Ryan H said he would bringing some

Stuff...

Hey,

I've done the Power Point, just need to add photos so i'll meet someone a bit earlier in the morning to do it.

Still can't find a lectern?? Ahhhh....

I was going to go in to the venue twice today but have run out of time so i'll just get their earlier toninght to put up posters etc...Does anyone have blutack they can bring?

Printing and Facebook

Yesterday Ryan and I printed out the schedule and some more posters. We spoke to Kate and she won't be making it tonight but Giselle will be speaking instead. Giselle as it turns out has a facebook account so she will take over managing the facebook ontrac thing after the event. Sorry about not coming to the presentation I'm sure you guys can handle it :-)

With regards to myspace and facebook a few people have joined even today so hopefully this means we will have a good turn out, a few even replied and said they are bringing friends. Joy and Kim once we have some photos and video of the night send them to me and I will put them up.

See you at 5pm

Presentation etc...

Hey,

I've been thinking about the presentation too. I can put together a short power point. We don't get marked on the pressentation and i think David will understand that we had to put it together quickly, being the morning after the event. Do we all just want to speak about what we did for the event and the roles we each played in putting it together and then we can show some photos and maybe discuss what will be included in the final project.

Also Christi wants a lectern for her notes. I've asked E&W and they don't have one. I've also called RMIT but the guy wasn't there and hasn't got back to me. Any ideas on where we could get one at short notice?

Another thing...We have to announce at the start tonight that we will be filming and if anyone has any objections to let us know - because we really need everyone's permission to film (Kate spoke to their PR manager about it and she said to do this). So girls we won't be able to start filming until i announce it when i speak at 7:30pm.

Thanks,
Justine.

about the presentation

I've taken some photos for all the prizes we've got, to attach in the final document, as well as to be showed in the presentation.

are we going to do power point or anything?

joy

Thanks for that Gab.
Btw, we'll need to discuss about how we're planning to present on Thursday morning. Joy and I will be taking some photos on that night so we'll be able to show just the photos on the morning.

An unexpected cost

Hi guys,

Just letting you know that I had to hire a sound technitian. When Gale said that she had everything to cater for stand-up, I was under the impression that she meant EVERYTHING. Anyway Jimeoin needs a sound guy so I hired one through E and W for $185. This is an unavoidable cost. But at least this way we know everything is going to run smoothly and one less thing for us to worry about.

So here are the fixed costs for the night (this is rough cos i'm not 100% sure on figures for the DJ and finger food)

Food $340
Dj $275
Sound $185

Total $800

SO guys that basically means we need at least 80 paying guests to break even. However, hopefully we sell a few raffle tickets at $2 each on the night. Every little bit is going to help.

One other this I made up a survey which I'll email to you. It's pretty brief and straight forward but if you have any suggestions I will take them into consideration before I print them off tomorrow.

Gabby

what email?

Hey,

I'm fine to meet earlier...just sms or call me if we decide to.

Justine

hi Justine, only got your email then, I will get to you asap. gab

Paul, the DJ from E&W said the cost to cover his equipments is $300. On normal occations he charges $100 an hour, but he'll only charge us $50 (on top of the equipment cost) for the whole night, roughly 5 hours. I told him I'll call him again if we decide to go with it.

Gabby, I'll bring the letters I have on my side tomorrow. So, are we meeting at 5pm or earlier?

Kim

I mean, not DJs we know in Melbourne, DJs from Geelong! Gabby did you get my emails with the attachments for the project? Thanks.

Justine.

Hey,

I've emailed a couple of DJs we know in Melbourne. Did the E&W guy discount the price at all?? Thanks for calling Kim. I can go to the venue on Monday before the meeting (anytime after 3:30) but i can't go after.

Justine.

updates 13/10/2007

Gareth didn't reply my email till now, guess he's not that interested in DJ for us, I will send him another email again, hopefully he will reply me soon.

And the DJ friend of mine made a CD for us, but I'm not quite sure if it will go with the event though...=_=

I think we better go there on Monday instead of Tuesday, to check what they have got there, see what else can we do if we couldn't get a DJ.

Kim called the bar asked for the regular DJ, and he will be charging us $350 for the night. Although he already gave us discount for $350, now the number of people attending is still a worry. If we are getting him, we will have to get at least 120 people to come, so that it should be able to cover the food and DJ.

I'm thinking to go after monday's meeting, is everyone fine with that?

Joy

Updates

Joy and Kim you are not allowed to film while Jimeoin is performing. Before and after that is fine just not while he's doing his act.

The DJ guy i know has gigs in Geelong that week so he's out of the picture in terms of a DJ.

Pamela wasn't available to talk when I called this morning so I sent her an email with all the latest details. So hopefully she will get back to me ASAP.

Thanks,
Gab

Facebook

Hi Guys,

This facebook takes time, I mailed everyone who joined, one girl got back already and said yes and would bring along some friends, and one guy said no busy studying at RMIT must be doing business. I even changed my facebook pic from scary Ryan to calm Ryan under the waterfall, don't want to scare people. Hopefully more people sign up.
Enjoy your weekends.

Re: documents for final assignments

We definitely need to start prepare it from this week, i also don't want to leave till last minute. Good job and thank you for doing this, gabby!

For the sponsorship proposal I've sent one to you just now. I can do sponsorship profiles for sponsorship part now, which I'm thinking to include a short introduction of each company. I can also take some photos of the discount vouchers or prizes we've got to attatch on it.

Anymore ideas, guys?

Documents for final assignment

hi guys, i'm compiling all the process documents we've used for our assignment.

Joy and Kim do you want to send through your sponsorship proposal.

