Haha, well I never cared much what people thought of what I was doing, so if I can save myself a bunch of money to drink "fake" wine and get just as drunk, I'm good with that

KK, that makes my existing ideas more doable. Yea, it would be kind of stupid to be like

Hey guys watch this vid...any questions?

It's crap, honestly. It is like the Keystone of wine. It's good if you need a lot and cheap though!

Yeah, pretty much. I mean there's nothing really wrong with doing it that way and posting it, but it wouldn't be an official workshop and I don't think there'd be any pay involved. Also, if you were going to post an outside video link, it would have to be you and not a video you found elsewhere. Especially if it's your supplemental video for a workshop, and even then I think that has to end up on Eden Tube.

You're missing out then. A real wine produces a much better result.

I have to agree with this. There are a lot of "cheap" alcohols that are actually really good. Some of my favorite wines have been less than $10 for a bottle. Sure they're nothing fancy, but I honestly don't think I could drink an expensive bottle of anything. I'd be more like "wait, I paid how much for this? I feel bad drinking it!"

towards the end of summer, how would a voting laws and politics workshop work? both how to register, what is required by state and a discussion of the candidates. also, discussion of congressional and gubernatorial elections as well. and what an awesome word gubernatorial is.

I've had "real" wine's that were just awful and "fake" wines that were delicious. Both will result in me eventually getting drunk if I drink enough of them, and neither leave me with a hangover. So I'm gonna call this one "your mileage may vary" and stick with what I know works for me.

Real quick, I want to make sure to post the ideas that haven't really gone anywhere yet.


Ideas that haven't done much:
-Toy recycling. This has been brought up numerous times. One contributor was planning on a large scale project with a workshop or contest involving the best way to upcycle an unwanted toy that couldn't be recycled and petitioning manufacturers to start adding the necessary logos for recycling, but that never went anywhere.
-Coordinating and running a ‘prop’ thing, where if one contributor wanted to give “props” to another (something as simple as a picture taken with a shout out to another person) they could take a picture, email it to one of us running it, and we could coordinate all the entries and post them monthly. Submitters would remain anonymous. This idea was brought up at the third meeting and never went anywhere.
-A lingerie exchange program. This would cover things that didn't fit, can't be returned, etc. In general it would involve anything but panties. This would have to be something organized and run by community members. So far it was brought up once or twice, and nothing has been done about it.
-A blogring has been brought up a few times. It hasn't really gone anywhere.
-The idea of a large scale get together has been brought up from time to time. Initially, we thought it would be a neat idea to have everybody come to the warehouse in New Jersey but after we merged with Liberator, things were a little more up in the air. The idea of having smaller satellite get togethers where we would meet up with people in our area and connect each one via something like Skype was mentioned as a way to let people meet who couldn't travel all the way to EF headquarters. Nothing has been mentioned of this in a while.
-Adding to or reworking the main page to more accurately reflect the newer programs and make it easier for a new person to find their way around and get commonly asked questions answered. Having a banner or something that says “new to the site? Click here!” that leads to an updated FAQ list, as well as a list of all of the available programs and clubs and their explanations. There have been changes made to the main page since this was brought up, and there will continue to be changes made. The biggest factor is getting somebody to go through and figure out the best way to lay things out again.
-A separate place from the calendar to have information about all of the clubs and other things going on around Eden. Something that breaks down “here are the clubs, this is what they do, here's how to participate” A spot with all the other things on the right side of the main page. This idea and the last one are pretty similar. At this point, the clubs blog contains most of the information that you'd need to know about the clubs, but there isn't a specific spot for it on the site just yet.
-Post Crossing was suggested a few times. Basically members would mail each other greeting cards, but with the issue of privacy and anonymity a few other ideas were suggested. One being that one person would be in charge of all of the addresses for everybody, and the other being e-cards. This idea hasn't gone anywhere yet.
-Activity badges. These can be for anything from reaching a certain amount of posts or reviews or pretty much anything. There's been a lot of yays and nays for this one, so nothing much has been done with it.
-Adding the verified tag back to reviews listed with the new product page layout. It is possible to see a list of all of the reviews on a product without too much work, but not very easy to see which reviews are verified when looking for assignments. This has been brought up a few times, but nothing has happened yet.
-Adding more pages to the list of recent reviews on the community news page, or adding a “random” button that takes you to a random review. This idea has been mentioned a few times, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. With the consistent influx of new reviews coming in, this would be helpful and will be passed on.
-Archiving threads older than a certain age.
-Relisting of the forum categories to make them easier to follow.
-Online/offline indicators on profiles. Or a last logged in date or last date of activity. This is something that gets brought up from time to time.
-Home parties. This is something that we are slowly working on and have some great ideas for, but putting it together has been slow because it hasn't been a largely pressing issue.
-Having the “to” field when composing a message suggest names from your followers, or of people you are following. It would probably be easier to have it be done based on all members, but it's something that may be able to be done.
-Opting out of fliers and catalogs at checkout. This is a great idea, and it has been brought up but nothing has come of it yet.
-A “tutorial” of sorts for mentors/editors. The last I had heard, this was being worked on and will be posted at some point in the near future.
-Post graduation evaluation form for students to critique their mentors.
-Being able to add your own earned gift cards to your dashboard to keep track of them that way.

Plenty of good bottles of wine are around the $8-10 range. Andre is my cut, though. That's like 6 or 7.

can't almost anything rile someone up? also, if we wanted to do an international politics club I'd be game for that.
