  • I'll be there.
    Got no records. I do not spin. Just coming by to listen to some good music and maybe learn something along the way.

    But what's going on Saturdaynight?

    No need to bring records unless you want to play some songs or trade. We're only 4 people so far. Where is everyone? Please leave some feedback. Is the date OK? Too late?

    just want to let you know that the meeting has been canceled. i know it's too early and stuff, but since i get no responses and since i'd rather spend my time and money on records (i was planning on doing somthing big), i'll let it slide. i hope you understand. you can still do this without me. i'm just not feeling the whole thing. i got exams this summer and for some reason, this meeting just began to crumble.

    it would be cool to meet some soulstrut people this summer though. i'm going on a little trip, so if there's anyone interested in travelling through germany to look for records, feel free to pm me.

    my bestest wishes

    Damn Grope, that's a shame but I understand you. Where did all the people who expressed interest a while ago disappear to???

    good question... I have no idea.

    You said that you were coming to Germany this summer, right? Let me know later on. I want to go record shopping this summer BIG TIME. We might be able to meet somewhere.

    Ey, R U 4 REAL??

    I mean, I understand that it is all a bit sloppy with the posting reactions & such, but to blow it?? naaah, come on, I don't know...

    How about to just chill till summer, than we look if we feel to come up again with the topic to the ppl here.
    I think it might be a bit to early yet to really get people confirmed to the whole thing real tight.
    And we could organize the whole thing in 3 weeks in advance as good as in 300 days in advance...

    I would recommend: chill, do your exams, do some serious diggin, relax and than we speak again, hommie

    If it's not gonna happen, you will still be credited all times for coming up with the idea!



    Grope keep ur head up, doode!

    Yes, fo' reel.

    I wouldn't be happy doing this. Noone replying. No suggestions. No PMs.
    I had to PM people about this!!! Still NO replies.

    A meeting should be about records. Let's be honest, there are hardly any Europeans posting about records on Soulstut. Plus, only 1 Vinylvulturer was interested.



    Seriuosly, I'm not interested in this anymore. What's the point of having a party with strangers? I know it's early, but I was trying to set this up asap, because people from abroad would need to buy airplane or train tickets.

    Like I said, I'd rather save my money and buy some records.

    a real shame to see you cancel this, i was looking forward to it and im sure it would have been a success!

  • BaptBapt 2,503 Posts

    Nah! Shit is not dead yet.
    Grope, remember when the "BREAK IN THE ROAD" project has started, Nat was talkin' alone...
    Don't stress, like Scope (hi dude) said do your exams... whatever you got to do... we will see what's happenin ' later.

    B.

  • GropeGrope 2,970 Posts
    we are only 5 people. no need to set up a meeting for us plus lurkers.

    i know i know,

    we can still meet, but not at a club nite with strangers or a bbq with people we don't know. i might sound harsh... but please remember, i was the one who came up with the idea. i wanted to invite people over and get to know you. i'm just not feeling this anymore.

  • BaptBapt 2,503 Posts

    Don't stress

  • GropeGrope 2,970 Posts

    Don't stress

    suggestions please...

    wanna meet in paris? i'd love to go to paris again.


    = good times!

  • BaptBapt 2,503 Posts

    Yeah! That would be really cool!

    The Strutters are always the welcome to Paris.

    ...a nice idea,
    I would not see it as a real substitution because:
    - No club night
    - No BBQ & chillout
    - No soulstrutter only record swap meeting

    but also a very good idea.

    Im gonna be there anyways

  • cHillercHiller 293 Posts
    Damn! Grope, you know i'm in (ayo). Just didn't check the board the last week. (Lots of work plus new girlfriend = no time)
    And if you need help with the planing, just let me know.
    I'm really looking forward to this, so it would be really sad, if it didn't happen.

    gropestrut (ok, i'll try to come up with some serious ideas... )

    haha... nice one. keep on, keep on...

    i'll have to sort out some things first. let's put it like this: we NEED to be 10 - 15 people for sure. about 8 soulstrutters replied so far. I NEED SOME FEEDBACK ON:

    1) the place
    2) the date (august is late, right?)
    3) the schedule


    No need to apply early... but it would be nice to leave some feedback.

    Do these 10-15 people need to be from soulstrut? Or do they just need to be into diggin' etc...?
