Congrats for your launch of an online Bollywood Award Vote. But there is still another one voted by online audience - the annual central european bollywood awards. And this year everything will be better at Marcos Awards, won’t it? Which award will be the more important one?

Crossposting from Baba Aur Bollywood:
There is no way I can fall asleep with the storm knocking with a speed of 75mph/120kmh on our windows (and we have lots of big windows) So why don´t I shoot forward and tell you what Michael, Beth and I have come up with.
There will be the first Pan-European/International-Bollywoodblogger-Meeting in Vienna on Saturday March 10th. And you´re all invited.

Kyun? Because we can. And because Beth will be visiting Vienna then. And since that is a very special occation and calls for a celebration anyway and since Michael invited himself too, we thought, hey, why not meet all of us?

We don´t have an agenda yet. But what we have is ek pura din, the whole saturday. And that means we will talk, eat, drink, watch (a) movie(s) and party. Plainly speaking a bunch of nice people with a vast interest in indian cinema (yes, it´s not BW-exclusive) will meet a bunch of nice people with a vast interest in indian cinema. Sounds fun, hai-naa?

So far I already have almost definite consents from some very cool people and I hope you will have time to show up too!

I´ll keep you posted with any news concerning accommodation and program and what else I might not think about right now (while the bloody wind throws around my -as I thought- heavily secured flowerpots). Oh and fire away with any questions you might have. Haan, email bhi, if you don´t want it public. babasko [at] gmail [.] com

UPDATE 1/31/2007: Yaaahooooo! Great feedback and already an impressive (if a bit heavy on the germanspeaking side) line-up. Beth. Michael. Marco. Maini. Oliver. Kaddele. Maria. Birgit. Maja and “my” complete Viennese BW gang.

ad Accommodation: If you´re short on funds. Don´t worry. As long as you make it to Vienna, we´ve got a couple of sofas for you (Not that there´s going to be much time for sleep)

UPDATE 2/3/2007: I´ve posted a suggestion for the meeting program on my own blog.

will become public at 18 cet. After horrible server time outs at former board hoster “Onetwomax” Marco from Molodezhnaja, one of the biggest Sources about Indian Cinema on the Net, decided to move the board to a provider-independend webspace of its own.
We’re all curious about the new place, new abilities to discuss - but unfortunately old posts can’t be moved to the new board but only by hand. Wish this new place all the best.

Which discussion boards about Bollywood could you recommend?

Edit: Big Hit: Marco, you’ve done a great job
