Did everyone receive the update from the Newsies Mailing List about the 2009 summer convention?
I'll post it, I suppose. ^^
"Hi guys!
So, it's been some time since my last rally correspondence. There hasn't been much to say - everything that can be planned this far out has been planned, and it's mostly a waiting game. However, as spring is just around the corner, it's sort of do or die time. A lot has likely changed since most of you filled out your RSVP forms this past summer, so what I need from you is a more certain response as to whether you plan to attend or not. If you've forgotten details about the rally (which I imagine you have, since I'd forgotten quite a bit and I wrote it, lol), you can check it out here:
www.geocities.com/nmlrally/information.html
Again, the dates are July 17 & 18. Unless I get significant response that those dates no longer work for most people, from here on out those dates will be official. That will enable those who have to travel to make arrangements (for instance, buying airfare). I need your replies ASAP, and I will send out an email on Friday regarding rally status. I will also be sending out (hopefully at the same time) a travel tips email including how to get there, where to stay, etc. So, in your replies is the time if you have suggestions! Good hostels, nice hotels, bus or train options from your location, etc. I'll compile them together prior to sending out that email.
Also, if you are planning to attend (or even if you're not and would just like the t-shirt), please buy your t-shirt! If you would like a personalized t-shirt or other item, include that in your reply (specifically with what you want on it) and I'll put it up (we can only put those up for about 48 hours, so let me know when you plan to purchase it and I'll confirm with you and send you a link when I make it available). T-shirts and other rally items are at www.cafepress.com/nmlrally All profit (between $0.50 and $3.00, depending on the item) goes to rally coordination costs (binders, printing, attendance gifts, etc).
So again, please send your replies ASAP! Below is the form:
Name:
Plan to attend/unable to attend (if you are still absolutely uncertain, please include details):
Any tips for travelers on where to stay or how to get to NYC:
Any specific concerns/anything else:
Thanks!
Love Peace and Chicken grease,
Relic"
I won't be attending, but post if you will be!! ^^
Anwyay.
Maybe if everyone posted their states or something, I would LOVE it if we had our own rally in, say, 2010 or 2011?
Just get me some information, people! We could have an official Newsies Freaks convention. We could rent out some place or another and watch the film.~
Stay up all night and spaz about the newsies or anything else! And we could watch other musicals too.~
Just no RENT, mind you. XD I'd go insane. X3
But whatever.
Any other suggestions would be so sweet. =3
We can do this.~ It'd give us a great chance to get to know each other and grow in our insane Newsies ways. o.o
