July 1, 2009 Meeting Minutes - SLCC 09 Music Track

Here is the bizarre chatlog from July 1st. I am sorry for the delay but I wasn't sure if I should post it considering how the meeting went...
so without further delay.

[17:54]  Apple MacKay: ok so Ray Kurzweil
[17:54]  Apple MacKay: cool huh?

[17:55]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Shhh, it's nasus!
[17:55]  Nasus Dumart: that's good news, Filthy!
[17:55]  Filthy Fluno: we want to auction the art off on sat night and give proceeds to an SL charity
[17:56]  SeanMcPherson Senior hides all the fun toys since Nasus is harder on us than Apple.
[17:56]  Mia Kitchensink: cool
[17:56]  Nasus Dumart: hahahah
[17:56]  Apple MacKay: like the music track?
[17:56]  Mia Kitchensink: who is the artist
[17:56]  Nasus Dumart has eyes in the back of her head

[18:10]  Misty Rhodes: so TFU is hosting it instead
[18:10]  Apple MacKay: yeah and we proposed the Musicians Ball
[18:10]  Apple MacKay: via RFP
[18:10]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Yeah, that'd be the thing I started the voting for on Jade Lily's "UserVoice link" 5 months ago, that has 150+ votes :P
[18:10]  Apple MacKay: and were officially awarded that

[18:11]  Misty Rhodes: proposed yes
[18:12]  SeanMcPherson Senior blinks 'proposed yes'?
[18:12]  Misty Rhodes: i don't have a problem with it
[18:12]  Apple MacKay: Im confused I think
[18:12]  SeanMcPherson Senior: A month ago today we were accepted, and Rhi's been at these meetings for weeks.
[18:12]  Misty Rhodes: what is important is that you all play
[18:13]  Misty Rhodes: you have all worked really hard for this
[18:13]  SeanMcPherson Senior: there's a helluva lot more involved than that we 'play'. or Else I'm seriously wondering what else is cooprting the event we've been working on
[18:13]  SeanMcPherson Senior: sorry, I'll shut up and let apple talk; he's lead.
[18:13]  Apple MacKay: including the 7 panels that we are running
[18:13]  SeanMcPherson Senior: This is just very 'surprising' to say the least
[18:14]  Misty Rhodes: I am sorry
[18:14]  Misty Rhodes: you are losing me as well
[18:14]  Misty Rhodes: you have the stage for the entire event
[18:14]  Misty Rhodes: were you planing an event outside of our yearly event
[18:14]  Misty Rhodes: is that what I am missing
[18:15]  Nasus Dumart: Let's just call it the Musician's Ball / Love In - or something like that
[18:15]  Nasus Dumart: and work on the same thing
[18:15]  Apple MacKay: um
[18:15]  Misty Rhodes: that works
[18:15]  Misty Rhodes: its not changing what you have been planing does it?
[18:15]  Apple MacKay: we didnt propose the stage we proposed the event
[18:15]  Misty Rhodes: ohhh
[18:16]  Apple MacKay: but lets just get though this
[18:16]  Katydid Something: It can be the same event
[18:16]  Apple MacKay: I think you may have just jumped in fast Misty

[18:18]  Apple MacKay: good all around as far as a music aspect goes
[18:19]  Apple MacKay: we have a few dead lines fast approaching
[18:19]  Apple MacKay: July 7th
[18:19]  Filthy Fluno: googles him quickly and nods pretending to know who that is
[18:19]  Katydid Something: LOL!
[18:19]  Nasus Dumart: lol Filthy
[18:19]  Mia Kitchensink: lol
[18:20]  Mia Kitchensink: Is July 7 for sponsors set in concrete? I had slowed down on looking for them.
[18:20]  Apple MacKay: but I have been talking with Nexeus and Rhiannon the past day about making info availible on the slcc site
[18:20]  Paisley Beebe: makes good keyboards
[18:20]  Paisley Beebe: the musical kind...
[18:20]  Nasus Dumart: brb - kids
[18:20]  Apple MacKay: like the panels
[18:21]  Apple MacKay: I spoke with Katy today and the panel listing document on google is up to date and ready to be drawn upon...
