeluxe]

I know Neil, but you are saying you weren't impressed with the track listing even though it was a CD you chose without looking at the listing first!


Right, I picked the radio one because out of the discs on offer it would be the most useful one for me. Most of my work is weddings and surprisingly very few for 18th/21st but I always keep up to date with this.

Now the cd is 20 tracks and you can buy it one off for 16.95 or 14.95 I think if you pay monthly.

So that works out at about 85p per track. Granted alot of these are pre released but I reckon I'll use at most four of these 20 tracks and alot of the tracks personally I think are pretty poor. By that reckoning they work out pretty expensive per track.

Its not just the track listings Im not that impressed with but the cost and the quality of the tracks. I havent heard of some of the tracks on there regardless of me viewing the track listings before choosing.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Granted alot of these are pre released but I reckon I'll use at most four of these 20 tracks .

Because they are pre-release and you won't be using them until they are popular.


I havent heard of some of the tracks on there

Because they are pre-release and you won't be using them until they are popular.

Talk about missing the point...:bang:

If you go back to the last three months radio CDs, you'll find nearly all the songs charted. (top 40) Just because you haven't heard of them before doesn't make them poor, does it?

Thats the point is Im guessing at the most I'll use four off this cd. By the time the songs are popular they'll more than likely be released online already. If this cd was £8 then I would properly sign up but the return you will get off paying for this. There are very few gigs that I do that you can get away with using pre released songs. Only three songs so far this year that Ive been waiting for release date were Steve Angello's - SHow me love, black eye peas boom boom pow and Dizzel Rascal - bonkers. If i had signed up for cd for this year I'd of had to pay out for six of these cds which would of been £90ish.

[DJMaxG]

Im coming to that one this year ill be on the djtutor/djchannel stand promoting


Why would you want to travel all the way to solihull after the BPM show for this party? there's far better places to go in Brum centre than solihull.

Maybe ... Maybe not - according to the 'Organisers', the event is only roughly 10 minutes away


Yep, it's a good deal.

Even if you have no intention of going, but buy CD Pool CDs, it's worth buying a ticket to get one of the CDs cheaper than buying from CD Pool direct.

Right on track Adam
You could infact buy a load in and flog both the tickets and CDs on ebay.

But, Great idea - I'll probably buy one to get the free CD, that is if the offer is still open. (not one of these introductory things)

[ross@rds]

I've got a ticket if anyone wants it as i'll no longer be going.

[Corabar Steve]

You could infact buy a load in and flog both the tickets and CDs on ebay.
Apart from the fact that ebay don't allow the sale of event tickets anymore.

PLus the cd is next to useless now as the tracks are "out of date" for a promo cd.

But they aren't al promo CDs...;)

[womble]

I'm coming, not sure which day yet, maybe both??!?!?

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Where are people staying? Looking forward for the big knees up :D

[OllieJames]

I'm buying my tickets soon hopefully.. Me & my Dad will go, but i'm trying to persuade him to take me on the Sunday as that's when i believe most of you lot are going?

[Spirits High]

Won't be there this year as I've got a Wedding fayre at the Makeney Hall hotel :(

[Shaun]

A 6 hour drive down on the Sunday, after a late finish the night before. No thanks. I won't be there.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Pah! Excuses. :sj:

[Shaun]

Sensible is the word you're looking for. ;)

I know some people do make the long trip down by road, more fool them for taking unnecessary risks with so little sleep.

I did try again to book a flight down, the only flights departing on the Sunday to Birmingham is either 5pm or 8pm. :(

It'd be nice to make one of these trade shows at some point. I'm still trying to get round the biggest hurdle with these shows that are South of the Border.....they're full of English people *shudders* :d

[Charlie Brown]

I don't know what to do.

Do I stay in a hotel or just go home?

[OllieJames]

I don't know what to do.

Do I stay in a hotel or just go home?

I'm going home which ever day I go.

[Charlie Brown]

Hmmmm.....

Darren, what do shall I do? :sj:

[rob1963]

I'm buying my tickets soon hopefully.. Me & my Dad will go, but i'm trying to persuade him to take me on the Sunday as that's when i believe most of you lot are going?

I'm going on the Sunday.


I'm going home which ever day I go.

Me too, as I have to get home to work on the Sunday evening.

I'd prefer to stay overnight so I could have a couple of drinks, but work comes first!

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Stay in a hotel make a weekend out of it. Ive turned down work for the sunday as I'll happily wager the networking I do at bpm will lead to far more work.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Hmmmm.....

Darren, what do shall I do? :sj:

Stay over - I told you I'd look after you. *gets Charlie's Mum's phone number again to ring her and promise to look after him* :sj:

[Charlie Brown]

Phaha yeah yeah ok....what hotel you guys in? :)

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Phaha yeah yeah ok....what hotel you guys in? :)

None yet...the one we stayed at for the the NADJ show did a particularly fine full English though and opened the bar for us at 2am..:D

[Charlie Brown]

Ahh did it now ;)

Well let me know...then anyone let me know if they object to a 16 year old following you around.

