[09:09] Tor Karlsvalt thinks Gaius might have to fly during the meeting.
[09:09] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn) changes to midnight to check it out
[09:09] Rosie Gray: maybe you should sit on the table, on the edge of that bowl!
[09:09] Rosie Gray: hehe

[09:09] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh that looks cool. you make a great nightlight ;)
[09:10] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:10] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I thought I should get into the spirit of the season
[09:10] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): im gonna have to work on a parade outfit, i see
[09:10] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): ㋡
[09:10] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hehehe
[09:10] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Alright!
[09:10] Tor Karlsvalt wonders where is spring blue jeans are.
[09:10] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol
[09:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I just wanted to quickly meet to discuss plans.
[09:11] Rosie Gray: okay
[09:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): And see what your plans and opinions were and to delegate responsibilities, if you're all willing
[09:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Oh, BTW: this meeting will be transcripted.
[09:12] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn) nods
[09:12] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): We talked on the forum about having the parade on the weekend of 22 and 23 April
[09:12] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Does that weekend still work with all of you?
[09:12] Rosie Gray: sounds good to me
[09:12] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): it is fine with me
[09:13] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): hi mizou! :)
[09:13] Tor Karlsvalt: As far as I can tell it should be ok.
[09:13] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hi Mizou!
[09:13] Tor Karlsvalt: Hi Mizoui
[09:13] Tor Karlsvalt: Mizou*
[09:13] Rosie Gray: which day are you thinking preferably, the 22 or the 23rd?
[09:13] Rosie Gray: hi Mizou
[09:13] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:13] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I was thinking the 22nd, since it's a Saturday
[09:13] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): would that work with all of you?
[09:13] Tor Karlsvalt: I think that is after Easter, so should be ok
[09:13] Rosie Gray: yes same for me.. obviously sometimes things come up
[09:14] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i think you'd get better attendance ...and yes, easter is the weekend before
[09:14] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): better on saturday, i mean
[09:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): So, 22 April it is ㋡
[09:14] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): :)
[09:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Does anyone have a recommended time?
[09:15] Tor Karlsvalt: What is the path of the parade?
[09:15] Rosie Gray: yes I agree, Saturday
[09:15] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): Hi Tor, Sylvia and Rosie, and MrFairy
[09:15] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): what is the best window to accmoodate european and US time zones?
[09:15] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): early afternoon SLT?
[09:15] Rosie Gray: seems to be mid-dayish for that, Sylvia
[09:15] Rosie Gray: like noon, or 1 pm slt
[09:15] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): So, around 12?
[09:15] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): this kind of time?
[09:15] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): noon SLT would be great for me
[09:15] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Or do you think that's too late, Mizou?
[09:16] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ok that is GMT 6 o'clock
[09:16] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): not too late just dinner time :)
[09:16] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): after the time change it wlil be 6?
[09:16] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): (just making sure)
[09:16] Tor Karlsvalt: oh has the EU switched to daylight savings time?
[09:16] Rosie Gray: we've already had the time change
[09:16] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Riht now is 4pm, no?
[09:16] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i mean EU time change
[09:16] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): when do you have time change, GMT it will be the 26th
[09:16] Rosie Gray: aah
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): It as last week for us
[09:17] Tor Karlsvalt: That is an important detail.
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): SLT is GMT-8
[09:17] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes i want to make sure we aren't off an hour in our calculations
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, UTC-8.
[09:17] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ah, between SL time \and GMT there are 7 hours atm
[09:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): So, if we do it at noon, it will be 8pm
[09:17] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ok and then 8 by parade date
[09:18] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): what is the best time for you, mizou?
[09:18] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): SAturday is ok for me anyway
[09:18] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): so that you don't miss dinner :)
[09:18] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): i will eat sandwiches in front of PC lol
[09:18] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol!
[09:18] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): dedicated!
[09:19] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hah!
[09:19] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): totally and my daughter doesnt mind on a Saturday
[09:19] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): would an hour earlier be better? 11 AM SLT?
[09:19] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): So, 22 April at 12pm SLT
[09:19] Tor Karlsvalt: Sandwiches are good.
