			[10:14pm] JCF: sorry no raffels.. that may be a violation.

			[10:15pm] JCF: heh
			[10:15pm] jokeefe: Should be able to get them for half off
			[10:15pm] jokeefe: Falkvinge's book would be good.
			[10:15pm] jokeefe: as well
			[10:15pm] srevilak: JCF: if the raffle doesn't cost anything, then there's no finance involved
			[10:15pm] JCF: ok
			[10:15pm] shep: asilent auction wouldn't be a violation though. ?
			[10:15pm] jokeefe: cannot do a raffle
			[10:15pm] JCF: door prizes... ok auctions are ok then
			[10:15pm] JCF: too
			[10:16pm] jokeefe: right, srevilak, good point on the no money raffle
			[10:16pm] JCF: so we have soem latitude.
			[10:16pm] jokeefe: I think silent auction is ok as long as we collect campaign finance info.
			[10:17pm] srevilak: jokeefe: I'd agress
			[10:17pm] srevilak: jokeefe: I'd agree
			[10:17pm] jokeefe: confirm with OCPF would be good or check advisory opinions

	[9:48pm] JCF: heh		[9:48pm] JCF: heh
	[9:48pm] Kendra: Not to jump ahead, but have we chosen the acts yet?		[9:48pm] Kendra: Not to jump ahead, but have we chosen the acts yet?
			[9:48pm] Kendra: Is it going to be background music, or a concert?
			[9:48pm] jokeefe: nope
			[9:48pm] Bluestreak: I am working on getting that light portrait guy to work for free/donations
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: That is very entertaining IMO
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: Also, Chance is 100% on board
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: thanks
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: For free because he love us
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: He can find us a DJ
			[9:49pm] Kendra: Seriously, we need to have one of the Berklee bands that was above average play if we want to charge and make it worth it.
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: he is ok with the date change?
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: Yes.
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: agreed
			[9:49pm] Bluestreak: I am in constant contact with Chance.
			[9:50pm] srevilak: Question: if chance performs, are there other folks he'd like to perform with?
			[9:50pm] shep joined the chat room.
			[9:50pm] Bluestreak: Yes, I like a lot of the Berklee responders. Just one woudl do tha job
			[9:50pm] • srevilak waves to shep
			[9:50pm] jokeefe: hey shep
			[9:50pm] srevilak: Could do two acts: chance + one other
			[9:50pm] Bluestreak: OK here is the scoop: Sam wants me to cooke her something so I gotta bail.
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: bye, good luck & thanks!
			[9:51pm] Bluestreak: Call me later JCF, thanks for attending!
			[9:51pm] srevilak: night Bluestreak
			[9:51pm] Bluestreak: Goodnight my dear Pirates!
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: so 7-8, mingling & food, 8-9 panel, 9-11 one (or two) acts?
			[9:51pm] Bluestreak left the chat room. (Client Quit)
			[9:51pm] Kendra: Nite Lulu. So maybe the best available performer who contacted us, I think the school will still be in session.
			[9:52pm] Kendra: That's plenty for one evening
			[9:52pm] srevilak: jokeefe: that seems reasonable for a schedule
			[9:52pm] JCF: aye
			[9:52pm] jokeefe: DJ for the mingling part?
			[9:52pm] jokeefe: seems to me that the panel would bring down the energy
			[9:52pm] srevilak: DJ would be nice.
			[9:52pm] srevilak: $200 for entertainment budget?
			[9:52pm] shep: I have someone in mind...
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: oh?
			[9:53pm] shep: they said yes right away. I would have to reconfer with them
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: if only one act, then $200 sounds reasonable for a 2 hr set
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: DJ or band?
			[9:53pm] shep: DJ
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: nice
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: thanks!
			[9:55pm] jokeefe: So Chance, maybe the guy Lucia is asking and one other
			[9:55pm] jokeefe: ?
			[9:55pm] JCF: maybe .. but it depends on the focus of the panel and audience interaction... fierce Pirate retoric and impassioned campaign speeches might fire people up eh?
			[9:55pm] srevilak: JCF: would hope so
			[9:55pm] jokeefe: would hope so as well
			[9:56pm] srevilak: Panel could be as simple as "ask questions to officers and candidates"
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: oooh sexy
			[9:57pm] srevilak: jokeefe: I wouldn't go that far
			[9:57pm] jokeefe:
			[9:57pm] JCF: I think that we need to work on a couple short speeches that the candidates can deliver focus on privacy..and use some of the alarming facts and figures that are coming out but which dont get much main stream media play
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: sounds fine to me
			[9:57pm] srevilak: agreed
			[9:58pm] Kendra: the candidates need to come out with a strong platform and a good intro to the public. Might need to get them to write something up in advance to work on in the mean time.
