Meatvention 2006

L96 · 27 Sep 2005, 01:29

For all the Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman fans out there... Next year there is going to be a convention held for Meat Loaf fans, both die hard Loafers and newer fans. It is timed to coincide with Meat's birthday and the release of Bat Out Of Hell III, the reunion of Loaf and Steinman, which brought us Bat I and Bat II. It will be in Adelaide, Australia (at this stage, if we get more people from another state, it can and may be transferred to another city). Are there any Meat or Jim fans out there that would like to attend? It will be a charity fundraiser at this stage; the organising committee is still waiting on Meat Loaf to tell us which charity to donate the proceeds to. The cost for tickets will be very low (and the more people who attend, the lower it will be) and is only being charged to recoup expenses. Our website is at http://www.meatloafaust06.com Please, go and look, even those of you who have never heard of Meat Loaf, and tell us what you think on our forum. We will be showing movies, concerts, having live performances, trivia, fair day, a birthday party and Meatloafaoke. It's going to be awesome (and that's a term I use rarely). Thanks for reading; we (the committee) would love to see you all there. And we value your feedback! Thank you"

really like your meatvention..but it's so far away

Heli · 27 Sep 2005, 02:29

I know...it has all the things I want in a convention aswell!

Rosiec211 · 27 Sep 2005, 12:45

I would so be going if it was in the UK! But being a poor student, I v much doubt a trip to Oz is possible til at least 2020!

LucyK! · 27 Sep 2005, 21:06

Perhaps we could arrange one for the same time in the UK, so at least we'll be "together" in spirit, if not in person?

the_bengal · 27 Sep 2005, 21:12

Yeah, one in the UK would be cool

Or Scotland even!

Cathie · 27 Sep 2005, 21:15

Wish it wasn't so far away, there's no way I can get there. One in the UK would be fantastic.

L96 · 27 Sep 2005, 21:46

Yes, it is a long way for you European folks!
However, for anyone planning a holiday, or to travel the world at any time soon, you have plenty of warning for where to be and when!
I really like the idea of a simultaneous one in the UK. There are three of us organising the Aussie one (as you would notice on the site! :) ), so if a couple of you want to form a committee, our committee can help out with if you want.
Thanks for reading!
(Don't tell anyone, but we have some plans, the UK may not be out of the question sometime after the first one, which is a trial run, really).

LucyK! · 27 Sep 2005, 21:53

I'd be more than happy to help to organise anything in the UK, more than happy

Heli · 27 Sep 2005, 21:58

Yeah, I'd love to help organise a UK one aswell.

Lotus how are you guys organising yours...perhaps you could help us out a little.

Lucy, Heli, Cathy and other MLUKFC members...
Shambles Inc. (MV Australia committee) would officially like to invite you to form a committeein order to hold the first ever world wide Meatvention, in 2006.
We, the Australians, would also like to challenge you (via audio/visual link) to contest the Inaugural Transnational Meatloafaoke Cup, to be held during MV 2006.
Once you have formed a committee, please email the official email addy meatvention06@hotmail.com and we can begin!
We look forward to working with you! (The website will be updated to reflect this change)
How does everyone feel about aiming for a Guinness World record: most people worldwide singing BOOH simultaneously?

ChloeLee88 · 28 Sep 2005, 10:45

This is all really cool.......i'm more than willing to help over here in the uk, i think we need to start forming a uk committee as soon as and get the ball rolling!!!

Heli · 28 Sep 2005, 17:59

I'd love to accept the challange but the only thing playing on my mind is how!

We have no money as far as I'm aware!

come over to holland ...its central for the germans too

Deb · 28 Sep 2005, 18:29

I also think it's a great idea, but I personally think the fanclub would be better off organising it. Most of it anyway. With all our input.

I know they've been trying to put something like this together for a very long time and have thrown it out to us all on many occasions.

They've done a lot for us over the yrs and I for one would like to see their efforts in the past come to something on this

Excellent idea! After all we a meet under this umbrella on the net so it makes sense that we meet in person this way!

Heli · 28 Sep 2005, 18:43

Maybe we should just turn up at a pub somewhere and see what happens!

LucyK! · 28 Sep 2005, 18:50

Yeah i'm liking that idea! LOL!!!! Us lot, a bar and some serious singing!

Heli · 28 Sep 2005, 18:53

LOL! I'd feel sorry for anyone who got in the way!

Oh god I'm having serious de javu of Cleveland a few weeks ago lol.

As wonderful as it would be to see most of you again, I don't think many are gonna travel length and breadth of the country just to meet up with everyone in a pub

without those that may come from other countries.

I know Diane and Mike had loads of ideas on this before, maybe now people are taking an interest they can put them into action.

Any ideas Diane?

Deb

Heli · 28 Sep 2005, 19:50

Maybe we should have a convention in germany! Then we could all go see Tanz as well! ^_^!!

I'm in serious conflab with the management team on the idea of something special to tie in with the release, (and hopefully tour!), of Bat III. R. is away at the moment and we do need to speak to him too.

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
