OK THE IDEA AGAIN: RTTP FUNDRAISING[views:13936][posts:61]_________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:38pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I'm talking benefit shows and compilations 2 goals: Raise awareness of Aaron's awesome project and Pay that fucker for his time and effort that he has spent on all of us and all of our shit Start the ideas now |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:39pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] We could get shirts printed for cheap, and he can sell them, though this seems to be an ongoing thing anyway. I really liked the last comp we did, I think it was a slick idea AND it helps us while we help Aaron thoughts? |
| _________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:42pm - sxealex ""] i owe rev 20 bucks... i said id pay 20 bucks every show he went to. and i didnt last show. so yea. i think i asked for his paypal address but never checked the thread. |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:42pm - Niccolai ""] a comp CD I think would be a good way to approach this. Get 20 bands to pay $50 to get a track on the CD, have 1000 CDs pressed (only 100 for the first run, so that way, the 50 bucks the band pays for covers the entire pressing cost). Sell them shits for 10 bucks a pop, The first thousand dollars made would go to pay for another pressing of 1000, and the rest could help pay for RTTP. also SHIRTS. Aaron, do you have a shirt design finalized? Def star is going to raise their prices soon, so now is the time to order from them. You'd make money to put towards the website expenses, and it's publicity. $4 dollars per shirt, let's say you order 50 shirts (200 bucks total), they will probably all sell at 10 bucks a piece. Which will land you about 500 bucks. 200 of the 500 pays you back for your innitial investment, and then the remaining money can go towards 50 more shirts, and website upkeep. I'm sure you already know all the math though. |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:46pm - Sinistas ""] I'm pretty sure DS would be up for the comp. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:49pm - RichHorror ""] Aaron should pay me for my time on this message board. |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:50pm - Niccolai ""] Yea right, you're the reason we don't have any pre-teen girls on this board anymore Rich. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2007 2:51pm - RichHorror ""] Um, ConquerTheBaphomet. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:23pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Yeah, $50 is no problem, so count us in for this too |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:23pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] just please please please let's get it professionally mastered this time |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:43pm - Niccolai ""] The body farm will definately do this once we have something recorded. |
| _________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:46pm - sxealex ""] everyone should go to dead air for this. it takes like 2 hours to record a song there. you can record live. it cost 20 billz an hour. quality is decent. sound would be faily consistent. I DARE YOU ALL. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:55pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] NeverStaySober is def gettin in on this shizzazzle... fo shizzles. |
| ____________________________________ [May 14,2007 3:56pm - RichHorror ""] IWEIPH would throw a track in for this. Where's Dead Air? |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 4:15pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] out in Amherst it's the guy from Ampere, Orchid, and Bucket Full of Teeth aka Will Killingsworth good dude, can do this quickly we could all share gear and have a day where like 20 bands just shoot through a bunch of songs... |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:17pm - mcmahon nli ""] FuckIsMySignature said:NeverStaySober is def gettin in on this shizzazzle... fo shizzles. sounds good. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:21pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I think this time we just get a few CDs each, then give the rest to Aaron to sell via paypal and stuff? That way he gets money. Seems the best way to make sure he gets money is to have the CDs come from a central source... |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:22pm - Niccolai ""] Only if he promises to make shirts. |
| _________________________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:24pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Shirts would be CHEAP to make one color = $4 a shirt I'd buy one for like $6-10 |
| __________________________________ [May 14,2007 5:40pm - Niccolai ""] if they were $10-12 shipped off the website, I'd be all over it. |
| _______________________________________ [May 14,2007 6:15pm - watchmaker666 ""] The problem with that idea is it would take up even more of Revs time. Shipping crap out all the time is a PITA |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 6:19pm - BlackoutRick ""] We down for the comp or any benefit show. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 6:57pm - the_reverend ""] well... these are all good ideas, but... 1) I don't like bleeding a stone. bands are poor and I don't like taking money from those that I support and who have no money. so Alex, keep your $20 and give me another copy of your CD for my portfolio (though I don't know why you needed 4MP pictures to make them into thumbnails. 2) for shirts/hoodies, I would rather spend a couple dollars more to get better quality than crap. I'm going to see about liberated images most likely cause they do a lot of the "quality" work I've seen lately. My friend making the design graduates in a week or so and I'll probably get the design then. In september, I want to make long sleeves with returntothepit on one arm and hobbyrocker on the other. 3) a comp is a great idea.. something with a hook too like a new exclusive goratory track with jay drumming for them. *hint**hint* but I wouldn't want to make money off of it. I would rather them be given out as free promo like the last CD. I was so proud of all your effort on that one. |