[09:19] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): :) scones too
[09:19] Tor Karlsvalt: :)
[09:19] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ok 4/22 and mizou brings dinner to share with all
[09:20] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): ㋡
[09:20] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:20] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Now, as to your question Tor, I have thought about the parade path
[09:20] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ok mizou will make the sandwiches lol
[09:21] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): :)
[09:21] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I was thinking we would start at th southern gate here in NFS and make our way either down to AM or through Friedsee and Monastery to CN and then finish at Locus Amoenus
[09:22] Rosie Gray: oh I like that idea... usually our parades end up in NFS, so the opposite direction makes a change
[09:22] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i think AM has clearer paths to follow?
[09:22] Tor Karlsvalt: ok, yeah, was just going to say
[09:22] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, and it would be easier if anyone has a float
[09:22] Tor Karlsvalt: FDS > Mon is across country.
[09:23] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes, though crossing the river one some of the bridges can be difficult, whereas FS > Monastery has wider paths
[09:23] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): *on some of the bridges
[09:23] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): We can give it a test
[09:24] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I have a standard float that we can use
[09:24] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh good, testing is a great idea
[09:24] Rosie Gray: testing with a float would be a good idea
[09:24] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Would the PIO(s) be able to help us with preparing, Tor?
[09:25] Tor Karlsvalt: I think Abby would be interested. Ariel is mostly into making copy and recording events and posting to FB.
[09:25] Tor Karlsvalt: I can ask her.
[09:25] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): That's good
[09:25] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I am already planning to advertise this to some other estates
[09:26] Rosie Gray: I think we need to attract LGBTQ groups from around the grid
[09:26] Rosie Gray: to participate
[09:26] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:26] Tor Karlsvalt: Ok
[09:26] Tor Karlsvalt: sounds good.
[09:26] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): we should post it in the SL forums (we = the PIO, i mean)
[09:26] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Calli is close with the people from Second Pride, too
[09:26] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): LL Just updated the forums so there is some interest at the moment and new people signing up
[09:26] Tor Karlsvalt: Speaking of SL forums, are they back online?
[09:26] Rosie Gray: yes, with whom to contact, and what information we need
[09:26] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes
[09:27] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes, tor, as of a few days ago
[09:27] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[09:27] Rosie Gray: and what they can expect at the event
[09:27] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes! And we can put it on the Events calendar
[09:27] Rosie Gray: of course
[09:27] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I have a notecard from when ROMA put on their parade, I can repurpose the rules there
[09:27] Rosie Gray: don't we need some kind of sign-up sheet
[09:27] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes ㋡
[09:27] Rosie Gray: oh that's good Gaius
[09:27] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): We need to know what krewes will be marching
[09:27] Tor Karlsvalt: Well I typically post things to the event calender.
[09:27] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[09:28] Tor Karlsvalt: What about other events?
[09:28] Rosie Gray: all events should be on the SL events calendar
[09:28] Tor Karlsvalt: like live music etc
[09:28] Rosie Gray: I think we might exhaust people's time and efforts with just the parade... (well it would me anyway)
[09:29] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I was actually hoping we could get a DJ to play music for the roads on the route
[09:29] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): typical Pride-like music
[09:29] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): or maybe at the end, at LA?
[09:29] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): parade ends, party starts
[09:29] Rosie Gray: that makes sense
[09:29] Tor Karlsvalt: ok, that would be doable, either. The roads must requires a bit of coordination.
[09:29] Rosie Gray: a DJ would probably be more appropriate, in this case
[09:30] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[09:30] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): DJ on the road, then party?
[09:30] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ((brb, laundry calls))
[09:30] Tor Karlsvalt: I think you should have a party at the end of the parade.
[09:31] Tor Karlsvalt: You have a DJ in mind?
[09:31] Rosie Gray: it would sort of become a party anyway
[09:32] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I have one, but I should talk with Calli too
[09:32] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): She would probably have recommendations
[09:33] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): We'll have to give thought, in addition to the route, decorations
[09:33] Rosie Gray wonders if there is anyone doing an Abba tribute group in SL
[09:33] Tor Karlsvalt: Maybe have flags along the route.
[09:33] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:34] Tor Karlsvalt: There used to be.
[09:34] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Maybe we can also have banners for the lamps and also those pennant flags
[09:34] Tor Karlsvalt: maybe not flags but those vertical banners on poles.
[09:34] Rosie Gray nods
[09:34] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Ah, yes, those are good
[09:35] Rosie Gray: you mean for participants to carry?
[09:35] Rosie Gray: or placed along the route?
[09:35] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Why not both? ;)
[09:35] Rosie Gray: sure
[09:35] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Haha
[09:35] Tor Karlsvalt: I have those little hand held CDS flags.
