Thread Head Event????

[MamaSasss]

Hey all,

So ladyjanewriter and I got to meet yesterday and it was simply lovely to meet another Thread Head in person!

So, I want to throw this out there...I know we all live in different places, some of you across the ocean and all, but that doesn't mean it's not possible for us all to organize some event where we could all meet and play. I mean, if Lord of the Rings fans can do it why not us?! :p

Here are my questions to get the ball rolling:

1. Where would be a good place for everyone to meet? Maybe NYC since that's where the show is based?

2. When? Next year? Summer perhaps?

3. What could we do activity wise? Classes? Workshops? Tours? Take in a show?

Please throw out your thoughts, suggestions, concerns and the like.

For a group of DIYers this should be easy to figure out. :D

*M*

[sewittogether]

Hmm , if we did NYC rob , corrine , and some of threadbanger staff could possibly join us.
alothough some people may consider it a little unsafe , like people joining the forums just to go to the party??

[Plasma]

That would totally be awesome.

We would have to get at least the main people of the forums there.

Like DBXP
and ladyjanewriter
and jelfish
and pinoyblaze
and you mammasasss
and coffee
and others.

[sewittogether]

and me
and plasma
and ryanmore
Lol

but i guess we could all bring stuff we made... and party lol

[Jelfish]

Ooh NYC is rather convenient for me. I like this idea :)

[MamaSasss]

Ok, this is good so far.

How about ideas for activities?

I could brush up on my crochet techniques and offer a workshop in that.

Are there classes/workshops that anyone else would be interested in? We could take a poll and try to organize a schedule based off that.

[sewittogether]

We could go raid goodwill and dollar stores and fabric stores.
or we could do a sort of project-runway thing
but we could help eachother
and there wouldnt be models and we wouldnt have to finish.
NYC is convienient for me.
Omg! We could do it at etsy labs if they let us...

[MamaSasss]

Omg! We could do it at etsy labs if they let us...


Etsy! I kinda just peed a little out of excitement. Not gonna lie.

[ladyjanewriter]

Whoa...! I'm dizzy just reading this...

Man, I don't know. My mom would totally love if I go back east, b/c my hometown is a comfortable day's road trip to NYC.

[sewittogether]

Lol. awesome.

[ryanmoore]

wel this is an awesome idea
but my only problem would be NYC
grrrr
i live in virginia
all the way at the bottom
so thats my only issue
but i think we could figure someting out
i know someone who lives in nyc
maybe i could call her???
-------------------------------
anyways
i could do stuff on
i dont know
im not really good at one thing
just a litlte good at um all


it would be awesome
if there was a project runway thing
like someone said
and it was a contest
to see who could make the coolest stuff



ill check back later for updates!!!!!

awesome idea
MamaSass

[ryanmoore]

ooh i thought of something else

we could throw a show
like people come in
and we show them how to redo clothes
and it could be like a live audience!!
that would be awesome

[ryanmoore]

sorrry i thought of something else no one has said that
WE MUST HAVE


A FASHION SHOW
WITH PEOPLE MODELLING THEIR OWN CLOTHES
( THAT THEY MADE)

[sewittogether]

OoOoOoOoO
thats a good idea , like an etsy labs class

[goofipinay]

haha I'm in VA too, but no car or anything
technically not that far (7 hrs driving..? from the 757)


some people could sell their stuff.. haha
it could work with the show, like afterwards, there could be like.. an auction or whatever for them to buy whatever you showed them what to make


oh! you know what..
foundmyfrisbee could go.. and make a few of his shirts
and have a raffle for em.. since he can't mass produce them

[sewittogether]

yea. I want to make the name tags!!! ( that have your forum name and then real name )

[ryanmoore]

where are you at in VA???

[goofipinay]

in the 757!
south eastern VA right by VA Beach and Norfolk and all

[MamaSasss]

Wow, we're getting some awesome ideas!

Since a couple people so far have mentioned the Project Runway thing I would suggest that that be something we'd take submissions for. Anyone interested in participating could submit ideas and we'd (dunno who would make the decisions yet) choose maybe five or six people to be in the show. They could build their clothes, present them, choose their own models (or be their own models) and then explain the inspiration and such behind their ideas.

Then we could also have a separate fashion show/tutorial. What do ya'll think about that?

Also keep in mind guys that if we actually decide to pull this off and are able to do so it wouldn't be until next year most likely. You'll have time to save up and figure out to get...wherever it is we're going to host it. :)

of course it would have to be next summer
because it would take that lnog to plan
i love the project runway idea
and the fashion show
i think it could be like a real fashion show
where people pay to come in and see the clothes
i wonder if we could make that happen?

[goofipinay]

wow i sound like a stalker
but where?

im in VA beach

haha sweet, you're in Filipino Land! xD
Chesapeake; where Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Portsmouth kinda meet

[ryanmoore]

haha sweet, you're in Filipino Land! xD
Chesapeake; where Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Portsmouth kinda meet
duh im in filipino land!!!!!
ALL of them work at the STIHL plant
i know lots of filipinos here !!!!
wow i didnt know anyone on here
who was so close

i might meet another threadhead
woot !!

well, if it was to be in NY (city), then most likely, it could happen
I mean, if we could find a place to have it at, and advertise x)
people would definitely come.. it IS where a buncha agencies are
besides, people love fashion shows xD

[Create and Destroy]

sweet...Corrine and I have definitely been talking about a party since we started this whole thing. We'd totally have to have it in the NYC and rent out a space. Corinne suggested To set up a sawp-o-rama-rama there and I think we should totally get some punk bands. Maybe have a whole day thing with tutorials and then we can all film a show together where the ThreadHeads take on New York. I think the bigger this forum gets the more of a reality it becomes....summers in NY suck, I'd suggest next spring.
-Rob

[sewittogether]

I think we could do it at etsy labs.

[pinoyblaze]

O_o the east coast once again seems so far away from the west coast. LOL XP

[Create and Destroy]

BTW forum member wise , we just grew by an 1/8th (about 12 percent) in the last 5 days. thats crazy to me !

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

we really should get some bands there, ameuters and everthing and have kinda like battle of the bands

[sewittogether]

my brother has a band! And his friends cousin has a band!
Too bad we probrally wont be able to get MCR to play.. lots of people on the forum love them.