| ______________________________ [May 14,2007 7:03pm - yes ""] goratory track with jay drumming for them. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:03pm - atthehaunted ""] What about benefit shows? Their cheap and pretty easy to get together. If like 20 people or more gives around $10 we could rent a hall and the rest will pay for itself. Unless there's been other fee's since Chariots of Fire Fest but other then that we had to pay a cop and that was out of the money we made. We paid the bands with the money from the show and it was a great success so much so that we are doing it this year. Also I found out about RTTP from the Chariots fest I was like wtf the fuck is this flyer for grabbed and went to the site the next day and have been coming back ever since. Maybe an RTTP fest would bring in some big bux especially since the site is well known. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:03pm - atthehaunted ""] A benefest sort of. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2007 8:08pm - atthehaunted ""] In fact I bet alot of the bands would play for free and use the extra money to get some decent headliners. Like say All Shall Perish |
| ___________________________________ [May 14,2007 9:24pm - fishcakes ""] we will play |
| _______________________________________ [May 14,2007 10:06pm - atthehaunted ""] when we get a full line up we'd def play. |
| ___________________________________ [May 14,2007 10:56pm - brian_dc ""] I will kill unimportant humans for aaron. I'll put my band's name down for that. |
| __________________________________________________ [May 15,2007 12:19am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] yeah a comp sounds mad sick |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2007 5:36am - KeynoteCompany ""] I'd pick up a shirt or comp most likely. |
| _____________________________ [May 15,2007 9:59am - mOe ""] Mercury Switch will be recording this Summer, i'm sure we'd be fine with throwing a track on a comp or even playing a benefit show |
| _______________________________________ [May 15,2007 10:04am - the_reverend ""] where are your dreds now! [img] |
| _______________________________________ [May 15,2007 10:17am - JDDomination ""] We would get in on any of this: cd, benefit show, shirts. Whatever, put something together and DOM is in. |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2007 4:45pm - DomesticTerror ""] the ladies of rttp swimsuit/lingerie calendar. |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 4:52pm - the_reverend ""] it would be the only calendar with 3 months worth of pictures! |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:15pm - DomesticTerror ""] they can each have 4 months. i'm begging you. |
| _______________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:16pm - todayistheday ""] he gets in shows for free! thats his pay |
| _____________________________ [May 15,2007 8:18pm - pam ""] the_reverend said:. In september, I want to make long sleeves with returntothepit on one arm and hobbyrocker on the other. If you DON'T make good on this, I will hate you forever. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:22pm - RichHorror ""] If it doesn't have Rich Horror content it isn't an official RTTP long sleeve. |
| _____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:23pm - xanonymousx ""] i still want a rttp sweatshirt do you have any mediums or smalls by chance? cause it only says on the buy $tuff page you have large.... |
| _____________________________ [May 15,2007 8:23pm - pam ""] It should have your face right on the front. Or that picture of you lifting your shirt up. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:25pm - RichHorror ""] Clearly. Aaron is dropping the ball AGAIN. |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:26pm - atthehaunted ""] How aboot u have to buy a shirt to get into the benefest show and if not u have to pay? hmmmmmm |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:26pm - the_reverend ""] we could make every shirt smell like old dudes. would that do it? |
| _____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:27pm - xanonymousx ""] if that were to happen the shirt would sell out in seconds upon release. rich will become even more infamous than he already is! |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:28pm - RichHorror ""] Infamous means more than famous. |
| ____________________________________ [May 15,2007 8:28pm - RichHorror ""] the_reverend said:we could make every shirt smell like old dudes. would that do it? Wrong AGAIN, Aaron. You have to make it smell not like old men, but like failure. |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 9:02pm - atthehaunted ""] Ya but the shirts won't be like $5 either u have to make them a little more since it's buy one for two ya dig? |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 9:05pm - the_reverend ""] funny, I read the comment about not paying for shows and then I had to pay for my first show since fallen friends. |
| _____________________________ [May 15,2007 9:07pm - pam ""] That's when you say, "FUCK YOU NIGGA DONTCHU KNOW WHO I AM!?" and then you punch him in the mouth. Fuckin' man up! |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2007 9:23pm - the_reverend ""] I was think "to bad I can't say it's for the phoenix." but I can't, since I'm not, you know, carina mastrocola. |

| _______________________________________ [May 15,2007 10:17pm - the_reverend ""] robin ended up giving me what I paid at the door back. I feel back cause he'll lose even that much more now. |
