	[12:51] <@jokeefe> hi black_van		[12:51] <@jokeefe> hi black_van
			[12:52] <+black_van> hey sorry i missed most of it. i am having a busy day
			[12:53] <@mildbeard> I don't think it has to be in March.
			[12:53] <@mildbeard> I think we should space things out a bit though.
			[12:53] <@jokeefe> agreed
			[12:55] <@jokeefe> So something after Freedom Rally?
			[12:57] <@mildbeard> maybe crypto currency then?
			[12:59] <@mildbeard> And maybe a main conference in spring or something?
			[13:01] <@mildbeard> just thinking out loud...
			[13:01] <@jokeefe> Summer starts June 21st
			[13:02] <@jokeefe> if we scheduled it after pride, then we can advertise it in the fliers we hand out at pride
			[13:03] * srevilak going into lurk mode (work stuff)
			[13:03] <@jokeefe> That would be close enough to Together Boston on May 18th that we can advertise there as well.
			[13:03] <@jokeefe> sell tickets too
			[13:03] <@SplendidSpoon> I'll table that
			[13:03] <@SplendidSpoon> at Together
			[13:03] <@jokeefe> thanks!
			[13:04] <@SplendidSpoon> I do well with that crowd
			[13:04] <@jokeefe> I think we can get some other people to help now as well
			[13:04] <@SplendidSpoon> It'd be cool to have an event to promote there too
			[13:06] <@jokeefe> So does June 15th work?
			[13:06] <@mildbeard> ok
			[13:06] <@mildbeard> I do think handing out event fliers is a brilliant idea
			[13:06] <@jokeefe> we will have enough this time.
			[13:06] <@mildbeard> almost as good as chocolate doubloons...
			[13:06] <@jokeefe> or do we want to do June 22nd?
			[13:07] <@jokeefe> yum!
			[13:07] <@jokeefe> could do both
			[13:07] <@jokeefe> fliers for the parents, coins for the kids
			[13:07] <@mildbeard> either date should be great.
			[13:07] <@SplendidSpoon> Wait where?
			[13:07] <@jokeefe> not sure
			[13:08] <@SplendidSpoon> oh you mean have an event on one of those days
			[13:08] <@jokeefe> our conference
			[13:08] <@SplendidSpoon> yup
			[13:08] <@mildbeard> I love it
			[13:08] <@jokeefe> srevilak looked at some venues and got prices
			[13:09] <@jokeefe> ok, then cryptocurrencies confer weekend or two after Freedom Rally?
			[13:09] <@mildbeard> I keep forgetting to ask here locally about prices.
			[13:10] <@jokeefe> well snap too it matey! ;-)
			[13:14] <@jokeefe> so the cryptocurrencies conference the weekend or two after Freedom Rally?
			[13:15] <@mildbeard> sure, sounds good to.
			[13:15] <+black_van> are there any other orgs that would want to co-host the cryptocurrency conference?
			[13:16] <+black_van> maybe some bitcoin startups or other similar groups
			[13:17] <@jokeefe> don't know, but we can ask around since there is time.
			[13:18] <+black_van> I'll keep an eye out and put out some feelers
			[13:18] <@jokeefe> thanks
			[13:19] <@jokeefe> SplendidSpoon ?
			[13:19] <@SplendidSpoon> yea sure sounds good
			[13:19] <@jokeefe> black_van you fine with that date?
			[13:20] <+black_van> june 15th?
			[13:21] <+black_van> i have no preference, way too far in the future
			[13:21] <@jokeefe> or 22nd, depending on location availability - though this is for the party conference
			[13:21] <@jokeefe> the cryptocurrency conference would be in Sept. week or two after Freedom Rally
			[13:22] <@mildbeard> So here's a thought.
			[13:22] <@jokeefe> k
			[13:23] <@mildbeard> You're at an event, and someone hands you a flier for another event you really want to go to.
			[13:23] <@mildbeard> The following week you may be already busy, but much later and you will have lost the flier or forgotten.
			[13:23] <@mildbeard> What's the ideal time span?
			[13:24] <@jokeefe> if they can register on-line then less of an issue, but you are right that people are more likely to be busy the next week
			[13:24] <@mildbeard> so 2 weeks?
			[13:25] <@mildbeard> maybe the 1-3 range...
			[13:25] <@mildbeard> just thinking out loud again.
			[13:25] <@jokeefe> is good
			[13:26] <@jokeefe> I would aim for 2 weeks
			[13:26] <@jokeefe> but depends on what is available
			[13:26] <@jokeefe> June & Sept. give us lots of time to prepare and get the word out
			[13:28] <@jokeefe> well that is what I have for now.
			[13:29] <@jokeefe> sounds like work is taking everyone's attention so motion to adjourn
