.....Just pulling your chain......:D :D :D :D

[StarZSoundS]

I vow never to do this again!!

Are you sure the kids at kids parties wouldn't like one??

[djsteve10]

Rather you than me.

You would get the kids touching and messing around with it and you dont want the kids to be messing around with the fan unit on the bottom.

Could be a tad dangerous.




Also would your public liabilty cover you if anything unfrotunate happened to your Air Dancer and he de-flated LOL!

:D:D:D:D

How do you mean?

:daft: BONKERS! :daft:

[StarZSoundS]

The only comment looking at the practicalities of it without dismissing it completely.

Kids (approx 1/3 of my business) luuuurvvvee BONKERS anyway!!

[Jiggles]

If its for kids why not. keep them out the reach and i suppose it would be fine.

They are huge though Callum,

Alot of places with stages where you could put it the air dancer would hit the ceiling easily.

You really need a venue with a high ceiling or an outside venue such as a fate or a show where you can use these effects.

[Penfold42]

You have to weigh in how much parties you will get in against your out lay....just a thought. :)

5 metres...about 16 foot....

I work in WMC'S that are well tall enough to take that.My initial thought tho was for sat outside the venue.Its making a statement....creating a buzz.Will look at health and safety issues later....there are always ways round them....I have a female partner who helps me....

Anyway everyone else thinks i'm BONKERS!!

I'm sorry. I was under the impression you wanted honest opinions, not sugar-coated responses that would reinforce your decision to buy the item. :zip:

Have you thought about the risk of it being stolen and also vandalisation risks.
We all know that WMC aren't the best venues in the world.

How would you secure it, How would you get power to it from the venue i.e using safety mats for the cables ect.

Just to clarify....you probably are bonkers as you do kids parties but I was actually refering to 'air dancers', not you....but hey, if the cap fits.... :D :D

Steve my partner would not allow any compromises on this believe me!!I'm not even allowed to break wind near the kids!!

I'm not very good at links....would it upset anyone if I showed you what I'm on about.....its on a bouncy castle website!!

[Dynamic Entertainment]

Ive had them in a club that i used to do. And they were a pain in the arse. after 6 months of use they started fecking up and part deflating midevent, even though the fan unit was working flat out.

And there was I thinking it was an ORIGINAL stupid idea!!

Well it's not origonal as there is plenty of hand car wash centres around here that use them and also alot of second hand car sale centres.

...and what does that have to do with disco's? :confused:

Unquantifiable....but thanks for your comment....


I pride myself on being non-comformist and doing stuff out of the ordinary....


It would be easier to sit here and moan about the recession and lack of bookings (believe me ....i'm not complaining)....I'm trying to think of ways to kick the business on even further...

The concensus is its a cheap and nasty idea.....I'll take everyones advice.

[djsteve10]

...and what does that have to do with disco's? :confused:

I was saying it was not original and that there are other businesses using the idea.

Hey not a problem. :)
I would just do the figures or get the account to look at it. ;) :)

I know that but the OP was on about kids discos not second hand cars sales.
Total different IMO

Well I was just pointing out the class of industry that these effects are used in.

[StarZSoundS]

Thanks for your support my friend...... maybe Steve sets up his gear in the local Volvo showroom???

[Penfold42]

Fair point.....but I was trying to point out how many 6yr olds go buy a second hand car.

And how would spending £200 on that help with more bookings? :confused:

[djsteve10]

No I just work at some upper class venues where using an Air Dancer would make my show look cheap.

To be fair though Steve, the OP is talking about kids parties.

[djsteve10]

Yeah I know but at 1st he was on about average gigs too.

[StarZSoundS]

Surprised you ask that.. The design allows you to put your business name and phone number on it.

Maybe you'd prefer 1/16 th of a page in your local adveritser....for one week??

Well ....maybe because of its stupidity OR originality it has encouraged 40 posts in an hour.

The original post was a ponder.....I didn't mean it to turn into an international incident.

Lets start talking about everyones lovely lights again??

Sorry, but I'm not absolutley sure what your problem is here?

This is a forum to discuss things. If you don't want people to discuss things then don't start the threads.

If you think that buying this is going to get you lots of extra bookings and it suits your business model, then fair enough. Go for it.

It wouldn't suit my business as I don't go for tacky things like that and in answer I also wouldn't take out a local advert either...

You've got me wrong.....I'm delighted with how much healthy debate my little ponder has caused....shows the strength of the forum.:D

If thats what happens over a little ol' Air Dancer I can't wait to hear what you all think about some real issues that I have.....:Hi there:

Perhaps it's the way you post then and I'm not the only one who has noticed. :)

After a kid poked it :eek:

I thought about getting a smaller cheaper one but then thought it would be something I would use once and then wouldnt bother with the extra work of setting it up.

[DJ INDIE]

ok, its not something I would buy and use, as as a DJ I am not the whacky/personality dj type - BUT I can see kids loving them, and I can see you becoming known as 'the dj with the inflatable dancers' etc locally, so you could get a reputation and repeat gigs etc off the back of it - if you can advertise on them too, then great - cant do any harm. its a different style of set up to others on here - but nothing wrong with that.

anywho, parties are meant to be fun! - if thats your thing then give it a go!

Now that is a very nice reply......Thank you very much!!