[18:21]  Apple MacKay: correct Katy?
[18:21]  Katydid Something: yes
[18:21]  Paisley Beebe: have you chosen panilists?
[18:21]  Apple MacKay: ok I will share that with the board tonight
[18:21]  Katydid Something: I can release it with everything subject to change
[18:21]  Katydid Something: ;)
[18:22]  Apple MacKay: lol
[18:22]  Katydid Something: darn musicians!
[18:22]  Katydid Something: LOL
[18:22]  Apple MacKay: Katy can you list the 7 panels and panelists moderators?
[18:22]  Katydid Something: I have commitments for every session for presenters
[18:22]  SeanMcPherson Senior notes in a couple of spots on some docs he saw his name "SeanMcPherson Senior" spelled "Sean McPhearsonSr" which isn't quite the same, so if anyone can search/replace before anything goes publish, it'd be good :)
[18:22]  Paisley Beebe: oh so you have chosen panalists
[18:22]  Apple MacKay: on the record... subject to change
[18:23]  Paisley Beebe: I was hoping to be asked...
[18:23]  Mia Kitchensink: I also know of a name type on the slcc website
[18:23]  Mia Kitchensink: typo
[18:23]  Katydid Something: it's not too late paisely
[18:23]  Katydid Something: Paisley
[18:23]  Paisley Beebe: Well I do have a pretty unique position
[18:23]  Paisley Beebe: and Im very vocal about the industry
[18:23]  Paisley Beebe: but I understand I haven't been to the last few meetings
[18:24]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Paisley, I'm pretty sure that the listeds are simply the bare minimums to get us there, not the max :P
[18:24]  Kate Miranda: I just hope that classical music, early music and music education gets in there somewhere
[18:24]  Apple MacKay: appreciated... Paisley needs to be on a panel
[18:24]  Katydid Something: This is the first year we have done this so we are trying to cover as much as we can without running concurrent sessions
[18:24]  Filthy Fluno: and you got that cool accent that strangely all us yanks love to listen to
[18:24]  Filthy Fluno: and you're hot
[18:24]  Paisley Beebe: snort
[18:24]  Crap Mariner: and the big nose to snort through!
[18:24]  Paisley Beebe: flounces hair :)
[18:24]  Mia Kitchensink: lol
[18:24]  Crap Mariner: MAN what a snort!
[18:24]  Apple MacKay: easy fella's
[18:24]  Katydid Something: So noone misses any thing and no one has to choose
[18:24]  Filthy Fluno: k... shutting up again
[18:25]  Katydid Something: But, yes, Paisley you are on my list!!
[18:25]  Paisley Beebe: sorry I thought this was all about me again....
[18:25]  Paisley Beebe: smirk
[18:25]  Paisley Beebe: back in my box :)
[18:25]  Apple MacKay: ok... gave Lyndon's update... I spoke with him the other night
[18:25]  Apple MacKay: the musicians listed will be there afaik
[18:26]  Katydid Something: OK -- I have 2 things in the performance area that I think we need to fit in
[18:26]  Katydid Something: both would be SL based
[18:26]  Apple MacKay: we are still waiting on hearing about sound reinforcement and networking issues
[18:26]  Apple MacKay: also waiting on hearing about the SL / LL SIM commitment
[18:26]  Apple MacKay: if there even is one
[18:26]  Katydid Something: One is I'd like to have Graces Musimmersion presented sometime before we have her panel
[18:27]  Apple MacKay: exactly
[18:27]  Apple MacKay: like immediately prior
[18:27]  Katydid Something: no
[18:27]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Katy: same, but since we know exactly 0 about the networking side of the house *shrug* I'm still on square 0.
[18:27]  Katydid Something: I'm thinking the previous evenging
[18:27]  Apple MacKay: and then have the panel after as a decompression/after show event
[18:27]  Apple MacKay: realize that the events need to function like sl events
[18:27]  Katydid Something: not the way it's scheduled
[18:28]  Katydid Something: wont work
[18:28]  Apple MacKay: so plan accordingly
[18:28]  Katydid Something: and The other presented today by Kate for a classical music perforamnce at noon on Saturday
[18:28]  Katydid Something: from Music Island
[18:28]  Apple MacKay: yes we need to look into the master scchedule at this point with Rhiannon
[18:29]  Apple MacKay: and start firming up timeslots / resources
[18:29]  Apple MacKay: Sean do you have anything?