I expect a knock on the door Darren with orange juice ;)

[sted]

am defo up for this. anyone any ideas were people are staying?

[DeckstarDeluxe]

I'll properly use the site Danno suggested yesterday which was great for me getting a place in brighton called laterooms.com

Just out of interest is there going to be a group of us going out on board street after or is it just a knees up in the hotel bar?

Who invited you? :boxer2:

We normally choose what to do on the day - some want to eat, others drink etc

James H is normally the organiser. :sj: (He's gonna love me for saying that!)

[Cheesey 1975]

I thought Adam had took the reigns on this one for this year !!!! :) :)

[DJWilson]

Just got my ticket, and staying in St Johns in Solihull:D

[Adam_F]

James H is normally the organiser. :sj: (He's gonna love me for saying that!)



I thought Adam had took the reigns on this one for this year !!!! :) :)

:eek:

I'm more than happy to vote that James does it :D

We'll both be fairly busy at the show for 3 days, so we'll want to party in style on the Sunday night :banana:

[Cheesey 1975]

Nope.... im sure that it should be a joint venture then :)

[Tom]

Anybody got any rooms booked up yet???

The reason I ask is that If people want to party after the show then I will have 3/4 spaces in car for anyone who wants a lift but would prefer to stay at a hotel that others are staying in, just to keeps things simple and saves driving about picking people up. :)

[DJWilson]

How long do tickets take to arrive as in the email from NEC it says delayed del. ??

[sted]

hi tom a lift would be great if possible ??

also anyone sorted out a hotel yet ?

[Charlie Brown]

......Darren? :sj:

[Tom]

If you can get to my place then I don't mind giving you a lift up there. If most of the people are going on Sunday then I will be going back Monday morning.

[DeckstarDeluxe]

before anyone books lets not forget that if your booking several rooms at a time you may get a more favourable rate ;)

[sted]

ok so lets start a list of who is going and wants a room in a hotel etc so we can look at booking a venue and lifts etc

[rob1963]

I believe they aren't sent out until a week or two before the event.

[ppentertainments]

I am going, but due to taking my 9 yr old son (member of the NADJ, and hopefully a future contributor to this forum and industry :p ) I will not be taking part in the after event social activities I am afraid.

May join in with early evening activities though :D

[DJWilson]

I believe they aren't sent out until a week or two before the event.


Ok thanks :)

[Charlie Brown]

Ok, I'm in :)

.....I have had a look at the hotels but don't ask me to choose...you would all end up in the bloody Ritz :sj:

I've bought a ticket but wondered if anyone from Scotland is going so we can share a lift, quite an expensive outing on my own.

I'll be there on the Sunday.


What times are you going to be there??? Would be nice to meet up again to say hey. :)



Also I see on the website they do standard tickets. Are there any thing better than these like at DJSN where you got a little area to yourselves. lol.

The Hotel has parking and it's just over the road from the NEC which will save the £8 or whatever it is for parking there.

Hi Tom,

I'll probably be there from around 10.30am until about 2.00pm.

I can't leave too late, as I have to get back for my quiz that evening.

Will be good to meet up again, as I haven't seen you since I roadied for you, and that was a fair few months back.

Cool. Well I aim to get there between 12 and 1pm after checking in at the hotel so plenty of time for a chat.

I still got your number so will probably give you a call on the day to find out where you are. :)

Having said that, I am missing a few peoples numbers since changing phones.

[rob1963]

It will be enough time for me.

I'm more interested in meeting some people from the forum than seeing all the gear, anyway.

I have checked, and the arena doesn't open until 11:00 am.

I was kinda hoping to get in and out.


But it just means now that, should I get lost on my 10 metre walk across the road from where the train stops, I should have some time to find the place.

[DJMaxG]

Not bad at all, will probably book this one myself on Sunday.

Which day(s) are you going then?

Is that Sunday, or you're planning to book it on sunday.

As such, I'm not "going", as I'm working it. I'll be there all day Friday setting up some stands, and then on a stand on both the Saturday and Sunday.

I meant I won't be booking the hotel until tomorrow, as I'm too busy 'till then to sort it.

Thanks for the list, deckstar, but in my case it's largely irrelevant, as 20% of the reason I'm going is to see the exhibitors and 80% is to meet some of the people I've been chatting to on this forum for the last couple of years.

See, what you need, like me, is an NEC parking permit that allows me to park on any NEC Car parks for free, including staff parking areas, lol. No hotel for us, it'll be a 30 minute drive there, park up, get in, spend money grudgingly, then a 30 minute ride back...

There's no way you'd have missed it when ordering your tickets, as you had to say which CD you wanted, so I guess the offer must have expired.