[MamaSasss]

Thanks Rob!
Glad to hear you and Corinne have been tossing around the idea, too.

Any advice on how we can do this? Like where could we get the money and such? Should I just get on winning the lottery? I should. Shouldn't I?

[goofipinay]

we really should get some bands there, ameuters and everthing and have kinda like battle of the bands

battle of the bands..
that reminded me of my weekend (7DC)
a lotta breakers seem to have DIY shirts (I've noticed)
I didn't wanna ask em cause they seemed...superior.. haha (famous in the bboy world)

[sewittogether]

hmmm fundraiser? i mean , we are DIY people . What cant we do?
We can all make some stuff , open one etsy account ( that maybe we can all have acsess to ) and make some really neat stuff!! We do have about a year or so...

it might seem kinda.. out there
but maybe we could get sponsors.. ? x)

[sewittogether]

Like....
it would be something DIY related.
Or we could all just open up etsy accounts.

[Jelfish]

BTW forum member wise , we just grew by an 1/8th (about 12 percent) in the last 5 days. thats crazy to me !
Ooh statistics

At 806 members for approximately 70 days of the forum's existence, you average about 11 new users per day.

A 12 percent increase resulting in 806 members would mean an increase of 86 members in those 5 days, or about 17 members a day.

So your rate of new members in those 5 days is about 150% the running average from the existence of this forum. Impressive indeed!

[sewittogether]

Yea! a barley understood. but yeah!

[sewittogether]

But what about saftey issues?

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

if somebody could put up posters then alot of bands would want to compete but you would have to do that when you have a sure date and location

[sewittogether]

But What About Saftey Issues!?!?!?

[Miss_Gagarin]

NY is fine with me, it's a 6-hours drive south, as long as I don't have major exams (school semester next summer too).

And Sewit, what kind of safety issues are you concerned with? You're right that this is something that has to be considered...

[Coffee]

Well, are we talking general liability issues, or personal safety issues?

[sewittogether]

more like , people joining the fourms just to go the party sort of thing.

[ladyjanewriter]

Oh. Avoiding Creeps? Hmm.

[sewittogether]

Yesh.

[ladyjanewriter]

Goooooooood point! I have no clue how to handle this.

Maybe a sign-in list...?

[pinoyblaze]

sign up forms usually do the trick. Or even RSVP :P

[Coffee]

Personal safety issues, then.

Well, all your standard internet personal safety protocols apply.

What I would say would be... If it's a public event which is being used for the thread head meet, then it's just a matter of recognizing each other.

If it's an event being organisised by and for the thread head meet, you'd want to use a registration system, and keep as much information as possible out of the public domain. Private messaging and email trading, etc, could be used, and you could even go so far as to use an e-ticketing system for "entry."

But I do think you're worrying excessively; nobody would even be lurking on the forum unless they had at least some interest in the subject; and even at 700 members, this site is very small.

So basically, use some common sense, don't give out personal details, and don't meet in private.

[guess who]

i live in Fl. i can't make it that far yet. lets say NC.

[MamaSasss]

As far as safety issues go, I was originally thinking this would be a registration type of event. Like a conference. In order to book a venue and bands, make schedules and whatnot we'd have to know how many people are actually going to be there. So, one step at a time, kids. :)

And this is the part where my brain stops. Keep coming up with ideas for what we can do!

So far we have:
- Fashion show
- Classes
- Bands/overall party
- Maybe visit Etsy labs
- Goodwill road trip

What else????????

Selling stuff after the fashion show
Auction, maybe
or a Raffle for some awesome work

[MamaSasss]

I can't remember who said it, but I would love to see foundmyfresbie's shirts on sale at this thing. Anyone else think they might want to have a booth or table? Any nominations???

[sewittogether]

hmm i would figure out how to make something and have a booth! Someone may have to help me though.

[miss.green.tea]

as pinoy said, the west coast just seems so far away right now...

aw poo i probably won't be able to make it cos 1. its faaaar and 2. me parents will never take me xD

BUT I WILL CONTRIBUTE SOMEHOW!!!! lessee who do i know in NY....

O HAY ANOTHER IDEA you guys should have a theme like.... like... i dunno, plaid or something (but better lol... *cannot make up themes*)
i mean, bring a bunch of other stuff, but be dressed as the theme (using your magical DIY powers ofcourse)

[sewittogether]

good ideas , all. we should have a rule : everything in the room must be diy!! We must DIY food , we can only wear DIY , the tables must be DIY the advertisements the raffles the raffle tickets the chairs!!! ( okay maybe not the table and chairs ) but you get the point..

[DBXP]

Like DBXP


I would love to go but theres no way I could go :(

I live in the south (Texas) so me heading up to NYC is highly unlikely.

But I'd love to go to it none the less. And who knows, maybe I could go! Considering I'm hoping on getting a job at Lowes or Home Depot. so thats 12 $/hr and one week I may top out at 200-250 dollars so who knows really?

[ryanmoore]

i think i would want to have a booth
i think
i dont have to many specialty items
just alot of reandom cool stuff

i wonder how i could get there?????

[DBXP]

I know for a fact I'd record probably the whole thing on video and post it up on YouTube :P

[pinoyblaze]

I know for a fact I'd record probably the whole thing on video and post it up on YouTube :P

how about....live video feeds? lol So that we can experience the awesomeness known as the Threadbanger celebration?

[DBXP]

I would do that...

(but I don't know how :D)

Same Problem here

there's just too many of us westerners not to join in on the fun
We should have our own west coast branch of the threadhead event
like the green aid concerts
celebrate simultaneously around the world?


or we could just send in our best stuff to be displayed or sold
or put into the fashion show

[sewittogether]

Oh i know! We could use video...
people who have webcams on their labtops can bring their laptop...
and we will have people on their , so even if they cant be there, they will see it over video
Just a thought.
oh and people could voulunteer to carry the laptop around. And meet people.

[MamaSasss]

Since some of you don't think you'll be able to be there, here are two options...

1. We think of a place more in the middle of the country to gather,

OR...

2. One of the activities could be a viewing of videos from all of you who can't make it and you can give your own tutorials.

Thoughts?

