[Drama-Committee] dvd's
by john cannon 03 May '06

03 May '06

hey guys as you know no lenox and cormac took the dvd issue into their own hands. this slightly contradicts our plans to have liana and joey drive the boat on the whole dvd scheme. lennox fowarded her message to bob and asked him to send it out to announce drama. bob assumed that that was what we decided at committee last night and did as lennox asked. so basicaly were lucky she chose the price we decided on last night ( 7 euro ) the only key difference is that she put cormac as the contact for selling the dvds as apposed to joey selling them out of his apartment. so i dont know if its better to leave it as is and have cormac give joey the dvds to sell out of his apartment once cormac has taken all the orders. either way i think it should of been lianas and joeys job to come up with a selling strategy e.g posters in the hub , trailers on bebo etc. although this can still be done. opinions? john -- John Cannon Science & Health Convenor DCU DRAMA Secretary 55609739 Pha1 086-2120067

[Drama-Committee] Possible Committee Meal / Handover / Pissup?
by Roibeard O Mhurcu 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hey Gang, First off, a big round of applause for John for roping in that extra 300 bucks in hoodie money. And a big round of applause for Siobhan & John & Eoin for setting up the Slipper for the DADAs, and especially Siobhan for scoring the 3 euro drinks! ...and sorry I didn't give ya a shout out at the awards themselves - I'm old and forget stuff now and again, please forgive me...? As for the meeting on Tuesday night (which I can't attend, due to SPCness, you may wanna check with Siobhan & Eoghan about that too): I have a few suggestions for the agenda... A cheque for 300 euro for Iain Dowling - he says he was paid 1000 for last year's musical and we only gave him 700 this time. We budgeted this extra 300 when we sorted out the loan from the SPC, and I am all in favour of giving it to Iain - remember how much work he and his boyfriend put into the Bushel & a Peck costumes free of charge. Spotlights & Radio Mikes / other capital stuff: I asked John, Alan and Jay to look into stuff like this to be applied for via the SPC ASAP. We need quotes! And detailed ones! The SPC rejected our application for 2 x 250 euro spotlights and said to go out and get some decent ones. Those ones for about 900 seemed more like it. Anyhoo, get quotes sorted out, for whatever you feel we need for the next few years (don't go nuts). Shane / Joey: Work with Alan & John to lash a grant app together for the equipment you'd like to see us get (don't be afraid of overspending, the SPC needs to get rid of money), and get it mailed to clubssocietiesfinance(a)dcu.ie (Siobhan Byrne) BEFORE WEDNESDAY. Which means: have the shit ready to go by the time you hit the meeting Tuesday evening. The SPC are not meeting this week, but have agreed to look over any applications we send in, via email. THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE. DVDs and whatnot: I would suggest going with the 7 euro price across the board for Guys n Dolls DVDs. 7 is reasonable, 9 too much and 6 just a bit too cheap. Cormac has the prototype done as far as I'm aware, and having seen a preview, it looks shit-hot. But the question remains: how are we gonna sell them? Do we wait until Clubs & Socs Day next year, or contact members by email or wha? And who is driving the bus on this one? I would suggest putting ONE person in charge of DVD sales (perhaps our shiny new PRO, Liana) and make that person also in charge of collecting monies for said sales, keeping an accurate record of said monies and thence passing them onto our shiny new Treasurer, Joey for lodgement to our account. Double yayness! I recommend getting in touch with Cormac & Lennox at 085 7208516 and 087 7604458 respectively and sorting it out between y'all. Cormac has also stated a desire to do a PhD here in DCU, so may be around next year... As for Panto / All My Sons / Randomness DVDs, well that's what is gonna keep me sane this summer in Clare. They should be ready (and fucking spectacular) by September. Events for next year: You should be coming up with a rough idea of what events you'd like to do next year, and try to assign production teams. JOHN, keep a record of this - we found out the hard way this year, when we couldn't remember who was down to produce what. Oops. Don't just say (for example) "Let's do the Panto in week 11" and assume the Panto will get done. Next year's 1st Year Rep may not be of the legendary status of our previous two 1st year reps. (*pats self on back*) . Write a script over the summer, see who wants to take it on and go with it! You should probably kick around ideas for next year's musical too...