Bluelight Stall - Part Two - Please Read

Johnboy,
I think the text used in the Dancesafe info is great. It's definately pitched at the right level.

oki doki bumble bee
i was thinking of 2 different brochures.
1. a simpler, straight forward piece giving general advice in layman's terms. like pill content possibilities, water consumption, general pre/post loads recommendations. which ends off with "for more information, refer to brochure #2"
2. for pple who are more bothered in taking care of themselves and actually finding out more about harm reduction, this can include the medical terms and jargon. and detailed explainations of things mentioned in brochure #1.
another thing is i think a bookmark with the url printed on is more useful than a namecard. this is just my personal opinion, bcos at parties im more likely to pick up a pretty bookmark so i can actually use it, than i would pick up a namecard.

brochure number 2 is Bluelight itself.
all that information is right here. the purpose of these cards is to get people onto Bluelight where they can find all that information and more.
as for the mention of preload/post load; well we can't really be publshing pamphlets with that stuff on it because it is not hard scientific fact.
we must make sure that everyone thing we publish, under name of Bluelight or another name, is rock hard scientific fact. othewise it is going to make for tricky legal ground.
this is the reason why we are using this as a method of pointing people towards Bluelight. we are not constrained by such laws here on the net. this is a discussion board, where people are free to post things that haven't been rigourously proved or otherwise.
i'll go into more detail about these points later. but for now just try and keep in mind that once we get people onto Bluelight we have one half the battle.
 
gotcha big daddy!

the only reason why i did a business card design was i would have assumed the standard 9cm x 5cm business card would be cheaper/easier to print rather than something else. from my perspective i think we'd be handing them out so it wouldnt matter what it was, and bookmarks are only good for those who actually read novels etc, perhaps a business card is easier to slip into a wallet or pocket than a longer bookmark.
i would have thought pre/post load would be more advanced rather than something you would find in a simpler pamphlet, and wouldnt it be more cost effective and easier to hand out etc one pamphlet that contained all the information we wanted to get across? cost effiency and double handling is somehting that needs to be kept in mind.
 
has anyone spoken to Timothy Moore from the Redfern Legal Service? also when are we writing this letter to send to Paul Dillon in regards to our cause? just looking for an update on this

Cowboy Mac,
I believe I put my hand up for both of those jobs but *hangs head in shame* i haven't gotten around to either one as yet.
I will get onto it tomorrow. Promise

stickers..
stickers are fantastic.. they can be put anywhere by anyone at anytime. if anyone makes stickers, send them my way.. i will plaster this entire city with bluelight propaganda.. stickers everywhere
that goes for flyers too..
i dont have the organizational skills to get shit up and running in perth, but im down to be part of whatever goes on, in any way i can help..
 
In regards to the wednesday Syd meetup in newtown,could someone perhaps post or email me their mobile incase I need to give em a buzz?
Otherwise...
scenario:
-arrive at the pub
-shite the place is packed!
-oh well I guess I'll just start asking people if they're Bluelighters
"erm um excuse me... i was just wondering if you were umm ... a bluelighter?"
*SLAP* "That's the worst pick-up line I've heard in ages!"
-sheesh I'm outta here!
 
Well said XSI11V.....*lmao*
Just to let the Melb people know.....i'm gonna try and have a rough mockup of the pamphlet ready by Thursday night........
The content may not be spot on (HEY.......might need a WHOLE re-working) but it will be a start at least!
No promises though......i'm VERY flat out at the moment!
Here's a thought!............
Could all of you put any info you think is appropriate on here so that we can all decide if it is worth putting in from legal/understandable/appropriate/informed/interesting viewpoints/angles? Might even be nice if we re-write things in our own words perhaps?
That way EVRYONE roughly knows what's going in and going on! And everyone's a part of it!
What do you guys think?

Oops sorry twoup it's [email protected]
I think that's a good point you raised mad monkey. I don't think we should be waiting for the meetings to discuss pamplet ideas, besides not everyone can make it, and this is a discussion board!
Maybe we should start a different thread for pamplet discussion as we'll be bouncing a lot of ideas around.
This is a team effort - the more input the better!

a new thread sounds good, link it babeee

i think the content will be a continual work in progress tho, how much depth do we want to go into with these pamplets, do we want to cover everything we can we feel is important, or do we need to evaluate what should be written about?

I'm putting my hand up to help in any way.
I've been reluctant because of exams but it's sorted now

I'm a perthie, so I'll be with you awake. We can fill perth with bl propaganda

I'd be keen to get a stall happening, if a few people put up there hands then we should get it going.
 
Finn and others organising/attending the meeting:
i was just talking to Temptress then and it seems that we won't be able to make it. uniwork calls for us wollongong people, and with trans on the weekend thats already a few days time away from the assignments, so regretfully, we can't attend.
if anyone attending the meeting is going to be at Trans, we can discuss some stuff there if you want. please keep an agenda too, we'd love a copy of it.
sorry to pull out at the last minute, its slack i know, but uniwork sucks sometimes.
take care all and i hope it goes well.

I have been assured by Mibrane that RaveSafe will be in contact with me tommorow. I will organise a meeting with them to see how we can work with them. RaveSafe can open alot of doors for us.

Careful with that axe Eugene....
