We will need a lot of support from you if a convention is to happen as last time a questionnaire was circulated asking how many of you would be prepared to travel for a get-together the response was very disappointing.

We'll keep you posted!

Diane

You have all my support on this

Would love to see a MLUKFC convention. One to tie in with Bat III would be even better!

Don't forget the fans in Ireland, who would do anything to see Meat Loaf Live. Australia is too far away for most of them to travel. Lisa

Heli · 28 Sep 2005, 22:09

Well I'm totally behind a convention! I've wanted to go to one for ages!

You need any help, just let us know! :)!!

SuperLoafMan · 28 Sep 2005, 22:10

I will be there too...absolutely!!

Cathie · 28 Sep 2005, 22:22

hell yeah!

L96 · 28 Sep 2005, 22:35

Ok, let's all stop disagreeing about where to have the convention...
Is it possible maybe (we have one year as of today) for someone to organise an Irish Meatvention, a Scottish Meatvention, and one in Holland also??
If you can all form committees to do so, drop us an email at the official addy, and welcome to the Meatloafaoke Cup contest!

Leah · 28 Sep 2005, 22:39

Hey Guys! Count me in!!

L96 · 28 Sep 2005, 23:16

Just to clear this one up quick, Meat is NOT coming to our MV. We're doing our best, but it's not gonna happen!
Sorry for any confusion there!

good to see were all up for some good old competition i agree all countries should have own event but all link up most countries have tribute bands to call upon & venues to hold them in all we need is a bit of i.t & the fans to make it work.lets get it on meatfest 2006 (england)

Rosiec211 · 08 Oct 2005, 12:49

How about trying to involve Steve Steinman for the British one-he is the best tribute act I've ever seen!!

Rosie

Heli · 08 Oct 2005, 13:31

Most conventions have two tribute acts so i recommend Pure Meat Loaf - Andy P. aswell!

Is anyone gonna book a venue soon?? I say it should be middle of everywhere.....or London!

chrissylf22 · 22 Oct 2005, 16:53

its agood idea but its to far away for me to go

ChloeLee88 · 22 Oct 2005, 18:37

I think the middle is a good idea also! If you need any help at all i'm up for it, i think this is a really good idea, and we need to getthe ball rolling!!!

Working frantically on that!
For those of you who have not had the time to nip over to our site recently, or jumped on the mailing list, here's a quick update...
Germany are out, they have their gathering on the first weekend in September and can't move that to the last weekend.
Holland are in, and will be having a one day Meatvention festival (at this stage), held on the Saturday to join in the Guinness World Record.
The UK will be having one, just bickering over who gets to organise it for now.
The USA are being slow to answer emails, looks promising but wouldn't put money on it just yet.
And the Japanese, Russian, Swedes and Portuguese refuse to respond to any invitations.
For those of you in the UK who are worried about travel, a) some of the Aussies will be driving 42 hours or more to get to ours, so really.... lol, and b) you have a years notice, start saving 50p a week, and finding friends in the area you can stay with.
Watch this space.

Leah · 23 Oct 2005, 12:09

Thanks for the update Lotus

SW31 · 26 Oct 2005, 02:09

good to see some plans are afoot for england lets get it orgaised

ChloeLee88 · 26 Oct 2005, 10:38

Do we have a comittee in England now??
Chloe

Pudding · 28 Oct 2005, 11:22

I'm going to have a Meatvention BBQ in my back garden this Sunday to coincide with Halloween on Monday and Jim Steinman's birthday on the 1st. Everyone's welcome, just bring a sausage and a 6 pack of beer.

L96 · 28 Oct 2005, 17:14

Great Pudding, how did you know we needed an organiser for the NZ MV?
We accept your offer with the spirit it is offered!
Please email us for further arrangement details at meatvention06@hotmail.com

Thanks again!

L96 · 08 Nov 2005, 04:21

Well, here's some hot gossip!
We are officially having a Guinness World Record attempt!
Now, there has been no record set in this category before, the closest thing is a world record for most people in a singalong in one venue (88,600 for anyone who wants to know!).

So this will be an entirely new record, the precise details for which and the precise things we need to do to authenticate it are in negotiations with Guinness as we speak!
Start practicing your BOOH's, people!

Caelan · 08 Nov 2005, 11:44

thats good news..

rockfenris2005 · 08 Nov 2005, 12:00

Anyone who's seen the site probably saw my name on the list of acts. I'm getting permission to do a few encores of never-before-heard Jim Steinman songs. The rest of the set will be very interesting. I can't wait

and neither can heaven
