MASH sept. 9th

  • Wants us to broadcast live? Not likely -> don’t want to interrupt regular shows
  • Would like to host a spot!
  • HN: work w/ WESU for sponsorship and promotion — mash is in collaboration with bookstore and thinks that WESU would be a great bridge because it is already involved with Wes and community → how to get students to be on campus but connect the community and campus with music
    • Dream would be livestreaming into the bookstore
    • WESU physically w/ bodies or tabling or record sales represented
      • Broadcasting via instagram in the bookstore
      • We can frame ways to promote the event — support of WESU comes from the CFA
      • WESU tabling w/ merch, records, banner

  • Make sure there is a specific cause

Potential for WESU vintage t-shirt shop!!!

  • A lot of tshirt design options now
  • Opportunities to do custom stuff
  • They would maintain website and sales and would just send us checks — 50/50 above cost
  • Individual DJs could do shirts! So cool!
  • Ben M. will start planning and start up during the summer
  • There will need to be a launch — but not step on toes of pledge drive