[18:29]  Katydid Something: I was thinking of seeing if Musimmersion can be like 5:30 on Friday before the SteamPunk event
[18:29]  Katydid Something: it's just an hour
[18:29]  Nasus Dumart: ok - back and read up. :)
[18:30]  SeanMcPherson Senior: And we have to know what rooms we'll be in so we can determine who/how we stream in/from SL. remember, so far as we know, only the main room ever has bandwidth and we don't know how much we can depend on yet.
[18:30]  Kate Miranda: Would it be terrible if people had to choose if the types of events were very different?
[18:30]  Apple MacKay: I really have to say it should be immediately prior to the chat... I'm pretty convinced of that and it'd take alot to change my mind
[18:30]  Katydid Something: Apple, I have Max and Mimi before
[18:30]  Paisley Beebe: have to go battery running out :) will read the chat log bye all :)
[18:30]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Apple: Sadly, I'm stuck at 0, still. Although I'm working on backup plans, regardless. I can say the Blank Canvas sim is entirely free for our use if we need it, and Grace's Musimmersion is already set up there this year, so that's easy. As far as my panel, I've got a lot of good data together. Do we know if Ham is firm for it as well?
[18:31]  Apple MacKay: can we change there slot?
[18:31]  Katydid Something: handling the information as educational \
[18:31]  Katydid Something: there is no place
[18:31]  SeanMcPherson Senior: I dropped Nex another copy of the notecard, and I haven't heard back, but the news re: possibly having to go thru TFU for every single Q for the ghotel is gonna make this a kludge at best
[18:31]  Apple MacKay: ok we can chat
[18:31]  Katydid Something: and I'd rather not do that to grace
[18:31]  Apple MacKay: I call you again
[18:31]  Apple MacKay: tommorrow
[18:31]  Katydid Something: it would be she's on for over an hor
[18:31]  Katydid Something: hour
[18:32]  Nasus Dumart: I called the hotel - tried to get any info - floor plans - They said it all goes through Nex
[18:32]  SeanMcPherson Senior: I also have snagged a Verizon EVDO card and a private wifi router we can use, and I'm hoping to score a sprint one as well, so we have our own out of band bandwidth we can use for at least streaming audio (at worst) into a shoutcast server, and possibly can use w/ SL, if the hotels network goes to hell as usual.
[18:33]  Nasus Dumart: that's an excellent backup, Sean
[18:33]  SeanMcPherson Senior: I've also called a local wireless provider but they say all the hotels have the bandwidth market wrapped up and hate hearing the word 'outside provider', so other than what I'm able to do w/ cellular modems and private lans in a couple fo rooms, god only knows.
[18:33]  SeanMcPherson Senior: That isn't optimal, obviously, but even just ebing sure we can stream the audio out into SL is a win :P
[18:33]  Apple MacKay: ok but realized the aircards networks are gonna be maxxed as well with the filemaker con and other stuff in SF that weekend
[18:33]  Nasus Dumart: right
[18:34]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Apple: Thus tryig to have multiple providers' networks; Verizon, Sprint, etc.
[18:34]  Katydid Something: I have an att broadband card
[18:34]  SeanMcPherson Senior: At a certain point, it's 'all I can do' :)
[18:34]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Katy: I will give you a kidney if you can bring it. PCMCIA or USB?
[18:34]  Apple MacKay: understood
[18:34]  Katydid Something: usb
[18:34]  SeanMcPherson Senior: good enough :)
[18:34]  Apple MacKay: no word from Swank or Nexeus at this point?
[18:34]  Apple MacKay: we cant even get floorplans
[18:35]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Apple: Nope. I dropped him another copy of the notecard, asking him to reply to me and Ed Lowell. Nada yet, and the hotel wouldn't talk to me, either.
