Hey team,

So some of the other Activista Happy Hour host committee folks have been emailing each other the last few hours with an awesome idea.

I've pasted most of the exchange below (read from bottom up).

The short end of it is that VOCAL-NY is having a big DJed party the day when our next happy hour would be, and they are happy to join forces.  It would be at Frank's Lounge about 1.5 blocks from my house.

Everyone down?  

xx
Lucas

Whoooooo! I'll confirm Frank's. I just went by Cherry Tavern, but they sadly can't have loud Djs, which they were bummed by!

Lets party with vocal! We'll probably bring 40-50 folks judging by the last happy hours and I'm sure there's overlap. I make the Activista Facebook event a few weeks out so just make sure to send me final info and it will go up and I can even link to the vocal page as well. Sounds good y'all!

We won't charge a cover. We were planning to either pass the hat, or ask if people would like to give a donation at the door, but hadn't decided.

Don't mind having a MSP sign in sheet, but we'd wanna do the door and also have sign up sheet.

We have 1 or 2 DJs ready to spin, Frank's is pretty much booked, can be confirmed right when we decide and we may squeeze a drink deal out of them, but may just settle for being able to take over their space for the night

Coordinated synergy sounds great, BUT if at all complicated, we're ready to do a different night (which is also cool). We wanna decide very soon.

Ok, just CC’ing Jeremy here. Jeremy, it sounds like we would want to collaborate with you on July 18th! (ie. invite our folks to your party, highlight the Movement Space Project a bit – they have been partnering with Activista Happy Hour). Lucas has some questions in his email below. Re: location, sounds like Frank’s is good!

I would vote for collaboration... that essentially we join forces to promote their party but also count it as our monthly happy hour. This is totally the kind of cross-pollination and uplifting of movement org work that most excites me.  It will also have a built-in audience that will make for an impressive happy hour showing.  I call this synergy!

SJL is not 100% confirmed for July, and we could always team up with them another month.

Oh, and Frank's is 1.5 blocks from my house, so I'm kinda biased.

If others are open to this idea, I could also run it by Lara, Nadia and Sharon from the MSP crew.  The questions I'd have for VOCAL are: are they charging a cover?  what time are they starting?  would they be cool with us having a happy hour/MSP sign-up sheet there?


Thoughts?

Postponement + encouragement sounds like doing activista w vocal at franks, no? What about that? July 18 also happens to be my last day at work, so i was going to invite everyone I've worked with to come out. Lots of stuffs and things. I'll leave it to you people who are smarter than me to figure this out. I'm down for whatever. personally, I'd just like to invite my people to join us whatever we're doing.

Yeah, sounds great!!

About the FB invitation - do we want to keep having the hosts be individual people, or should we create the invitation through the MSP page? (Michelle, I think you already have access.) We could also create a separate Activista FB page, although Lucas & I did want to check in with everyone about whether folks are attached to the name...

Maybe let's add this to the agenda for next week?

3rd Thursday of every month.  So that would be the 18th of July.  Waiting for 100% confirmation from Jeremy at VOCAL-NY to see if they booked Frank's for that day.

I'm pretty attached to the name and would rather just keep it individual people as the invite and I can keep creating the invite.

Is there anyway we can just make MSP also a host on fb?

It works if we create it from the MSP account & then add people as hosts... But only the MSP name would appear at the top 'cause it's a page, not a person. In other words, hosts would be allowed to manage the event & add people & would have "(Host)" next to their names in the RSVP column, but they wouldn't be listed at the top of the invitation.

I'd really rather just keep it the way we do it now.

OK no problem, I don't have strong feelings about it. FB's so complicated!
