WORLD FAP! (Could we ever manage it?)

Is it in the realms of the possible? Say August 2006? But where? and where would we all stay? And would we even want to?

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:03 (twenty years ago)

Iceland!

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:16 (twenty years ago)

I'm in, if I just have the cash!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Ealing is the only place I can think of. There's a hotel overlooking the Common, you could all stay there.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:18 (twenty years ago)

It would have to be a neutral location. Like Luxembourg or Antarctica.

Actually I've always thought we should try and arrange a number of simultaneous FAPs, all over the world, and set up speaker phones and video cams and so on. TIS BUT A PIPE DREAM, A MAD PIPE DREAM.

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:21 (twenty years ago)

B-b-but I want to hug you all! Video's not good enough!

Me and Ned were JUST talking about this on aim the other day! Would be cool for the 5th anniversary. London seems logical.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:24 (twenty years ago)

London is very logical, since that's where it all began, man (if anywhere). That said, an Iceland FAP is such a nice idea. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:27 (twenty years ago)

I agree. Perhaps a spot on the Great Wall of China should be designated.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:27 (twenty years ago)

If Ryanair keeps having those cheap flights, I think I'd be able to come to London. I might do that before 2006 anyway.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Simulatenous global locations is the best idea, we could share Ned sending him from NZ to New York to London, he'd be like Phil Collins or something.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:29 (twenty years ago)

No, the point is that it has to be all of us, in real life.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:30 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, 2006 sounds a bit distant... Have you folks, like, booked the whole of 2005 already?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago)

We should do an Amazing Race FAP, where we travel in teams all around the world to various locations.

― I'm just being silly now (Ex Leon), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:32 (twenty years ago)

I like the cruise idea. It would be awesome if we were all on a boat and then disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:33 (twenty years ago)

Boat would be cool, yeah. (Bermuda Triangle not so much.)

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:34 (twenty years ago)

tracer and i talked about this long ago. we wanted to organize a huge camping trip somewhere in the boondocks.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago)

pssst. Don't tell anybody, but my rich great-grandfather buried 20 million dollars in Tahiti...under a big W...now everybody just calming back away from the computers...put on your coat and...IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD FAP 2004!!!

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:35 (twenty years ago)

Oh I picked August 2006 fairly randomly. I was just thinking with organisation and people trying to get money together and all that.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago)

This actually came up in conversation at the Biggest FAP Ever back in February. The only way I can actually think of coordinating this is by getting as many people to London or NYC as possible in one weekend. A real neutral location would be amazing fun but kind of difficult.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Let's all meet up in the year 2000.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:39 (twenty years ago)

Surely if we start planning now...

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:39 (twenty years ago)

I think this is where I got it from.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:40 (twenty years ago)

If we start planning now than August 2005 is possible.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:40 (twenty years ago)

Awesome ...if you like BLOOD

organize a huge ...CANNIBAL COOKOUT

― TOMBOT, Monday, 22 November 2004 18:42 (twenty years ago)

Ok, let's pick a date and stick to it. Seriously!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:42 (twenty years ago)

Well, I'll be in the UK and Europe in general in July 2005 -- funny thing is that H., over in Addis Adaba, happened to mention being over on the East Coast this summer as well, and Luna, Casuistry and I were all trying to plot to be there for an H FAP. Since I think there's no more 'remote' regular on ILX than H, with the exception of Mitch -- and he's been at an NYC FAP! -- why don't we plan around a NY/East Coast celebratory FAP around that?

I'm really not kidding!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:42 (twenty years ago)

I expect Tom to arrive on top of a tank or not at all.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago)

(One could aim for it being late July, perhaps, but more handy would actually be August itself on a weekend.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:43 (twenty years ago)

You don't need me in the flesh! I'm not the same. I shall send a clone.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:44 (twenty years ago)

And chewing a cigar.

Up Pompei FAP!

In all seriousness, let's do this with all our might. Big Freaky Trigger party with ILX DJs, wooooooo!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:46 (twenty years ago)

Tanks and volcanoes would rock.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Vulcanism on the East Coast, no...but! Volcanoes in Iceland, sure! I think we have a plan. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago)

Switzerland

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago)

And lasers. I'm not coming unless we have lasers. And three big lorries with 'I' 'Love' and 'Everything' written down the side.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago)

oh, there will surely be lasers.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:50 (twenty years ago)

And the rockettes doing a routine to the music of "One More Time".

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:50 (twenty years ago)

Erm, isn't beer hideously expensive in Iceland?

(also heightened chance of bumping into Damon Albarn)

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:50 (twenty years ago)

True, true. These are grave concerns.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago)

We HAVE bumped into Damon Albarn at a FAP, remember? And the three other members of Blur.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 22 November 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago)

EWWWW YOU'RE RIGHT FORGET I SAID ANYTHING.

No, because we're not going to have google ads or guess papers. This is why we can't have nice things!

It's for the best. Maybe we all have atrocious international body odours we better never find out about?

Not Dunedin. I'm so sick of it here.

eleven months pass...

I think the best way to settle a place for this is to determine which ILXor has the largest/house apartment, and we could all stay at his/her place. Like a pyjama party!

Unfortunately it isn't me: at the moment I could accomodate only 1-2 people. But if you all want to stay in hotels in Helsinki, I could certainly host a world fap.

Anyway, regardless of where we'd stay, it would be so cool if we could actually arrange this thing. How about next winter? Or summer 2011?

^ awesome plan

WDYLL for that month just one picture

― scrappy dyaoo (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:23 (fifteen years ago)

largest house/flat would probably mean they have a good income, smallest house/flat could possibly mean low income?
this would mean lower income ilxors having to fork out money for travel?

only way to settle it fairly would be to find out where everyone lives and find the middle of that!

― not_goodwin, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:46 (fifteen years ago)

Actually, I think the best way would be to settle for a spot to where it's relatively cheap to fly from all the major ILX locations. London, maybe? I have nothing against that.

i think some Australian and New Zealand ILXors would challenge you on that toumas?

― not_goodwin, Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:49 (fifteen years ago)

sounds very environmentally unfriendly. if only there was another way we could all interact with each other that didn't involve travel

― scrappy dyaoo (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:50 (fifteen years ago)

I know, but sometimes words on a screen simply can't substitute for real voices and bodies.

i have seen you post images, don't start trolling me on this, man

― scrappy dyaoo (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:52 (fifteen years ago)

i've never even gone as far as a london FAP, and prob wouldn't even participate in an irish one FWIW

― scrappy dyaoo (darraghmac), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 13:53 (fifteen years ago)
