Occupy Nashville Chat / business sector contributors
« on: October 13, 2011, 11:54:01 pm »
dal, who i only know as "revivedvinyl" on the chats has offered us a great proposition.  

first, his business - he recycles LPs (records for youngun's ) into products like guitars and guitar pics.
second, his person - dal approached me at the first GA at dragon park with some fantastic concerns and solutions.  at the time, he was balancing a couple kids playing nearby and listening in to the GA.  he has since written a song, which i have posted numerous times (for the h of it - http://www.facebook.com/notes/occupy-wall-st/emergency-call-to-action-prevent-the-forcible-closure-of-occupy-wall-street/215007491900356 ). it's a great song, directed specifically at the occupation.
third, his plan - he has an idea to print pendents with "615", Nashville's area code, on his picks.  He wants to donate 60% of his profits to us and include in the packaging a business sized card with ON contact info.  

if you haven't heard the song, please listen.  it brings a smile to my face every time i hear it, close to a tear.

discuss,

Buck

Occupy Nashville Chat / Saturday essentials
« on: October 13, 2011, 07:07:04 pm »
disclaimer- i am not the boss, i don't want to be the boss, but i love team work.  saturday is huge.  we need focused conversation on this.  please do not respond with off topic commentary.  if you have a point which you think is valid, please add it or speak your truth.  regardless, as my high school english teacher used to sat, we have to "get a wiggle on it" (read: bust ass).  i am wide open tomorrow until 3 to field questions, make connections, answer the phone, etc.  don't hesitate to contact.

buck

as i see it - open to critique:

1) blast email to all those addys we have
       **points of contact, team leaders please send appropriate tech contact your info
       **tech - who is appropriate contact, who can do this.  what do you need to get it done.
2) press release - in progress - media.  Tennessean beat us to the punch and had an article about the rally today.
       ***who can get it to the press?  what press is it being sent to? are we missing any?
3) signage - there are several posts in media, multimedia and general chat for posters / artwork.  AMAZING stuff.  this needs to hit the streets tomorrow if possible.  i have tried to cross reference each forum thread so all of it can be found.  
       ***media, multimedia, outreach, direct action all need a hand in this.
       ***who can handle printing, delivery of goods to plaza for distribution?
4) points:
       ***the occupation of nashville is entering its second week
       ***10/15/11 is a GLOBAL day of action.  on every continent, except antartica, there will be "occupy" protests.

please discuss, claim tasks, report back as soon as you can.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

please also, someone from each team check in to ensure the email went out.  i do not have an email for all the working groups (direct action, logistics, i know i have it for tech and media, i think legal)

which begs the question, what are all the groups / committees now?  how should each play a role?  if you can contact them and bring them to this discussion, let us know.

we will be interviewed next week for Living on Earth, a major, nationally syndicated NPR radio show.  They have already "gone to press" for this weekend's show so it won't be aired until the weekend of the 22nd