*prepares for a fight* Money for me: I have claimed back what I am owed for the Fiddler Trip and the flights to BICS directly from the SPC, which gets Drama off the hook a bit at least. If I add what I spent on the DADAs trophies to what Drama currently owes me, we are looking at about 1,650 - 1,700 bucks. Yayness. There have been other random spendings made by me over the course of the year which I am willing to overlook and write off, but I need a cheque for the above amount ASAP, what with the credit card companies kicking my door down at the mo. Broadway next year: During the summer is the time to get active on this - don't fret, I'll be around to help out with booking stuff etc BUT I am cancelling my big credit card as soon as it's cleared (I don't need the temptation that that kind of spending power gives me), which means we're in a bit of a spot when it comes to booking flights and whatnot. Our major issue is getting a credit card number to book 30 flights on Aer Lingus with. We need to kick around ideas & suggestions to combat this problem. Also: I feel that any more than 30 on the trip is a logistical nightmare. It was tough enough with 30, can you imagine a countoff with 50? Eeeep. Keep it at 30, and it makes booking flights/show tickets/hostel much easier. It also lends a sense of exclusivity to the project, and we'll sell it out in 15 seconds....*grins evilly* On a positive note, I will be around to go on the trip! My mate's wedding was pushed back a few months, so I am now available for abuse/tourguideness. Bring on Mullen's! But not the ice-skating. Webmaster stuff: Conor, you need to liaise with Charlie ( phaxx(a)redbrick.dcu.ie) to sort out getting access to the web control space for our site. Also, to determine what the deal is with the www.dcudrama.iedomain name and how much longer we have it for. We need to put up the new committee pictures, take down any broken / crap links and do something about the forum, which has been raped by spam of late. Would it be possible to get a new forum set up / link our forum button to the drama forum on life.dcu.ie? Charlie, Conor, we would appreciate your thoughts.... COMMITTEE MEAL / HANDOVER / PISSUP: I'm gonna put this out there, if ya don't like it, just send it on back...I wanna be on you. No, sorry, wait, I was thinking of something else... I have a suggestion for a monster uber-committee (& spouses?) meal-slash-session. As I have said to a few of you, my boss in Diep le Shaker has told me that if we came in for dinner, he would do his best to hook us up. It's a Thai restuarant, the food is excellent, the wine even better and the cocktails are kickarse. They play nothing but rat-pack music all night! I've told my boss that if we came in he'd have to hide us in a corner, 'cos we'd make a huge racket. He's got no problem with that! Check it out at www.diep.net... Now the catch is that it's bleedin' expensive. I would personally budget about 70 or 80 euro per head for a good night out. I know that's steep, which is why I have done nothing about booking the meal yet. I'm just making a suggestion, that's all. I think it would be great for us all to get out and have a great night out after the work we have put in this year. And sure bring the new committee and assorted girlfriends/hangers-on too! Now another option is the Hard Rock Cafe, a scene of more than one session last year, but curiously untouched by DCU Drama this year. But meh. Let's do something more interesting! I am suggesting Friday night the 19th of May - I fully realise that it's in the middle of exams, but at least it's a Friday night, which is a great night for a laugh in Diep! I could book a table for about 9.30 which would mean that we have the table for the night - any earlier means that the restaurant will want the table back and will rush us off it. Friday the 19th will be my last chance to get out with all of you too - I'm off to Clare the following day :( Talk about it at committee on Tuesday night, see what y'all think! Then let me know as soon as possible, so that I can confirm/cancel any potential booking. Once again, I realise that it's expensive, but don't we deserve a treat? I'd further like to see the ENTIRE committee there, which is why I'm giving y'all nearly three week's notice. Possible attendees: Bob Dave Eoin Shane Joe Joey Shelly Eoghan Steve Susan D Alan Lyndsey Siobhan Conor Liana John ...which makes 16, if we add spouses/hangers-on (Jenni, Susan B, John's bird whose name I can't remember, Siobhan's boyfriend Brian, Colm, other random girl/boyfriend types), we can make that 20 or 21.

[Drama-Committee] Small idea for next year.
by Charlie Von Metzradt 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hey everyone. I took part in the Boston Zombie March yesterday. Over 150 people dressed up as zombies, met somewhere in the city, and spent an hour walking, dragging, and groaning our way to somewhere else in the city, where we ended up in a bar. It was hilarious watching the reaction of the public, passing people in restaurants, groaning at them and leaving bloody handprints on the windows... great fun! Pictures here: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/zombie/ http://flickr.com/photos/aeroracere/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/fondofelves/sets/72057594120482829/ http://www.photos.juliechen.net/zombies/ Pictures from other zombie marches around the world: http:// www.halfwaytohuman.com/zombies Organiser's blog: http://www.halfwaytohuman.com/edithved/ And finally, here's me taking part in my DCU Drama hoodie! http://www.photos.juliechen.net/zombies/pages/Img067web.html Anyway, I thought that perhaps Drama could do this next year. The first Irish zombie march. Start on Parnell st, down O'Connell, up Westmoreland, TCD, Grafton, Stephen's Green... Could be a lot of fun, and might get DCU Drama's name in the news! Charlie
