Upcoming Events Master Calendar thru December 2018

If you have some ads you'd like to post for an event but won't be around or you've got a bunch of ads and you wanna pre-post 'em for upcoming events, here is how to do a scheduled post. If your posting is moderated, please let me know, and I'll 'free' you so you can do scheduled posts! :)

ALWAYS feel free to suggest a one day event, or suggest to change a weekend weekend in case I've overlooked something! This calendar is not etched in stone and can be changed, edited, altered, etc!

Weekend Events, unless otherwise noted are always Friday to Sunday, though for clarity's sake I always denote Friday thru Sunday. One Day Events I put in ALL CAPS so they stand out a little more. For Contest Starts, I have that underlined. Sound complicated? I hope not.

At the beginning of every week I'll post a reminder of the week's activities and the day before the start I'll post a reminder. At ANY TIME you may find the master calendar (hmmm...should it be the mistress calendar?) on our vintage ads' page in 2 different spots. 1) It's in the sticky post up top and 2) it's on the left hand side in the featured post widget.

Non-themed vintage ads are ALWAYS welcomed at any time!!!

Holidays are not really mentioned, I don't think they need to be defined and ads for any particular upcoming holiday are always welcome!

Could we have a computer ads week or day? I absolutely love old computer ads! :)

Have we had a feminist/ gender equality day? The "Women in workplace portrayed positively" is pretty specific.

Other special day events that I would love to see: "The thing I really really wanted as a kid", Barbie, and Product Placement.

i can change women in the workplace to gender equality day....how about i call it women portrayed positively in ads? just remove the workplace?

we just did 'what i really wanted' or something like that a few days before christmas---that does NOT mean we can't do it again! :) fun ideas are ALWAYS repeatable!

a specific barbie weekend? what about a barbie day if i go find her birthday?

i like the idea of product placement but could you expand upon what you're thinking of how that'll work because i'm unsure......

Wikipedia says that Barbie's birthday is March 9, which is the date in 1959 that the doll first went on sale. It falls on a Sunday this year.

I would imagine that a product placement event would involve film clips. Example: the scene in the original "Dawn of the Dead" (accept no substitutes or remakes) in which Peter gives his classic "When there's no more room in Hell the dead will walk the earth" speech in front of the Penneys "funky P" mall sign.

BTW, I love the Out of Business event idea. That should be a contest sometime.
misstia
okay, i can add barbie's b-day on that sunday....thank you very much for looking that!!!

product placement like that is a slippery slope, as we don't allow film clips, ya know? hmmm....i like this idea but how can we work it so that we just post ads for the products---we can reference or even post the movie clips we gotta have an ad in the post....let's keep trying to figure this one out....

let's see how an out of business weekend goes and if it goes well, it can go in the 'contest' section of the 'hat'! :)

I don't think women in the workplace necessarily has to be positive - actually what I think makes it an interesting theme is seeing portrayals from different eras, comparing how the perception of women in the workplace evolved over time. I would suggest keeping it neutral, and doing a different theme around feminism or equality.

I just realized that it's the Centennial of JFK's birthday on May 29th. Could we have a one-day event tied to that event? Maybe ads in general from the early '60s? Happy Birthday themes? :) Anyway, doubt we'll be around for the 200th observance so I thought I'd suggest something this time around. ;)

You can always email me direct: m99084me@gmail.com I get to emails quicker, sometimes. Depends what life is throwing at me.

Sorry, been bad mod!! I'm the unofficial hood kid daily hangout and event coordinator. I have no idea why kids always have come to my house to hang out but they do. I even tell them I don't like kids!! Then I tore my rotator cuff and today had a kitty put to sleep. Ugh.

I've run out of 'scheduled' event posts too! ACK! That's been on my 'to do' list for months. Figured once the semester was over, I'd have time. HAH!

Anyway, it's usually you and I who just post; but PLEASE post tomorrow, write something, take charge!! And now I have hood kids yelling for me. We made slime yesterday. We do one 'big thing' a week. Next Saturday they get to put painted hand prints on my house.

I need a bad mod icon.
