[22:03] irpip: hey
[22:03] Pso: hey
[22:05] Pso: whats up man
[22:05] irpip: have you gotten a chance to talk to your dad about how they approached businesses for money for liveright?
[22:06] Pso: no, did u ask me to?
[22:06] Pso: shit man
[22:06] Pso: did i not read more emails?
[22:08] irpip: oh, hmm well i guess it would be good for us to get some ideas
[22:08] irpip: to like
[22:08] irpip: develop a pitch
[22:08] irpip: to start raising some money
[22:08] irpip: because we need a lot of it
[22:08] irpip: haha
[22:08] Pso: alright
[22:08] irpip: like
[22:08] irpip: we can offer businesses
[22:08] Pso: give me a few days
[22:09] irpip: their logo on our flyers, shirts, a spot on our website
[22:09] irpip: we should also think about maybe offering like
[22:09] irpip: different levels of sponsorship too
[22:10] irpip: Level 1 - only gift cards, no additional money... but they don't get put into our advertising, just get their card raffled off
Level 2 - some amount of money ($200? idk) to get put into our advertising in a small way... maybe only small logo.
Level 3 - larger amount of money ($500?) to get a larger logo placed in our advertising.

Something like that. Maybe even lower the amount of money charged for a certain level if they also give us gift cards.
[22:11] irpip: hmm if you need to, outsource to the others on your committee, ideally we wanna start soliciting as soon as possible
[22:11] irpip: we only have like 9 weeks to raise $12k
[22:13] Pso: .........
[22:13] irpip: lol
[22:13] Pso: have u talked to jeff lock?
[22:14] irpip: no, the majority of this money is going to be raised from on-campus sources
[22:14] irpip: this should all be very possible to do
[22:15] Pso: really
[22:15] Pso: please enlighten me as to how
[22:16] irpip: $5k from assu
[22:16] irpip: $5k from gsc
[22:16] irpip: $2k from scn
[22:16] irpip: $500-1k each from aasa, aagsa
[22:16] irpip: plus we can hit up other departments and resources
[22:16] Pso: wow am i uspposed to secure this funding
[22:16] Pso: /
[22:16] Pso: ??
[22:16] irpip: but thats assuming best case scenario
[22:17] irpip: well of course we're all going to be playing a role
[22:17] irpip: i gotta contact the grad student groups
[22:17] irpip: im asking okada for money
[22:17] irpip: i mean assu we wont be able to get started
[22:17] irpip: until school year starts
[22:17] irpip: err i mean
[22:17] irpip: we wont be able to submit
[22:17] irpip: until school year starts
[22:18] irpip: but yea, we should be able to do it
[22:18] Pso: alright
[22:18] Pso: keep me informed
[22:18] Pso: ill talk to my dad
[22:19] irpip: ok, im going to see if alex can develop a sales pitch for us then
[22:20] Pso: alright
[22:24] irpip: hey
[22:25] Pso: yo
[22:25] Pso: my dad
[22:25] Pso: says that raising money is a ridiculous waste of time
[22:25] irpip: ?
[22:25] Pso: its soooo painful
[22:25] Pso: he seems really really really against it
[22:25] irpip: raising money for what
[22:26] irpip: oh
[22:26] irpip: oops
[22:26] irpip: wrongg
[22:26] irpip: person
[22:26] irpip: hahaha
[22:26] irpip: hmm
[22:26] irpip: really?
[22:26] Pso: yeha
[22:26] Pso: hes like its suuuuuuch a pain
[22:26] Pso: i think we need to rely on stanford funding
[22:27] irpip: did he elaborate as to why it was such a pain?
[22:27] Pso: not really
[22:27] Pso: but as soon as i brought it up
[22:27] Pso: he didnt even want to talk about it
[22:27] Pso: just kept saying "dont waste ur time
[22:28] irpip: hmm, but they did get a bunch of sponsors for liveright?
[22:29] Pso: he said yes, but the amount was not really significant
[22:29] irpip: really?
[22:29] irpip: hmm
[22:29] Pso: i just dont want to pester him about it
[22:29] irpip: yea ok
[22:29] Pso: as soon as i brought it up
[22:29] Pso: he just got super irritated
[22:29] Pso: lol
[22:29] irpip: haha
[22:29] irpip: hmm
[22:30] irpip: but i mean i think that we may need to look to fundraise in order to supplement what we dont get from on campus funds
[22:30] irpip: i mean, is it really that awful?
[22:30] irpip: i guess i wouldnt know tho
[22:43] irpip: hmm
[22:54] irpip: dude
[22:54] irpip: if akpsi pledges
[22:54] irpip: can raise like $10k
[22:54] irpip: from businesses and sales
[22:54] irpip: we sure as hell should be able to make a decent amount
[22:54] irpip: and what they did was purely for profit too
[00:00] Pso: dog
[00:00] Pso: i just takjed to my dad about it
[00:01] Pso: and he was a bit less pissed off in genereal
[00:01] Pso: but both he and my mom are strongly opposed to the whole thing
[00:01] Pso: to be honest
[00:01] Pso: they think its too much
[00:01] Pso: my dad
[00:01] Pso: thinks its cheaper and more effective
[00:01] Pso: to partner with one of the big events that already attracts tons of people
[00:01] Pso: and just have a booth there
[00:02] Pso: pip, i dont want to kill ur brain chikld
[00:02] Pso: but 12K is not going to easy tor aise at all
[00:02] Pso: unless we can get an estimate
[00:02] Pso: of the funding we can get
[00:02] Pso: from assu etc
[00:02] Pso: its sort of rediculous
[00:02] Pso: uve got to see it from this point of view
[00:02] irpip: yea, i know
[00:02] irpip: i still think its very possible
[00:02] Pso: this isnt something we can half ass
[00:03] Pso: and u know
[00:03] Pso: as well as i do
[00:03] Pso: how unrealiable lambdas are
[00:03] irpip: lol,
[00:03] irpip: thats the kind of thinking
[00:04] irpip: that never lets us do shit
[00:04] irpip: no faith
[00:04] irpip: in our abilities
[00:04] Pso: pip
[00:04] Pso: u know
[00:04] Pso: if this shit gets off the ground
[00:04] Pso: im in all the way
[00:04] Pso: but if we invite all these people
[00:04] Pso: and work that hard
[00:05] Pso: we need to really really really plan
[00:05] Pso: do we have all the groups
[00:05] irpip: yea, work is already off the ground
[00:05] Pso: syz and kdphi are in
[00:05] irpip: we're negotiating with kaba and soon to be ss
[00:05] irpip: we have a meeting with project michelle
[00:05] irpip: on wednesday
[00:06] Pso: alright
[00:06] irpip: stuff is moving man
[00:08] irpip: 12k is a lofty goal, and it will probably be much more than we need
[00:10] Pso: alright dog
[00:10] Pso: im in
[00:10] irpip: but we gotta overshoot
[00:10] irpip: know what i mean?
[00:10] Pso: but we need to involve everyone
[00:10] Pso: yeah
[00:10] irpip: yeah
[00:11] Pso: we need to get the funding and get the people
[00:11] Pso: fisrt and foremost
[00:11] irpip: yeah
[00:11] Pso: we need an exact budget for that
[00:11] irpip: im working on whittling down
[00:11] irpip: the price
[00:11] irpip: for the performers
[00:11] irpip: kaba starts at $5k
[00:11] irpip: but
[00:12] irpip: theres no way we can pay that
[00:12] irpip: the thing is
[00:12] irpip: those performances that they've been doing
[00:12] irpip: are like
[00:12] irpip: for-profit shit
[00:12] irpip: like clubs and parties
[00:12] irpip: a huge selling point
[00:12] Pso: k
[00:12] irpip: is the philantropy
[00:12] irpip: i think i can get them down to like
[00:12] Pso: then we need to make that happen
[00:12] irpip: $2k total
[00:12] irpip: if not less
[00:13] irpip: the big thing with kaba is the fact that we gotta pay for flights
[00:13] irpip: and possibly hotel too
[00:13] Pso: sigh
[00:13] Pso: the other issue is im afirad people will come, watch and leave
[00:13] Pso: without getting typed
[00:14] irpip: yeah, thats always a concern, but i think most stanford ppl will be reasonable
[00:14] irpip: enough to do so
[00:14] irpip: and thats why
[00:14] irpip: we also have
[00:14] irpip: raffle
[00:14] Pso: which.... cost money
[00:14] irpip: free wii still has a lot of appeal
[00:14] irpip: dude i already have the wii
[00:14] Pso: i know
[00:15] irpip: yeah
[00:15] Pso: but i remember we were talking about maybe adding other things
[00:15] irpip: yeah
[00:15] irpip: i know
[00:15] irpip: we can ask the restaurants and businesses to both donate money and gift cards or something to raffle off
[00:15] irpip: asia also said
[00:15] Pso: thats the other thing
[00:15] irpip: she might be able to get us stuff
[00:15] irpip: to raffle off
[00:15] Pso: my dad said
[00:15] Pso: he said
[00:15] Pso: the AADP should be throwing events
[00:16] Pso: that we should be major parts of
[00:16] Pso: not the other way around
[00:16] Pso: they cant fund us?