I've just done a basic front page, contents page followed by space for our group evaluation and then the process documents. At the moment i've got things like our proposal, letters, the invite and poster. I'll also make a page for our myspace and facebook groups.

Question for you Ryam Hamlet, you know how on Macs you can take a photo of the screen, do you think you can do that for the myspace and facebook so we can provide some visuals in our assignment. Hope you know what i'm on about because i don't even really know.

Also send me any other docs you think might be relevant. Hope you don't mind me doing this. I just had a spare hour so thought it would be a good idea to start getting it ready to hand in. I know next week is going to be soooo hectic I want to get this out of the way.

Thanks guys.

Gab

That's great news Justine. Well done! I wonder if she'll bring Mick :)

Gab

We have an MC!

Hey,

Good news...I recieved an email from Jamielle saying that Christi Malthouse would like to MC the night! Great to have someone else on board. We just need to send her a running sheet etc asap, so we'll discuss this tomorrow. See you all then.

Justine.

MCs etc...

Hey,

At the moment i'm still in touch with Jamielle from Ch.10. She's speaking to Christi Malthouse for me. I spoke to Millsy's manager yesterday as well and she seemed interested but wasn't oo happy with the venue. She said she'd speak to him anyway. Another thing, was the underage issue put on the invites or just the posters?

Justine.

MC update

PR second year student, Gareth Beck has replied me and he's able to do it on the night, so can we decide it on Thursday in the tute? I'd like to let him know what he need to do, and send him the schedule of the event asap (in the weekend perhaps?) Since now we are getting student involve, who I guess might need some more time to prepare than the celebrity MC/radio hosts.

And the other media student is also interested in doing the MC, but he hasn't confirmed with me yet, i will follow up with him before Thursday and let u guys know in the tute.

excuse me everyone but we have two new member on facebook.

Hi

About Mondays, well they changed my roster so we can stick to the Monday meeting, anyway we only have one left. I will bring the menu on Thursday and we can decide on that. I guess we should also decide on our plan of attack for the event.Did Ryan or Gabby keep a couple of posters and invites to show David? I'll see you all on Thursday.

Cheers

Ryan S

Also...

Hey again,

I spoke to Kate earlier and she said she's had a drug company donate hot air balooning for 2 people! Great prize. We really need to sit down and figure out how we're going to distribute the prizes as well - and also Ryan she asked me to remind you to send her a copy of the poster by email.

Justine.

Meeting Time

Hey,

I can't meet tomorrow - have to work all day. Thursday is fine with me tho.

Justine.

Im' fine to meet anytime

sorry, forgot to post back when I posted mine. Yes I'm fine to meet anytime on Tuesday or Thursday. So guess today's meeting is canceled?

JOY

I'm fine with meeting on Tuesday, what about you guys? or do you think its sufficient to meet on thursday?

What do you think guyss?

kim

Hey,

Yep, that all sounds good. Are we meeting at all this week? If not, see you all Thursday.

Justine

MC and DJ back-up

Hi, guys

Justine, good job on getting MC, thanks! Just let you know that we discussed in the tute and David also suggested that we might need to start getting students involved, for MC and DJ, in case we can't get celebrity to involve.


We are all asking around our friends, trying to ask someone is funny and might be a great MC. I'm asking two students I know from PR and media, and I've sent a email to the performing arts department at RMIT yesterday. (Me and kim went there last time, thinking to get some contacts for the MC, like the student mc at the student events(RMIT idol), as well as student to perform as back-up, but in the end we didn't contact the lady who in charge with student performing stuffs, cuz we want to leave some more time for getting the celebrity on board.)

Guess now we might need to start contact them, just as a back-up. Of course if in the end we can get a celebrity on board that would be great. just let you know that we are also contacting someone else as back up.

I'd like to put next Thursday as the deadlind for MC and DJ, is everyone cool with that? We really need to finalise the event preparation a week before the event, so that we can have time draft the MC's script, and the schedule of the night, in order to notify the performer (Jimeoin, MC and DJ) their arriving time.

Please feel free to post back.

Joy

Updates

Hey Guys,

Channel 7 and 9 haven't had much luck with the MCs but Channel 10 is a bit more promising and Jamielle there said she'd have an answer to me by Monday. I'm trying to see how I can get in touch with Chris Lilley, but can't find anything, any ideas? Also, we really need a DJ, i know that the pub has all of those songs but we can't keep looking for the easy way out because the event will suffer if we do. Gabby did you have a chance to speak to the guy from Hildas? A DJ is really important guys, especially seeing all we have at the moment is Jimeoin to keep the night interesting, and he will be great but remember he's only there for half an hour! Well done with the meals at the resturant!

Justine.

Changes

Hi Guys

Joy I put the logo on the poster so it's cool. I mentioned in the last meeting that I might have problems with the Thursday the 18th class due to work. The restaurant I worked at has offered me a second chef position and extra dough (no pun intended). The problem is they want me more, Monday and Thursdays plus my regular shifts. Could we meet at another time instead of Mondays, like any time Tuesday? This Thursday I will come to the tut can we meet there, is there anything we need to really discuss? But Thursday the 18th when we fill out the forms in the tut I won't be there, I think. I will talk to David and if he says I have to be there I will be there, but if not can we fill out the forms beforehand are you guys cool with that?
Should I order 7 platters of food or are we still going with the 10?

Tao's restaurant offered TWO free set meals

Tao's restaurant at Bulleen offered us two free set meals! It is a fusion restaurant, mix of Chinese and Western and a bit of Japanese. They confirmed with me yesterday afternoon.

They are famous of their nice presentation and fusion style dishes. The set menu consists of starters, salad, soup, main, dessert and finishing beverage. It is quite a enjoyable place to go for lunch or dinner.

Ryan, hopefully you put the logo on the poster alreadi.
