Top of the Park: Promoting Grex on July 9th
| 
Jun 22 05:15 UTC 2000 |
This Top of the Park item is more business like. Continuing from items
#29 and #242 in Spring Agora...
Grex is sponsoring the movie on the final night of Top of the Park,
which is July 9, and we have placed an order for refrigerator magnets
to be given out that night. Eric/other has requested copies of the
Grex logo for AASF (Ann Arbor Summer Festival) use: I'm guessing they'll
make a slide to project over the stage.
Please link this item to coop.

It would be nice to see a recap on the pledges & such for helping
with the movie or the promotional items.

We now have around 150 Galaxy Quest buttons to use or hand out
on our movie night. As I said in th spring, they quickly become a
GREX badge when a fridge magnet is applied.

In a year or so, you should be able to get Ricochet modems in Ann Arbor, if
I have anything to say about it. The Detroit Metro area is in the coverage
plans, all the way out to Ypsi of all places. http://www.metricom.com/

Proposed new GREX logo for TOP usage:
The TOP materials will reference cyberspace.org, not grex.org.
Also, I have done my own little clean-up/remanufacture of the
GREX temple logo and it can be found at:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~ebassey/grex2.jpg
The actual file is an 8-bit greyscale tiff file. I didn't have
the original font used for the GREX letters, so I used what I
had. Let me know what you think, as I need to get this in ASAP.

Eric B, do we get to send a representative up to the stage? I seem to
recall some sponsors doing the nightly t-shirt drawing, but I could be
totally off base here. If we do, I'd volunteer to do it.

It is an option to have a representative do the drawing and/or introduce
the band/movie. In our case, it be the movie. Sice another group os
sponsoring the evening, I don't know if we will have the option or if they
will, or both.

Magnet update: The company we are buying the magnets from farms out
the actual manufacturing. Our magnets were supposed to have been shipped
back to Lansing on Friday, June 30. They didn't arrive today; we hope
they will arrive Wednesday.

Well, I'd be happy to introduce the movie or do the drawing, if nobody
else wants to. Do we also get to say a few words about Grex?

I don't think so. I haven't seen anyone else up there talking about a
sponsoring organization other than WEMU being talked about by WEMU staff
promoting other shows and events with which they are connected.
Whatever it is, it is brief and impromptu, so we'll talk about it that evening
before it actually happens.

I picked up the magnet order from Impressive Printing today.
I didn't count them. It's a big heavy box of magnets.
They look pretty decent; thanks to STeve for the design work.
I haven't been able to find Steve Andre', and I'm on a tight schedule
tonight. My plan is to hand the magnets off to other at Top of the Park
around 9 tonight. After that, it's up to other Grexers to hand them
out on Sunday: I will not be there.
If you made a pledge in support of the magnet project, please send in the
money to the treasurer. A few more contributions in the $10-$25 range
would lift the spirits of my wallet considerably.

Mark, there are 2 Eric's who have contributed on this project. Eric B
has been working with the AASF people, and probably doing more work on
this project than I have. All I did was volunteer to help with the
desigon process, and volunteer to help onstage. So far, I haven't
actually done anything. Ken, Steve, and Eric B deserve most of the
credit here.
While cleaning my desk the other day, I discovered a pile of bright
yellow paper, which would probably be very good for flyers. I have
access to a high-speed copier, and could design/copy something if we
thought it would be useful. Let me know by the end of the day Thursday,
I can probably have a design ready for proofing by Friday. I can copy
on Saturday, and have everything ready for Sunday night. Give me
suggestions (was there someone else who volunteered to make flyers?
I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes here, just trying to help)

The box of magnets was handed off to Eric/other at TOP tonight.
I have held back around 200 to be sure contributors get their magnets,
and for other internal/future distributions.

Re #21: Thanks to both Erics! Eric A: I believe Jessica
(llanarth/balynce/etc.) volunteered to make flyers, but I don't know if
she's made any progress. I think you should write to her - your offer is a
really good one.
