<div>Hey All,</div><div><br></div><div>� We're having a Noisefund BetaRaiser this March, the 30th. �Send me back a confirmation if you're still able/interested in partaking; we love you all and your enthusiasm.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Musically, the potential idea is:</div><div><br></div><div>Dubious Ranger, Dwayne's Band (not sure of their name), Carl & Beatrice, Noisejam Orchestra. �This'll be very cool as it puts the emphasis on homemade instruments. �If all the bands are cool with it, I believe it would be excellent to allow Noisejam people to jam along (they're people who've built their own kooky instruments at Noisebridge).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Outside of music, the more concrete ideas are:</div><div><br></div><div>Tony will man a table for ZiP zine. �Mitch Altman will demo cool circuit hacking. �Someone will step-up to man a table for a silent art auction. �Persons unknown will help with a pleasant setup and teardown, which will cause minimal chaos. �Someone will step up to help provide food for the event which can be enjoyed by all. �It seems byob is the concept of the day, which will hopefully avoid the need for a liquor license (correct me on this). �Like everything else, the event will be done by optional donation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Big questions we currently face:</div><div><br></div><div>How long should this be? �Perhaps 6 or 7pm - 11pm, with music from 8:30pm - 10:30pm.</div><div>Could someone teach the vinyl cutter and laser cutter, or perhaps the maker bots? �It would be awesome to let people sign up as small groups to check these things out in 15 or 20min rotations. �Share your thoughts!</div>
<div><br></div><div>This is what is rolling around my head at the moment. �Let's hack away on it,</div><div>James</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 11:14 AM, James Sundquist <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sundquistjames@gmail.com" target="_blank">sundquistjames@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><div>Date is tentative for sometime around April. �Do we want to do March 29th, a Friday, for the fundraiser or April 26th, a Friday? �My personal opinion is to get quieter bands with homemade instruments into the space. �So far we can basically confirm March 29th for Dubious Ranger, Dwayne's Band, Carl & Beatrice; this puts the emphasis on homemade instruments, avoids using an outside venue, and keeps things at Noisebridge. �I also suggest reaching out to Vegan Hackers, 5moF, Noise Jam, and any other groups that represent highlights of the space. �We should have foot, art, music, the whole deal.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Re-Cap:</div><div>DanF has multiple paintings ready to auction.</div><div>James has six bands ready to play March 29th or 30th. �2 loud punk groups, 2 not-very-loud bands with homemade instruments, 2 acoustic bands.</div>
<div>Someone should reach out to Noisejam (done), Vegan Hackers, 5moF, Circuit Hacking Mondays (done), and any other group you think would be cool.</div><div><br></div><div>I've CC'ed Stan the Organizer, band members, Mitch @ Circuit Hacking Mondays, Johny @ Noise Jam</div>
<div>This e-mail references the wiki (Art) section for the event planning, previous discussion threads in February, and was mentioned at the Noisebridge meeting (but no one wrote it down). �Do *not* e-mail me personally; let's keep this on discuss where it belongs.</div>