[09:36] Tor Karlsvalt: I could change the texture
[09:36] Rosie Gray: I volunteer to make some banners
[09:36] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Thank you, Rosie ㋡
[09:36] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i have a friend who offered to make hand held pride flags
[09:36] Tor Karlsvalt: That works.
[09:36] Rosie Gray: we could have a selection for people to choose from
[09:36] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn) would like a hand held CDS flag
[09:37] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i like that idea, rosie :)
[09:37] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I made a poster proposal and posted the template on the forum, but I admit it wasn't my best work ㋡
[09:37] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): i can work on the smaller CDS flag
[09:37] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): posater too
[09:37] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): poster too Gaius
[09:37] Rosie Gray: :)
[09:37] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Mizou, could you make an LGBT version of the CDS flag?
[09:37] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Like rainbow versions of other flags...
[09:38] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): yes, i can, if you give me clues as to how you see it
[09:38] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): http://www.madaboutflags.co.uk/ekmps/sh ... 3307-p.png
[09:38] Tor Karlsvalt: you could make a blue and white flag and have the background of the schield a rainbow.
[09:38] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): so you want that kind of texture behind the CDS flag?
[09:38] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com ... w8i85L.jpg
[09:39] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ohh i see
[09:39] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i just sent email to my friend to ask him to send me his flag
[09:39] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): when does it need to be made?
[09:39] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hm....
[09:39] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, 22 April is the parade
[09:40] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): oh plenty of time, so what about next weekend?
[09:40] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hah! Sure!
[09:40] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): i can send you the finished one by email to see if ok
[09:40] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Thanks ㋡
[09:40] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): OK on my todo list
[09:40] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): So, Rosie and Mizou are working on posters...
[09:41] Rosie Gray: I don't think I'll be quite as quick with some banners
[09:41] Rosie Gray: and yes I'll also do a poster... no reason we can't have a couple of them
[09:41] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Not to worry ㋡ I was thinking we could start getting ready by 15 April
[09:41] Rosie Gray: are we going to have a specific name for this event?
[09:41] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): :)
[09:41] Rosie Gray: I think we should be consistent with that
[09:41] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): CDS Pride?
[09:42] Rosie Gray: oh I think we should have some event details out as soon as possible, so as to attract participants
[09:42] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Pride for Democracy?
[09:42] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes we need to get the announcement out soon so people can work on floats and stuff
[09:42] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:42] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe, CDS Pride seems better.
[09:42] Tor Karlsvalt: or April Pride.
[09:44] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): CDS Pride 2017 (showing it is not a one time thing)
[09:44] Tor Karlsvalt: sure
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): CDS Pride 2017
[09:44] Rosie Gray: yeah, the year is good
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): That's good
[09:44] Rosie Gray: shows it is current, as well
[09:44] Rosie Gray: and not old stuff
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:44] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): All things considered, we don't have much time now
[09:45] Rosie Gray: yes we need to get the marketing out asap, I think... the part to attract participants
[09:45] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): the main thing is to get the outside participants on notice, i think
[09:45] Rosie Gray: I'll work on my visuals next week :)
[09:45] Rosie Gray nods at Sylvia
[09:46] Rosie Gray: and... Gaius
[09:46] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): let me know if i can help, rosie. i can't build much of anything but i do like to work with photos and art
[09:46] Rosie Gray: have you approached any of the people within the CDS who are LGBTQ? Just wondering why we don't have any of them volunteering to help
[09:46] Rosie Gray: okay great Sylvia
[09:46] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): that is a good question
[09:47] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Lil was on earlier, so I thought she would be here
[09:47] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I'll reach out individually to more people
[09:48] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): once we have a poster, it can be sent out as an invitation as well
[09:48] Rosie Gray: I realize that perhaps some don't want to 'out' themselves
[09:48] Rosie Gray: yes :)
[09:48] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): :(
[09:48] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, I don't think hat's the case for Lil and Tan, hah
[09:48] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): But there might be others who I don't know of... :/
[09:49] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): maybe this will be encouraging then :)
[09:49] Rosie Gray: yes
[09:49] Rosie Gray: there are that I know of, but of course it's not up to me to say
[09:50] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): even if those do not come out, they will at least know that this community is supportive
[09:50] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[09:50] Tor Karlsvalt: I really don't think we know who is LGBT or not.
