Is there an actual reason for this? Other than providing those who normally can't be bothered moving from their computer screens to go out and support whatever even happens to be on with something other than Warcraft to occupy them for a night?

-warcraft and elizium!
but seriously , Yes I know it wont be the same as everyone getting together in a venue but at least its something and you should appreciate that. Eliziumites dont make money from putting a night on ( as far as im aware).
how about if people are wanting a venue of everyone chipping in and hiring a venue and then streaming the 'live' music to it- think of it as a remote dj party :)
a lot of staff xmas nights ask you to contribute so why dont you do the same for this. an Elizium hexmas night, if we want to keep Elizium going everyone has to put an effort in- hiring a venue costs money .
doing what is planned for Hexmas means a night will be on just in a different way (less the cost of hiring a venue)- how you want to spend it is up to yourselves- why not get as many people round as you can and have a mini-lizium.
rather than slagging off the organisers at least show some support.

Well, to be fair - it is more to do with their being no realistic choices of venues on the dates that we could manage. And by jove, we did work our little socks off to get a place too. Rather than leave you all unwanted and unloved, like that home-knitted jumper from your granny last Christmas, we figured an online jaunt would at least allow us to all be part of your seasonal celebrations.
Elizium will return, face to face, next year. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Hexmas :)

It's a nice idea but I can't help feeling that as it's so close to xmas there will be a lot of other things on which involve people going out...it's good for those who don't have anything on though.
However, I will be in Leeds enjoying the delights of the Wendy House and celebrating the end of the university semester.

starting at 7pm so we can be the soundtrack to getting ready! I'm sure
we'll be after suggestions of where to go after we've finished online
to meet up with folk for real, face-to-face beers!

When exactly have I not supported an Elizium event in the whole time you've known me? I've been to pretty much everything that has been put on since I moved here - the only exceptions really only being when I've been out of the country. I've been to plenty of things put on by the Elizium folk that I don't recall seeing you, and a large number of others who post on this forum, at. I'm not bitching at Alun/Jaymz/Fizzgig/whoever else is involved in organising this Hexmas, regardless of how my flu-addled post may have sounded - those guys do an ace job. I was just getting at all those folk who constantly whine about having nothing to do, then don't bother turning up when there is something on. I feel that's it's a sad day for Elizium when the only way to get a lot of folk involved in something is to put it online so people don't have to make the effort to get off their arses and do something.

That's what happens when you DJ music that has a fan base of about, five.
It's not about teh monehs! It's about being the coolest dood in the room, getting all the girls, free drinks, holidays, celebrity friends, TV shows... That's what being a DJ is all about. Isn't that right Jaymz, Alun?
I could have had all that too, but I DJ'd music with a fan base of....... me :(

No. Don't compare elizium to a staff night out, thats horribly insulting to it, surely.
I Guess i'm someone that 'whines' about there not being anything that I like going on in venues. This is mostly because i hate pretty much everything, and in all honesty Elizium stopped being enjoyable for me a long time ago. Thats not to say It's shit, in fact its ace.. But it's no longer for me. - tactful huh?
Overall though i love the Idea, Not just because it means folks can organise there own party around it, thus being more of a community event, but it blows out one of my major criticisms of elizium.. that is the Clique. If you Flyer for this shit, you may be able to drum up fresh blood.. Also those who know can host nice safe warm non clique (or a different clique) parties around this. I like it.

Hi,
Long time no see/type! Hows life going up North? (still lacking a decent goth/alternative club I see! ;-) ).
Was a very good night the radio thing (could have been a little better organised though ;-) ). Hopefully someone will let me know if you're doing anything similar in the future... I don't log on here too much these days, too much work, etc gets in the way.
Anyway, maybe see you the next time I'm up in Aberdeen (whenever that might be!)

Alternatively those who are so inclined are free to stay in and listen while playing Warcraft.
