Event

(31/10/07) Hello there Everybody,
First of all i can't wait to start organising this and to be honest I rekon its gonna be GREAT!
well you all know about the miricle of Throwies, well me, Joshua Lines (with the help of Neibourghhood) are going to organise an event Specially for the little buggers.
We are just going through some first ideas at the moment but already we have settled on a location, so all we have to do about that is speak to the council (and a meeting for that has already been organised) Although we aren't sure on what exactly is going to be in the event and what to call it we have some ideas, these are:

• covering the bandstand in metal sheats and covering it with throwies,
• getting a huge projector to show some of the VJAM pieces.
• using the projector to show some other moving image pieces,
• Having a DJ or 2,
• Maybe a couple of live bands?
• sh*t loads of throwies,
• did i mention the throwies?

Anyway we are pretty open to ideas at the moment as we are in extremely early planning stages of the event.
also if you would like to be involved in the organising of the event then feel free to talk to me, Josh or Nicola.

Ok then, an update (01/11/07)

Well after discussing between the three of us we have come up with what we want to be in the event definatly! these are:

• THROWIES
• LAZER TAGGING
• Live Art
• Centre Screen???
• Hinckley and Bosworth Youth Council?
• Vjam Live edit,
• DIY lazer tag.

these are awsome things to do, and we hope to get a huge responce! but we shall work on it some more.

We Have also come up with a time line for the event with it being held in Feburary Half Term!!

More Soon..

(16/11/07) ok then me (Hybrid Design) and Josh Lines, (Slight of Hand design) went to the youth council Executive meeting last night to put forward our idea, This went really well especially when we told them about the laser taggign system. so well in fact they OFFERED to buy us the projector we needed so i am going todo some research into ho much the projector we need is going to cost and then start to compile a budget.

Short Skills Throwies

The brief we have been set is to create and use Throwies. These are small LED lights attached to a battery and taped to a magnet.the purpose of the throwies is to create pretty non-perminant graffiti.
I quite like the idea of throwies, I dont like graffiti when itis used as graffiti and not art. when it is used as art I it can be verry astheticaly pleasing, and it can transform something dull into a someting great to look at. So the idea of temporary graffiti is appealing to me, and many othre people i am sure, to create art, then take it off if its crap, then create another one. To me its great. Also it means that you can edit your design, take it off, start again, and it doesnt cost. Which is good, as i am Skint.
