Someone could PLEASE put this thread at newgnr n' mygnr?

Yeah, I've got myself and 2 others for certain that would contribute. You're more than welcome to start a thread on it at www.gnrevolution.com as well

[spgunner]

Instead of creating many different threads, let's keep it in just one thread.

This thread at cd.com is only about the ad from the get go so we can spread this link n' make people go there -

http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/forum/index.php/topic,48602.14.html

The fans who are into other foruns (mygnr, newgnr, gnrevolution) can put the links there. It's already a mess to develop this thing in one thread, imagine if we start to talk about it in many!

How many are on board so far?  Thanks for continuing this effort!!

[westcoast_junkie]

I'm in....where do I pay ?

[spgunner]

Westcoast JUnkie, we're still seeing who's gonna be in charge for Paypal. Keep on coming back here coz we gonna decide about that soon!

The deadline to set up an account, book the space, and pay for the ad at the LA Weekly would be Friday, Jan 27th by 4pm.

Then we have till january 30th the deliver the art!

We already have Axl's Favorite Mechanical Bull to ship the newspapers to the fans involved.

Now we only need to finish the art n' find someone to manage the Paypal acount.

There's a new art rolling at cd.com:

It's very cute... i will stat crying

Nice artwork.  I think it would be cool to add a message also congratulating him on his induction into the HOF. 

spgunner - I think you missed some folks who are willing to chip in, and I think you'll get a bunch more once you set up and promote this on the various sites.  I think it would be best to start with a minimum amount that everyone must contribute to get their names included in the advertisment.  Then, if we don't get to the goal, we can figure out how to split the difference.  But if we ask for $20 per person which gets them their name in print on the advertisement, I'd guess we can get at least 50 people to do this.  Thats $1000 and gets us half a page.  I think we'll see a lot more people get involved once an account is set up, but we need to set a minimum amount.  Think $20 works?

First sorry for my bad English.
But if some of the fans have more money now they can help to others, that don't have now money and they can put their names in the ad free

Hi there!

You?re right ? that?s the main goal now: a fan Who can manage a Paypal account. Once we start putting money there, more people will get involved.

We need to decide for how much we gonna charge the fans:

At the old ad, the more you pay, the more you can write ? but it needs time, we don?t have it. So what I thought is what you?ve said ? U$ 20.00 per fan ? one big message n? the names of who?s into it.

But from this U$ 20.00, U$ 7.00 will be for shipping costs due to send the newspaper to the fan who?s paying. So we would work on a badget of U$ 13.00 per fan. To achieve 2.900,00 we would need around 220 fans.

We need someone that everybody can trust n? that lives in the US (better if located at the LA area) to handle Paypal ? once we find this person, I think this will have a snowball effect n? will grow!

[spgunner]

Who's into putting an extra congratulations for the RNRHOF?

[spgunner]

So far:

ART:
- Axsalute's Art with a few changes, maybe among them putting a congrats on the RNRHOF  - (art can be seen at cd.com)

Paypal:
- We need a person to handle the Paypal acount in the US

Money:
- US residents - U$13.00 for the ad plus U$4.50 for shipping of the LA Weekly = U$ 17.50
- Non US residents - U$ 13.00 for the ad plus U$ 7.00 for shipping of the LA Weekly = U$ 20.00

Shipping of LA Weekly copies:
- Axl's Mechanical Bull says he takes care of it.

We have more or less 30 people on it already - if we start the Paypal payments with the Art ready, more people will get inside.

[spgunner]

here's the new art - let's try to finish this thing till the end of the weekend n' start collecting money.

Matt - are you able to start collecting money?

Axl's Favorite Mechanical Bull - Are you going to send the LA Weekly's by mail?



Let's finish the subject of the amount of money per fan - I think it's fair like this:

US Residents + Canada - U$ 18.00 - U$ 13.00 for the ad + U$ 5.00 for shipping costs
Non US Residents - U$ 20.00 - U$ 13.00 for the ad + U$ 7.00 for shipping costs

Waiting on news from you guys !

In case there's some bucks missing at the very last days we might put some more just to finish it. If it doesn't happen for any reason, Matt sends the money back to the fans.

umm i dont have paypal and im not getting one soon

i?m minor and i dont have time to get into getting a paypal these next couple months

[Lord Stan]

I was thinking of emailing to some local papers if their culture section is aware of the big day

You could, of course, argue that they must be but who knows.

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Who is Matt?

[westcoast_junkie]

so, I am dumb....but where do we pay? Links anyone?

[Verasa]

I would like to contribute some money to this as well if anyone has any info on that. Did anyone set up a paypal account for this yet?