[18:35]  Misty Rhodes: the floorplans are on the website
[18:35]  Misty Rhodes: downloadable
[18:35]  Misty Rhodes: and Nexus just got back the Technical information that you need
[18:35]  Apple MacKay: tell us what rooms and configurations are planned
[18:35]  Misty Rhodes: i will make sure he forwards it to you
[18:35]  Apple MacKay: ok
[18:35]  SeanMcPherson Senior: I grabbed the floorplans from their eplanners kit
[18:36]  SeanMcPherson Senior: but it doesn't have a lot of data on it; I'm assuming those're what you're referring to, Misty?
[18:36]  Misty Rhodes: yes
[18:36]  Apple MacKay: so we also got out the posters last week ... I hope everyone has a few around
[18:36]  Misty Rhodes: everything that was listed in your proposal for the Music Track
[18:36]  Misty Rhodes: Nexeus knows the details of what we have and don't have
[18:36]  Apple MacKay: please take em and put em everywhere
[18:36]  Apple MacKay: the y are fully copiable
[18:37]  Kate Miranda: What hardware do you need? I know some people in SF I can ask... no guarantees...
[18:37]  Apple MacKay: one side is full bright... the other isnt
[18:37]  Apple MacKay: so you can choose
[18:37]  SeanMcPherson Senior: That's my update ATM, apple :) Soon's I get the card from nex and can rush forward, I will, but I'm doing as much as I can to have as many optional plans to go with it as I can.
[18:37]  Apple MacKay: and it is fully resizable to the owner via a menu
[18:37]  Kate Miranda: I don't want to interupt but if you can drop a list on me... I'll ask
[18:37]  Katydid Something: Hiya Thynka!
[18:38]  Apple MacKay: understood Sean, TY
[18:38]  Thynka Little: hiya
[18:38]  SeanMcPherson Senior: stuff that's easy to do with a handful of ethernet cables and a couple of wifi cards, linksys's that take PCMCIA cards, etc (and now I'm gonna owe Katy a kidney, too, but it's worth it)
[18:38]  Nasus Dumart: :)
[18:38]  Nasus Dumart: Kate - Are you in the SF area?
[18:38]  Apple MacKay: ok, Sean do you have a consolidated list?
[18:39]  Apple MacKay: Kate including Musical equipment
[18:39]  Apple MacKay: because we have a list of that stuff too
[18:39]  Apple MacKay: lol
[18:39]  Filthy Fluno: may I ask if there's any sponsorship opportunities for companies to donate equipment?
[18:39]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Apple: 99% of the gear we need is what the *musicians* need, and the projectors and such that were requested early. The rest of it is literally just stuff that'll fit in a laptop bag, once we know how many network ports we get, if we can have an out of band or QOS connection, etc. I have no idea what the hotel is providing to know what would be on any list yet :P
[18:39]  Kate Miranda: No, I'm in Toronto but I am a Brainstormer... a member of Howard Rheingold's online community and a lot of them are in SF and in the computer industry
[18:40]  Mia Kitchensink: hi there thynka
[18:40]  Nasus Dumart: ah - I was asking b/c I am asking local shops and internet friendly cafes to post the flyer in windos
[18:40]  Thynka Little: hi Mia
[18:40]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Literally, with the Linksys gear I'm bringing, I can bring up 2 dedicated networks with 2 different carriers, wire them to laptops, etc and send streams up sprint or verizon etc, and with Katy's ATT we'd have a 3rd that can be used on a single laptop, etc.
[18:40]  Nasus Dumart: thought you may be able to suggest places to email
[18:40]  Apple MacKay: but Sean do we have a darwin server... QTSS?
[18:40]  Apple MacKay: for video
[18:40]  SeanMcPherson Senior: If the hotel networks goes to hell, we at least can get 1 laptop in each room on a dedicated WLAN out
[18:41]  Mia Kitchensink: so is july 7 set in stone? I had slowed down on sponsors
[18:41]  Kate Miranda: Howard would... he's in SL under his own name... the Linden's made him a special avatar
[18:41]  Apple MacKay: I'd love to have Video into SL
[18:41]  Thynka Little: well, who is handling the internet service for the event?