(I love the live feed idea...if someone can figure it out and get the $$$.)

i have a webcam on my computer

so if someone had the same instant messager or whatever
i could probably set that up
and its already on my computer
its not like one you plug in

i think nyc would be the best
for now

[Grey Squirrel]

Well, seeing as I am in Canada....seems doubtful...though sounds like great fun!

NYC is great, have gone a couple times, but I also remember that the hotels right dwntown were CRAZY expensive. If somehow I did manage to drive down, I think I would have to sleep in my car after paying for the gas! haha. Though New York is fun. I can be in New York STATE in about 1 1/2 hours, but NYC is way more, about 9 1/2 hour drive

Should try to run it like a convention, charge small admission fee to the general public to cover costs of a hall rental (for the tables, fashion show etc..)

(As for trying to figure out for locations we need that feature I have seen on other forums where there is a map and all the users add their home location, so when you look at the map you can see where everyone is from. I think perhaps google makes such a feature ??? Then can see where most people are from. )

And who knows, if it is way into next year I may be really rich by then, and can take my private plane!

[crazydaiz]

2. One of the activities could be a viewing of videos from all of you who can't make it and you can give your own tutorials.




I like that idea.
and NYC sounds like a solid place to have it

even if i can't be there:(

I guess we can have a part deux event back here at a later time
or have a booth at some larger event
whatever works

[miss.green.tea]

aight i can send someone a vid~~~

soooooooo.... lets just keep up this thread and when we get around to bigger and better things with the whole idea, people can start sending stuff in~~~

[sewittogether]

yah. vids are nice. people who have webcams are nicer.

[WonderlandAlli]

That would be sweet, though it would have to be planned well in advance. I'm clear across the continent from NYC!! Some of us would need plane tickets!

[korupt_trash]

This would be awesome. I just started here almost a week ago and i've been wanting to have some sort of get together. you guys always seem so nice to one another. Meeting Rob and Corinne would be awesome. But if they made a show out of that theres no way they could fit everything into 5-6 minutes. I would definatley be up for this party wherever it may be.

[ryanmoore]

we need to keep this thread up!!!

[sewittogether]

yah!! So still, i like NYC.

[MamaSasss]

I wrote to Corinne about this.

We're talking.

That's all I can say right now.

Don't go gettin' them hopes up just yet, kids.

[sewittogether]

Awwww. tell us tell us!!! Share the Luv!!!!

[Plasma]

This is amazing! I'm getting pumped up for this thing!!!

Time for me to make a video about threadbanger!

[MamaSasss]

Awwww. tell us tell us!!! Share the Luv!!!!

Patience. *patting sewittogether's hand*

I will share more when I actually have more to share. :rolleyes:

[ryanmoore]

Patience. *patting sewittogether's hand*

I will share more when I actually have more to share. :rolleyes:

i want to know too!!!

[Neff]

Just noticed this and did a quick scan. Few things..

1) I would love to go back to NYC. I miss the east coast... :(
2) I would suggest making it at least 18+ for an age limit. That way no one is liable for "exposing minors to danger" and such.
3) I am so going to drink someone under the table!
4) Hotels in NYC aren't as bad as people think. I have usually found th best deals in areas like Murray Hill (but I <3 Washington Sq. Park)
5) to the people worried about randoms showing up.. it is not that big of a deal. I have been to many a forum meet before. The easiest way to take care of things like that is:
a) Have some members meet before hand, that way there are some people you are familiar with
b) Sign up sheet. Not on the sheet (with your real name) then you are not getting in


To the VA people.. Don't cheap out. Just take the train up to the NYC.

But What About Saftey Issues!?!?!?

Duh! You take care of them with the Safety Dance!

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

I would suggest making it at least 18+ for an age limit. That way no one is liable for "exposing minors to danger" and such.

wait thats not fair half the people on here are underage and alot of the people contrubuting are underage, sewittogether, dxbp (sorry if i spelled it wrong lol) so it wouldnt really be a gathering becuase half the people would be not allowed to come

[Neff]

I realize it would suck, but should (<insert deity here> forbid) anything happen to anyone under 18 (be it an injury, they get alcohol, they do anything they shouldn't), they people over the age of 18 could (and probably would) be held liable and could be sued.

It is nothing personal, but I have known people to be screwed over by a parent who did not like the fact that their child was going to a meet. If people under the legal age were there, I would then suggest that the lawyers for next new media would draft some sort of indemnity agreement that the minor's parents would have to sign.

[sewittogether]

Yesh!!!
What about me!!!
My closet is diy
DIY has no age!!!!!
As long as there's no alchohol there , and we have to sign in!!!!!
:( :( :(

I'm so mature people think i'm eighteen. ;)
although i am short.


But i love to DIY!!!
I mean , people in my school go like this
your clothes look so ugly you look like you shop at the salvation army
and i'm like
I know arent i so great? Always wash before wearing.
( whispers)
Burn.
Random.

[sewittogether]

aww. Man. what if our parents came? And if it was held at etsy , i have always wanted to go there. PS i tried champagne once , thinking it was sprite. It tasted disgusting!!!!! So , i wont be drinking anytime soon.

[sewittogether]

and it wouldn't be violent or anything. a nice little club gathering


( althought depending how many people come , it may get a little clausterphobic)

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

^^ ok then why would you have to bring alcohol, its a convention not a club, teenagers go to conventions all the time like otakon(anime convention) and you dont see people getting sued there. make them sign a release form then when you enter you take full responiblitys for your action, no one else is liable for your actions execpt your onself

[sewittogether]

yah. what he said.

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

^^ Ima DUDE!!!!!!!!!! lol

[sewittogether]

lol. Sorries.

[Miss_Gagarin]

wait thats not fair half the people on here are underage and alot of the people contrubuting are underage, sewittogether, dxbp (sorry if i spelled it wrong lol) so it wouldnt really be a gathering becuase half the people would be not allowed to come

Then let's make it in Montreal or Toronto, that lowers the legal age to 18 !!!:p Isn't legal age in the US 21??? (We kinda make fun of that over here...)

And with a bit of hope, the change rate could be good for you in the south!!!

[sewittogether]

umm. i think somewhere in america might be better.
and plus i think we are allowing people under 18

[Plasma]

Guess what!
I can't drink in either of those places!
Shirley temples here I come!

