yeah, but how do I know were to go? Thats the thing I mostly cofused about.

Well, you obviously gotta talk about that and decide where you want to meet up. Really, all you gotta do is talk to each other. xD

We are gonna fix that. Maybe every country can fix it's own website and then one for the whole world and from the world webside it can bee links to every countries own site?

Yeah... I already wrote a text in spanish for a page in a social network here, so I could use that. Is every country doing it?

You just call your local restaurants and tell them what you are trying to do. Also make sure you emphasize the fact

that it's a world wide event and that your group is going to be doing stuff to save the environment also. Tell them that

everything they donate is a tax write off for them. I also told them that the media would be involved and that I'd mention that

they donated the food for the event and that is advertisement for them. I used to get sponsors for my daughter when she

was little and I used to put her in pageants. I never had to pay for a dress or any entry fees by using sponsors. It's all

about how you talk to them. You have to make them feel as if you are doing them a favor by allowing them to sponsor

such an important event and in the end it doesn't cost them a dime anyway because charity is a tax write off in the US

I am not sure if it is in other Countries. You just have to make them feel lucky that you chose them and make them feel like

it is an honor to get to sponsor such a huge and important event.

That's awesome. I don't feel like we could make it in Spain, but maybe in a couple of months when we already spoke with the press and that kind of stuff, I'll change my mind. And I think the taxes don't work like that here.

I still don't know how the environmental thing is going to work. What are you guys doing in your countries related to the environment?

In the US I am making 1 rep for each state with a team of around at least 5 assistants.

You think we should do that in every country? I don't see it a bad idea actually.

I was thinking... we could set up a PA system to play Green Day songs, and maybe with a karaoke? I don't know if we could do that in the street though, maybe we have to ask for permision or something... and also, it would make people go to see what happens, which could be good, but we don't want random people to be dancing there either do we? And if we do it in an isolated place we wouldn't have a place to conect the system... :ermm: Well, it's just an idea, maybe we could take it in an other direction and do something with it, I don't know.

Shall this event involve any form of that delightful substance called food?

You mean like Gummybears? :woot:

Anyone who wants to help organize the German meet-up?

Yes, I think that do that in Spain right now it's a bit difficult, but maybe in a couple of months we can try it. And about play Green Day songs in the street I think that it's a good idea, but I think we have to ask for permision, if there are a lot of people. The people in others countries know something about the permission thing?

hey guys, i got some trouble and maybe some of you could help me with some tips?`

1) as in sweden, its hard to find fans willing to do this.

2) i have NO idea if the press would write about it, since green day is not really a popular band here.

3) i cant really find any environmently things we could do here...

4) im pretty sure no resturant would supprt this. its REALLY hard to get sponsors in denmark, and the best thing i would be able to do, is make sure there would be a foodstand, so people could buy there food.

what i do have: i know the place where its gonna be. im making some flyers to hand out in the cinema (watching 21st cbd tour) and to hang up in different places.

and i only got about 3 people so far, that would come

^I actually like that idea of putting up flyers at the cinema event. Only problem: we don't have any flyers yet (or designs for flyers) :/

I am not sure how the reps in your area are going to handle it but here in Texas I'm getting some of the local restaurants

to donate food for the event. They were excited to be involved in an effort to clean up the environment and rock out on Green

Day all in one day all over the world. Besides its a tax write of for them donating it anyway

I sent you my info just want to know what I can do to help. I too am in texas so let me know :thumbsup: its great that you already have places donating, have we come up with environmental activities yet? cause that's what my concern was.

Yeah that's a really good idea, just have to find places that will budge and put for us :D

Could you think of any places in Bris that would consider?

I can't really of the top of my head, but like Dawn said, get out a phonebook and do alot -a- callin' :thumbsup:

So far who else is in on this? Because I think it would be much easier if we had a little team for Brisbane. Considering I'm a bit too young for people to take seriously and more people the better :)

Well I will be a student at St.Lucia next year (hopefully) so I should be able to get a few sort of connections like peeps, but yeah maybe a small team? might get confusing though... Oh who cares what they think! XD But you and I can be the 'official' head reps for brissy

Get a team together to help you and have the older ones make the calls. This is a huge undertaking

so you really should get a team of assistants to help you. In the US I am making 1 rep for each state

with a team of around at least 5 assistants. Are you going to do something in your Country to help

take up Green Day's cause and do something to help the environment? I find that alot more businesses

will be more willing to donate things if you are doing a big help the environment in honor of Green Day event

then after you do that later in the day you can through a huge Green Day party for everyone. Also in doing that

you will attract a lot of press and publicity.

The problem is there aren't as many as 5 people participating in this (yet) and none of us are over 18. Helping the environment would be awesome but I have no idea what we could do. (Picking up trash probably wouldn't work since this place is already pretty clean - and 5 people picking up empty bottles in a park wouldn't get noticed by anyone.)

But luckily we have lots of time so I guess we'll figure something out :)

I can't believe 'Green for a day' is still winning on that poll...

At this rate it looks like it will be just me and my sister in Melbourne... I just haven't had much of a chance to organise anything due to work :(

I know to bad there isn't a spot to write in your vote because I have the perfect title and it really sums everything up

"Green Day Fans Around The World Unite" it shows that we are coming together for a cause to honor Green Day

I just realized none of the choices for titles they don't say anything about the fans and that is who is coming together

is the fans but none of the choices even have the word fan in it.

It wasn't me who fixed the poll it was someone who told a mod to do it. We think that "Green Day Fans Around The World Unite" is a perfect name, but we think that maybe if we put the poll away people will get angry..?

A happy halloween to u all: (and yes we are crazy...)

I don't think many people will mind if we just go with "Green Day Fans Around The World Unite" cause I've

heard several peoplele say that they don't like the one that's winning anyway,

OK EVERYONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT'S OK WITH YOU IF WE DON'T USE ANY OF THE TITLES FROM THE POLE

AND WE JUST GO WITH "GREEN DAY FANS AROUND THE WORLD UNITE"?

If you hate it & don't like that as a title please let us know. I think it encompasses everything we are trying to do. Also

I really think it will attract more press / publicity. The other titles in the pole don't even have the word "fan" in them.

Everyone just let us know what you think because I'm working on getting flyers and buttons made for this and I am also trying to

find a large company to sponsor us so I can get t-shirts and I am going to use the awesome picture Shenanigan drew on the

shirts, flyers, and buttons. I'm also going to try and get banners made with the title above and the picture Shenanigan drew up and posted

on here. Hopefully I can get some big sponsors so I can get banners for every country and every state in the USA also I am hoping to

get enough for t-shirts for everyone. I can't promise anything but I will be working hard on it and I hope I can make it happen. Also I'm working

on some contests to do for this and some awesome Green Day stuff to give a way. If all goes well maybe we can make this an

annual event.I still wish it was being done on 4/20 that would be so cool but anyway it's still gonna be awesome!

Is just anyone able to suggest a logo for this? Cause i think id like to submit one :)

Shouldn't we wait and let others submit the logos they are working on before we decide to use Shenanigans' design?

Don't get me wrong, I like the logo that has already been submitted but it is only fair correct? :ermm:

I'm sorry I didn't even think about that of course I'd love to see some submission's for the logo "Green Day Fans

Across The World Unite" you can even incorporate the date too May 28, 2011

I'll tell you what I'm going to make a contest out of this and give away some cool Green Day merchandise to the

winners. I'm going to go start a thread about it so everyone will know the guide lines and the deadline for

submissions. :banana:
