Okay what did we discuss- in short we need to:
1-determine who will be at the table during the three days
2. finalize payment for the first episode of "The DOOR"
3. prepare the logistics for how materials will be presented at the table and
4. get the "The DOOR" printed and ready for the convention
5.finalize pitch-in payments and release receipts for ads and pitch- in payment for table and booth
6 the need for a post-mortem on the book
7discuss future actions for "The DOOR" book 2 and using "Kickstarter" for future projects
okay that's it
1 After a first decision and additional call from Dudley we will have these people available at the booth'
Friday- Pat Jackson, Joe Cain, and Gerald Walker(needs to pay this day)
Saturday- Gerald Walker, Michael Marcus, and Marco Evans (one needs to pay)
Sunday- Mark Dudley, Oz Wilson, and Marco Evans (one needs to pay)
since we have three people in attendance each day- I will propose buying one-3day pass that will be passed onto the third person- please response if this does not make sense
2 The Door will be paid for by I Below Ground Production budget- which I expect everyone going can compensate the payment- I will get the books on Tuesday May 10 from Grekko printing in Plymouth Michigan-.
3 Still an open question is what is to be at the table the three days- Michael Marcus relayed that he wants IF-X issues 1 and 2 to be displayed and is willing to offer up his book stand for use at the table. Joe Cain stated Mark Dudley will have prints to present as well. Teon stated that xlr8 may have book 1 ready for the convention. Pat Jackson is getting a poster ready for the convention of his characters in his FX Mulrooney comic series. What is still needed to call for is how to get them at the convention and what is to be displayed each day- I think its easier that each person brings their own things the days they are there and only joint things like the "The DOOR" be there each day- unless some items are designated as splits in profits. lets communicate through the week- the current big banner is in Marco's car....
4 was stated in #2
5. pitch in payments should be made to Pat jackson- so far Oz has payed for the book pitch in, his ad , the back cover spot, and booth pitch in. and Joe Cain payed for himself and Dudley. Arvell Jones payed for a quarter page ad-the following pitch-in is needed for
Gerald Walker- $36- book and table
Marco Evans- $36- book and table
Michael Marcus $42 ( book, table, and 1/4th page ad)
other ads currently in book less printing ad needs to be assessed as well
6 we will need to do a post-mortem on this first book and the convention presentation- we can discuss this fully after the convention
7 it was mentioned and agreed upon by the group to pursue a Kick-starter project to cover the next convention and book installment . This will require forming a bank account and a plan.... TBD
It should be noted as a typo that Joe Cain contributed to the story of the "DOOR" but was left off the credits- this shall be remedied in book 2... and also Detroit Fanfare is on September 24-26- 2011- this is the date to shoot for book2 and an upgraded DTC unified front.
okay - whew I am done- now onto business- see everyone at the conventions- I still need to get material for booth set up- lets keep in contact by phone if possible.
PEACE!!!
