making

project update

- 5th March is the new event date. Timing will be approx 5am-4pm.

- magpiecollective.com needs to be up and running as soon as possible, so we can get Marie Curie to link it on their website. Everyone please email Bernie and Kitty images of your work/websites.

- Marie Curie will organize most of the press stuff, but once we get the website up, we can start generating a buzz too (but keeping it fairly mysterious, it is a teaser campaign afterall). They are going for tv, daily press, the London Eye etc. We are in charge of the viral side of it - internet, word of mouth, guerilla-style.

- We may be sharing Trafalgar Square with another artist/events. There will be collectors in the square. MC will be taking care of the fees and insurance, hurrah.

- We might need to hire a van. Does anyone know anyone who has a van, so we can transport these daffs? I think we definitely need more than two small cars, since the heads are already taking up so much space and we have less than a quarter made.

- Daffodils will most likely be placed in between the bollards/rails around Nelson's column and the lions. Subject to Trafalgar Square permission, hopefully we will get a meeting with them to discuss this.

- More materials needed. Polystyrene or foam or something that won't dissolve (in case it rains). We are still aiming for 200, if not more (for spares).

Any other burning concerns or questions?

website identity

Here are the modifications made following our meeting on tuesday 13th of january 2009

Trafalgar Square reply

Dear Alex,

Thank you for the below.

I am afraid however that we do not permit installations of the below nature on Trafalgar Square, we also can only permit charity applications from the charity direct.

I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.

I would recommend you perhaps contact Westminster City Council (020 7641 2390) to ask about Leicester Square or the Covent garden management team.

Many Thanks

Squares Management Team

MC

Kim boy and I met the PR team on the 9th of december for a meeting.

- a teaser campaign leading to a one-day event in trafalgar square
- january 28th or february 2nd for the event
- press release needs to be written and sent out soon, if not in the New Year
- newspapers, radio, tv coverage

I am still trying to get in contact with the GLA but since the woman is always away from her desk this is seeming to be a problem.
Also, we need to come up with a list of where daffodils can be placed for the teaser campaign. Ideas please?
