Ok y'all Fiasco is booked at the moment, unless something happens, they should be down. I just wanted to post jobs etc. to make sure it happens and we can all avoid more stress than needed.

Gabe books Fiasco
Leanne books Animandible and DJ
Cece makes awesome flyer
Sarah gets PA and books venue
Ingrid works her ass off in order to make sure its a packed house!

I was thinking we should come up with a way to advertise for out events and for misled youths various other projects in a way where word gets out more efficiently. I really think we can start taping every resource we each have. Putting things on event pages and making sure our stuff is on emails like Jeff Starks Nonsense NYC emails. Word of mouth works, but it doesn't fill a house.

Also we want this to be kinda of like thanks giving how bout something on Saturday that will really grab people attention. Some type of learning thing or something were we can all give. Actually an idea just came to mind- i know cece has been wanting too, as have I. What better way to celebrate a day of giving then having a Really Really Free Market? We have just got all this money and we will be making more it could be a whole lunch thing too! It could be at 123.

What do you all think? Too much? I think we really to start bringing events followed by constructive shit. It would be unique, not a lot of show organizers do it like that, it could be really fun. We have done it in the past, and i think we could do it now.

Peace love and all the above,
G

REALLY REALLY FREE MARKET!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE my house is overflowing with stuff i need to give away and it would be awesome.
Also about the flyer, I'm putting the date, the time, the bands, the venue and how to get there on it.
I need two things from you guys, which bands we know are playing, and what time and date we're having it on.

info etc

I was thinking we say doors open around 6:30? its on Nov 30 and i dont know how much we shold ask for probably the same as always 5 dollars. I was thinking but tell me it sounds stupid. On the flyer its like 5 dollars until 8 then after it costs 7? idk if that would make more or less people come. Its at Micheline's, look it up for address and directions, oh an d call sarah to double check that or get Joes # from Leanne. Call Leanne about Animandible! Oh and sorry i dont know how to spell funk i knew it looked weird. Too much studying i guess....

About info on Misled I think sarah probably has the txt that could go on back. ANd and if we do decide on really really free market, put that on too.

OK let me know how all is going!

doors open at seven?

I don't have enough room to write 6:30 it's not too cramped, it just doesn't work. I also don't have enough room for that five or seven thing and we don't need to do that I don't think, last time we made a lot of money without raising the price. how about we do a five to ten suggested donation? uh... also if we open at seven when do we want the bands to start playing?
Also we need to talk about the really really free market in terms of where when and all that jazz, I guess we're meeting on thursday right? we'll talk extra then.

love peace and hairgrease (I saw how gabe snatched that and made it his own)

hey guys

hey everyone

this is looking good and coming along well, i just booked Michellines for the 30th at 7pm. The guy Dimitri wanted 1/3 of the door and i checked w/cc and we thought it was ok. Closer to the date i'll help get all the equipment we need. Also i can make copies of the flyers. And i can post some 'about misled youth" text if ya need it for the flyer.

about the really free market, i'm a little unclear as to what we are doing with that? gabe?

xoxo

free market and other

I mean its really whatever you want it to be. Im willing to make it happen or try to. It would be at 123 on Saturday afternoon i guess. Im not so sure how many people would be willing to come back to Brooklyn however. It might just be a better idea to move it a week later. If you guys think it is worth it, then lets do it, but if it should be in December, let it be then, no big rush. Also, i emailed Jeff Stark about him posting our events. So if he gives us the ok, ill put down the open studio time, the spoken word workshops and the show. Anything we are missing. Oh maybe weekly meetings? Tell me whats up.

peace love and all the above!

Really really free market

we could have it somewhere that's not the space also, I can check around other spaces and churches etc if you guys want to. the earlier in the day it is the better for me you know? Anyway, I have to fix up the flyer one more time, they'll be good to go by thursday at the latest.

Also on a slightly unrelated note, I emailed the sol.illaquists of sound, they're this really sweet group who makes awesome awesome music but they're opening a kids art center in florida which is almost the same as what we're doing so I emailed them to see if they wanted to talk or visit or anything, so hopefully we'll hear from them cause they're rockin awesome.

wowowoweeeee

Alright, I haven't booked Animandible and I will get to that right now...............ok, I just e-mailed them on myspace. I completely forgot how we got in touch with them the first time, was it through joe?
Anyway, I didnt know that we booked Michelines that fast. I will get Dooga to Dj, again, transportation will be a bitch but I can front the cab, or we can just talk about that later.
I'm already telling people about this show but let's get the flyer as soon as possible. I'm going to be swarmed with work for the next few days on top of the PIY workshop at the Renaissance, which I think we all have to talk about. Some good news came up after the first day.

GOAL: At least 10 people per Misled Youth Member. Yeah??!! YEEEAAAH!
REMINDER: Facebook confirmations don't mean shit!

GABE THE WONDER: Please e-mail me your new number or txt me.

hearts and XOs

ps. I don't understand the Really Really Free Market idea and I'm afraid to put more events on our plate.

BIG FUCKING ISSUE

OH SHIT, go figure something wrong has to happen, at least it isn't last minute, but sadly all the flyers have been made and wrong info has been sent out to all major posting sites and promoting etc. Fiasco has just cancelled on us. Jonathan is out of town, and unless they have someone else who can play with them for a night, we need a new band. I can ask then about it, but i dont think thay can do two people playing. Oh i got it, they have another band which happens to be the two kids that are still in town under the name sonar and its weird techno shit. I want to keep those kids or keep one of the bands in that loop so there all little network of friends will still come. Tell me what you think. Ill email them about sonar. THis blows. Hope no one is too pissed about coming to see fiasco and gets someone else.
PEace love and sadly all the above!

mix up

sorry this came up...we can book 1 or two other bands as replacements and we'll be ok. It happens. I would say if in doubt, ask joe about some bands

as i mentioned in the notes from yesterday, i forgot to bring home a copy of the flyer to scan and make a digital version. If someone can either scan one or get a paper flyer to me (i'll be at 123 tommorow) we can get a digital version out soon.

guidelines for friday

i talked to joe about michelines the owner and general rules and regulations.
First off michelines basement can hold up to about 100 people, which is good should be enough for the whole night. I talked to him about drinks etc. Everything goes in the basement, you can do whatever, drink smoke, its all good. All drinks must be concealed upon entering and we need at least 2 people at the door probably 3. NO ONE CAN BE OUTSIDE. That is the one overall rule, it that works nothing can go wrong. The street/sidewalk must be clear at all times. Those are the basic rules. We dont want shit from the owner, this is a real venue, we need to respect Micheline's as do all the people coming. There is an upstairs which people can chill, just no underage drinking, and there is a backyard which people will want to be outside in, but it has to stay pretty quiet.

Im a little nervous about PA. I really want to make sure its there by 7PM and that there is something plugged in until Dooga arrives. We need someone who knows how to set it up. Ill talk to Lucien about it, maybe he could help. Other that that this show is gonna be off the wall!!!!!! Im so excited and i know everything will come together. We just all have to be helping the whole night!
peace love and all the above