[18:41]  Filthy Fluno: can i make a comment/suggestion about wireless access?
[18:41]  SeanMcPherson Senior: The hotel, Thynka, and that's all I know so far.
[18:41]  Thynka Little: i mean for the entire event
[18:41]  Filthy Fluno: i've done a few mixed reality art/music events
[18:41]  Mia Kitchensink: good ones too
[18:41]  Apple MacKay: the hotel
[18:41]  Mia Kitchensink: ;D
[18:42]  Mia Kitchensink: afk
[18:42]  Apple MacKay: via a preferred provider
[18:42]  Thynka Little: no outside contractor?
[18:42]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Filthy, please do :)
[18:42]  Thynka Little: oh ok
[18:42]  Apple MacKay: SwankAV
[18:42]  Apple MacKay: Union establishment
[18:42]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Thynka, we don't know if we're allowed ot have anyone else yet other than SwankAV and even if Swank is really networking or just AV
[18:42]  Apple MacKay: the whole hotel
[18:42]  Filthy Fluno: k... it might sound simple... but my last one at a gallery we had horrible wireless internet
[18:42]  Kate Miranda: yikes
[18:42]  Filthy Fluno: so I went to a few of the shops next door to the gallery
[18:43]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Filthy: that's what my deepest nightmare is especially given how hard it has been just to find out who's doing it, much less what *kind* of access we have.
[18:43]  Mia Kitchensink: back
[18:43]  Filthy Fluno: told them what i was doing and asked if i could log on to their wireless network for the night
[18:43]  Apple MacKay: so we have to have Union there ther entire time
[18:43]  Thynka Little: i have had the best success getting in contact with the outside providers directly
[18:43]  Filthy Fluno: i got 2 out of 4 peple say yes
[18:43]  Thynka Little: oi
[18:43]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Anywho, folks, until I get NEx's data and can follow up, don't sweat it
[18:43]  Filthy Fluno: so... one wireless internet coming from a restaurant which we used to stream into SL
[18:44]  Apple MacKay: ok lets move on as this is all just speculation at this point
[18:44]  SeanMcPherson Senior: when I hear it's on fire, then I'll come screaming around in circles :P
[18:44]  Filthy Fluno: then another bar for streaming musician into the gallery
[18:44]  Filthy Fluno: ok
[18:44]  Filthy Fluno: ?
[18:44]  Apple MacKay: Lets address Misty's unusal start to tonights meeting
[18:44]  Nasus Dumart: lol
[18:45]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Filthy: That's what I'm hoping they can provide, but if not, I'm bringing the gear to do it myself, and damn any union if I wanna plug my own EVDO card into my own gear, or a friends who is there streaming :P
[18:45]  Feline Slade: Apple MacKay, master of understatement
[18:45]  SeanMcPherson Senior nods
[18:45]  Apple MacKay: Misty I think you may have come on a lil strong maybe in search of Humor...
[18:45]  Apple MacKay: but the idea we had was to hold the SL Musicians Ball
[18:45]  Misty Rhodes: i was not being humorous nor trying to come on strong
[18:45]  Mia Kitchensink: No, she had just been thinking of a name and I think that was confusion.
[18:45]  Mia Kitchensink: We are all on the same page
[18:46]  Apple MacKay: and We all vvoted on a poster and such
[18:46]  Misty Rhodes: i really want to just step back and let you do it your way
[18:46]  Misty Rhodes: i think there was confusion on both parts
[18:46]  Apple MacKay: and an ides
[18:46]  Apple MacKay: idea
[18:46]  Misty Rhodes: but i was not in any way being harsh or strong
[18:46]  Apple MacKay: that was to have a really cool live music event
[18:46]  Misty Rhodes: in fact i felt that was what i was given
[18:47]  Katydid Something: Well, I think Misty's ideas add depth and a theme which will fit
[18:47]  Mia Kitchensink: yes
[18:47]  Mia Kitchensink: everything we all do is needed
[18:47]  Mia Kitchensink: amd headed to the same event and cause
[18:47]  Apple MacKay: I have heard you had decorating ideas but I didnt know you had planned an entire event with us just providing the entertainment
[18:47]  Nasus Dumart: I am relieved to have Misty take on the job - was just caught up in what the events was called
[18:47]  Misty Rhodes: i will say it again
[18:48]  Misty Rhodes: i was told we were hosting Saturday night
[18:48]  Misty Rhodes: i have not missed a board meeting in 3 years
[18:48]  Katydid Something: And Rhiannon had said that Saturday was our lead
[18:48]  Misty Rhodes: i was the first to read your proposal
[18:48]  Katydid Something: so we were unaware that TFU was sponsoring it
[18:49]  Misty Rhodes: and Rhiannon/Joyce said you had lots of plans in the works for an event
[18:49]  Thynka Little: is the Caledon Ball Friday?