[ryanmoore]

umm. i think somewhere in america might be better.
and plus i think we are allowing people under 18


we best be
cuz ryan over here is only 15

grrrr to all you old people!

[sewittogether]

yah! Go people 15 and under!!! Woot woot!

[crazydaiz]

well I'm 16, so bahaha!

But I don't think my age will help me at all
I still think we should at least have a little get together here on the west coast

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

not alot of our threadheads live in canada so that wouldnt work so i think the best place would be probally new york or maryland.

[pinoyblaze]

We could always make individual meeting depending on the areas. Like a west coast meeting, east, and what ever else there is. We may not be able to see everyone but at least we can meet some of the threadheads.

[MamaSasss]

All right.
I'm putting a stop to some of this right now before everyone gets too ahead of themselves.

I'm going to encourage all of you to leave ideas and questions for me for what we can do on this thread. I am keeping a list and I'd like to hear more ideas so if/when this really happens I'll be able to pull together an awesome killer schedule for everyone involved (and after a brief conversation with Corinne...I will be the one organizing the activities. There. Happy? You got a little more information) :D.

At the moment, stuff like safety and 18 and under/over aren't something we can control. I'm still waiting to hear back from Corrine about certain things and once I do we'll be able to plan more adequately. I know you are all really excited about this and I don't mean to be a bummer by any means. I just want you all to know that I have thought about the safety stuff and under age stuff. Right now, I don't think it's as big a deal as it needs to be made out to be. Don't worry. I've got my thinking cap on, but I too am waiting for more info so we can move forward. Patience, my babies. :)

So, until I am able to divulge more info to the rest of you...please keep throwing out those awesome ideas for activities! Name some bands and PM me their contact info if you have it! If you have connections for activities, PM me about that too! You've all come up with some wonderful creative things for us to do! Keep 'em coming!

Whatever happens I promise to find a way for everyone to be involved. I promise. Witch's Honor. ;)

Love,
*M*

[MamaSasss]

Just to let everyone know...

I am now talking to Vanessa about this as well.

We're currently talking about sponsorship. Once we have an idea of what that will entail and if we can get a budget and location this might very well be a "go".

So, please keep sending ideas. Ryan has already sent me some. (Thanks again!) If you have ideas about sponsors I'd love to hear about them, so PM me if you have suggestions. It's always good to have a back up plan.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THREAD HEADS!

*M*

[MamaSasss]

KIDS!!!!

I need you all to help me out with something.
I need to know if any of you have a clue as to how much some of your ideas would cost.

I'm forming a budget.
So, if you can break down (into dollars) how much each piece of your activity ideas would cost I will love you forever and you will save my head from exploding.

This is extremely important, especially if you want this thing to happen......... ;)

[Plasma]

Well I say water ballon fight.
about 20 dollars for 200 balloons and however much water is.

[ryanmoore]

how would you break down a fashion show?

[goofipinay]

A fashion show..
It depends on the clothing, if you're gonna sell it..
The models (to wear them) if you want any.. lighting for it (if needed)
The location, and how long the fashion show would take; how many people (how big it has to be)

Blah blah. I realize this is a DIY fashion show so my knowledge might not help. bwahh xD

[MamaSasss]

Ok, let's assume that people would make their own clothes for a fashion show and that they would model the clothes themselves. So, really the only thing would be to find a room, make a runway of sorts, music and lighting. A microphone for an MC would be helpful, too I suppose.

Coolness.

[Neff]

Depending on the time frame (and types of music you wanted), I could handle the music aspect.

[MamaSasss]

Veddy interesting Mr. Neff. What kind of music?

And does this mean you could attend possibly????

[ladyjanewriter]

Even a tape-marked on the floor "runway" might work? Like, walk between these two lines to the X marked with bingo tape, strike a pose, pivot, come back.

[ladyjanewriter]

Hey, wait, wouldn't they have spare space at Etsy labs for a quick walk down the "runway" and twirl?

It could also be an etsy labs cross-promo. Just tossin that out there.

I usually work on hip-hop/r&b/trance/house/ambient

If people wanted that type of music for the runway, then I would be more than willing to mix up some music for them.

I should be able to attend, just depends on the dates and my work/wchool schedules. (Maybe I will luck out and get an internship in NYC {if that is where it will be})

[ryanmoore]

a runway wouldnt be too hard i guess
just a raised path down the middle of the room
you even stack books ( whoa thats an idea)
or........

we wouldnt need models
just people there modeling their own stuff
and other peoples stuff


i could do some crazy makeup
if we would want that
i know i would for a few outfits
'uhh
what else

lights
in the stenciling an stitching episode
you see rob and corinnes setup
for lights
they are cheap at the local hardwarre store
i think like 8 bucks ( but i could be wrong)
they look like tihs

http://i17.tinypic.com/53aequb.jpg

the ones hooked on the chairs

lets see what else?

how would we hook up the mic and music?
a stereo?
we would need lots of speakers

uhhhhhhhhhhh

thats all i can think of for now


but i have another question
would we all have to live in hotels for however long?
or how is that going to pan out?

Those are clip lights and yes, we could get those rather easily and cheaply.

As for hotels, I'm thinking this wouldn't be more than a weekend thing.
Friday - Arrive, evening event
Saturday - Tours/classes/party
Sunday - Tour/class/farewell, departure

There are cheap hotels to be had and people can always bunk together, which often tends to be one of the more awesome aspects of a thing like this.

Neff - That would be awesome if you could both mix the music and be there. A fashion show is definitely on the list. ;) Would you be interested in possibly being one of the bands/artists to play if we have a party during the weekend?

[ryanmoore]

what about my bookshelf runway idea?

wouldnt that be cool?
but we would nee LOTS of books
grrr

If this takes place in NYC, I might not even haveta stay in NYC the whole time. My hometown area's just one 2 1/2 hour bus ride away.

[MamaSasss]

I do like the book runway idea, but it would take a lot of books and not to say that it couldn't happen between now and then, but it would take a lot of set up time. I'll put it on the list of possibilities and if we can do it that would be super sweet. :D

[MamaSasss]

What?! You don't wanna bunk with me, Lady?!

I see how it is.

;) :p

[ryanmoore]

i mean the whole concept is DIY
so why not a DIY runway?
i also have to figure out my situation for bunking and
transportation
grrrr
curse the dmv
*curses dmv*

umm

what else do we have on the list besides a fashion show?