[09:51] Tor Karlsvalt: It seldom comes up in conversation.
[09:51] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): well, in SL, we don't really know anything for sure lol
[09:51] Rosie Gray: :)
[09:51] Tor Karlsvalt: No, not really
[09:51] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): but i totally believe that gaius sheds glitter and can fly!
[09:52] Rosie Gray: yes, being a supportive and welcoming community is the real message
[09:52] Tor Karlsvalt nods
[09:52] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): you know what would be cool?? If we could light up some buildings
[09:52] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): like the white house when it had rainbow lighting
[09:52] Rosie Gray: oh great idea!
[09:52] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): hmmm yes, i have the perfect spotlight
[09:52] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Oh! YES!
[09:52] Tor Karlsvalt ponders a Rainbow Rathaus.
[09:52] Rosie Gray: and Archie owns some perfect lights for that
[09:53] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yay!
[09:53] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): I have some on the rathaus rebuild
[09:53] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Great idea, Sylvia!
[09:53] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): thanks :)
[09:53] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): that will help make a statement i think
[09:53] Rosie Gray: yes
[09:53] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes! Hahaha
[09:53] Rosie Gray: so where will the end point of the parade and party be?
[09:54] Rosie Gray: it should also be decorated up especially well
[09:54] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): in fact, if i can find some spare prims, i will light up my own buildings if i can figure out how
[09:54] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): think the Quay or beach in LA
[09:54] Rosie Gray: the beach sounds good
[09:54] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes, beach party!
[09:54] Rosie Gray: yes!
[09:54] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): or i can give you a copyable one Sylvia
[09:54] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): We could stop at the quay and walk over the bridge
[09:54] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): thanks, mizou!
[09:54] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh i like that, gaius
[09:54] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): do yu want it automatically going on and off?
[09:54] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): or manually?
[09:55] Tor Karlsvalt: Good, cuz floats might not make it over that bridge.
[09:55] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hah, yes
[09:55] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): automatic is good
[09:55] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol tor
[09:55] Rosie Gray: the lights that Archie has have different colours, and can rotate and spin and change too, and have a controller you put down
[09:55] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): so everyone can shed their floats on the quay and race over the bridge to the beach party
[09:55] Rosie Gray: so would be good for the party area
[09:55] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): oh yes we did get those too
[09:56] Rosie Gray: I used them for the Carnival to some great effect
[09:56] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): those sound perfect
[09:56] Tor Karlsvalt: The beach wasn't particularly sandy the last time I looked.
[09:56] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I can also make spotlights
[09:56] Rosie Gray: so we will be well lit, lol
[09:56] Tor Karlsvalt: oh speaking of Carnival, that is the theme of SL14B
[09:56] Rosie Gray: is it?
[09:56] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): we need something fun on teh sand, like confetti
[09:57] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh that sounds fun, tor
[09:57] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ohh good one :)
[09:57] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Ah, what if we had confetti in NFS and CN?
[09:57] Tor Karlsvalt: exploding confetti
[09:57] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): the more sparkle, the better
[09:57] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): ㋡
[09:57] Rosie Gray: we also need to keep in mind all of the LI restrictions on what we can do and still leave lots left over for the participants
[09:57] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): we can have the rathaus on SLB14 shedding fireworks every hour lol
[09:57] Rosie Gray: lol
[09:57] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol i like that, mizou
[09:57] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): :)
[09:58] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): also, yes, what rosie said. we need to keep that in mind
[09:58] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): luckily, confetti is not very primmy
[09:58] Rosie Gray: yes particles are fun and easy
[09:58] Rosie Gray: and don't even cause lag!
[09:59] Rosie Gray: oh now... what are we doing about prizes?
[09:59] Rosie Gray: we'll need to have some prizes for the best floats/participants
[09:59] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh yeah
[10:00] Rosie Gray: and some categories, perhaps
[10:00] Rosie Gray: this will attract people to put in effort
[10:00] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): nods
[10:00] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): trophies, maybe?
[10:00] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): that would be low cost
[10:00] Tor Karlsvalt: ok, we will need judges.
[10:01] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): or plaques
[10:01] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Tor, you should be one
[10:01] Tor Karlsvalt: or just have people vote
[10:01] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Oh, ya, that too
[10:01] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): There are competition prize boards, they're often used at clubs
[10:01] Rosie Gray: a trophy is nice too, but cash prizes really attract people
[10:01] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh do we have cash? lol
[10:01] Rosie Gray: we have some too, owned by Archie
[10:01] Tor Karlsvalt: Do we have a voting board. I think we had one for Oktoberfest.
