Green Day Across The World

[Zia]

I got a message that said otherwise and I don't want to make anyone mad

the discussions weren't mine to make its the 2 who came up with the meet up not me

I should have never added all the extra stuff when it wasn't my idea and this is

suppose to be a good thing and I don't want any trouble or mad people with hurt feelings

ohhh.. okay.

But I still think you've been amazing help

[call_debbie]

What should we do on that day ???

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I personally think "Green Day Fans Around The World Unite" is a too long title.. for me, the name doesn't necessarily has to include the word fan, since it's pretty obvious it's a fan-event. I think both the names Green for a Day and Green Day Across The World are more than okay. (and then I'm personally in favour of the former, because it's shorter and has kind of a tongue-in-cheek thing to it, but it's still clear it's Green Day, but I don't really mind).

Dawn, I think it's great that you're putting so much effort in this!

Please don't think my resigning has anything to do with the title.

When I get a message that makes me cry and makes me feel like I

can't do anything right I just can't take that. This is supposed to be a good

thing not something that should make me cry. I'm sorry everyone I really am.

I had so much planned for this I never meant to make someone feel like

I was taking it over, I was only trying to help and make it a great thing.

I never meant to step on anyone's toes. But please don't think it had

anything to do with suggestions that people made. I love to hear all

points of view. Maybe some day I'll plan something and do it it up big

and get everyone involved. Again I am so sorry everyone, I was just trying to

help.

Hi there!

I was going to write something about this on my blog, but after reading this, I'm not sure if I should write something now or wait for a little until everything becomes more settled, like the name and stuff like that.

Is the logo contest still happening?

[Laura!]

Just keep trying to do the best you possibly can. Tell everyone about it & how great its gonna be.

The closer it get the easier it should be because there will be a lot of press on this. I am buying ad space

in music magazines and I'll list all the states and their reps. You'll probably have people seeking you out.

Also I am have a website built right now for this. I have nothing but time on my hands. I am a disabled

Army Veteran in a wheelchair that lives alone so I have lots of time. Plus this project means so much to me.

On Oct 3rd I finally got to meet Billie Joe and talk with him and thank him but it still feels like I didn't thank him

enough. He is such a cool guy and he was so very nice to me. I feel like I need to make this as grand as

possible to show Green Day just how much us fans do care about them, and that we want to give something

back to them because they have given us so much.

Has a US Facebook page been created yet?

About the name. I think a short, catchy thing would work pretty good, like Green For A Day or even Green Day Across The World. "Green Day Fans Across The World Unite" is a bit of a mouthful. And it sounds a tad boring, if you ask me. But if that's what the people want, I don't have anything against it.

[Anja]

Have you guys thought about having this posted on greenday.com? I don't know who is responsible for the website, but I think if it was posted on there, it could reach a lot of people. There's probably a lot of fans out there who arent members of any forum and only check the official websites.

you'll have to check with GDlover94 or Q.O.D.

Andres is going to post on GDA hopefully he'll mention it on podcast too.

Good idea, but how do you want to post it there?

GDA could post it as news, too.. this would reach a lot of ppl, too

ok

We would have to find out who's responsible for it and just ask if he/she could post it there Does anyone know who's in charge of the official website?

[LetItBeHappy]

is anyone from Chile in?

If you go to the bottom of the news page, there's an email address, info@greenday.com

Worth a try

You're welcome

Maybe Dawn should send it, I don't know.

Oh, those two parts of my post didn't have to do with each other. It was a giving my opinion on the title matter part which wasn't posted directly to anyone, and a something that I think it's good you're getting so involved with things like this (regardless of whether people feel like you're taking over or not) part.

[Chris_Kr93s]

Oh cool! Yeah, definitely worth a try. Who wants to send the mail? =D

Maybe we could figure out together (in this thread) what we want to write

[_drunkpinkbunny_]

this is a really cool idea maybe for the east coast we could get people to come to new york ctiy? i live right near there and i know there are lots of gd fans in the city

Ask Netty if she'd send Greenday.com a message about it.

Also, I posted a little teaser on my blog, but just a 'heads up" sort of thing since nothing is settled but the date yet. Green Day Mind link

[Anja]

Good idea. Netty knows everyone so she could probably reach more than we could =D

But maybe we should first try and put something together that we want to be posted on the website.

Yea, it should be all put together before that, too.

And if you guys are having an environmental angle to it, too, ask the NRDC if they could post it, too, would be my suggestion as well.

[dawn71]

OK you guys I'm feeling better now and I'm not going to let what others say to or about me bother me.

This event belongs to all the fans not just 1 or 2 people! So I'm in it for the long haul you guys....

I'm going to make sure this is so huge that every music magazine and TV station will be talking about this.

I've got my game face on now. I will get us some sponsors to help pay for all of this. Also I will be running

several contest between now and on the day of the event. I'm even getting some trophies made up.

I need to start getting names and emails of everyone in the United States interested in helping.

Also I need to know what each states platform is for helping clean up the environment. If anyone has any

ideas what so ever please contribute this is for all of us. It may have started out as an idea and a date but

it has grown a lot since then and I hope it will continue to grow with everyone's help. Let's

get to work everyone lets give the biggest thank you ever to Green Day by doing this... they have

done so much for their fans and now we can give back....

What do you all think of "Green Day Fan's Around The World"? I think that would be awesome on

a t-shirt with cool graphics which will be from who ever wins the contest I'm running for the person that

submits the best logo / picture, drawing etc... Also the winner will receive some kick ass Green Day

merchandise, and not crappy stuff collectors stuff

[Anja]

Those Representers that haven't fix their skype jet has to get one and give it to me in the passt 3 days. If you dont we will have to replace you with a person that have skype. Because we need to discuss the new ideas comming in and the are coming in fast! Please add me qod123 because I dont have time to add you.

Love Q.O.D

So...are you telling me to get a microphone as well? Just wondering.

I have seen people using both the logo (remaid by shenigan) and the name ''Green Day fans across world the unit'' and thats cool but its not offial yet. That mean non of this is decided. And Shenigans pick is cool but its some wrongs in it from the orginal wich I made. No offence Sheningan it was great done but its some stuff you couldn't know about that is suppose to be in the pick. Im having A-I doing a new version of the logo but this doesnt matter since nothing is decided. Pleace wait for uppdates before rushing in to something even thow Im glad your trying

Big hugs Q.O.D

If you want us to spread this idea as soon as possible, we should finally decide on a name and a logo. Everyone's creating groups for this and threads in other forums, so if you don't want people to use certain names, then it's probably about time to agree on a name. I suggest to either add Dawns idea to the poll or just take the name that won the poll already.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

I think the key is to balance it out between not having it be a tiny group of people deciding what everyone's going to do, but also not ignoring what the starters think and taking it out of their hands, because they did come up with the idea and also stated that they were organizing it, so I think they should have a little more weight in what happens - but not too much.

sorry if this leaves gaps or sounds arrogant or bad or mean towards anyone (or any other negative thing, because I really only mean this in a good way), I'm in a rush but I wanted to say this

By the way, is there a representative for the Netherlands yet? If not, I'm willing to be. That is, if there is some other Dutchie out there to help me out with it - can't do it all on my own, haha.

I'm not getting why that should be on skype, btw. That's almost like a bunch of teachers talking about what the class trip should be, instead of talking about it where everyone can join in and say their opinion.