[18:49]  Nasus Dumart: yeah - that's right Katy - define 'hosting'
[18:49]  Misty Rhodes: i think where the wires got crossed was that we both thought our events were separate
[18:49]  Katydid Something: Saturday, Thynka
[18:49]  Misty Rhodes: yes Friday night is the Steampunk Ball
[18:49]  Thynka Little: ty
[18:49]  Misty Rhodes: that is Caledon
[18:49]  Nasus Dumart: right
[18:49]  Apple MacKay: we were told the event needed to be subsidized with sponsorship or ticket sales... we had no idea this was going to be your Lead
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: I really don't have an issue with you running with it
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: i was hurt but the reception when I spoke
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: i was asking you what you all had planned
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: its much easier for me to step aside
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: but i was not harsh
[18:50]  Katydid Something: the problem with chat
[18:50]  Misty Rhodes: nor humorous
[18:50]  Katydid Something: no other cues
[18:50]  Nasus Dumart: we had planned the music, but was not sure what was covered with catering
[18:51]  Misty Rhodes: i agree
[18:51]  Misty Rhodes: but never had trouble before
[18:51]  Apple MacKay: ok look I think we should work together... like you said I think there was a bit of mis communication
[18:51]  Nasus Dumart: then we got really nervous thinking we had to come up with a way to PAY for it!
[18:51]  Mia Kitchensink: yes, just lots to pack in to 1 meeting
[18:51]  Nasus Dumart: so we started thinking about ticket sales and raffles
[18:51]  Nasus Dumart: lol
[18:51]  Thynka Little: sponsors?
[18:52]  Katydid Something: yes, Thynka
[18:52]  Filthy Fluno: yea how's the sponsorships coming?
[18:52]  SeanMcPherson Senior waves a hand "Still really nervouos over here, having *seen* some numbers from the hotel's listed prices"
[18:52]  Nasus Dumart: trying like hell to get sponsors
[18:52]  Mia Kitchensink: we are trying hard to get sponsors but dont know if we did any good
[18:52]  Thynka Little: we have to use the hotel for catering right?
[18:52]  Misty Rhodes: yes
[18:52]  Thynka Little: is this an after dinner event?
[18:52]  Nasus Dumart: 7p-1a
[18:52]  Katydid Something: yes
[18:53]  Nasus Dumart: depends on what time Dinner IS for you
[18:53]  Thynka Little: i recently ordered way too much food for an after dinner music event
[18:53]  Thynka Little: at a marriott
[18:53]  Katydid Something: but it's going till 1 am
[18:53]  Nasus Dumart: we need buffet and bar
[18:53]  Apple MacKay: no food
[18:53]  Apple MacKay: just a bar
[18:53]  Nasus Dumart: no, apple
[18:53]  Thynka Little: at 7pm, people will not have time for a full restaurant meal before
[18:53]  Katydid Something: Pizza or someting!
[18:54]  Mia Kitchensink: so no biggie, it will be like a cash bar for snacks or more
[18:54]  Nasus Dumart: finger food and veggies
[18:54]  Apple MacKay: for how many?
[18:54]  Katydid Something: hot dogs
[18:54]  Thynka Little: corn dogs
[18:54]  Nasus Dumart: Sourdough bread
[18:54]  Mia Kitchensink: that will be the hotels headache to be a good provider
[18:54]  Apple MacKay: 200,, 300, 400?
