Promoting Matt - let's brainstorm here!

Jenna!! Have fun

Okay, all I know is, you ladies better take a grillion pictures of this Giraud Squad summit! I WIIIIISSSSSSHHHHH I could be there, but I'll be hovering in spirit. Giraud Squad, BGs and FTLs all in one place? CRAZY!

So glad everything worked out and you're going to be able to attend the show, Jenna! I just caught up reading this today...so I was devastated and excited for you all in about 5 minutes, haha!

How is all the CD preparing going? Btw...a little birdie might have told me that Matt knows about the chanting. Which makes me even more HOPEFUL that we get it going! Matt knows the plan...and we don't want him to be disappointed.

Btw, Matt found out about it all by himself. I don't know how...everyone was careful on Twitter about spreading it. And we've only really discussed it in full detail here in this forum. Do you think we might have a lurker?

Who's that little birdie that told you!? Hope it does happens now, lol

So glad it worked out, Jenna! I'm sooo excited for the chant!

Maybe Matt himself lurks here, or maybe one of his friends does! Uh-oh, we haven't said anything too embarrassing, have we??? LOL

Matt has said he goes online and reads stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if he visits here often.

Oh my Gawd!! I hope Matt doesn't read here. Can you imagine! I would be so embarrased if he saw half of the things I have written about him here Oh boy...

Anyways, yeah I hope this just motivates people even further to get the chant going...

I think Matt would blush if he read some of our comments in the photo threads!

So have you guys decided what the actual chant will be? Is it simply "SIGN MATT G!" ?

I really hope it happens now! Matt is expecting it!
BTW I really think Matt knew about it through twitter. I saw some people spreading the word around there. So that might be.
I dunno.. I doubt Matt reads heres. We are such fangirls! lol THough I woudn't mind.

I don't know...he might. He DID read the other forums...IDF and the AI.com one. And this one is committed just to him, so who knows? haha.

But it does make me want to go back and delete a few things I've said!

So what's the plan for spreading the chant?

Sept 6th - Arrive early to the arena. A good idea would be to go up to EVERYONE you see wearing a fedora and ask them if they would help spread the word to chant "Sign Matt Giraud" after Hard to Handle. Getting ALL the Matt fans you can on board, will be the best way to help spread the fire. Matt seems to be one of those contestants that everyone loves in some way (even if he's not their #1 fav) so that is a good PLUS, but we still wanna be careful not to push the idea of chanting on someone and get a negative response. So, start with the Matt fans. Then tell them to spread the word to those around them when they get inside the arena.

This is going to have be an intentional movement. Seek out the Matt fans. This is Matt's home state so there should be a ton! I wonder if the mayor is going? Bobby Hopewell (I think his name is?). I bet he'd join in on the chant too!

Well I know we don't want Matt to know about this but he does have some ins with media and radio. There is that newscaster and Tommy and Brook morning show DJ's. It would be pretty cool if we could get them to announce it. Probably a long shot but I am following Tommy and Brook on twitter.

Now that we know Matt is aware of the chant, someone really should ask Tommy and Brooke to announce this plan on the radio. The chant HAS TO happen. Matt is expecting it, we can't disappoint him. Bring your posters! Is the chant "Sign Matt G"?? Thanks so much to GR attendees!!!

Good luck to everyone who is attending the GR concert today! I wish I could be there in person, but I will definitely do my part and tweet as much as possible! (I guess we're going with #SignMattG , right?)

I really think the CHANT is going to work! Woo-hoo! I want to see some concert videos of that ASAP!

SIGN MATT G! SIGN MATT G! SIGN MATT G! (I will be sending out positive vibes to all of you in GR!)

Ok! Just wanted to dig this thread back up to start regrouping and replanning some ideas!

First off...I thought it might be helpful if we had ourselves an "official" chatroom. It's nothing fancy, but I made this one exclusively for us Matt fans - http://tinychat.com/promotingmatt. If we could plan times to meet in the chatroom we could all begin discussing more ways to Promote Matt! Go ahead and check it out when you get a chance. I like this chatroom because it's easy to use and you can "kick" any unwelcome guests out of it. hehe.

Let me know whenever you guys are available. I am free pretty much any night this week after 9pm.

I can be there. I have a lot to share with you guys about upcoming projects. So hopefully we can get together tonight.

Hey Jenna.. as you know since I don't have a computer at home in the evenings I won't be able to participate in the chat(s) so I'd appreciate you just keeping me abreast of the upcoming projects so I can help out wherever need be....OK? thanks! You can give me a call also..I will PM you my #....

If anyone is on right now and would like to try out the chatroom. Go ahead and click on the link, I'll be in there for a little while!

I have used this chat program before, so I can go over how to use it, etc...just in case I'm not home in time to start the chat! Its not that difficult...but there are a few cool features that I'd love to explain.

So do we have an exact time tonight?