Well, it's the whole time-frame thingy, too. Not saying it isn't a cool idea, but just keep in mind the time allowed for all sorts of stuff, too. :)

[ryanmoore]

i understand that
i think it would be worth it though


Well, it's the whole time-frame thingy, too. Not saying it isn't a cool idea, but just keep in mind the time allowed for all sorts of stuff, too. :)

[ladyjanewriter]

Have you ever been to NYC, tho? There's soooo much to doooooooooooo! 24 hour chinese restaurants, man!

[MamaSasss]

Here is the list of things I have thus far (I really don't think we need to add anything else at this time):

1. Raid a thrift shop
2. Tour Etsy Labs
3. Fashion show
4. Video tutorials from absent Thread Heads
5. Vendors
6. Auctions
7. Name Tags by sewittogether
8. Swaporama
9. Bands
10. DIY food (?)

That's the list.

[ryanmoore]

i like the raid a thrift shop idea
the store will be empty by the time we are done!

[suburbanjungle]

If this thing folds out [WHICH WOULD BE AMAZING!] we could organize "living situations." Aka, who stays with who or something. I like the simultaneous ['scuse my spelling] party idea, because not everyone will be able to get to NYC [though that'd be awesome! obviously]. Those who can't go to NYC [probably me as well. -.-;] could set up a ThreadBanger party together in a big city somewhere.
Any Midwesterners on here?! I'd love to get some bands from The Current (89.3 amazing public radio] Anyhow, I also like the 3-day plan MamaSasss came up with. Hopefully it'd leave free time to explore whatever city you're in..? Wow that was long. All the ideas from everyone are awesome! And I think we'd probably need to do some sort of liability thingy or something for underage kids. -.-;

[ladyjanewriter]

MammaSasss - that sounds AMAZING. Whoa. *applause*

[goofipinay]

Ryan if you go, take meeee =]

ooh food =D
so it'll be a whole weekend?

I love the idea of a duel party going on for all the people who can't make it to NYC. And you're totally on the ball with the "living situations" idea. Kudos!

P.S. I love your signature. :D

MammaSasss - that sounds AMAZING. Whoa. *applause*


Thanks, but really the list came out of the minds of the loverly Thread Heads on the board.

Virtual High Fives all around. :cool:

[MamaSasss]

This is what I'm thinking.

[ryanmoore]

yeah what about that?
do i need a permission slip?
*giggles*
tee hee


no seriously do i?

[ladyjanewriter]

^^^ Probably, yeah.

[goofipinay]

okay..
wow it's like a convention

so, we're really having bands? I know a band up in NY called Sunday Night Scene; I haven't heard their recent music, but I like them... they're underground so *maybe* they could come... but I have to check their schedule cause they seem to be touring around a lot lately

would the evening event be the fashion show (Friday) or..it could be a welcome party, and then Saturday's the fashion show (in case people don't come Friday)..
course the schedule's probably the last thing we need to worry about

[MamaSasss]

yeah what about that?
do i need a permission slip?
*giggles*
tee hee

Don't worry about that just yet 'cuz I don't know how the underage thing is going to work out. A permission slip thing although is most likely going to have to happen.

PM me the info for the band if you have it.
I think the fashion show would happen on Saturday, possibly Sunday morning before everyone leaves. Dunno yet. The only stuff that would happen on Friday would be orientation type things and maybe a little workshop or dinner thing. That's as far as I've gotten with thinking about it.

[ryanmoore]

im getting excited just thinking about it

do you think we could like charge admission
for the fashion show for like outside people ( not threadheads)?
that could raise some money?

maybe also after it people could like bid on the items from the show?

just throwing ideas out tthere?

I'm not sure about things like charging admission and such simply 'cuz I'm still talking to Corrine and Vanessa about where the money to host this thing would come from. Once I know the preliminaries of all that jazz we'll actually know if that is something we would be required to have or not.

So, the short answer is....I don't know. Don't worry about it yet. :D

If people involved in the fashion show were interested in selling their stuff then people should start to speak up about it now. That will help determine if we have auctions, raffles and the like. So, who (that would be there to attend the event and model their clothes) would be interested in selling their stuff?

[ryanmoore]

i would sell some of my struff
but its ALL one of a kind
which is why i used auction instead of just selling
i think alot of us diyers are like that

your doing an awesome job MamaSass
keep up the good work!!!

[MamaSasss]

Thanks kid!

I haven't completely lost my marbles....yet. :D


ATTENTION THREAD HEADS!!

P.S. I am formulating a list of bands for everyone to check out and vote on. So far I only have four. PM more bands! Send me links so I can listen to them if possible. Thanks!

[timmys_girl1uk]

Guys i would soooooooo love 2 go but its in nyc i could go on me own but its so far away n i wouldnt know where im goin as im from the UK. also its the money aspet.
*sobs*

[ryanmoore]

do we have a list of who would be allowed in?
which people would be contributing to the fashion show?
who would be selling clothes?( auctioning?)
who would have equipment for video tutes from far away threadheads?
who has a webcam for chat with far away threadheads?( i do)



and i just have a question

would this cost US anything?
besides like hotels and stuff
would we have to pay entry or whatever?
( isaw you were talking to vanessa and corinne and i was justa wionderin)


THANKS MAMASASS
keep up the good work!!!

We don't have a list just yet. If any of you have a preference on how you would like to be included as far as selling stuff, doing the fashion show and whatnot PM me. It's really hard to keep track of who wants to do what in the thread. PMs are much easier to handle. :D So, take a look at the post I posted earlier about what the schedule could possibly (will most likely) consist of as of now and see what you think you can contribute to those things. Then lemme know!

As far as us having to pay for things....once again...I dunno. :rolleyes: Still waiting to hear the word on money. You guys have to remember that until we know what the money situation is (as far as sponsors go) we won't know what we're really going to be able to do. So, I know it's hard at this point but please try to be patient and please keep sending your ideas and throwing out your support for the whole thing. :)

For the time being I would highly encourage any and all of you to PM me with questions that have to do with the money thing right now 'cuz like I said above, it's easier to keep track of those concerns in PMs. This way I can keep a list of questions to ask Corinne and Vanessa when the time comes. If you'd like you can also PM asking for my email address and I will gladly give it to you and we can communicate that way.


