[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Noisebridge sponsorship? LoveTech - Moldover CD Release Party

[Moldover]

Hey All,

I just thought I would chime in to address a few of your concerns, and  
suggest some more benefits of sponsoring this LoveTech/Moldover/ 
Pyramind event.

Pyramind is obtaining an event permit from the city.  They have event  
liability insurance and are adding to that liquor liability  
insurance.  Vixen Productions is running the bar and LoveTech is  
organizing and financing the event.  There is no legal danger for  
NoiseBridge that I can see.

We aren't looking for any money from NoiseBridge.  LoveTech is putting  
up all the cash for the event.

Other benefits I see are:

- We can include NoiseBridge in our promotions, getting the  
Noisebridge name and logo in front of the LoveTech community and it's  
extensions.
- As a sponsor we would love for NoiseBridge to participate in the  
actual event.  This could be anything from having a NB literature  
available, to presenting art, or participating in our Digital Jam  
Lounge- whatever we can come up with.  This could be fun for you and  
again, good promotion for NoiseBridge.
- If you ever want to host your own events and include a bar as part  
of that, you should know how to obtain a liquor license.  We have the  
whole process sorted out and would be happy to show you how it works.   
(easy when you know how- just a bunch of paperwork hoops to jump  
through).  Once NoiseBridge has registered with the ABC this first  
time, it becomes much simpler and faster to get liquor licenses in the  
future.  NoiseBridge parties anyone?

I'll be at the NoiseBridge meeting tomorrow evening to address any  
other concerns and hopefully persuade y'all to work with us on this.   
Our art goddess Jean Rintoul, and Promotional Wizard Rich DDT should  
be joining us as well.  Hope to see you tomorrow!

Best,
Moldover
