BenDrummin58's SeaHome Party 2006! - LD4All's Largest SD

Sorry to hear that Darxide :sad: That really sucks…lol. I am now officially the only host. Thankyou for those of you willing to help out a bit though…because without you guys, I would’ve canceled this party all together.

To be honest, I really don’t know how well tonight will work out. Having only 2 hosts was bad enough, but now with just one…eeek. lol. I guess we will just have to see what happens :razz:

Also, sorry for not holding another ‘practice dream’. I have been out of town since monday, and just got back an hour ago! We could’ve really used it too, so for that I apologize.

Anyways… I STRONGLY ecourage everybody to show up at chat before going to sleep at your times. Given the new situation, it makes it that much more needed.

Also, whatever happens tonight at the party, please don’t PM or email me about it. I’m not saying that in a rude way or anything, I just don’t want to be swamped with 41 messages. Instead…just post in this thread or talk about it in the chatroom.

That’s all!

Post it here, we’ll all want to read about it.

Please. :smile:

I am super-excited for tonight! Just one question… I am GMT -4, what time should I come on to the chat before going to sleep? I sleep at 11:00 my time.

Come into chat anytime you want starting now. Somebody there will inform you with what you need to know.

I’ve also created a countdown timer so you can check out when the actual party starts.

NOTE: when the timer hits 0, thats when you need to be falling asleep after you have done WBTB, OR you should be falling asleep by taking a nap in the morning (if you are one of the GMT+ users)

Here is the timer!

I’ve always had trouble getting onto the IRC chatrooms. How would I? lol. Whenever I ask an obvious question such as this one, my brother begins singing “Helpless” by Neil Young :tongue:

Good news though: I ran 5 miles today, and I think I’ll be able to fall asleep at 9. Yay. Anyways, help would be appreciated with the IRC thing :smile:

akk!!
I cant get on the chat, I’m at my cousin’s house and his computer is screwed up!!

Akk!

But I will be there tonight, and will be looking for the people we need to look for. By the way, Ben you have no idea how relieved i am to hear from you, I thought you were kidnapped by the red hair kid you kept looking for after the practice party. Good to hear you are safe.

Whats the story with the practice party anyway? what happened that night?

See you all tonight :grin:

Amused Himself to Death, hit the chat button at the top right of LD4All and go into the LD4all chatroom. Then, type the following:

/join #SeaPartyHQ

that will bring you to the chatroom!

indianinks…thankyou for your concerns :razz: I am in fact not being kidnapped by a red haired kid.

There was only one practice party, and you were part of it. I don’t know who was there, for I had extremely bad dream recall that night. The only thing I did remember from that dream is what I’ve said before: A kid with red curly hair and glasses. I don’t know who it is, nor will I ever…so yeah. lol.

Hopefully the party will be different though. The reason I had bad DR that one practice night was because I went to bed 2 hours later than I should’ve…and I just had less sleep from when I went to sleep to when I needed to get up for WBTB. That made my dream in the first REM cycle, which is roughly 10 minutes long in real life, and is also the hardest REM period to remember a dream from. So I won’t be doing that again…lol.

Anyways…see you tonight!

Some last-minute stuff came up and I will not be able to attend :sad: Hopefully next time.

…i am still up, and cant go to sleep for another 4 hours…i guess im going to miss this party…

crap… i realised i suck at WBTB last time i tried it, so i’ll probably not be there… i’ll go to the crossroads next time i get lucid tho… maybe it’ll increase my lucidity-frequency too:P the first meeting

Well, I have access to the internet right now, and the only shot I have at the party is a WILD at the right time. I’m gonna go for it, its better then nothing. Hope to see you there.

I’m guessing you are on WBTB too TheMadHatter?

At least I am…lol.

/me is extremely tired!

Sorry to hear that so many people can’t go though! Theres always more times though…so it’s ok.

Anyways yeah like I said I’m on my WBTB…and so are a few other in chat. Party will be in 24 minutes from right when I post this! woot!

Failed, my parents decided to wake me 30 minutes before the party… T_T

are they still in there???

I started my WBTB at 5:00, and got woken up about 15 minutes later by my mother getting ready for work!

Aww I don’t think I made it :sad: instead I had all these weird dreams about trying to get to the party, about going to bed at the right time, about a list of members and all that, but I was never actually there and I didn’t even go lucid lol. But oh well, there will be other opportunities.

Did anyone make it though? If you did, how was it?

I had friends over and went out bar-hopping, didn’t get back till 3am and didn’t sleep till 4am (time I was suppose to be waking up!), so I was in no shape to dream. I had some broken NLD’s, so I missed it.

Friday and Saturday nights are bad for me. Let’s do another one, I think it’s a fun idea, just bad timing this time.

Well, I can honestly say that the results so far was expected. Truthfully, I knew this would be the worst party (out of the ones to come) since about a week ago. The whole host-guest system was of course an extremely horrible idea created by me…lol…and spelled failure all over the place with 1 person trying to get together 41 people. In the next week or so, I will be announcing the next party, and I gurantee it will be much more organized. I already have a system that will not make a couple of people have way too much responsibility, and everybody else no responsibility…instead everybody has an equal part, which is a good thing. I will also leave a gap of somewhere between one to two months between the announcement and the actual party itself, so that people get a chance to practice and get used to everything. Also, I might even put a member limit of about 20 users, so that things aren’t too over-populated. Lastly…the party will not just be on one night. It will occur on 3 consecutive nights so that everybody has more chances to actually achieve lucidity and make it.

I think the idea of smaller practice parties, small groups with closer party dates would be good. Have a bunch, once a week or more. Pick a date, have people sign up for it and go.

Trying to balance it all on one date is hard. I was keen to do it, but I couldn’t turn down a bunch of friends coming over on a Friday night. That’s why a mid-week party would work better for me.

Ya, I didn’t make it. I had a LD at the right time andgot completely confused. Before I became lucid, I “realized” I had fallen asleep at 2 not 5, and it was 4 then. So I decided to sleep and become lucid. That’s when I realized it was a dream and I was supposed to be at the party then. I tried to fly there, but the dream faded. :sad:

Well, I did have one of the best nights in a long time despite the failure to make it to the party. I hope those who did make it had fun.
