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.
