[MMD10] Tintango's MMD Fundraising thread

By Icarus. 08/06/10, 10:22 am

Yo~

So Kyokyogirl & I have decided to help Tintango with the finds going towards the dinner, as it turns out our $30 is not enough to cover the catering by itself (Tintango is kind enough to cover the rest by himself, but surely the least we can do is pay for our own food, right?)

So we need ideas on how to fundraise! We wanna aim for about $300~
the extra amount needed for catering is about $260, thats INCLUDING our $30 per person. So about $860 for catering.

I'm willing to do wig and photoshoot commissions (and maybe some cosplay props & hats)
but that can only go so far, so throw in your ideas on what we can do as a group or even by yourself~

Current suggestions:
- commissions (wigs, photoshoots etc)
- sausage sizzle
- basking
- bake sale

Go, go, GO!!

I'd like to help in any way I can! 8D

I'd be keen to pay for a photoshoot or commission something C:

We could try the age-old car washing fundraising?

Or perhaps... get people to sponsor us to do something wicked? Not too sure what we'd be doing, but I do recall Monrad intermediate doing the thing where they all ran in the ocean in the middle of winter...?

not sure about swimming in the middle of winter lol, but helping someone advertise in costume could be a possibility~

What about a sausage sizzle in cosplay 8D

**Guest** Guest

Busking?

Though you need a permit for that I think...

By Axelinn. 08/06/10, 12:56 pm

@Sausage Sizzle: Oooooh yeah. You could do the thing outside the warehouse where they
have the sausage sizzle. I can ask my parents if they know anywhere we
could do that, since they've done some sausage sizzling in the past~

@Busking: I think if you do it outside, then busking is fine. It's really only in places such as the Plaza or Downtown where you need a permit, though most of the time they say no :/

Then again, what would we busk? I can play flute, but that's about the range of my skills xD

I think from what I was told a while back, the mad butcher supplies you with sausages, whereas at the warehouse you have to buy your own.

you'd get more customers at the warehouse but you'd have to pay for sausages.

Also carwashing /could/ be fun!

**Guest** Guest

I have a guitar and a voice. And flutes be awesome.

I had to busk when I was a kid. Never again. But I like the sound of cosplay commission fundraising....we could put a thread up in the marketplace, dA, cosplay.com, etc~

By Icarus. 08/06/10, 01:08 pm

^ sounds good~

I can't really help out with the busking sweatdrop

so I think I'll stick with commissioning.
but pretty much sort out whatever methods you wanna go by and get as much money as possible!
(wait, that sounded forceful..)

And HAVE FUN!! 8DD

By Axelinn. 08/06/10, 01:12 pm

I busked once~ Did it in the Plaza, back when they still said yes to little kids xD

IT WOULD WORK IF ROKU DID IT. Preeeeetty voice~ *A*

But yeah. Maybe put up one main thread in the Marketplace and advertise it around dA and the like.

I dunno, one of my best bets would probably be sausage sizzling. I like
doing that C: We could do a few of them, too~ They'd get us some good
moolah.

Since when have you heard me?! [MMD10] Tintango's MMD Fundraising thread Icon_eek

And doing a whole bunch of stuff could be more effective than just doing one thing

By Icarus. 08/06/10, 01:17 pm

^ true~

so which event would we like to do first out of the basking and sausage sizzle?

By Axelinn. 08/06/10, 01:22 pm

Another idea to add to the pot; we could have a bake sale? Orrrr, thinking about it, maybe we could put in a table in a Sat/Sunday market? Baking wares and the like~ Or if anyone makes little plush toys? Those would be cute~

/unhelpful in deciding which first. Maybe sizzling it out~? C:

Hehehe~ I'm very good at stalking people >D
Butrly, I heard you one time we were all over at the sleepout. FFFFF. *A*

**Guest** Guest

I can make plushies >3<

By Icarus. 08/06/10, 01:29 pm

ok~ adding suggestions to the first thread.

Well if no one has any violent objections to the sausage sizzle, then meh, why not~

so what are the first things we'll need to sort out for a sizzle?
-location
-date
-costs involved
-equipment

perhaps gathering info on what're getting into would help us out too Wink

By Tails. 08/06/10, 01:35 pm

Yeah I think sausage sizzle would be a good start, hopefully the weather agrees with us! & the morning markets with crafts n stuff would work well too, I'll just need a cold shower to be awake that early.
One thing though, what are we going to say we're fundraising for? Not everyone knows what cosplay is, or a MMD, or might just think we're weird. We should think of something general, that seems like something that does need money saved for it. Like...'fundraising for a masquerade function/affair/event'

By Re-l. 08/06/10, 01:37 pm

@Icarus

Mistake me if i'm wrong, but you are quite handy with zee camera &photographyness right?

You could do a photoshoot of our costumes, and we could pay for the prints. But charge extra% ontop of the actual cost price of the prints,

That may help raise funds<_<

But, the money wouldnt be raised til after the dinner, thats the only thing -_-'

Unless you do it before the dinner

hmmm.

I'm no good at coming up with ideas.

By TinTango. 08/06/10, 01:39 pm

Oh yeah, Icarus is great with the camera. All those photos of the venue were hers!

**Guest** Guest

I wouldn't mind paying for a bag of sausages and bread if it'll help. No worries about being paid back either

By Re-l. 08/06/10, 01:53 pm

Hmmm.
I can make, felt stuff. like. Hair clips, necklaces and magnets, wall decoration thingys, wallets etc.
Little anime felt animu characters.

Ive tried selling them before, but no one really took interest TT___TT

By Icarus. 08/06/10, 03:02 pm

hmm, I was thinking we could say we're raising funds for a 'Costume Society' sounds professional enough haha (we just gotta keep it vague...)

aww, you're so kind Roku~ but I'll help you pay for it too, TEAMWORK PHWOAH!! //brick'd
so next we can pick a location, scout it out and see whats needed before picking a date, y/y?

@Re-l: I could do some shooting before the dinner, but I may have to be hands-off about it. I'm not too sure what will happen, but if the chance arises then I can if needed~

By Re-l. 08/06/10, 03:11 pm

I dunnaw how you guys do it in PN
But here in Orcland, the best sausage sizzles are outside the warehouse/mitre 10/mad butcher, and they usually have the BBQ with their advertisement on it fo you to use.

By Axelinn. 09/06/10, 01:14 am

As for places that do the sausage sizzle;

-Warehouse
-Bunnings Warehouse
-Mad Butcher

As said before in Kiki's post, I think Mad Butcher supplies you with sausages, though I'm not too sure how many you get. But the Warehouse gets more people.

I could also probably provide some sausages/bread/margarine/serviettes and the like. We have some giant tongs here that we could use, too C:

As for getting permission to use the place, I think maybe we have to ring the places? I'm not so sure, seeing as I've never actually done one there
