Hey,
That's good that he choose that date Gabby cos i got an email from Eammon at the venue today and he said he would rather the 17th and has penciled it in for us. I asked for a quote and he wants the letters and proposal first before they can decide how much they can donate, fair enough. Just working on the press release now, then going to take it to my pr writing tutor to go through it with her. How did we go with the letter from David?? Still waiting to hear back from Kate. Mint Bar sounds good, but i think we should keep Scooter as our first preference for now.

Good job, guys!
Wawoo.. seems we got the comedian and venue both one the hand! You girls are great!
Umm.. just one question about our venue, I'm kinda confused now, are we deciding between Alley bar and red scooters? Or we actually decided already? The owner of the mint bar also replied me and saying that they are happy to provide the venue. Here are more information about the mint bar I found online.
The Mint
STYLE : Bar, Function Venue, Pub, Restaurant
ADDRESS : Cnr La Trobe and Williams Streets, Melbourne CBD
TELEPHONE : (03) 9602 5622
As part of the old Royal Mint grounds, The Mint already has an interesting history behind it. The history to come seems even more vibrant as the mint grows as an inner city icon.
Summer or winter, inside or outside, by the fire or out in the sun, the Mint has a uniquely Melbourne feel and is a function venue for all occasions. With one of the biggest beer gardens in the Melbourne CBD, The Mint is perfect for clear skies out in the sun and, during winter, a beautiful and warm interior decorated with lavish timber flooring, furniture and d飯r is cosy and intimate.
Cocktail parties, sit down dinners and anything and everything else is possible at The Mint. A large and diverse menu that caters for any type of function is complemented by a great drinks list that will be served to you by experienced, talented and friendly bar staff.
This venue attractes me its both outdoor and indoor space. They have nice grass area outdoor, where could set up our little stage if it's sunny. Anyway, just give us a selection of the venue.

Gabby and I are just in the process of putting together a marketing proposal for the venue and i'm writing up a press release to go with it. I've emailed Kate to check if we need further approval to do this and i've also asked her for a letter confirming the credibility of the event, because Eammon at the venue wanted one from Peter Mac and from RMIT, so we'll need to get one from David also. I've sent an email to eammon as well just thanking him for today and asking him for a quote for food etc, pretyy much just saying what sort of costs will we be up for? I'm pretty sure they're happy to cover most things tho if we get the media on board. I spoke to a friend from uni today who works at a great PR firm. He has lots of contacts and is really motivated to help us out, he thought it was an amazing concept and had excellent ideas. I'm going to be in touch with him a lot - he also knows Ryan Shelton and Rebel Wilson (comedians from Thank God You're Here and Rove) and he's going to ask them. Also he wants to ask Jules Lund (but i think Jules is really busy at the moment with all the TV shows etc) but Ryan and Rebel would be awesome MCs. I'mcalling Hamish and Any's manager tomorrow to see what's going on there and my brother is going to follow up and call Rama's manager to see what he thought of the proposal and if he's interested or not - otherwise we'll go to Jason Macartney. Whoo long blog!! I'm working in the morning but will be in touch tomorrow afternoon.

Meeting Monday
I don't think the invites can be finalised until we talk about this as a group on Monday. I booked Jimeoin for either Tues 8th or Wed 17th so I think we should work around that. Something about Jimeoin performing will need to be added to the invites and posters.
See you in the meeting Monday at five

Concerning Dates
I have finalized the design for invite,poster and will update MySpace and Facebook. What I still need is dates, location and logos. Ryan spoke to me about Red Scooter, sounds good, how much detail do you have about cost for catering and drinks? Can you guarantee Red Scooter the PR they require? How much more time do we need before I can send everything to Kate? Joy, Kim and I spoke to David and he is pleased. David mentioned if we require more time with a valid reason he would give us an extra week.