[18:54]  Misty Rhodes: you can also see the menus
[18:54]  Misty Rhodes: i will send you the link
[18:55]  Thynka Little: consider a dessert extravaganza
[18:55]  Katydid Something: wonder if they will customize for an event
[18:55]  Mia Kitchensink: yeah
[18:55]  Filthy Fluno: yea thinka.. i like the way you think!
[18:55]  Mia Kitchensink: on the desserts, lol
[18:55]  Apple MacKay: ok so Misty tell us about "Your" event
[18:56]  Katydid Something: Misty share your vision
[18:56]  Misty Rhodes: There is not much to tell because I was going to plan it around all of you
[18:56]  Katydid Something: sorry apple
[18:56]  Misty Rhodes: we have the ballroom from 7pm to 1am
[18:56]  Katydid Something: Well I like the idea of flower leis and face painting
[18:56]  Misty Rhodes: wanted to make it an easy theme to make those that in past years shied away from the Stroker Ball more apt to attend this year
[18:57]  Mia Kitchensink: hippie is an easy theme
[18:57]  Nasus Dumart: Misty - I was looking into getting a hand stamp of the peace sign, just like in the poster
[18:57]  Misty Rhodes: yes
[18:57]  Katydid Something: tie dye!
[18:57]  Misty Rhodes: very easy
[18:57]  Nasus Dumart: yeah - and fun
[18:57]  Mia Kitchensink: well back goes the dress i bought
[18:57]  Misty Rhodes: and u don't have to be a size 3 to wear something and have fun
[18:58]  Misty Rhodes: why?
[18:58]  Misty Rhodes: not everyone will come in theme
[18:58]  Katydid Something looks in the back of her closet for her old bell bottoms!
[18:58]  Nasus Dumart: right
[18:58]  Mia Kitchensink: lol
[18:58]  Misty Rhodes: i say where what makes you feel good
[18:58]  Filthy Fluno: tie die supplies are totally totally cheap too
[18:58]  Misty Rhodes: wear even
[18:58]  Nasus Dumart: 00 Katy - briing 'em!
[18:58]  Filthy Fluno: buckets, string, rubber bands, rite die
[18:58]  Mia Kitchensink: says the artist
[18:58]  Nasus Dumart: :)
[18:58]  Crap Mariner: I know someone who might be able to help pull in a sponsor or two.
[18:58]  Katydid Something: we could do tie dyes right there!
[18:58]  Mia Kitchensink: i will buy mine in a store
[18:58]  Misty Rhodes: Rhiannon was going to do the face painting
[18:58]  Nasus Dumart: good to know, Crap
[18:58]  Mia Kitchensink: who is that crap
[18:59]  Thynka Little: lol Katy
[18:59]  Mia Kitchensink: fun
[18:59]  Apple MacKay: not tie dying in the hotel at an event
[18:59]  Apple MacKay: no
[18:59]  Apple MacKay: sorry
[18:59]  Misty Rhodes: noooo
[18:59]  Misty Rhodes: no way
[18:59]  Thynka Little: we could do a commemorative tie dye t-shirt
[18:59]  Misty Rhodes: as Filthy knows
[18:59]  Katydid Something: LOL I was kidding!!!
[18:59]  Apple MacKay: ok
[18:59]  Misty Rhodes: u have to batten down the place
[18:59]  Misty Rhodes: lol
[18:59]  SeanMcPherson Senior will be kilted, regardless.
[18:59]  Mia Kitchensink: good. arts and crafts are not fun
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: Phoenix Linden wore a kilt at the first slcc
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: i love em
[19:00]  Thynka Little: we make ours in the bathtub
[19:00]  Mia Kitchensink: ;D
[19:00]  Katydid Something: kilts or tie dyes?
[19:00]  Thynka Little: tie dye kilts!