I'm going to go eat cake now. PHEW!

*M*

[ladyjanewriter]

Yeah, what she said. ^^^

Good questions, but, please keep in mind, ryanmoore, this is like way way way way way in the beginning stages of planning. So, it's seriously one of those things where this stuff just isn't hammered out, yet. Really valid questions, tho.

[Miss_Gagarin]

Guys i would soooooooo love 2 go but its in nyc i could go on me own but its so far away n i wouldnt know where im goin as im from the UK. also its the money aspet.

Don't worry about that just yet. I'm sure that when the thing is set up, it will be possible to arrange to meet at the airport/train station/bus station or something to make sure everything is fine and that everybody gets to destination!

[MamaSasss]

Look at how smart you are.

You've done this kinda thing before. I can tell. ;)

[ryanmoore]

i think i might have to make a run to the thrift store

just this thread is making me want to go make some stuff
maybe even auction??? ooh baby!

[Miss_Gagarin]

Look at how smart you are.

guilty... I'm working on something similar at school right now

[DBXP]

Oh now why did we stop talking about this :(

It has been a sad day for the hawk.
And we just made it sadder for him...

On page 5 I think

[MamaSasss]

Were has this thread been all my life?

and Mamasass do you still need bands?

Yes. PM me to add it to my list.

And don't worry kids, the thread may have slowed down a bit, but the idea is still up in the air. :cool:

[MamaSasss]

I have an update:

Vanessa and I are still talking, but she wanted me to let everyone know that Next New Network wants to make this happen for us. They have to figure out costs and such. I just sent them a list of everyone's ideas that would most likely be plausible for a weekend event. I'm just waiting for feedback from Vanessa now.

So, be happy kids. Things are looking good! :D

Here's something to think about :

If any of you are interested in doing a workshop tutorial PM me with
1. What you would like to do a workshop on?
2. How long would the tutorial be?
3. What supplies would be needed?
4. How much do you think it would cost in supplies?(Give me dollar amounts, please!)

Also, I would encourage at this time to hear about tutorials that can be done without sewing machines. I just don't know at this time if we'd have any. So, think beyond the sewing machine. :)

I'll let you all know more when I have more news.

YAY!

[MADHACKZ]

We could show off DIY stuff we made.
Like a fashion show or something silly.
I dunno.
I live in PA..so NYC is kinda farrrr..but tis ok.

[Plasma]

I SAY WE CALL THE LIFE OF THE PIRATE JEN JENKINDS!

XD I second that. Now all I have to do is convince my parents to let me go...heaven knows that'll never happen.
"WHAT?!? YOU WANT TO GO TO NEW YORK TO STAY WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE YOU MET ONLINE?!?" :eek: [mom]
:confused: *shrug* "Who's paying for it?" [dad] XD
Ahh...I can just see this unfolding. My dear, dear mother is slightly overprotective...I mean, for some reason she's convinced that somehow the internet immediately becomes evil after 11PM..I just don't get it.

[ladyjanewriter]

No ideas yet, I'll send some your way MommaSasss, if I have a brainstorm.

My mom gets all tweaky over me meeting friends from the 'net, and I'm 35.

I don't tell her half of what's going on with my life anymore, b/c some of my best friends right now are online. :D I like online people better than IRL ppl. I hate small talk.

Ah....excellent.

Just so everyone is aware, I have a list of things kind of set already. If you go back through the thread I think I posted the list. Stuff like fashion shows and vendors are already on there. We've actually covered a lot already with this thread, so I think everyone will be happy. But I seriously need to know who's interested in running a workshop. I'm not sure how many there will be 'cuz NO ONE HAS OFFERED TO TEACH ANY YET!!! :p PM me kids. STAT!

Maybe if you petitioned for specific workshops to encourage people to offer. I'm sure someone would step forward and be all like "Oh shiz, I can do that!:D"

Personally, (though I know for sure, for sure that there is no chance I'd be able to attend) I would love to see how Ryanmoore made that Drama Queen necklace he posted a while back.

[daheadlesshero]

I'm liking this idea. We should rent a performance hall (small place like a social building or whatnot) and have a big event there and have nametags that say our screennames.

[daheadlesshero]

also, since I just read the first post and don't want to read everything, is anything definite yet (dates,times,places,events and such)?

[ladyjanewriter]

It's still in the very early brainstorming stages. Plus Vanessa has to talk to her people at Next New Networks.

[MamaSasss]

also, since I just read the first post and don't want to read everything, is anything definite yet (dates,times,places,events and such)?

Not yet.
We're waiting on word from Next New Networks.
Once I know what's going on with definite plans I'll post a new thread.

For the time being I would recommend taking the time to look through the rest of the thread. :)

[saintlike_ontheoutside]

just throwing out a idea mabe after you raid the good will shop and come back (next day or whenever the next segment is) the you all have to transform your purchase using only basic material( spraypaint, stencils stuff like that) for whos is the best then take befor and after pic and vote on whos the best and viewers from the video could vote too

[DBXP]

I'm already saving up :D I already got like 70-80 bucks set back! Just do that and make sure it's over the summer and-

IDEA! This may sound realllllllllllyyy wrong, but why not have people team up and just share hotel rooms? Just an idea I just thought up...

Also if any bands playing need a guitarist, just send me the tabs, ight?

[MamaSasss]

Two things:

1. As far as workshops go, I am throwing out these topics: a) Jewelry b) Shirts or bags and c) Non-fashion DIY. There are your boundaries for workshops. PM me if you have something you'd like to give a tutorial on. (Keep in mind that there mostly likely won't be sewing machines available.)

When we get closer to actually setting a schedule and I know better who's going to be able to make it to the event I'll have a better idea of which workshops we'll actually be able to do.

And 2....

Vanessa is talking to Etsy Labs. :D
Happy Wednesday kids.
*M*

[ladyjanewriter]

I could easily do "metalwork" with Aluminum Tape as a non-fashion DIY. Lemme price it out n get back to you! I bet using scrap cardboard as a surface for the tape could work well.

Essentially, use a pen that ran out of ink as an embossing tool, tape the aluminum tape to the cardboard, put cardboard on an old magazine as your embossing pad, press down while drawing to emboss. Similar to foil art, but WAAAAY cheaper.