[10:01] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): agree
[10:01] Rosie Gray: yes we have 2 of them Tor
[10:01] Rosie Gray: they work very well
[10:02] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Best float and best outfit?
[10:02] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I am willing to donate some money for prizes ㋡
[10:02] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe, well I suppose we could either ask for donations or use entertainment funds.
[10:02] Rosie Gray: you can have up to 3 prize winners for each board
[10:02] Rosie Gray: I don't have any money to donate, but I can make a trophy
[10:02] Rosie Gray: maybe Mizou can make another one?
[10:03] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): another ?
[10:03] Rosie Gray: so that we can have 2 top trophy prizes
[10:03] Tor Karlsvalt: Trophy sounds good
[10:03] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): my first thought was cash, but i didn't know if we had any to give out. cash and a trophy combined would be a great prize
[10:03] Rosie Gray: I do think some cash is a good idea, even L$500 for each
[10:03] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yeah it doesn't have to be a huge amount
[10:03] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i'd be happy to get L$500 lol
[10:03] Tor Karlsvalt: If we do prizes it might be best for the floats to line up on the road behind the beach.
[10:03] Rosie Gray: so would I! hehe
[10:04] Rosie Gray: yes good idea Tor
[10:04] Rosie Gray: and then the voting boards can be put to use
[10:04] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes ㋡
[10:04] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Why not "best crewe" in case people decide not to do floats?
[10:04] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): oh good idea
[10:04] Rosie Gray: yes I like that
[10:05] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): we want to encourage marchers, not just those with floats
[10:05] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): nods
[10:05] Rosie Gray: yes
[10:05] Tor Karlsvalt: true, marchers could have costumes
[10:05] Rosie Gray: and people can ride their horses, or cars or bikes or whatever
[10:05] Rosie Gray: but we'll have to give a maximum number of LI for anything rezzed
[10:05] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): or unicorns
[10:05] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): we will need someone to actually lead the parade, of course
[10:06] Rosie Gray: maybe Gaius?
[10:06] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes
[10:06] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): as a fairy?
[10:06] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): even better
[10:06] Tor Karlsvalt: Grand Master
[10:06] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hah
[10:06] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): follow the glitter!
[10:06] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[10:06] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): lol
[10:06] Rosie Gray: do we need a Pride Queen?
[10:06] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, also, 32 prims are the max to the vehicle
[10:06] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): you know, when bay city does their annual parade, vehicles have to be worn as attachements
[10:06] Tor Karlsvalt: maybe have glitter on the road
[10:06] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yes, I was going to say that, Sylvia
[10:06] Rosie Gray: yes was thinking that Sylvia
[10:07] Tor Karlsvalt: oh
[10:07] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): it works well
[10:07] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): and cuts down on lag
[10:07] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Also! We could see if some pilots want to take part too
[10:07] Rosie Gray: oh good idea
[10:07] Tor Karlsvalt: I have to try that out
[10:07] Tor Karlsvalt: I was just thinking of an old car.
[10:07] Rosie Gray: maybe they could do a flyby with a big banner in tow
[10:07] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): even the floats are worn
[10:07] Tor Karlsvalt: maybe deck it out
[10:08] Rosie Gray: I think we would need to have a basic float to give out that can be worn
[10:08] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): agreed
[10:08] Tor Karlsvalt: Good idea
[10:08] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i may have one, actually.....oh gaius said he does?
[10:09] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Yup
[10:09] Tor Karlsvalt wonders if he should put some that Power's Irish Whiskey in his coffee.
[10:09] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): It's outside actually
[10:09] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): is it wearable?
[10:09] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): good idea Tor, it really warms you up
[10:09] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): No, but it's pretty basic
[10:10] Rosie Gray: we need a wearable one
[10:10] Rosie Gray: to reduce the lag
[10:10] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ok one sec, i'm working on getting a wearable one from marianne
[10:10] Tor Karlsvalt: We should encourage parcel owners to decorate too.
[10:10] Tor Karlsvalt: I can send something out on that.
[10:11] Rosie Gray: I am wondering if we should have the parade open to other special interests... don't know if that's appropriate or not
[10:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): The float base I have is pretty basic, and people can wear their decorations
[10:11] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ok, i have wearable float, instructions, and permission to freely distribute! :)
[10:11] Tor Karlsvalt: nice
[10:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): It is done in RL Rosie, and it might get more involvement
[10:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Oh!