			[10:00pm] Kendra: Might also want to invite some of the press to this.
			[10:00pm] JCF: I agree... also good if they have slighly diffrent angles on our issues becasue they have vastly diffrent contiuentcies..
			[10:00pm] JCF: ie.. Joe is rural and Noelani(sp?) is in the City
			[10:00pm] jokeefe: aye
			[10:00pm] JCF: Joe's district is much more conservative...
			[10:01pm] srevilak: JCF: that's a good idea. What would a pirate do in Bellingham, and what would a pirate plan to do in Somerville
			[10:01pm] Kendra: It's good to get an idea of how they engage the public in advance and might make sense to help them through some test speeches or short debates.
			[10:01pm] JCF: need to present Pirate issues to people in ways that will appeal to what they are accustomed to
			[10:02pm] JCF: we are doing that now by getting signatures
			[10:02pm] JCF: some older folks wouldnt sign Joes candicay papers becasue we dont have a specific pro-life agenda
			[10:02pm] Kendra: It's also a good time due to the Snowden revelations and people are interested right now.
			[10:02pm] JCF: sorry I spell terribly
			[10:02pm] jokeefe: Back to nuts & bolts
			[10:03pm] JCF: \aye
			[10:03pm] jokeefe: We have a tentative suggestion for $200 for the one act. Suggest that be the goal, but leave some discretion to the ones hiring performers.
			[10:03pm] srevilak: jokeefe: I agree
			[10:03pm] jokeefe: Also, Chris R. offered to do a stand up act.
			[10:04pm] srevilak: I'd like to see that. How much time does he need?
			[10:04pm] JCF: good political comedy can be a win.. or offensive and a flop... yea we have to preview it
			[10:04pm] JCF: 30 min is usually a good comedy set..15 min
			[10:04pm] jokeefe: fair enough, JCF
			[10:05pm] JCF: 15 min is minimum..can't build good comedic audience momentium in less than 15 mins
			[10:05pm] jokeefe: well, lets work it out.
			[10:05pm] JCF: you need to be a fantastic comic to do anything >30-40 mins...
			[10:06pm] jokeefe: so, not hearing any problem with $200 for the act + discretion ...
			[10:07pm] JCF: 2nd but its running into 500-600 for a budget then including food
			[10:07pm] JCF: fyi
			[10:08pm] JCF: I think that is ok.. if we promote it enough.... we will
			[10:08pm] srevilak: JCF: seems in line with goal you mentioned earlier: take in 1500, keep 1k or so
			[10:08pm] Kendra: The food can be gotten pretty cheap and made very nice with a little window dressing.
			[10:09pm] srevilak: we
			[10:09pm] JCF: I can get 10 people there ... I think they will throw down 40-50 each at least ... yea I like stuffed bread... can do meat and veggie..
			[10:09pm] srevilak: we're at 22:08
			[10:09pm] JCF: even if our field wont come do stuffed bread we could get the recipies and pull it off easil y
			[10:09pm] JCF: field = friend
			[10:10pm] JCF: basically calzones...
			[10:10pm] srevilak: mmm. calzones
			[10:10pm] JCF: enough covered for you tonight cpt?.
			[10:10pm] jokeefe: aye, we have.
			[10:10pm] JCF: what else was on agenda.>?
			[10:11pm] jokeefe: What other ways can we fundraise at it?
			[10:11pm] jokeefe: but we got the main points, so we can leave it at that for now.
			[10:11pm] JCF: shwag... um... unofffical pirate store can be there...
			[10:11pm] srevilak: Not fundraising, but we could try to recruit campaign volunteers
			[10:12pm] jokeefe: agreed
			[10:12pm] Kendra: we can sell stuff I would imagine. We can just out right ask say "we really need your support, every little bit helps"
			[10:12pm] jokeefe: all of the above
			[10:12pm] jokeefe: like srevilak's special t-shirt idea
			[10:13pm] Kendra: I am ok if it is time to adjourn, actually need to go now. I'll see you guys this weekend. Nits all.
			[10:13pm] Kendra: Nite
			[10:13pm] Kendra left the chat room.
			[10:13pm] shep: or copies of pirate books like were available at the freedom rally
			[10:13pm] JCF: Nits !
			[10:13pm] jokeefe: get get copies of the Pirate Party book for less. Will ask.
			[10:13pm] JCF: Falvinger stuff?
			[10:14pm] jokeefe: agreed.
			[10:14pm] srevilak: jokeefe: if we give tickets, could draw out of a hat and give door prizes
			[10:14pm] shep: I was thinking _no safe harbour_ I gave out my copy
