In reply to Hilary Mason: Social Data for Social Good:

I had the opportunity to see Ms. Mason speak while a participant in Betaspring last summer and enjoyed going over data analysis and reporting possibilities for the app I was working on with her after. She is a great lady, very smart and very nice, and her talk and suggestions were enlightening. If you can make this event I'd suggest it.

The venue for this event is

This is so neat! I'm building the ultimate sustainable house right now, and this would work so well with the whole "green" theme! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this. I'm going to make it a mission to get my hands on this - nature's music!

Hi Stacey, Thanks! We

In reply to FVS Workshop: How to Raise Money For Your New Venture:

Hi Stacey,

Thanks!

We believe that there is so much talent and new venture potential throughout Florida that would benefit from the experience of those of us who have travelled the road of founding and building companies.

We certainly want to expand throughout Florida - traveling to your area to teach or perhaps teaming up with local mentors and sharing our knowledge so they become teachers. Let's talk about ideas. What do you suggest?

There are, by the way, some wonderful resources on the web - including courses. Check out www.udemy.com. But none of these that I have found offer the one-on-one interaction you need to really incorporate the information into your new venture.

Regards,

Dennis

Yeah, Dennis, looks like we

In reply to FVS Workshop: How to Raise Money For Your New Venture:

I am the "organizer" (loose term, truly) of the SW FL Creates group (FT. Myers/Naples)...any chance we can get this workshop down south? I know a lot of people in this area who would benefit from something like this, myself included.
I am hoping to get something up down here that will help locals in the creative industries with such things as funding, development, etc.

You can message me via this site.

Thanks!

Just spoke to Dave Vanz on

In reply to Instagram Photowalk:

Just spoke to Dave Vanz on the phone - he has updated the location - we will be meeting at the Ceviche Tapas Restaurant on Church Street at 4:30 on Sunday. I suggested we hit up the Rusty Spoon afterwards for some onion rings and craft beer. He says they have an app that reads the feed out of instagram, so if you tag your photos with #phlier they will show up in their feed.

much thanks! Quick

much thanks!

Quick overview...the story is about the aftereffects of 9/11 on a man that loses his girlfriend on one of the planes. The final draft (without any editorial input is 22000 words as calculated by MS Works..

Yeah, I want to get it published and hope to get other things published. I write in a variety of genres; sci-fi, fiction, fantasy, poetry.

Anybody want to volunteer to

Anybody want to volunteer to make a generic flyer - that we can plug dates and locations in to, or to improve the print stylesheet for this page?

Teamwork!

In reply to epublishing:

Chuck, what genre is it? What is the length (in words)? What are your goals for it? Do you want to continue to try to publish other pieces?

Feel free to email me at sarah.nicolas.ya at gmail.com; I'd be happy to talk to you about this in more depth.

Chuck, I'm going to refer you

Chuck, I'm going to refer you to Sarah Nicolas, my resident writer friend. She might have some tips.

I agree with Nicole.

In reply to FLCreatives Happy Hour #64 at Tailgaters UCF:

I agree with Nicole. According to my opinion, flyers are great medium for that. Flyers are also affordable and can attract the people to draw the attention.

It was a fun class. I think

In reply to Introduction to Arduino:

It was a fun class. I think the students were a little scared at first, but they caught on right away. I love to see them take it upon themselves to explorer and open new doors in electronics. Looking forward to the next meet up.

Thanks for helping out today

In reply to FLCreatives Happy Hour #64 at Tailgaters UCF:

We could probably even put together a flyer that we can plug in dates times and locations in to - I wonder what the Print view of this page looks like. (off to check it out... command-P)

There are notice boards

Necole — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 06:32:27 +0000

In reply to FLCreatives Happy Hour #64 at Tailgaters UCF:

There are notice boards scattered around campus in various places. It might be a good idea to put up a flyer. If you have one I might be able to do it next time I'm in the area. You might also contact the heads of the departments you mentioned. They send out emails to their students every few days to let them know about events, job opportunities, etc. They would probably be happy to pass along the information.

If you got the email

The planning stages are progressing. It looks like initially, we may be hosting some arduino classes at an undetermined location. These would be similar to the format offered at http://familab.org

Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, Cigar City Brewin Jai Alai IPA (local from Tampa), Bell's Oberon Ale.

We also have some BBQ Pork and Wings from Smokey Bones coming, along with a tray of Macaroni and Cheese plus a (veggie) Mediterranean Platter from Virgin Olive Market.

This Saturday, Florida Creatives Happy Hours will be celebrating our 5th Anniversary (http://floridacreatives.com/5) bringing awesome events to find your local support group to the state - those people who support your crazy-idea-having, pie-in-the-sky-dreaming, rule-breaking and world-changing ideas. Join us at +Urban ReThink with some help from +James Tryon and +Elizabeth Farmer

In reply to Likemind.orl:

I hope that there will be many people who can attend these little mini-events that you have going on downtown. It seems like it is a great place to hang out and meet some new friends and share ideas.

With everything that is going on it is important to take time out of our busy lives for this free feature to meet before work to get some fresh ideas in our heads.

I just may be there!

In reply to Symposium on the effect of the arts/creative class on communities for SWFL:

Stacey,

Have you ever attended a BarCamp or other unconference? If you can convince people to show up, this can be a great format.

I would recommend reading up on Open Space - this is the essential methodology behind how BarCamps are run. The idea is to assure everyone has a chance to speak if they wish, and especially if one of your goals is coming up with a plan, Open Space requires that you take notes and have a group review at the end of the day.

Thanks Stacey, I'm sad you

In reply to TEDxOrlando "The Creative Spark":

Thanks Stacey, I'm sad you won't be able to make it on Saturday. The phrase "vast, strict rules you must follow" sums it up beautifully, and really made my day. If there is anything we can do to help with your event, please let me know.

Our list of presenters is posted at http://tedxorlando.org/presenters.php -if any of them seem like they might be a good fit for the Shakespeare Festival, let me know via the contact tab under my profile on this site, or email me at dave at tedxorlando dot com and I will help you get in touch with them.

In reply to TEDxOrlando "The Creative Spark":

I meant to say they are planned for a specific city/town. TEDX will not let you take a planned conference to another city. They have vast, strict rules you must follow for your event.

Too bad I didn't get notice earlier or I would come up. (I now have to work all day Saturday.)

TEDx conferences have to be

staceyrlou — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 02:00:47 +0000

In reply to TEDxOrlando "The Creative Spark":

TEDx conferences have to be planned, they do not travel. I have been attempting to put together a TEDX in the Naples/Ft. Myers area for a while. If any of you are in this area, please contact me. It is a lot of work. I live in Naples and they require you to hold the event in the town you reside in. I have been going back and forth with them hoping to get an exception but it's not happening.

I am on facebook under the group, SWFL Arts Incubator. If you would like to get involved, join the group and post your interest on the wall. I have been in discussion and have support from some really key people so even if TEDX doesn't work out, we are all interested in holding a symposium on the arts for our region, sooner than later.
