Board Notes—10/29/13
Program guides are in!
– We’re folding them.
Hard N*ps etc.
– Security thing remains up in the air, we need $500. Maybe applying with MidWess
– Concert is in two weeks!
– Not a lost cause, but its a little late to promote to listeners
– What audience is the show pulling, what kind of shows are we having
– Are there other non-paid security options
– Down the road building in the cost
Funding (TuneIn, Live Nation/MGMT)
– Outside Funding?
– Past experiences with TuneIn (mixed) but did pay for the security at our shows last year
– LiveNation/Oakdale/MGMT are they trying underwrite or just trying use us
– Ben is bringing this to the board, but… how do we feel about this, tickets are on sale soon so this is a fast turn around, but it could fund our security needs…
Open the Hard Nips to the public or not?
– Do we need to verify the security issues…
– Go back to Alissa, but talk about wether it is worth it
– Or is it okay to just not open it to the public… and learn for the future
# Board approves Izzy’s hard nips poster
# Board does not approve LiveNation/MGMT ticket give away posts on Facebook/Twitter, tells them to look into underwriting
MYRP (playing out of a box)
– a potentially unauthorized guest was on the show
– the show wasn’t going along great, the show was pretty unprofessional
– it was ZG’s first time on their own
– MYRP needs to be more strict on guest, more strict on rules in general, pedagogy!
– What are the issues:
—Content screening process
——adult approval/clean bin
—disciplinary issue
——ZG, MB meet with ZG to review the protocol
——Or EKM can talk with ZG, listen to the show again
——BM would sit down with ZG and guest and EKM
– Show did have high points,