[00:17] irpip: hmm
[00:17] irpip: actually not sure at all
[00:17] irpip: we should look into it
[00:17] irpip: if they can help with anything
[00:19] Pso: Jeff wants to help out on making the budget to bring to the assu/sse
[00:19] Pso: he needs to details though
[00:19] Pso: can u give him our approx budget
[00:19] Pso: from what we talked about
[00:19] irpip: its on the spreadsheet
[00:19] Pso: or we can wait
[00:19] Pso: until we know more number for sure
[00:19] irpip: like the roughest estimations
[00:19] irpip: are there
[00:19] Pso: for example kaba
[00:19] Pso: the other issue is
[00:20] Pso: how the hell are we going to bring people out to an event that has never happened before
[00:20] irpip: good publicity
[00:20] irpip: i mean
[00:20] irpip: if we can get
[00:20] irpip: a huge name
[00:20] irpip: like kaba modern
[00:20] irpip: do you really think we're not gonna get people to show up?
[00:21] irpip: its also the reason why
[00:21] irpip: we have so much appropriated
[00:21] irpip: to ads
[00:21] irpip: advertising
[00:21] Pso: i think we need to emphasize the cause
[00:21] Pso: we need to make this thing huge
[00:21] irpip: yeah
[00:21] Pso: we need to make it a bone marrow event
[00:21] Pso: not a kaba /dance event
[00:21] Pso: with a booth
[00:21] irpip: yeah
[00:21] Pso: u know
[00:21] Pso: we need soemone to speak about it
[00:21] Pso: we need a survivor
[00:21] irpip: LOL
[00:21] Pso: like the serisouly concert had
[00:21] Pso: we need yul
[00:21] irpip: yeah
[00:22] Pso: we need an expert from aadp
[00:22] Pso: etc
[00:22] Pso: u know
[00:22] Pso: those are more important
[00:22] irpip: yeah
[00:22] Pso: than the dance groups
[00:22] Pso: we really only need one big name
[00:22] Pso: to bring people
[00:22] Pso: the rest is advertising
[00:22] Pso: and plannign
[00:23] irpip: yes, and i agree to all that
[00:23] irpip: but at the same time, we wanna do the best we can right
[00:24] irpip: if we CAN get huge groups, it would only help the cause
[00:24] irpip: but yea we need to get a survivor
[00:24] irpip: in
[00:24] irpip: we're talking with project michelle
[00:24] irpip: but im afraid
[00:24] Pso: that girl that was there
[00:24] irpip: she might be too sick
[00:24] Pso: at the other event
[00:24] irpip: by the time our event rolls around
[00:24] irpip: yeah
[00:24] irpip: that was very powerful
[00:24] Pso: we cant have aadp get one spkesperson?
[00:25] irpip: we need to ask asia
[00:25] Pso: yeah
[00:25] irpip: yeah
[00:25] irpip: ill get dbao on it
[00:27] irpip: but yea
[00:27] irpip: if we can't get the money
[00:27] irpip: we can always cancel extra groups
[00:28] irpip: sigh
[00:28] irpip: chris from ELS hasnt gotten me an estimate yet
[00:28] irpip: but an update
[00:28] irpip: you remember how he said that labor is so expensive because its a weekend?
[00:28] irpip: we can cut a lot of those costs by moving the day of the event
[00:29] irpip: i've already gone and reserved
[00:29] irpip: friday 10/24 as well
[00:30] irpip: i think we can get our rental costs to like 2k
[00:30] irpip: $22/stage section
[00:30] Pso: we need to make it happen
[00:31] irpip: we need 16 stage sections
[00:31] irpip: i dont have labor estimate
[00:31] irpip: but i think its in the range of 20-30/hr
[00:32] irpip: yea, i mean our main costs right now
[00:32] irpip: are the stage and the performers
[00:33] irpip: we're gonna try to reduce both as much as possible
[00:33] irpip: to something more reasonable
[00:33] irpip: than 5k each
[00:35] Pso: alright
[00:35] Pso: keep me updated
[00:35] Pso: i gotta go to bed
[00:35] irpip: ok
[00:36] irpip: thanks man

[00:36] irpip: project michelle contact?
