... Raise money to help get musicians to Bronycon?
I AM IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL
Current roles of this ambitious project:
CIRCUITFRY - Reliable trustworthy guy who manages the donation account.
SENATOR MYTH - Calculating logistics talent (still needs a lot of help!)
WE NEED HELP WITH:
- Planning trips to and from Bronycon.
- Planning trips from Bronycon back home.
- Money raising projects.
- Researching places to stay.
There are many things that we can do to raise enough money to bring more musicians to Bronycon! Everyone can help!
1. INFORM
2. PLAN TRAVEL
3. PLAN ARRIVALS
4. PLAN EXIT ROUTES
5. RAISE MONEY
Even if you aren't sure if you yourself can make it to Bronycon, you can still contribute to the community and be really helpful!
1. INFORM
Lots of people need to know about this! We're pushing to transport a good number of musicians to BroNYcon to meet and enjoy music and have fun! Some of us cannot afford the trip alone! We need lots of hooves to make it happen so let your friends know and circulate it to places like Reddit and let people know! We are currently just two people planning this out, we need more people with more experience, if that's possible!
2. PLAN TRAVEL
If you can drive, you can carpool with musicians. This would be a SUPER HUGE GENEROUS thing for you to do, so if you want to plan that out, talk to Myth and he will help try to plan all that out! Some of you may know a bit about the roads, which is less busy than another, helps to inform Myth of that too!
3. PLAN ARRIVALS
Bronies need a place to stay in New York. They need cheap, safe places to reside, so if you have had experience staying at Bronycon and know a good, affordable living area where the musicians can share rooms, that would be great!!! We need multiple locations in case one place gets run over by bronies (hey, it could happen!!!)
4. PLAN EXIT ROUTES
We need to carefully plan exits just as carefully as we plan our routes up to NY. Bronies need to return home, as well, to the point where there's a day when families can expect their musicians to return, too. Help is wanted in the planning departments!!!
The general plan is as follows:
First, inform everyone and get smart noggins involved!
Second, start up donation projects and research affordable locations near Bronycon!
Third, plan out trips to and from the convention!
Fourth, calculate the logistics of lodging and trips!
Finally, distribute money to the several different trips for brony musicians to make!
If we somehow still have money left, it goes to charity.
We will try to cover these expenses:
- Travel to Bronycon
- POSSIBLY the rent, POSSIBLY.
- Travel from Bronycon
Right off the bat, you will be expected to:
- Pay for the entrance fee
- Pay for the rent if we can't pay for the rent.
- Bring everything that will prevent your body from grossing everyone out.
- Represent MLR and not get drunk and be a jerk.
This is a big big big ambitious project to start. It will be difficult for just one or two people to do alone. We will need info from many musicians about where they live and how we can get them to the convention. We will need more volunteers to dedicate their time to planning and logistics because these are the biggest steps and Myth is brave to get started on it, himself. In the meantime, I'll set up a donation account to pool our money into.
Like I'm not a brony.
