How Far Is Toooooo Far?

[Senior]

We'll be holding Chills on August 9th and have been hard at work sourcing possible venues. There are a couple that are pretty far and what I want to know is how far is to far to drive for a REALLY good venue? As we all know there are a lot of close(r) venues in the area but these have all been a bit over used and have a slightly higher rick of being shut down. Also as these are over used its just nice to party in a new spot.

SO! What do you guys think?

[Senior]

I say who really cares, within reason anyway and decent access roads are key as well.

[MistressSpankME]

^ agreed.

as long as its not a 5 hour drive off-road or something, if it is a REALLY good venue I'd be more than willing to drive (or ride heh) for over an hour if needed.

[Filo]

as long as driving down certain roads isn't the excuse for not going. the road to get to the last one is just too much.

[BongMan]

I would drive as far as it will take as long as it goes off fuck I would drive cross province if I really had to :)

[krisamata]

as long as i only have to fill up my tank once and that means for there and back hahaha

[Hot Karl]

as long as it isn't some cracked out logging road for 40kms or something.

honestly for me, doesn't matter if the line-up's worth it. i'd drive more than 2 hours. big whoop.

[normal josh]

i wanna come... (mabye spin) but its gotta be transit accessable for all of us who ride the 52 windo cadillac

It all depends on the productionfor me. If its a small vibey party with small production I would say an hour tops. If its a huge production and big name headliners, I would say 3 - 4 hours away.

ya see, i live in langley, so no matter where the party is, i have to drive. it's no big deal

[bebu*funfun]

to ME... last year chills was just right for "too far"...further than that i woulda killed myself. that drive put me to sleep..and i wasn't even driving. at least have a drive that is full of scenery and beautiful sights! =).....80+ mins from downtown lets say is too far. cuz adding to the trip home... a cab better be getting my ass to my doorstep.

[Filo]

i can almost guarantee that it's not gonna be transit accesible. chill is all about goin to the booooonies.

[Kelster]

over an hour is too far

i wouldn't drive that far for a party, unless there's something really special bout it

...or if i'm cracked out and far from sleepy

[kozmo_jr]

I get whored around, So I dont care how far it is as long as someone is willin to drive

[Special_J]

^^^ Hahaha selling your love for a ride, you rock Jr! Remember how you got your breathe ticket? :kam:

there is no 'too far' to go to a party that's gonna go off.

i think the term 'shambala' sums everything up.

[DJDeeb]

As long as the access road is not that bad

Well it's not going to be NEARLY that far but yeah Shambahla is definately worth the drive. Also lets not forget we live in one of the most beatiful places in the world so a bit of a drive can be really nice.

I'll guarentee you all that there's a 0% chance that transit will reach this party. We're talking boonies for this one!

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I'm always down for a long drive to a party... I mean shit half the fun is getting there!! A couple hours is nothing as far as I'm concerned even for a small production company's party if they put in some effort and I wanna go. The furthur out you're able to do it the loud system you can bring and the more people can go off (hence why we threw Shattered in Squamish and not Foreshore Park or some bullshit like that). When you invest money into something you wanna make it the best you can and get all the bang for your buck so why throw a multi-stage party somewhere you know has a 50/50 chance of being busted?

Shit what happened to driving around for a couple hours... constantly changing info lines... getting lost... only to get to the party a couple hours before it got busted?

Last weekend, i spent 22 hours in transit to & from Soundwave

we were at the party for around 20 hours, at least 5 of which were spent sleeping

it was totally worth it :smoke1:

[omnirecords]

you're welcome cerah! (for coming out to shattered)

i love driving so it totally adds to the excitement of partying... i think the anticipation is enough! PARTY!!! :c-tard:

[cinist]

throw the party and the ravers will come

[MC Hammered]

People that complain about an hour drive are making me laugh.

It is under two hours to go to Seattle for USC.

IMO, it all depends on the lineup.

Who cares if no one shows up I'll just have a lot more food and booze than I can possibly consume making me have a less stressfull even better weekend at a really nice camp spot with a few sound systems.

Fuck ego just throw the party.
