hahahaahahha i love the cartoon....thats so rob russow

[T.J.]

What is the Community Relations Position?

[Administrator]

Basically, now that I'm no longer president I want to experiment with some projects that I have been kicking around including FIBC-TV and recruiting!

[fishinazn]

we already gots one guy from work that'll be joining us next year

[T.J.]

I didn't mention it in my last post but congradulations to the new as well as returning executives we have this year. It is great that we have some new faces this year and also have some old members around for any technicalities and support. The fishing part of the club is the fun part and also why we are here but it is the executives and all around member support that keeps the club going!

[T.J.]

Rob, What did you have in mind for the TV thing? Is it something to get our name out within the school, or to recruits, or what did you have in mind for it?

[Rob Russow]

My idea with FIBC-TV is to promote the club and its sponsors. It would be something we could put on the website and possibly other sources like You Tube. It would also be fun to show at meetings and during quad day as an attention getter. All I know is that if I had a video camera when we went fishing all the time we could get some pretty great shows. All I need now is a video camera and a way to edit the film! But its something I want to try eventually (and we all know how long I might be here!).

[Omar]

Rob, we should start out with an FIBC rippin lippz segment.
We can patrol our waters and rep the hit squad.
All we need to do is throw some frogs in January in the middle of Clinton with spinning rods. Catch one fish, record the action with a camcorder, throw some rap in the background and goofy commentary, and put it on youtube. After that, we'll have tons of support.

[illinivandy]

Omar may be crazier than Rob and Steve. MAY be....

[Rob Russow]

No, he's serious and ITS GENIUS!

[stephisher]

Rob,

I have a really nice digital video/photo camera. It's good quality, a clear picture, and has dyyyynmic sound. I've taken clips over 10 minutes long before. I also have a movie editing program on my computer. So I can help out with the your TV idea. Let's make a series!

PS I am working right now with your old boss... AL. It's slow. He says hi. And now he's speakin in Lithuanian.

[Omar]

This is where the term "Rippin lipps" came from. I think you guys might like it. now you will know what im talking about.
