    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 2 )


  • Post #12 - Aiwin was going to suggest that our mascot be our own character. (Like a chibi jrocker.)
  • Post #13 - Cheministic posts a thread update for the current thread, and will post updates to a blog.
  • Post #15 - Our affiliate question has been answered.
    • " OUR AFFILIATE QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED! The good news is JRR is willing to support us wholeheartedly on our project. The slight downside is they won't affiliate with us right now since we are still in our baby stages and they are looking for professionalism and our state to be strong and firm with our structure. But when they feel we have achieved this goal they will gladly become an affiliate for us. I personally find this very good, all we have to do is become more established with passing time and we shouldn't have too many worries ^_^." (Post by Akiyoshie)
  • Post #16 - VM likes Aki's idea and thinks she might be able to incorporate it into the robot idea.
  • Post #17 - Maria added a poll to the thread.
  • Post #19 - Diva wants to know if she could edit some things on the website, MySpace, and LJ (for grammar and such).
  • Post #20 - Murasaki feels that we might be trying to get things done too quickly. Maybe it might help if we slowed down a bit and focused on first things first.

    • She thinks that meeting once a week (like every Monday) would be good.

    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 4 )


  • Post #37 - Shin forgot about the Fourth of July, and thinks that we could move the meeting to Monday or this Thurday.
    • She likes VMs graphic, but would only suggest that the part about Yumeko's thread might be unnecessary, since hopefully the people seeing it won't be members of JRR.
  • Post #38 - VM fixed her gif. She was thinking that when we pick a mascot, she can add it to the cover.

  • Post #53 - Pokyu asks if we have decided which companies to contact.
  • Post #54 - Shin says that to get into the chat:
    • Go to the normal flashchat.
    • Find where it says 'community chat' and click that.
    • You will see an option for another chat. It will say Pro-JECT.
    • Click that. It will ask you for a password. The password is hourglass.
    • Then you'll be in.
    • She also says that we briefly mention which companies to contact, but we can either solidify it on Monday or hold off until after we've contacted the J-rock artists. We can discuss it in the chat, though.

    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 12 )


  • Post #111 - Ragga suggests the Avalon Ballroom in Boston, MA for a venue.

    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 13 )


  • Post #122 - 静一様 requests that Rentrer en Soi be put on the list.
  • Post #123 - Cheministic updated the blog notes and posted Shin's meeting notes. She can post the meeting notes every week.
    • She won't be updating tomorrow, and possibly for the next few days.
    • She suggests that people who aren't from JRR (and thus won't be mailing Shin) could possibly scan handwritten letters to send.
      • It would protect Shin's privacy and keep it personal.
    • She doesn't see Tal and Masato from The Underneath on the Official MySpace.
    • Chem looked up the postage and says that according to USPS, it would cost 94¢ to send a letter (1 oz. or less) to Japan.
  • Post #125 - Shintotchi will try and look into the postal costs for sending to Japan.
    • She was also thinking about scanning letters.
      • The only problem is that sometimes scanning doesn't come out very readable.
      • People also might not have the resources to print out the stationary, write on it, scan it, and email it.
      • It will, though, be an option.
    • She friended Tal and Masato (and quite a few others) but they haven't accepted yet.

    • We now have 225 members on MySpace.
  • Post #126 - Ragga asks how expensive this will be for Shin.
  • Post #127 - Pokyu guesses that it will be around $0.99 (as that's what it cost her to send mail to Australia).
  • Post #128 - Ragga asks if Shin will be sending the letters individually or in a package.
  • Post #129 - ^ Shin will look up what would be better. She needs to know if the stamps themselves, or actually going to the post office and saying that you need to send it to Japan makes the letters expensive.
    • If it's the stamps, it shouldn't be too expensive, as we have to buy the stamps and put them on the letters.
    • If it's the cost of sending them, she'll separate the letters by band (and member if she has to) and mail them in a box.
  • Post #130 - VM says that if money comes up with sending the letters, we could always send in 2 or 4 dollars or something with the letters to help with the cost if it comes down to that.

  • Post #136 - Tsukiko liked Aki's email update, but thought we were mailing the letters to Shin. (She wants to clear confusion.)
  • Post #140 - Aki says that we are mailing the letters to Shin, and have to PM her for her address. The print thing is for those outside of JRR.

    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 15 )


  • Post #142 - Shin posted guidelines for all three letters.
  • Post #143 - Aiwin asks for Lolita 23q to be added to the list.

  • Post #158 - Ragga talked to a kid who said he was trying to get a few of his friends to join.
  • Post #159 - VM thinks that t-shirts would be great. Also, if we want to try and make and sell things to raise money for us, we could make a poll asking if people would buy it. We could maybe mentino how much the items would cost too.
  • Post #160 - Aiwin was just thinking about making shirts for the staff. (If we got a band to come, we could wear them.)
    • She doesn't know how many people would buy regular Pro-JECT shirts if she made them.
    • She can also make buttons, bracelets, and stickers. (These, though, could cost a bit without a discount.)

    ____________________________________________________________________________ ( 17 )

    • She thinks that the merch poll is a good idea, and will probably make up a contest for designing the merch.

  • Post # 167 - Shin will try and let the people on MySpace know to sign the petition. She's gotten quite a few people saying that they'd love to help, so she'll try to contact them.
    • She thinks the shirt idea is awesome. She asks if Aiwin knows how to screen-print or if she's talking about making shirts with paint and glitter, etc.
    • She will try and get on making the stationary by the end of the week.
  • Post #168 - Aki thinks that maybe she should change the Subscription name and put mailing list or something. She says that we take over the first two pages on google.
  • Post # 169 - Aiwin says that she was thinking screen print (regarding the shirts) but could do paints and glitters. She can also tie-dye .

  • Post #187 - VM points out that not a lot of people read bulletins. We could try that first though.
    • We could also make one about the mailing list on the official site.

      • Also, though discussing money is important, it won't cone into our plans until a year or so from now. It's best to leave that discussion for later.

Sabina, I have no idea what you're talking about. (You might have the wrong blog.) Thanks for the link anyway.

Also, if you're into Jrock and live on the US East Coast, you should check out Pro-JECT. :)
