Hey,
Study all day, missed the action!
Yes, everything Eoin said is completely valid. I want to only send ONE more announce drama e-mailing saying
EVERYTHING that our members need to know. I sent an e-mail to Bob saying not to send another announce drama e-mail. So, BEFORE I send the e-mail is there anything
VITAL i need to include- I don't wanna leave shit out and have to send ANOTHER announce drama e-mail. So could people e-mail what they think is important and i'll e-mail it tonight? THat sound goodish?
As for the DVD's, I'll adjust it so that it says cormac and joey are selling them. Joey, would you mind contacting Cormac on this one and getting hold of what he has?
If Liana could get posters up that would be great, but I think our biggest sellers are going to be the CAST. So i'm going to ask cormac for the cast list of names and numbers. I'll willing ring round on this one and get some buzz going. As for the poster, contact
cormac.fay@gmail.com- he has the orignal posters and I'm sure you could edit them (or ask cormac to) so that they say DVD €7- short supply. ON the subject of the posters- remember that we're tring to make a profit from these DVD's and if we plaster the place with posters I don't see a profit happening. I personally think calling each of the cast is the most efficient way, but a few posters wouldn't go a miss.
And yeah, some sort of Flashnox or something on the dcudrama webspace and Bebo, this would go miles in promoting the DVD... conor, i smell webmaster territory... (all things electronical and bleepy...)
Also, when defining chair, we left out ---> Should be in charge of organizing any foreign trips (or something to that effect) cus I think it's unfair to ask anyone else to organize it. That sound good? It'll also encourage future committees to consider having a foreign trip each year.
But if people could get to me TODAY about stuff for the announce drama e-mail- I'll rip through the minutes, but just in case i forget shit...
Thanks
Steve

Re: the DVD'SIt really has been taken out of our hands. The problem is that Cormac commutes from Tallaght on occasion and isn't on campus as regularly as Joey, despite him living on Res. I would like Joey to take the DVD's to his apartment and keep them there. Can we get in touch with Cormac about this? Posters should also be put up. Cormac has posted on 'Life' to attract interest from Alumni and they have also been e-mailed regarding this. To be perfectly honest, I think Laura hasn't done herself any favours by going through Bob (no offence) as he's no longer the DRAMA chair. This fact has to be ironed out to EVERYONE. There is now a new committee in charge of things and we do them our way. Steve, if you want to send out an introductory 'Announce' mail, simply announcing the new committee and giving a little teaser of things to come next year- incorporating the message for interested members in having ideas for shows next year...? Can we get trailers on Bebo? It would be good. Also, can Conor add this DVD news on our homepage- 7 euro- all members- a photo from the show/or the poster from the show- and a quick message like "Due to phenomenal demand, DCU DRAMA have limited copies of their brilliantly received musical, "Guys and Dolls", on sale now. Please contact " insert Joey's e-mail address here" and "Cormac's e-mail here" for details of how to get your copy! Move fast though- these are selling VERY quickly! Joey, this sound alright to you? You think you have the time to dole out DVD's to people and liase with Cormac on picking them up from him? Can we also put up the details of the DVD- chapter selection/ inlay/ official DCU DRAMA packaging/ credits/optional menus/etc? And how about "comments" from famous people on the musical...? Like, "a riveting, rip-rorous tour-de-force"- Roger Ebert or what The College View said about it, An Tarbh, Flashback, etc? I think Liana could maybe look into the poster side of things...a nice glossy re-hash of the show poster but utilising the same things that the publications said about the show...? www.collegeview.com has the College review and Bob wrote the review of the show for An Tarbh. Myself and himself also have copies of the Flashback that we're mentioned in. Also, the usual things like price, contact details and the fact that it's a DVD with special features, blah, blah, blah...This okay, Liana?Get back to me with your take on things...[eoc]

hey guysas 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
