[WXBH-Discuss] IMPORTANT INFO

[Aron Conaway]

My Computer is back to the land of the living!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.

A few issues:

FOURTH OF JULY: It seems as though most people wanted to take the coming 
holiday off from radio. So it was decided no meeting July 4th. I am 
concerned about the short period of time we have left in July after that, 
leading up to Forecastle. We may want to consider making the monthly Board 
Meeting short on the 11th and focusing mostly on radio business. (For those 
not present at the last meeting, it was decided that the Brick Radio 
Collective would temporarily step into the Board of Directors position at 
the Brick House until we are on the air.)

RADIO COMPUTERS: Corey and I (mostly Corey) went to the Computer Room at the 
Brick House last Thursday and worked on getting one up and running. Seems as 
though we can pull something together, but we really need some more, better 
computer components. If anyone has access to any decent donate-able 
computers or knows someone who can give us a good machine, we are definitely 
in need. RAM (Memory) is one thing we need badly. Corey can tell us what 
kind exactly…  Corey, I have a Pentium III processor that we can throw into 
the right machine.

CONTENT: I am working on a brochure that we can pass out to solicit 
submissions from potential show producers and organizations for the 
webstream.

XEROXING: Does anyone have access to free copying services?

LEO MAGAZINE: It appears as though Stephen would like to do the story on the 
Web Stream if we can (depending on antenna status and all ;) This would 
likely coincide with the Forecastle weekend or could be a week or so later.

FORECASTLE: I guess we can call the following email bellow ‘confirmation’ 
for our table at the Forecastle Event. We will have some sort of  badge to 
get in and will have to swap them at the gate to get our volunteers in (no 
free admission for the entire day). We can coordinate how to make this 
happen as we get further into the month of July.

Again this is going to be a great, if not our best opportunity to get the 
word out and get some listeners and possible support. We need to do our best 
to evolve our aesthetic presentation of WXBH, even to an impressive and 
inspiring level. So anyone with some ideas and time, let’s get this 
outreach/ marketing committee off the ground!

Interested in feedback on these issues, Aron