[10:11] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Well, Sylvia!
[10:12] Rosie Gray: that's what I was thinking
[10:12] Rosie Gray: that's great Sylvia!
[10:12] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Good, Sylvia -- can you send that to me? I'll include it in my NC
[10:12] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): one sec and i lwill share with all of you
[10:12] Tor Karlsvalt: sounds good
[10:12] Tor Karlsvalt: Maybe have it someplace for everyone to get too.
[10:13] Rosie Gray: let's check it out first though
[10:13] Tor Karlsvalt: maybe an object giver on the platz and other places
[10:13] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[10:13] Rosie Gray: oh lots of choices in this pack, Sylvia
[10:13] Rosie Gray: perfect
[10:13] Rosie Gray: and good instructions
[10:13] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Thank you, Sylvia ㋡
[10:13] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes, that is what is used in bay city. marianne is awesome :)
[10:14] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): and she's very interested in our parade. i told her she will get a copy of the poster when it's ready
[10:14] Rosie Gray: this will make it much easier to have a lot of participants
[10:14] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): :)
[10:14] Tor Karlsvalt: my float will just have land sale info. ;)
[10:14] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol
[10:14] Rosie Gray: hahah
[10:14] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Rosie, when will you be able to get me the poster?
[10:15] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Hahaha, Tor
[10:15] Tor Karlsvalt: My motto is, you step on it, you own it.
[10:15] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[10:15] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): well then i own all of CDS
[10:15] Tor Karlsvalt: haha
[10:15] Rosie Gray: I'll work on it next week Gaius, and Mizou is making one as well
[10:16] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i had my head in inventory, did anyone try out the float?
[10:16] Tor Karlsvalt chalks up the tier payments.
[10:16] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): you gotta catch me first, tor
[10:16] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[10:16] Rosie Gray: I was going to but realized that here is the basic float
[10:16] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): its big!
[10:17] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): It's huge!
[10:17] Rosie Gray: it's too big for our roads
[10:17] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i'm sure it can be edited
[10:17] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): can't it?
[10:17] Rosie Gray: so we'll need to adjust it before giving it out
[10:17] Tor Karlsvalt: Good idea
[10:17] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): nods
[10:17] Rosie Gray: yes it's fully modifyable
[10:17] Tor Karlsvalt: and specify the size
[10:17] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): excellent
[10:17] Tor Karlsvalt: just in case.
[10:17] Rosie Gray: yes, or nobody will be able to negotiate the narrow roads
[10:18] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): I have a silly question...
[10:18] Tor Karlsvalt: At least going downhill is easier.
[10:18] Rosie Gray: here's the bicycle
[10:18] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): What goes onto the float, do we have a theme other then LGBT?
[10:18] Tor Karlsvalt: Good point
[10:19] Tor Karlsvalt: Should there be a specific theme?
[10:19] Tor Karlsvalt: Any gay anniveraries?
[10:19] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I think that should be up to the crewes to decide what their theme is
[10:19] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[10:19] Rosie Gray wears the car float
[10:19] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ok
[10:19] Tor Karlsvalt: nice set of wheels
[10:20] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): My motto for this is "it'll be lit"
[10:20] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[10:20] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): is it easy to manage Rosie?
[10:20] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol
[10:20] Rosie Gray: these are great
[10:20] Rosie Gray: yes very easy, you just wear them
[10:20] Rosie Gray: and have your AO turned off
[10:20] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): and link other stuff on it?
[10:20] Rosie Gray: yes
[10:20] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): ah good to know rosie
[10:20] Rosie Gray: instructions in the notecard
[10:21] Rosie Gray: maybe Gaius, you should determine the size for the basic float and edit it so that it fits on our narrow roads?
[10:21] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): good idea
[10:21] Rosie Gray: the other ones will fit, I think
[10:21] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes and then the instructions can just say not to make it bigger
[10:21] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): we dont want big mastodonts on our pretty roads
[10:21] Rosie Gray: right :)
[10:21] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) nods
[10:22] Rosie Gray: well they just won't fit
[10:22] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): How wide are the NFS streets?
[10:22] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): the car one?
[10:22] Rosie Gray: you will have to test, especially going around the bends and such
[10:22] Tor Karlsvalt: Leaving through the south gate might be a problem at the clock tower
[10:23] Tor Karlsvalt clarifies that this is not an indication that the clock tower is being replaces.