[MamaSasss]

Ladyjane - That sounds awesome! PM more detail and costs when you get a chance. :)

[ladyjanewriter]

Roger that!

*writes note to self*

[Plasma]

I don't thinks me mummy will let me go.

[ladyjanewriter]

I don't thinks me mummy will let me go.

I don't think so, either. :( But, hey, I think that's a pretty responsible way to look at, considering you're only 12 1/2 years old. Oh, wait, or is that 45? ;)

Yeah, but seriously, from an old broad's perspective, I can see her point.

Maybe you can go in 2012?

[ryanmoore]

i dont know if my mom will let me
go
grr

im 15 years old
almost 16
grrrr mother

i need help convinvcing!!!

[Plasma]

legally, I could go on my own in 18 years.

[ladyjanewriter]

Sorry, I'm no help. The "Overprotective Mom" lurking deep inside me is coming out on this topic. Darn it, I always knew I had one of those inside me! It's one of the many reasons I haven't had kids, yet.

I think my imaginary daughter could go when she was 17. I think I'd trust my imaginary son at 16. God that's sexist of me! OK, so I'll round it up to 17 because then there'd be one year of driving skills.

[ladyjanewriter]

legally, I could go on my own in 18 years.

Yep, exactly!

[crystalzemoose]

i'll be 18 and out of high school by next year/summer so we're all good with me. austin would be most convinient to me but if i must save up for nyc, than i will.

[Plasma]

And, um, when exactly are you legal to go places?
I can't remember.

[crystalzemoose]

well,18 is when you're an adult. i think you have to be like 21 to rent a car. as for going places,my sister's 13 year old friend goes to cali to see her dad by plane on her own.

[ladyjanewriter]

-- 25 to rent a car. A lot of companies raised the age for that. Stupid, isn't it?

Also, depends on your state. Some states have different ages where you're considered adult, but I think most are 18 now?

[Plasma]

Yeah. Then I actually only have to wait -32 years.

And think about how much money it would be to fly all the way from LE TAMPON???

I may be a millionaire, but I'm not THAT rich.

[ladyjanewriter]

If "Le Tampon" is where I think it is? (can't pull up the frappr map, but just realized what US city sounds like "tampon,"), there should be a lot of cheaper east coast flights to NYC.

[crystalzemoose]

yeah,it wouldn't be that expensive

[ladyjanewriter]

Actually, The Chicago to NYC flight is probably more expensive! Keep in mind lots of vacationers are near Le Tampon.

It feels odd typing "tampon" so often without giving suggestions on the best feminine hygiene products? *ahem*

[MamaSasss]

Think about this guys, even if you can't physically be there you might still be able to participate by submitting tutorial videos. So, keep thinking of things you may want to teach.

Also, I'm really hoping that at the very least we'll be able to do a video montage type thing from the people who can't be there. I'm not sure just yet how it would work out 'cuz we need to know if NNN can cover it, but it's an idea. And Plasma, I know you can pull a video together. ;)

[daheadlesshero]

IDEA! This may sound realllllllllllyyy wrong, but why not have people team up and just share hotel rooms? Just an idea I just thought up...

I think DBXP just wants teh sexor....
But also, that's not a great idea. Some of the younger ones' parents would like this idea a lot less if we were sharing rooms with strangers...
and yes, I am a younger one.

well i do know someone who lives in new york
so that might help with the rooming issue

but then im still alone in new york with no adults


grr

[sewittogether]

okay sharing rooms---- i dont think that's such a great idea.

[sewittogether]

and um , well ,
wouldnt we exceed the people in the room limit?

[CaptinMcCracken]

and um , well ,
wouldnt we exceed the people in the room limit?
He's talking about 1, 2 or 3 people. not the entire TB

[sewittogether]

.... You mean that at the thread head meeting there would only be threeee PEOPLE???
I highly doubt that.

[ryanmoore]

i would share a room
with certain people
that i knew
even though i dont really ""know "" them
it would only be someone that i talk to on here alot

[CaptinMcCracken]

.... You mean that at the thread head meeting there would only be threeee PEOPLE???
I highly doubt that.
1, 2 or 3 to a room.

[crystalzemoose]

.... You mean that at the thread head meeting there would only be threeee PEOPLE???
I highly doubt that.
they mean hotel rooms, not the actual event.

[goofipinay]

Hmm..
my mom wouldn't let me go either
I mean, she'd be like "oh. I have to CHAPERONE again? remember Vegas?"
(she liked Vegas, it's just that the whole modeling thing was for ME and nothing for HER. so...I mean, if we had money and she understood the event, she might let me drive or something... but I highly doubt it)

I SHALL MAKE A VID THEN!!!

[glass__onion]

this all sounds awesome...
my mom wants to go to new york with me anyway sometime.
argh! i wish i wasnt a "younger one"
my parents will probably freak if i tell them though =)

[CaptinMcCracken]

Who wants to room with me?
I warn you I snore.

[DBXP]

I think DBXP just wants teh sexor....
But also, that's not a great idea. Some of the younger ones' parents would like this idea a lot less if we were sharing rooms with strangers...
and yes, I am a younger one.

DAMNIT you found me out!
And yeah, it's kinda one of those "iffy" suggestions.
And I too am a younger one, so it's like, only if you want to do it and all that noise...

I will say I am completely trust worthy! The only thing that would be going on is me pranking who ever I would room with. I am totally not a 41 year old fat dude who lives in his mom and dads basment while cybering 13 year olds as I'm writing this. Just thought I'd tell you...

ZOMG! YOU HAVE A TALKING BULL DOG?!

Has anyone ever told you you look aLOT like Adam Sandler in Little Nikky?

[DBXP]

.... You mean that at the thread head meeting there would only be threeee PEOPLE???
I highly doubt that.

You're just not getting this are you?

[MADHACKZ]

My mom would probably let me go and share a room too.
She doesnt generally care.
But me and dbxp cant share a room..I think he thinks were like clones or something...

[Plasma]

If I went, I would like to room with DBXP.
That way I would look a lot better.

*tosses dorito chips at Plasma!*

*Oh, crap...those were good doritos, too. Drat.*

I think a photo of Plasma standing next to DBXP would be one of the best aspects of the whole thingy!

