E-Theater Review

—————-

Held at PWFTC near OMSI

Around 70 people attended

Cost was $150 for the auditorium. However, Michael had to make

a number of trips to make sure their equipment would work with

the DVD, but their equipment didn’t. We’re hoping that they will

give us a discount because of the difficulty.

The facility cannot handle audio from a DVD player

Red and blue tickets were used. One color was for members who had

signed up, the other for people just attending. The idea was to give

preference to members. But we feel this didn’t work well and

in the future we should just use one color ticket and give equal preference.

Next year we should have a VIP party and hold it afterwards. This would

give people something to talk about. If you are a member it’d be free.

Otherwise, you have to pay for it.

We should have a committee to do the ETheater in the future.

If we do a raffle, get dontations for prizes. Also, get double tickets

so that 1/2 can be used for the raffle.

Michael will get copies of all the paperwork and get them to Herc.

Herc will store them. In general all papers/documents should be archived.

Once Herc gets copies of all the membership paperwork he’ll put them

into an Excel spreadsheet.

Volunteers

———-

For those who signed up they need to be contacted asap.

Consider changing membership form to make the volunteer section more

prominent. Or possibly make it a separate form.

Next General Meeting

——————–

This is the mixer at Cassidy’s in SW Portland

No responses so far. Unclear whether people just aren’t responding but will

show up.

People are encouraged to bring art

Should we do some silly activities to promote interaction and fun

(like pin the tail on the business card)?

Connie and Andy will check out the facilities. They’ll also find out

what we can really bring into the space (the restaurant may or may

not allow certain things – like computers.

If it is allowed, Michael wants to bring a display and a computer

to show animations. Also, might show 3D Workspace preview for the

January meeting.

Discussed various door prize ideas. One idea was to see if we can get

a DVD of the e-theater and make that a door prize. Michael

to work on that. Try to contact companies, organizations to see if

they would donate things (tickets, merchandise, etc.). Herc

to contact PAM. Others to contact whoever they know.

publicity:

place in calendar section of papers

contact other orgs. Use strategic planning list to start

WW costs $620 for about 3″ x 3″

Miscellaneous

————-

Michael to contact Adam about becoming treasurer.

Alex will try to find an additional person for the March meeting. The

person will talk about compositing. Andy will try to see if we could hold

the March meeting at a TV studio, (e.g. Fox 2 News).

We need to come up with a different meeting time, since Nance can’t make

Thursdays. Michael will choose 3 or 4 times and request that people respond

back as to their availability.

We will serve pizza and drink at the Jan meeting and charge $5 for

non-members. Jan meeting is the Intel 3D Workspace meeting. Location

will NOT be at Intel and is tbd.

What are we doing for Feb (anything?)?

**Strategic Meeting Part III** is Fri, Nov 15, 5pm at AII.