[10:23] Tor Karlsvalt: replaced*
[10:23] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): floats can not be more than 3-4m wide
[10:23] Rosie Gray: if it fits through there, it will fit the roads too
[10:24] Rosie Gray: so, the to-do's we have are: Gaius edits the float to fit our roads and for us to give out, and makes up the notecard with rules
[10:24] Rosie Gray: Mizou and Rosie will make banners and trophies
[10:24] Rosie Gray: what else?
[10:25] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): tor gives us money for prizes
[10:25] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): trophies
[10:25] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): sorry didnt see it
[10:25] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Haha
[10:25] Tor Karlsvalt: Well I will post it to SL Events.
[10:25] Tor Karlsvalt: hehe
[10:25] Tor Karlsvalt: What kind of prizes btw.
[10:25] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): I'm working on the parade NC right now
[10:25] Tor Karlsvalt: 500L 1000L 250L
[10:26] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): L$500 for winner in each of two or three categories
[10:26] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[10:26] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): so not too bad on the budget :)
[10:26] Rosie Gray: Tor, will you be using Archie to get the lights and the voting boards?
[10:27] Rosie Gray: you can set specific people to be able to manage the voting boards too
[10:27] Tor Karlsvalt plucks a few feathers off Minerva
[10:27] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): lol
[10:27] Rosie Gray: so should probably add all of us as managers on it
[10:27] Rosie Gray: it/them
[10:27] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[10:27] Tor Karlsvalt: I suppose Archie has it.
[10:27] Rosie Gray: he has two of them
[10:27] Rosie Gray: they are no-copy
[10:28] Rosie Gray: and he has the display lighting system
[10:28] Tor Karlsvalt: Well are they synced together?
[10:28] Rosie Gray: the voting boards? no
[10:28] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): sorry RL calling for making dinner
[10:28] Tor Karlsvalt: ok Mizou
[10:28] Rosie Gray: you have two different ones
[10:28] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): enjoy, mizou :)
[10:28] Rosie Gray: see you Mizou ㋡
[10:28] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): see you all later at RA meeting
[10:28] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): i am hoping we get a break before the meeting as well
[10:29] Mizou (mizou.vavoom): bye for now
[10:29] Tor Karlsvalt: yeah, at 11
[10:29] Tor Karlsvalt: ok see you
[10:29] Rosie Gray: I am going to have to leave shortly too
[10:29] Tor Karlsvalt: yeah
[10:29] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn) needs some lunch
[10:29] Tor Karlsvalt: I could make lunch.
[10:29] Rosie Gray: I am sadly not going to make the RA meeting as I have RL committments
[10:29] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Darn :(
[10:29] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): :(
[10:29] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Have fun though, Rosie
[10:29] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): And thank you for coming!
[10:29] Rosie Gray: I will ㋡
[10:30] Rosie Gray: Tor, you might want to get Archie and have a look at those voting boards
[10:30] Rosie Gray: they are very useful
[10:30] Rosie Gray: you can have up to 3 winners at a time (I think) for each one
[10:30] Rosie Gray: 1st, 2nd, 3rd
[10:30] Rosie Gray: and they give out the prizes
[10:31] Rosie Gray: people love those things for some reason, lol
[10:31] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): should we agree to meet again next weekend to see where things are?
[10:31] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): that gives tor time to test the boards, time for posters, etc
[10:32] Rosie Gray: I am out of town next weekend
[10:32] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): ah ok
[10:32] Rosie Gray: Friday to late Sunday
[10:32] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): well another day then?
[10:32] Rosie Gray: sure
[10:32] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): gaius can send another doodle thing maybe
[10:33] Rosie Gray: good idea ㋡
[10:33] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Sure ㋡
[10:33] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): RA meeting is in less than 30 minutes. i suggest we wrap it up for now
[10:33] Tor Karlsvalt: Sounds good. I know I am free next weekend. Weekend after that I might have to work OT
[10:33] Tor Karlsvalt: ok
[10:34] Tor Karlsvalt nods
[10:34] Rosie Gray: yes I need to go
[10:34] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): Ya... I need to do this work and then relog before the RA
[10:34] Rosie Gray: we made a good start!
[10:34] Sylvia Northman (sylvia.tamalyn): yes!

[10:35] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker) waves to everyone else