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: you could do a shirt ahead of time
[19:00]  Thynka Little: lol
[19:00]  Mia Kitchensink: lol
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: and have all the musicians sign them
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: and any Lindens in attendance
[19:00]  Misty Rhodes: and give it as a door prize or such
[19:01]  Mia Kitchensink: and we want lots of autographs for nasus book - at the book signing
[19:01]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Okay, Apple, I'm now lost enough I need to know: who's paying for what. and how much are 'we' on the hook for and how much is TFU, etc? There's a lot of $ that just got winged around re: catering, bar, etc.
[19:01]  Mia Kitchensink: you could even raffle off a few books signed by many Nasus
[19:01]  Thynka Little: you need a cash bar setup
[19:01]  Katydid Something: yes
[19:01]  Misty Rhodes: even with a cash bar
[19:01]  Crap Mariner: and clean needles
[19:01]  Thynka Little: sometimes there is a service charge for that
[19:01]  Misty Rhodes: its 200 per bartender
[19:01]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Thynka: yes, and those cost money + the drinks, etc.
[19:01]  Misty Rhodes: for x hours
[19:01]  Mia Kitchensink: wow
[19:02]  Misty Rhodes: and then add on to that
[19:02]  SeanMcPherson Senior: At the eplanner kit which I've read cover to cover on all items
[19:02]  Apple MacKay: understood... I dont know
[19:02]  Kate Miranda still has a tie-dyed "Bodhisattva Frisbee Society" T-shirt with a picture of the goddess kali holding a lot of Frisbees from a team project in 1971
[19:02]  SeanMcPherson Senior: every 100 people == new host, miniumum hours, etc
[19:02]  Mia Kitchensink: so are sponsors rolling in or hiding
[19:02]  Mia Kitchensink: i will nudge my big possibility again
[19:03]  Misty Rhodes: its a tight year for everyone
[19:03]  SeanMcPherson Senior: $250 per hour per host per every 100 users, plus taxes, with a certain # hour minimum per host, etc, IIRC
[19:03]  Mia Kitchensink: so should we quit seeking sponsors by the 7th, or keep going with that?
[19:03]  SeanMcPherson Senior: (that's from memory, and TFU may have a different pricing than the event planner data)
[19:03]  Misty Rhodes: nope that sounds right
[19:03]  Katydid Something: I'd keep going until August 16th!
[19:03]  Misty Rhodes: what Katydid said
[19:04]  Mia Kitchensink: ok
[19:04]  Apple MacKay: ok I have a busy few days to find out answers to these questions
[19:04]  Thynka Little: hmmm....how about Kurzweil?
[19:05]  Filthy Fluno: kurzweil is speaking for free???
[19:05]  Nasus Dumart: Yeah - having him on board may lure sponsors
[19:05]  Thynka Little: just saying...
[19:05]  Mia Kitchensink: Boy, the hotel isn't shy. That's a shame. I guess they don't budge on their prices?
[19:05]  Crap Mariner: (wonderful choice of hotel)
[19:05]  Misty Rhodes: I wanted the Marriott
[19:05]  Misty Rhodes: they were so good to us in Tampa
[19:05]  Apple MacKay: we are going over an hour and I'd like to adjourn if thats ok with everyone... I'll post the chat log as usuasl
[19:05]  Mia Kitchensink: ok
[19:05]  Filthy Fluno: i'm doing SLCC Part deux at the Super 8 Hotel down the street
[19:05]  Crap Mariner: woot! hot tub time!
[19:05]  SeanMcPherson Senior: Apple, fine with me. I'm still just spinning my wheels, basically.
[19:06]  Misty Rhodes: Feel free if you rather deal with Rhiannon but you can send all your questions to me
[19:06]  Misty Rhodes: and I will have the answers at the next meeting
[19:06]  Apple MacKay: I'll see if we can start making some traction
[19:06]  Katydid Something: It's all coming in to focus, kids
[19:06]  Misty Rhodes: or you can do it with Rhiannon
[19:06]  Mia Kitchensink: yes it is
[19:06]  Katydid Something: have no fear
[19:06]  Misty Rhodes: thanks for listening ot me
[19:06]  Misty Rhodes: have a good night all
[19:06]  Apple MacKay: Nexeus has heard something recently
[19:06]  Nasus Dumart: Thanks Misty
