Hey... so I was talking off-forum to rbcp and Sidepocket and as long as I don't have to prepare anything, I am happy to talk, answer questions, sell stuff, be vanna white, whatever.  Let me know

I'll also give Cal a call and see if he wants to contribute anything.

==Current PLA Panel Outline==

--Introductions--

RTF = Main Speaker
Murd0c = Speaker/Laptop Person?
I-Ball = Speaker
Sidepocket = Speaker/Useless Man

::Possible::

jammie = Speaker/Token Girl Phreak
RogueClown = Whipping Vagina
rbcp = Leader We Give Blame Too
Big-E = Heard he was around, don't know him.
Judas = Fell off the face of the earth IMO

--Phone Mobbing Update--

Show off best phone mob clips. Hopefully in the next month we will have a new one.

--PLA Radio--

History Recap.
Best of PLA Segments.
Best Voice Comments.

--PLA TV--

History Recap.
Best Segments.

--PLA Rick Rolls Audience--

Full Version of our own song.
Outside of this thread, nobody else knows.
Element of surprise.
Put together a video with text so people can sing along.

--New Unseen Material--

Show off things that have not been put up publicly on PLA.
Treat for audience.

--Trivia Time--

Answer Hard Trivia Questions to give out free shwag.

Possible Grand Prize: A PLA Made Beige Box singed by all the panel members. That way when they get busted by the cops for tapping into the lines, they know who to damn.

Make sure to tell people that if they did not win any shwag, they can shell big bucks out at our vendor's booth.

--Open Question Time--

Title says it all.

--Media CDs and Fin--

Ditto. We need to talk about what is on the CDs. Some ideas could include:

-- All the PLA Radio Episodes
-- PLA Official Soundtrack
-- One or two samples of the "Never Before Seen" Materials
-- Schematics and Tutorials on Phone Phreaking
-- Programs that assist Phone Phreaking
-- Website Links
-- Thank You Photo/Video

==Other Ideas==

-- Have an open daytime "Bridge" line the same day and time as our panel that only this board knows. We will tune into it after each segment for a brief minute or two so you guys who call in can be apart of HOPE even though you are too broke ass to go!

-- Have a 1/2 hour to and hour long live show were we all do prank calls LIVE on Radio Statler.

-- Hand out the remaining Media CDs and make our presence known at the Project Telephreak section.

-- Vendors table were we sell our T-Shirts, Hats, Buttons and any other useless crap we can think of.

-- Prank some of the other panels going on, kind of like what they did at Notacon 5 when Bruce Potter came up, but in a PLA way.

I worked on the Rick Astley song yesterday.  But the way it's done, it's more like an introduction to the PLA panel at Hope.  It goes on about how you're just doing the panel to get into Hope for free and you hacked Emmanuel and you're just going to make up a lot of bullshit for an hour.  So can you do the rickroll at the beginning?  I was going to put together the video too, with lyrics and all that.

Answer Hard Trivia Questions to give out free shwag.

For prizes I can mail out a few shirts and coffee mugs to RTF like I did last time.  Also, I'll do my best to make about 200 media DVDs.  Maybe more if the blanks are cheap enough and if my burner works fast enough.

Also I'll work on putting together best of segments for PLA TV and PLA Radio.  Maybe you guys can suggest what should be the best in there.

1.  i'm a whipping girl, not a whipping boy.    there are a *few* females around PLA other than Jammie...

2.  now that my Big Move is behind me, i can go back to my little hobby of looking for phone mob targets, and hopefully we'll have a few more to choose from for HOPE material.  that really is my favourite phoneloserish activity.

3.  once we decide what's going to go on there, i can pitch in with burning PLA Media DVDs.

4.  as for best of PLA Radio, the episodes i keep listening to again and again are the customer service episode and the phone mobbing episode.  i think my favourite PLA call of all time is RBCP's timing belts/auto hut call.  if that wasn't played the last time PLA had a HOPE panel...i'd vote for playing that one.

Whipping Boy is now fixed. 

I was actually about to ask (since the outline is not in order) if we can do it in the beginning or in the middle. I think the beginning can work just fine. I think we are going to start with RTF saying welcome like the last time but then stop half way through and Rick Roll everybody. Then we are going to cut right back into what we were talking about like nothing happened.

Should be fun. 

I am going to attempt to see if a custom Beige Box could work on my own time, but yea send shwag our way to give for prizes as well to sell at the vendor.

The media disks we are working on that, I am also going to make a mock outline of that very shortly.

At the next 2600 Meeting I am going to take the same outline and stuff to the rest and we are going to work over the specifics. After then, we will know exactly what we are doing and let you guys and gals know.

Here is a big help for us: Can you shoot one of us what some of the unseen material you want to show and give us a headliner and synopsis of it? That way we can like give a one sentence summary before we play them.

Combine these two; call other panels and prank them during your panel.  Especially those in rooms immediately next to yours.

I do not think the other panels have phones, not to mention I think only two go on at a time so there would be only one panel to call. I can ask though, its a good idea.

[rbcp]

For those on the panel - tell me your shirt sizes and I'll mail them out to RTF so you can wear them at the panel.  Tell me whatever you think RTF's should be too since he's too cool to hang out on our forums.  I'll throw in a few extra too, so you can give them away as prizes or whatever.

[rbcp]

I think you guys should lie at lot in your presentation if you're talking about PLA history and stuff.  Make wild, insane claims.  Say that we invented blue boxing and that Joy Bubbles used to be murd0c's roommate.  Casually mention that the t-shirts you're wearing were donated by the Erik Bloodaxe T-shirt Foundation.  Pick someone at random, maybe standing the back, and say that he's Dino Allsman and he drove you to Hope and order a round of applause for him.  Thank Emmanuel for paying for all your flights to Hope.  Say that Kevin Mitnick forwarded the phone lines where we answered customer calls.

Remember the PLA's spirit of never taking anything seriously and LIE!

record it and sell the dvds(and give me one for the idea)

I like this idea very much.

I say we should mix the truth in with the false stuff and just simply and constantly state:

"If you want to know more, go to our website!"

More Traffic for Us right? Let them figure it out! XD

All I know is that I am a "large". At the next meeting I will get everyone's sizes and send a list as back up.
