First let me preface this saying that I can't take lead on it as my real life job won't allow it. However it could be a pretty cool thing.
Most folks at the NRA convention could be reached if they didn't have to walk far to a libertyseed. something cool to do after the doors shut and they need some where to go. A local gentleman got a hold of me with a suggestion.
The local gentleman's daughter is in charge of scheduling for the war memorial and monument circle! The NRA put a hold on the facilities but never booked anything. The basement of the Monument has a nice little theater that could be used for this purpose. Plus it's not great but they do have a small revolutionary war exhibit (It's going to be revamped this year but is still there now). I have verified with her that after 1730 it would be completely open if we wanted to schedule one.
If advertised at the convention it could be a great way to draw folks with in walking distance in, especially those who don't want to spend 80 dollars on dinner ect. I believe this could have the possibility to be a rather large event if folks working the event push it.
Either way I just wanted to pass along the info and if anyone is interested I can pass along her info to get something set up. I wish I could take the lead but again I'm working all days and after the wife just having the baby my leave is exhausted.
PM me the contact info and I will pursue this opportunity. Thanks!
Rock on and keep us posted.

ATM I sent you the info good sir.
Hopefully you guys can get something set up as I think it would be a very cool place for a libertyseed and a heck of a good chance to spread the work to fellow enthusiasts! Plus it's a possibility to have a place to hold them in the future!
I will be in Indy. I do a pretty decent job with the Strikes. Count me in if you need me.
Ive been suggesting for a bit that we do them at intervals at the booth. It could be distracting for a Striker that is not used to a flowing crowd but if the history heavies bring their stuff it may bring in some interest.
Depending on the meetings I have after the show, I would LOVE to go to a liberty seed. I've never been to one. I hosted one, but since my wife had never heard the story, and we had a 2 yr old that was NOT going to sit still I left 5 minutes into the story.
Tentative plan is to have some sort of RWVA get together and LibertySeed on Friday evening April 25th at the War Memorial Pershing Auditorium (seats 500).
First choice was Saturday evening but the facilities were already reserved.
Will update with more info as the plan comes together.

I should be able to schedule around that. This is a great idea.
Happy to help with whatever needs to be done for this.
I can't wait to listen.
ATM that sounds awesome. As always you have my full support and anything you need from me.

The show is over at 6pm. What time are you thinking?

First 5 seats confirmed. common guys lets make this a packed house!
Its looking like Ill have about 10 in my crew depending on the time. If the show is over at 6, I probably wont get out until 630 minimum, so I might miss the first strike.
Let me know what time this is happening so I can get it on all the local boards.
I'll be there. Happy to help however-except the actual history part (not there yet).
Is that schedule confirmed? Brown and I are working on an >:D plan to e-mail all nearby subscribers to the newsletter to show up at NRACon in AS T-shirts, we can add a promo for attending the LibertySeed as well.
LibertySeed to begin at 7pm
I don't know if this is the correct place for this request, but I am looking for someone who might have an extra bed (or floor even) available for Friday night 04/25/14 so I could attend the Libertyseed on Friday night. Recent searches for rooms have been fruitless for that night. I was planning in driving down for Saturday ( I live near Toledo, OH), but would like to attend the Libertyseed also. I of course would share expenses for that night. If you have a bed, or know of someone that does, please PM me. - Thanks
There is a thread in xp80 for people looking for beds. I'll post your request in there for you. I'm sure some one can take care of you though.
Feel free to link at will:

Thanks - I appreciate the effort
I didn't hear that I was needed for this, but - just in case - I have had to change my plans. I will not make the convention. I will miss seeing/meeting you all.

We'll miss you, LawDog.
This LibertySeed is covered but we hope everyone who can will make it. Pershing Auditorium at the Indianapolis War Memorial should be an absolutely awesome venue to hold this and will hopefully set the stage for future events here.
Presentation begins at 7:00pm and will likely run until 8:30ish. Grab an early dinner or plan for a late one depending on your convention schedule and plans, but please make this a priority. There will be lots of folks to meet and greet.
Some folks still don't realize just how easy and effective these events can be. This is your chance to check it out in action.
Because, when LibertySeeds really take off, when we all catch the vision for them and reach the rest of America by taking our story to them
...then we can tell our posterity that we pursued every means necessary to ensure that our heritage and their inheritance was guarded and strengthened until the day they were ready to assume the full measure of that obligation themselves.
'Merica.
Was anyone able to help out Cadence with a place to stay?
If you need 10 foot x 4 foot Battle Road Maps, I can bring mine.
I plan to be there Friday and Saturday at least.

I passed this on for distribution to the 2nd Amendment Patriots. Im hoping Jim sends it out.

I think we've decided to use the facility's 15 foot video screen for display, but thank you.
Attached is the official press release which is being sent to media outlets nationwide. Please fee free to share with any local media as you see fit.

Better to have a backup and not need it... :cool2:
The facility is too large for a banner to work. This beautiful auditorium seats 500 people. We'd need a banner the size if a billboard....wait don't even go there. ;D

I attended the LS at the War Memorial last night and it went well. It is a beautiful building and pretty good attendance. I thought it was a great idea to promote this for attendees of the convention. SPQR did a very good job. Kudos to whoever thought this up.
This needs to be up on the Face book page ASAP.

Yeah. Not me. Yellowhouse. I did get a shout out though of anyone caught it.
Great event guys! There is a report and pictures on the Libertyseed forum if you are interested. If you do not have access, please PM me with an email address and I will get you started.