Yeah I don't doubt that you're actually pretty cool in real life,just wierd here.
On a different note, I'm trying to get somebody I know to join here so if he goes I could come with him so my mom wouldn't have to take me which would give me more leverage. But of course, there's always the chance she wouldn't let me go period. It's probably going to be that way, since she think's I'm gonna get shanked if I tell people what state I live in. Meh.

Actually I am Adam Sandler.

[crazydaiz]

[DBXP]

Right back at ya.

[iamtyping]

Oh Hooray for people!

I would love to go but theres no way I could go :(

I live in the south (Texas) so me heading up to NYC is highly unlikely.

But I'd love to go to it none the less. And who knows, maybe I could go! Considering I'm hoping on getting a job at Lowes or Home Depot. so thats 12 $/hr and one week I may top out at 200-250 dollars so who knows really?

OOH I could buy a van and kidnap you (and anyone else who lives in Tx and on the way) and drive you all up there!! *evil laughter*

Probably won't happen, but hey, it'd be cool if it did. :D

[DBXP]

Funny cuz I was thinking about doing the same thing...but at the time I had no idea anyone lived anywhere near TX.

And chances are it would happen :D

Hahahahaha...

[DBXP]

Right back at ya.

YOU...ARE....GOD
*faint*

[iamtyping]

Hahahahaha...

Sweet! I totally will, too. ^^ Yeah, I'm in the Waco area. Pretty cool... sometimes... XD

*needs to save up money for this AND moving out*



*needs a stable job*

[crystalzemoose]

it'll be weird. even one would be having a hard time saying people's real names instead of forum names. haha

[iamtyping]

I wouldn't mind being called my Forum name. ^^

[DBXP]

it'll be weird. even one would be having a hard time saying people's real names instead of forum names. haha

I wouldn't mind being called my Forum name. ^^

I would still call you both like Moose and Ty.

Is it wierd that theres now 3 people from TX that have posted back to back?

[ladyjanewriter]

Is it wierd that theres now 3 people from TX that have posted back to back?

Nope, b/c it's earlier where you are. :)

I can't help but wonder how this thing will work? (Not being a meanie or doubting Ms. Sasss.) Unfortunately, a lot of board members are in the age bracket where they'd probably need their parent's permission to come to NYC? :( Even if this doesn't fly right now, it doesn't mean we can't think about it in the future...

[iamtyping]

True.... but it's around midnight, and a school night, so we really shouldn't be on. XD (I don't have school right now though)

I know, I would like to help work things out.... but my ideas suck when it comes to planning things.... and I can't think of anything. I guess time will tell.

[iamtyping]

I'd probably mess up your letters... so I'd probably call you your real name, or "hey, acronym!" XD

[DBXP]

I'd probably mess up your letters... so I'd probably call you your real name, or "hey, acronym!" XD

haha! I wouldn't mind being called DB, Doombox, or Dave.

Although "acronym" has such a buzz to it...

[iamtyping]

^^ I like it! You are now "acronym" to me. HUZZAH!

[DBXP]

^^ I like it! You are now "acronym" to me. HUZZAH!

Smurfen!

[MADHACKZ]

ZOMG.
I wanna meet ladyjane and Plasma.
I can just look in a mirror and see dbxp.
We are too much a like!

[ryanmoore]

it'll be weird. even one would be having a hard time saying people's real names instead of forum names. haha



well it would be that gard for my name
id respond to both
well its the dsame thing i guess

[Plasma]

my forum name is easy to remember.
My real name is alec.

[daheadlesshero]

I will call you plasma. Because that's a cooler name. Or I might call you alec.
WHO KnOWS!?

[Plasma]

BWAHA.

my real name is actually steven.

[daheadlesshero]

it's probably not.

[ladyjanewriter]

Some people call me the Space Cowboy.

Oh, man, I'm tired.

[Plasma]

Some call me the gangsta of love.

[ladyjanewriter]

Some people call me Maurice.

*wowr-wowrrr!*

[daheadlesshero]

I had to get up at 5:50 today for school, so I feel for you Ladyjane. And when I did I realized I had to do this for 180 days. I almost shot myself.

[Plasma]

Cause I speak, of the pompitous of loooove.

[ladyjanewriter]

Cause I'm a picker

***Edit: Yeah, Ichabod - I tried to go to bed, and wound up staying up till 1:30. dumb.

[daheadlesshero]

yyyyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhyep. I only went to bed at 9:00 and I almost fell asleep during history today. The only thing keeping me awake was my teacher's douchiness.

[Plasma]

I'm a grinner

[ladyjanewriter]

I'm a lover!

[Plasma]

And I'm a sinner.

*why did I get this line..*

[daheadlesshero]

and I don't care.

[ladyjanewriter]

(hee)

uh..something something something sun!

[daheadlesshero]

thats sounds like a good song lyric
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner

[ladyjanewriter]

It is a song lyric. :-)

Take it Plasma!

[daheadlesshero]

oh. what song?

[Plasma]

It's

I play my music in the sun.

I'm a joker,
I'm a smoker,
I'm a midnight toker,
I don't want to hurt no one.

[daheadlesshero]

hm. I'll check it out.

[ladyjanewriter]

Uh...shoot, what's the title of it? Hold on...

***Edit:

Steve Miller Band - The Joker.

Plasma probably knows it from That 70's Show, or his older bro. I grew up hearing it.

[daheadlesshero]

well here's a chorus I wrote:
what to do about you?
when I ask you to dance
when I tell you to sing
when I find you crying alone

[daheadlesshero]

I wrote the rest of the song but I'm too lazy to type it up.

[ladyjanewriter]

That's actually quite good, mr. headless.

[ladyjanewriter]

It's

I play my music in the sun.

I'm a joker,
I'm a smoker,
I'm a midnight toker,
I don't want to hurt no one.


-- Ooooh-hooooohooo--OOOOOH!!!

***Edit:

daheadlesshorseman - this song:

[daheadlesshero]

[ladyjanewriter]

Yeah, sorry! It was the first one I came across that had the full version.

And - topic!

I'd like to give a nice round of applause for MamaSasss for all her hard work!

*applause!*

[daheadlesshero]

*super applause!!*
