Re: Re: Dance security (was re: Bringing guests to conference)

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone,

This is Arnold.

There have been a number of posts recently about media access at the Seattle

Conference.

I'll be the one coordinating with the media during the event so feel to

contact me if you have questions.

I understand the concerns that people have about the media. I occassionally

run YouTube searches to learn if I've popped up anywhere because of someone

taking a random photograph.

My goal with the conference was to create a media plan that would allow the

organization to send a positive message and allow the media get a positive

picture of the conference while most importantly respecting the members and

their families in attendance.

With this in mind, in terms of when the media will be allowed to film, take

pictures, etc..., the following public events have been designated as open to

the media:

The program portion of the 50th Anniversary Celebration on Monday evening

The Expo on Tuesday and

The Awards Ceremony at the Banquet on Thursday evening

There also will be a news conference on Monday soon after the general

assembly.

In some cases, documentary crews have made some specific requests to film

private meetings or events that involve their subjects and a few others. That

will be fine as long as permission is granted ahead of time by all involved. The

same goes for local media that make specific requests.

The only group given full access to the event is a photograher named

and his crew. was hired as the official LPA photographer. His work

will be used for the LPA website, LPA publicity material and the LPA Today. .dd

Again, please contact me if you have any questions,

thanks

Not going to shoot you, and I think gave a good response. But I

do want to point out that on page 5 of your registration packet there

is a blurb about media being at the conference.

It is a fine line of providing positive exposure of LPA without being

invasive. For the most part, the local media will only interview LPA

officers, a celeb or two, and anyone who agrees to be interviewed.

As far as the releases being posted too high last year, I have an idea

of which crew that was (who also did not dress appropriately for the

event). That won't happen again.

,

Sounds like you have a great plan in place.

's work is beautiful. he's an extremely talented artist.

Just topoint out most professional photographers will ask their

subjects (those in the photos to sign waivers as well) If they aren't

doing that then I would be of concern as an organization.

i'm sure follows this practice since he has books and websites

that publish our members.

The Documentary crews must also get signed releases as well and they

should present them to LPA before being granted accesses to evens.

The Universal release for the public events should be placed in the

packets, in the programs and posted at no higher than 3 ' and 4' at

the entrances to said events.

I know that when my agency film commercials we have to go through

rigorous logistics to make certain nobody's face appears (in crowd

scenes) on TV that doesn't want be on, or could later sue for

monetary compensation.

Grady, Grady...this is not very self-serving. Let's face the truth here:

guys like you and I ain't going to get dates unless we have a captive

audience. I mean, seriously, how can we woo all those beautiful LP women if

we double the number of guys at a dance!!!! It doesn't matter that they're

not LPs, it matters that it makes the numbers sway against us!

No, no, no, bad idea...

(And don't fire back the counter-argument that the women will be doubled

too. I ain't interested in " tallies. " )

Gentlemen, gentlemen...is it REALLY true?!! That there are MORE available

LP men seeking dates, dances, or a captive audience than there

are available LP ladies during the conference?!! Is this really REALLY

true?!!

Well HOPEFULLY, Detroit will be THIS LP lady's FIRST ever conference, so

please know she will be most happy to dance, or be a captive audience when

not dancing, with the available LP gentlemen in Michigan that week. Soooo, if

you find you've been outnumbered in Seattle, DON'T LOSE HEART, FOR THERE

WILL ALWAYS BE DETROIT!!!

Whoo hoo hooooooooooo!!!!!

Adelaide, who is already looking forward to meeting everyone!

Well Grady, I am not a vampire myself, but I do have it on good authority

from Bram Stoker, Bela Lugosi, and Cushing that vampires do indeed

take advantage of preying on the blood of males too, if the situation presents

itself, although their preference is for the " fairer sex. "

So Bill, if I were YOU, I think I would be getting some crosses and

garlic

just to be safe...

Addy

>>>Never says never:P Cuz one day I'm gonna suck out yer blood too as I have

done with others on here, being the dwarf vampire I am! haha;)

Oh, wait, yer a guy, I think only vampires can bite on the opposite

sex, but I'm not sure? Any vamps in here to verify that? lol
