Axl's Bday - LA Weekly hits the streets!!!

[spgunner]

Good news - Axl's Favorite Mechanical Bull can handle the tesk of shipping the LA Weekly copies to the fans by mail.

Now we only need to finish the art, find someone to manage the Paypal acount n' start to collect the money!!

This just occurred to me.

If the names are an issue due to lack of space, you can just write down a link under the hbday message that redirects to a webpage with the names (and another message?). It can be a direct link to a photobucket picture, a link to a thread on this forum, you name it.

Could be an idea but I don't think Axl would have time to get into a website n' look for it. I think it's way more cool to have everything inside the ad, don't you think?

[spgunner]

Here's Axlsalute's idea for the ad - let's see what people think:



The deadline to set up an account, book the space, and pay for the ad at the LA Weekly would be Friday, Jan 27th by 4pm.

Then we have till january 30th the deliver the art!

   This is a work in Progress and suggestions are welcome.. What we would should do is get this
tidied up and somehow sell this idea on facebook.. we have like five weeks. We still need a PayPal person..  I'll be posting alternatives later.  Gotta get to work right now.

Some people at Here Today Gone To Hell (Get into tha forum too!) like the art n' are suggesting an extra "congratulations" - maybe smaller than the Bday one, to congrat Axl for the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame too.
Can you make something?

We DO NEED someone in the US with a Paypal acount, fast!

As soon as people start putting money in a Paypal acount, this thing will turn into a positive snowball!

C'mon people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Axsalute]

I am on that!!     Nice to here people like it.  Like I said, Its a work in progress.. and I promise
it will go to press looking awesome  especially with the messages and what not. 

[spgunner]

I think we should make only one big message n' the names. If we start to put many messages, we'll have to deal with different amounts of money, it's gonna take more time too.

So far:

ART:
- Axsalute's Art with a few changes, maybe among them putting a congrats on the RNRHOF

Paypal:
- We need a person to handle the Paypal acount in the US

Money:
- US residents - U$13.00 for the ad plus U$4.50 for shipping of the LA Weekly = U$ 17.50
- Non US residents - U$ 13.00 for the ad plus U$ 7.00 for shipping of the LA Weekly = U$ 20.00

Shipping of LA Weekly copies:
- Axl's Mechanical Bull says he takes care of it.

We have more or less 30 people on it already - if we start the Paypal payments with the Art ready, more people will get inside.

[Axsalute]

We are 1/10th  (if u charge $10)  or 1/5 th (if u charge $20) of the way there!
Thats really good. .. I will have the new art up shortly I am cleaning it up quite a bit.
We still need a paypal.. SP.. Why do you prefer someone from LA.. I think in this digital age
we can do it from anywhere.  Hows about ... you.. We can trust you

[spgunner]

Sometimes I can't accept or make payments with my paypal acount because it's from Brazil.

A good example is Ashbaland - I couldn't buy some things there because I needed a US Paypal acount.

Thanks for trusting me

Anyway, if we had someone that is much more online, such as a moderator to handle it would be better off to let people ok about giving their money.

It doesn't need to be from LA but would be good to have someone in the US.

We already have Axl's Favorite Mechanical Bull to handle the shipping from LA. Now we need a person to handle Paypal.

Yo Ed!

 I will handle the PayPal if it is still needed. I've had an account on there for awhile and can make the necessary payment to LA Weekly.

Btw, I'm not digging the "U" in the art. Maybe just the word "YOU" would look better. ???

Anyway, I will help in whatever capacity is needed. Feel free to send me a message in my Inbox.

       Pax!

Hi there Matt!

Sorry taking to long to answer!

I think we are about to start this thing for real:

Matt accepts the Paypal payments to pay the LA Weekly

The art is being made by Axsalute - only some few changes maybe.
(agreed on the "you" issue lol)

Axl's Mechanical Bull will handle the shipping.

We only need to finish the art n' thnk about a fair amount of money per fan. My idea is:

US Residents + Canada - U$ 18.00 - U$ 13.00 for the ad + U$ 5.00 for shipping costs
Non US Residents - U$ 20.00 - U$ 13.00 for the ad + U$ 7.00 for shipping costs

We would need around 220 fans, more or less. If we start this thing fr real, it's gonna be easier to find more people.
