I am going to overnight the application to the parks service along with the $50 application fee TODAY. We need to get event insurance. TMG is making phone calls but it looks like it's going to be around $1000 and we need to raise it very quickly (by the end of the weekend at the LATEST. They say we can have the grounds all day on that date but we need event insurance!
More costs will come later with setting up a stage and getting better electrical, etc... but that comes after. RIGHT NOW we need to raise this money. We are going to use my Paypal address to collect the funds. Please donate if you can. My paypal email is interleave1@earthlink.net Thanks, Bob Ok - ongoing total: $1162.78 - 31donations! and counting! :-) - Last update on August 29, 2007 at 3:42 EST ================================================== ================================= http://www.pledgebank.com/ProFootball http://www.pledgebank.com/probaseball http://www.pledgebank.com/nascar http://www.pledgebank.com/collegefootball http://www.pledgebank.com/concerts http://www.pledgebank.com/canvass Last edited by Sematary; 08-29-2007 at 01:42 PM. |

What about getting a website together with at least an "Adopt an Iowan" like real time fund tracker. That gives people a little bit extra motivation... especially for a bigger, exciting event like this.

No time, but I'd be happy to keep everyone up to date. We really don't have much time on this. The Parks dept is going to get the app tomorrow and they're going to be asking for the event insurance and I'm going to tell them that we're shopping it around but we don't have much time.

How many people should we try to get there? Thousands? We should start making flyers and telling meetup groups...

The park can hold 5000 people plus the park is lined by a low fence that people can stand outside of. We want 10,000 or more. But FIRST - we need to get the insurance. We can work on spreading the word afterwards and once the insurance is in we can start contacting potential speakers.

The Special events coordinator says that the park isn't available that day.
The 10th is good. |

The 10th is better probably, since it's a Saturday. It gives people more travel time.
