GUITAR CENTRAL XMAS PARTY
« on: November 14, 2007, 10:20:49 AM »
Hehe... sori BAMF and Turi.  Nag agree si Poundcake na dapat separate ang xmas party ng Guitar Central (GC).  Since, the party is only for GC, I guess this thread belongs here.

Before we talk ideas for the party program and mechanics, let me get this out of the way.  This is why I think we should have our own party...

Ok lang magkaroon ng PhilMusic xmas party, but i don't know that GC can lead-organize it.  In fact, kung pang PhilMusic in general ang party, PhilMusic should be sanctioning it and even be initiating/organizing it.

I know GC had a fun and successful event last Sat, pero we need to consolidate and focus our energies on our own community first.  Wala pa nga tayo sa level ng Bass Place eh.  And madi-dilute ang substance and networking ng guitar player's community kung biglang lalaki ang grupo beyond GC.  From last Sat, di pa nga tayo kuntento sa networking and bonding, and ang daming di pa dumating at nakasali dun.  A bigger group's party is also logistically harder to organize.

So, I humbly move that GC hold its own xmas party. Any forumite is free to join the PhilMusic party, if ever there is one.  If we need a drummer, bassist, keyboardist for our party's open jam, madali lang naman siguro magyaya.

I'm willing to plan/organize, with Ian, turi, and kulas.  Meron na kong ideas for the program and mechanics and have started to bounce them around w/ the other guys.  Let's hear your ideas alos.

On to the ideas...

Another reason why I think this thread belongs here is because we need ideas ng mga activities, games and pakulo na guitar-related.   At the same time tho, we don't want this to be a pagalingan or pissing contest among guitarists.  Suggestion ko nga is silly games na guitar-related pero hindi maiinvolve ang pride bilang isang gitarista (vs. just the gear itself).

Here are some ideas:

Prizes for games and giveaways:
- we can have 'paripa'/raffle and give away prizes also for the games
- we can write Yupangco, JB, PJC, Lazer,  and other stores and ask them to donate a prize in exchange for 'media mileage' for the event.  sana cables, strings, etc! pwd na pang grand prize ang pedal!
- forumites can donate used or bnew stuff they wish to give away. i am donating a glass slide as a prize.

Equipment:
- I think Porch has already sufficient (and nice) equipment provided.  We can bring our own amps if we want. And our weapons of choice.

Performances
- we can invite guest bands/performers, if we need em. 
- we can just jam instead

Awards ???
- GAS King
- #1 poster
- best buy n seller
- favorite forumite (popularity contest)
- funniest poster

Games (puro silly, kid games lang pero guitar related):
- "Bring me" (eg, a pink thumbpick, a Mariposa #0 string, an R9 LP!)
- "Longest sustain" (instead of longest line) - pahabaan ng sustain on one bent note (using same amp)
- "Trip to Jerusalem" (hehe... katuwaan lang)
- ano pa ba???


O ayan, ideas lang yan ha. DAgdagan or comment-an nyo.  Bahala na ung committee pag decide.

Since Pasko, dapat meron ding reconciliation portion sa party.  Lahat ng nagsagutan sa forum eh kailangan mag-kiss-and-makeup kundi mahahampas ng gitara... :-D

I don't know about that. Kahit hindi pasko, I've made the effort to make a gentleman's reconciliation several times in the past years only to be disappointed and stabbed behind my back... Just relating my experience, since you asked.

If you don't mind bro, let's keep the discussions focused on the party itself.  Pinaguusapan namin ng organizers, we are really avoiding na mapulutika, smear ng controversy, or showbiz drama itong mga activities na to.  This is supposed to be fun.

Ay, sensitive... okay, no more jokes about it...  :-D

Kakainggit naman kayo.  May pedal party, tone party, christmas party, etc.  Sana i-webcast!   :-D

Hehe, sori bro, I just felt alluded to kasi ako pa lang naman ang poster (at usual suspect!)... but I do get the joke.  We broke down a lot of barriers last Saturday, hinay hinay natin and I'm sure we'll eventually end up being one big happy and peaceful community.

ok ung name that tune!  we prolly need someone to make an mp3 cd of the tunes. dapat multi-genre.

re food: initial thinking was masarap at busog sa catering. kaso mas simple at di magulo kung mag headcount na lang just before the party (eg, around noon) and then umorder na lang ng larged packed meal like ung sa KFC or Jollibee.  tapos singilan/bayaran din right at the party.   kung catered kasi baka magkaubusan ng pagkain, or sumobra (kung maraming drawing) tas magsisihan pa.

Mas maganda siguro instead of name that tune is paramihan ng mabuong famous solos! Parang yung sa video ni Marty Friedman at Paul Gilbert sa YouTube :)

Haha... I like!  Ang focus hindi ung pagalingan mag-gtr eh, pa-geek-an.  Pero di kaya mahaba tong game na to.  Pano kung may tumira ng solo ng Whole Lotta Love ni Jimmy Page!  :-D 

May naisip din ako... hulaan ng intervals in a scale pero style Eat Bulaga.  May isang tutugtog ng note tapos ung contestants tatakbo sa linya ng correct answer. Pwedeng pentatonic lang sa umpisa.  Kung key of E, 5 options lang: E, G, A, B, D. 

Kung maraming di matanggal, pwede ung next round pahirap ng pahirap, eg, Ionic, Mixolydyian Aelion scales na. 

Ung maiiwan, meron ding jackpot round.  Hulaan nya anong broken/jazz chord na tugtugin.

Hehe.

Gawin natin is may basket na puro papel na nakasulat dun yung mga solos na kelangan gawin. Tapos yung contestant yung magbubunot nung papel. Parang bingo style!

BAMF - Thanks!  Talagang maasahan ka! 

Pero I was thinking one time lang ung donation mo.  Nasa sa iyo na un ilang free mod services at scalarizer intalls willing ka i-donate. 


Btw, from your extensive experience organizing the past EBs, please make suggestions naman sa activities?  Baka gusto mo mag volunteer na rin. Hehe.  Ako at ung iba kasi, we just volunteered ourselves into it.  Haha...  Basta tulong tulong lang naman to eh.

Salamat sa suporta, Jobet.

How about a guitar pageant?   Pure beauty contest ng mga gitara -- tignan natin kung imported is matters than local!
