Hey all,
We are making jewelry tonight in AV 6-2 after 8ish. Please come by and help if you are free.
Can anyone help sell jewelry on Friday??
Remember, the more money we get, the better our show will look and be. Plus it's a good way to get to know each other and get closer.

Fund Raising Ideas
We need more ideas for fundraising. Hopefully we can do something with the zombie prom and culture shock. But we need ideas and we need to work together to make it happen.
The profit should out way the cost in a good ratio.

Food ideas
To know how much we need to fundraise for food specifically it would be nice to have a general idea of what types of food we are interested in getting. And what we can save by making ourselves.
Design Ideas
Let's put together some design ideas here. Could be about the poster or the show itself.

Poster, Site, and Fundraising
Crystal has registered a domain name. Thank you Crystal! We also settled on Bow's drawing for the poster. It will be turned into a vector graphic and scaled up to conform to something on the order of 11"x17". Jon C. will purchase LED's which will highlight the sun on the drawing. Mike K.'s Dr. Strangelove slogan was also formally adopted: "Evolve: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love New Media".
Please provide Crystal with the information she has requested ASAP.
We plan to have some content on the site immediately, and to flesh it out in greater detail in mid to late April (at which time you should all have more to show!!!)
Some additional thoughts on fundraising (this becomes an issue in that we have no funding for food at the reception, nor for paint or other supplies to get the space prepared):
1. The most promising avenue to my mind is to do something in conjunction with the upcoming Zombie Dance. Folks suggested: LED jewelry, a beer tent, and Zombie makeup service. Bow volunteered to check with Neil Fridd with regard to what is already in the works in relation to that event and how we might interface with it and turn a profit.
2. Bow is open to making T-Shirts at cost (thanks in advance for the free labor Bow!) I personally guaranteed a sales volume of 16 at $10 each, thus netting us $80 since cost is $5 per shirt. Who knows? These may prove popular. Particularly if we all start wearing them around campus until we all start to smell bad. Friends and colleagues will be begging us to let them buy us replacement shirts.
3. Helen has once again pledged to auction her mountain bike. An auction remains an option, provided we have stuff to auction.
4. LED jewelry could be sold at CCN at any point during the semester.
5. Pet rocks, perhaps with embedded LED’s, might be all the rage this spring.
6. When it comes to fundraising the sky is the limit, but we must start somewhere. Beer certainly offers us the best profit margin.

Fundraising Ideas
[Continuing from the Post Below]
Please comment here with any fundraising ideas you have. We can discuss it further in one of our meetings.

This Wednesday
This wednesday we will be meeting at Pizza And Brew as Jon Esser stated in his last e-mail. There should be more than enough rides for everyone who doesn't have one. Even if you do drive I would recommend trying to car pool to lessen the amount of cars. If you do not have a ride you could just post a comment below.
-We are going to be discussing advertisements and main designing theme of the show. Please bring in any materials, drawings/sketches, ideas, etc. to talk about. (We will most likely not have access to a computer so keep that in mind).
-We also need to discuss fundraising, as soon as possible! Especially since there won't be much money for food, if any. We need to come up with ideas and we also need to execute them as soon as possible, since its getting very late in the game. I will make a post soon for people to comment to with their ideas so we have a running start for the discussion.
Just on an odd not: I came home this weekend and I have this box of wires. The wires are all bunched up together and it looks insane. I must have been looking for something last week because its like falling out of the box. But when I looked at it I felt like it was a blob of something that I could imagine moving. Like I am waiting for a wire to pop out and use itself to start dragging the rest of the blob across the room kind of like in the remake of The Fly. Maybe its something to think about for the show. Like the use of old wires to make 'life' or a new species.
