Wouldn't It Be Awesome.... Options

[Opetholic]

if one day many (if not all) of us GMCers got together somewhere in Europe (or anywhere else for those of us who are in other continents), meet each other in person, have a good chat about music? I think it would kick axe

[Bossie]

Deal..we should be able to do that...

[jstcrsn]

yep! and Kris buys the first round

[thefireball]

Sounds like a plan!

[MonkeyDAthos]

yep! and Kris buys the first round

i wonder how has Kris's hair been doing

[El Fortinero]

Yes it would be great, we can hire a private jet and meet all in Kris´s house
I promise that if i win enough money to buy a private jet, I will pick up every gmc´er fom his house and take it to the meeting


Now seriously i think that soon we will be able to be connected alltogether in some kind of virtual room, in about 5 years.

Meanwhile, we can organice the biggest videochat in the site! all gmc active members and instructors in a video chat, what do you think?
Could be a sunday at 6 pm London time (2pm in America) so we can all be there

I love the original idea of this thread, we have talked about this in the past and I think that it would be so awesome to make it real.

But also, Fortinero's idea sounds much more possible in the short term and I think that we should go for it!! How can we organize this?

Great idea mates. It'd be axesome.
The time suits me too, but can it be an hour early, if possible But this is a great idea Fortinero. I am looking forward to it.

Now, who's taking the responsibility of organizing this ?

[Ben Higgins]

Both of those things would be awesome.

Not sure how you could get several instructors broadcasting at the same time though, or is that not what you meant ?

[Sensible Jones]

Great idea! We did it from another music Forum where I used to be active and we decided to meet at the German Jemfest as one or two of the Instructors were playing Clinics there, a few of us also met up in London to see one of the members playing with Graham Bonnet (YES, that Graham Bonnet!!!)

[Gitarrero]

Sounds awesome, I'm all for it!

Would have been nice to see some of you at Rock im Park last weekend, that would have been a nice chance

Yes, it would be an obvious choice to choose a festival. There is one in Copenhagen friday + saturday next week

[Yash]

Whoa Whoa Whoa, where's the idea of the biggest chat in GMC history ?

Some of us (like me) can't get to a music festival.

[El Fortinero]

it´s easy to organise:

DATE:
London Time:
Instructor/s
Topic

or we can have
*different instructors in the 3 rooms with different topics or
*Some kind of Marathon, like from 6to7: Ben- from 7to 8 Gabriel and so on or (and i rather this):

a unique instructor in the broadcast and all the others instructors and students on line (all the ones that want to participate)


I think that, as this is the first one of this kind, Kris should be the instructor, if he agrees, he can set the date and the time and we can vote for the topic

just ideas...it will be some kind of mess, let´s do it and see what happens

Great idea. But we should pick a time that suits almost everybody.

And a marathon is gonna be absolutely awesome

Wow this can really turn out great let's gather some more ideas and see how we could really put this into practice.

I agree on the fact that we should choose a suitable hour for almost everyone and I think the day should be in the weekend so nobody has school or work to go to

what do you guys think?

[Ben Higgins]

I think the idea with instructors having a time slot and then following on from each other is the best one. It'll be more fun, fresh and also there's no pressure on 1 guy to entertain everybody for hours.

Maybe 30 min slots would be more effective if we were to get every instructor doing it..

It could be like 3 hrs then..

30 mins seems less to have a good time and instructor (specially if its you Ben ) 1 hour slots is better (I'd even like 2 hour slots coz I don't have much to do now)

And, I'd also like the other instructors to attend someone else's chat session. Like Cosmin, Ben, Alex and Todd attending Gab's session, and so on.

It'd be awesome. I think you guys would be willing to give a whole day here. Wouldn't you ?

But the main thing. Time must be highly suitable. Maybe a non-Video chat session for that too

Yes, but we have to remember not everybody has the time to sit in on a chat all day.. so I think we should aim for quality not just quantity.. but maybe an hour or even 45mins would be cool. There's a few instructors, including Todd and Kris, so the time would add up to be quite a lot
