..::: Red Alert: Banner Painting Session :::..

[FluSH]

If you happened to browse through the Banners Section of the forums you would know that we are drafting something BIG for Montreal. Well after some setbacks followed by a near catastrophe on the weekend… we are ready to paint.

This is the moment of Truth… we need people... lots of people to finish this Banner and do our jobs as supporters for this Montreal Derby Match. This is it… The Montreal game! They don’t like us and we don’t like them.


We Need 15-20 People

[DOMIN8R]

It's going to be cold and maybe a touch windy behind the "Times"

[Wagner]

should jack do a mass email?

what's the parking situation like?

that's only 1 hour of natural light? will that be enough?

[flatpicker]

^ wear a sweater and a wind breaker! (do they still call them "windbreakers"? or is that an 80's term?)


I can't make it tonight... still hoping to get out tomorrow if painting is still going on.
I have so much work to do right now, and it's interfering with my fun!

[DOMIN8R]

15 people watching this thread right now and no one other than me, has committed yet? I bet Carlos doesn't even make it.

[flatpicker]

good point!


park cars in a circle around the banner with the headlights on? :D

[AL-MO]

As long as its not like Saturday we'll be fine. :p

[GingerNinja]

I have class tonight so I can't make it out.
I might also be a slight bit traumatized from saturday.

[Parkdale]

I'll be there (just for you domin8or)

if we have to move to the covered area, that's not a far walk.

[AL-MO]

We'll get as much as we possibly can done tonight.

[nancymiranda]

[AL-MO]

[FluSH]

Comeon people... the more we get the faster we can finish this... we all have jobs the next day... but we are supporters first and foremost :drum:

[trane]

I was supposed to be there on Saturday but I got stuck, I will go home chance and come by.

[phonzo]

if there is finishing work needed for tomorrow I'll be there. Can't make it tonight as I have some other shit to get done.

Good luck..weather should hold and it doesn't seeeeem windy :)

[Technorgasm]

Sparkies. I will give ya a call at 8:08 (state)
To see if it's still goin on.

I'll try to convince him. And maybe t-bird too


This is the most important initiative of the season!

[Parkdale]

then I'll come on down for the painting.

[Whoop]

No need to convince me Techno, I will be there.

[Whoop]

The most important thing...

WEIGHTS!!!!

[JonO]

Can't tonight, but if you still need peeps tomorrow, let me know...

(I'm pretty sure it's illegal if I leave my kids on their own...)

[FluSH]

Nice let's keep this up... if you were thinking about making it but can't let us know... that way we know our efforts aren't falling on deaf ears.

[Technorgasm]

No need to convince me Techno, I will be there.



EL DODGEROS!!! FTW!!



Then to BMO to save the day!!


Hooray !

[king dave]

[DOMIN8R]

Do you want me to pick up the bricks, KD? Otherwise how will you bring them?

[adamdz]

Alright I will be there for 7:30. Had a few drops of rain here, hopefully it doesn't escalate :P. If it gets windy again I am joining another team :D.

[BuSaPuNk]

Might be able to make it out and might bring one more with me. Will know sometime tommarow afternoon.

[AL-MO]

Thanks to everyone who came out last night! We had a highly productive banner session in the medieval times parking lot.

The banner is almost done. A little bit more paint and some touch ups and she'll be ready to go for Wednesday night!

:scarf:

[Roogsy]

So another session tomorrow night for the rest of us that couldn't make it out tonight?

[AL-MO]

Yes, feel free to come out.

[InTheCrowd]

What time tonight?

[Parkdale]

7:30 I think.

same banner time, same banner channel

[Fort York Redcoat]

I'll be there.

[phonzo]

I'll be there.

:drinking:

[FluSH]

I think the turnout tonight might also be good... I'm trying to convenince AL-MO to do another smaller banner if we get large numbers.... Parkdale how's your freestyle graf? Maybe buy some spray paint and do a nice block letter piece.

[nancymiranda]

i'll try and make it out!

I am utterly amazed at the amount of work we got done last night!

See you tonight lads.
finish this masterstroke up!

[phonzo]

techno...please never stop using the term masterstroke

[king dave]

I will bring the grey paint for the luchador zombie and any other things we may want to touch up.
After thinking about that tombstone idea FluSH and I discussed last night I think a 'fleur de livre' would be very appropriate!

I just so this. Nice.

[trane]

I am running late at work, and I have a 6:30 meeting, but I will swing by.

[Parkdale]

is there any other kind? :cool:

I think this kind of simple blockbuster would look really good from far away.

[trane]

^ It would work, but the lines, in the rock have to be thick to ensure they are visible, or they could jsut look like a big grey block letter, and not ROCK.

[Parkdale]

^ It would work, but the lines, in the rock have to be thick to ensure they are visible, or they could jsut look like a big grey block letter, and not ROCK.

oh yeah, I'd make sure to scale up all the lines so it's easily recognizable.

[Technorgasm]

instead of a rock, it would be easier, and I think a bit more effecective if you had the letters with a brick wall pattern.

the coulors would also be red / TFC.

just a suggestion.

Keeper + Brick Wall + FREI - FTW!

[Parkdale]

the coulors would also be red / TFC.

for the look, it's just way easier to do it in three tones of gray.
the red outline / highlights makes it stand out. Or maybe paint
it on red fabric? That would make the letters pop off
and if it was red, some simple rectangles would make it look like bricks.

[trane]

^ I like the wall idea as well. Both can be used at some point, one for the Frei on for one or all of the back for, Robbo and Cronin, something like that.

Lest just make sure that whatever is started tonight can be finished, tonight

looks nice but I was thinking something more simple so it can be done in 1-2hrs...

[Parkdale]

oh yeah, the 'rock' banner deserves to be done right (they all do).

very nice...

I was thinking we do "MTL Ultras" instead.

But we'll talk about it later.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Both could look good. My .02

Fleur de lis

Ultras(underneath it)

?

[phonzo]

bump

[AL-MO]

Banner looks great and is ready to go for Wednesday night!

[Ageroo]

Glad to hear everything went great....can't wait to see this bad boy......

[trane]

Sorry, about last night, I had forgoten that I had promised to meet with people about helping them to set up a trucking company.

[InTheCrowd]

Glad to hear you guys could work past the setback.

[AL-MO]

Sorry, about last night, I had forgoten that I had promised to meet with people about helping them to set up a trucking company.

No worries. We had plenty of people!

[trane]

^ I am looking forward to seeing the finished product tonight.

[DOMIN8R]

Remember - this should go up twice. Once at the start and one other time later in the game or at the half.
