surely the lack of gravity on the moon would play havoc with the turntables tho?

Half of Bloc usually look like they're there anyway.

The moon is too far, Hemsby was far enough for me... Plus can you imagine the stench when the space suits come off after 3 days, Fenchurch Dome effect x10000000000000000000000

Please dont hold it on the moon ;)

This what I planned to post at this time of year, but I suppose as we don't know when it's gonna be anymore it doesn't really work :(

Here's hoping for news soon and that Bloc isn't much later than March

seriously though...

Any real ideas of other places it could be? Come on its fun.

I was thinking of places that have facilities to house people as well as areas for shit to go down on a bigger scale and its simple. Prisons. :idea:

They're just gonna truck us all in in an armoured bus and lock the doors. Half the Bloccers get guard uniforms and half get prisoner uniforms. Social experimentation and great music, what more could you ask for?

I reckon hiring a cruise ship for a week is the way forward. Taking the Bangboat concept to a whole new level..

How about the centre of the earth? Plenty more room, if it's camping it's nice & warm there, plus pretty spectacular light shows. Anyone who has seen the core will also know a rave there would being do it's bit for climate change. If you've not seen the core you can view this factual documentary below

What about a university campus? Loads of bedrooms and communal kitchens. I don't think they would have the epic dancing rooms of butlins but they are more empty in the summer so you can go outdoors but still keep the staying in a bed element. Uni rooms are like single beds though right. Hmmmm just an idea.

I know there was a punk rock festival at a uni near London somewhere. Can't remember where though.

Yeah I thought of the Uni thing too, a campus Uni like Loughborough or something.

But don't reckon it would work, single rooms, not much in the way of communal areas, and don't think they would have anywhere for the stages.

I'm still stumped, Bloc, any news?

So tweeting is for douchebags. OK... OK...,

but I just saw this from Bloc

Bloc will be spending New Year's Eve with @EElectrics - massive lineup and new, secret venue all TBA - mega EXCITING http://ymlp.com/z6Z0jf

Does this mean we have to wait 'til New Years Eve to hear the news? Too long I cry!
