Okay the following is the email I got from TRL:
"We would like to invite you to a live taping of TRL on September 15th. This show is going to be great, so respond as quickly as possible before seats are all filled. If you are interested in coming please fill out the info below, and REPLY to this email. In the subject line write (915). Everyone who is attending the show must bring ID and must be within the ages of 16-24. Arrival time is 3:30pm, and the special will be taped from 5-6 on 45th and Broadway, if you are late we will open your reservation to people in our standby line. Please make sure you are on time. No WHITE clothing, white is bad for camera lighting! Please do not bring cameras, we are not responsible for your personal items."
So, basically that means we should arrive early. I am setting a time of 2 pm for the meeting that time. That way we can allow some time for those who will be late and begin to organize. As I have been to TRL before I know that the place where you stand outside has a habit of getting filled early. So, I would like us to try to steal all the spots outside. I know some of you are going to be going to work, so since they do tape a 5 pm it is okay to come after work, but if you could get time off that would be great too! DONT FORGET TO WEAR YOUR BSB GEAR! I will have some available and have saved some for certain people. You can wear a regular shirt or a homemade shirt, just show your BSB pride!

Thanks to Crystal for this follow idea:
"My idea is to bombard them from all angles. You guys are doing the live protest, people have called radio stations, and other things. My idea for all of the people who can't make it up there is to send mad junk mail. And by junk mail I mean HUGE boxes filled with absolutely nothing or whatever anyone decides to put in them. It can be just one letter, it can be some sort of message or anything these people can come up with. We should decorate the boxes with the brightest colors we can find and just go crazy with it. Can you imagine TRL having to deal with a protest and then large quantities of packages on the same day? I mean these would take up space! Let me know what you think!"
For those of you who have been asking "How can I help out?", this will be a great idea. You dont have to put anything in the boxes just decorate it with BSB pictures or whatever. (We do not want to spend a fortune on sending something to TRL). Just a whole bunch of BSB decorated empty boxes would be hilarious. If you would like to include a letter or anything you can aswell. I have another idea from someone else which may be fun to put in the boxes.
Thanks to Jen and her group for this idea (please email bsb_xtasy@yahoo.com for more details:
"A few years back, the fans sent in Chapstick to Carson because they thought he was an asskisser...and he kept them and collected them. The Mature Fan Club went to TRL one day and he invited them into his office and he opened this drawer he had that was full of it all with the letters and cards that fans sent in. We are thinking about doing this again....only instead of chapstick, we are thinking POP ROCKS, the candy.....with a card that has a specific note to MTV and TRL about how we demand our BSB. We are trying to get as MANY fans as possible involved in this, so spread the word and give them my contact info. because I think I'm in charge of the mailings and a friend of mine is starting a site and working as a group!
If you have any ideas to help with this, lemme know!! Bascially, we're working for the same thing....to get MTV to play BSB and OPEN PANDORA'S BOX....hence, Operation Pandora's Box. Just get my name and contact info out there so that we can get everyone that we can involved and aware!"
If you would like to put the pop rocks in a box please contact bsb_xtasy@yahoo.com because that is something her group is doing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who cannot make it, a few people have suggested that you contact your local media and arrange a group/meeting with radio stations and try to get on air and talk to them about what the media is doing to BSB. If you can please try, if not, just request JWYTK on the radio stations on September 15th and tell them you would like to dedicate it to the fans protesting in NYC and ask them if they can say that on the air. Maybe it will work maybe not? But its worth a try.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, for those going to be in NYC this is the plan.
A few people would like to go to the Today Show so that we get more media exposure. If you would like to do this please LET ME KNOW ASAP! Fight4BSB@Yahoo.com
Because there is a lot of time between the Today Show and TRL we are going to try to find out if we can go the Z100 or media source in the city. Again, I am not from NYC so if you New Yorkers can help me out and find some that we can get to in NYC that would be great. Fight4BSB@YAHOO>COM
TRL will be shot between 5 and 6 pm. And the arrival time is 3:30 pm. I am setting a time of 2 pm. So if you get there a little late that will be okay. We also want to see if there are any empty spaces up stairs and see if we can get a few fans up stairs as well. So if you come early you may be able to go up. I have about 30 people who have said they are coming. Thank you to those people. If you can make it email Fight4BSB@yahoo.com
We have many people who want their names on posters. Because it is very rapidly growing, I think we should have a giant banner and write their names on it. It would be so much easier, but if you would like a personalized poster let me know at FIGHT4BSB@yahoo.com

On a personal note:
I am leaving tomorow for the show in Washington State/ Portland Oregon concert. So, I have handed over my account to someone else. So, the emails will be answered but it may not be as quick as I usually am. For those who have emailed me, I try VERY HARD to answer you within 24 hours.
If anyone is in that area and can help me out that would be great.
I need
(1) If someone could pick my mom up at the airport, she will be arriving on Friday. Her email is Fatimaslight@hotmail.com If you can help us out please email her and let her know. I am driving there tomorow morning, a 42 hour trip. WHOO HOO!! lmao. So, I may not be able to because I am planning on handing out flyers about this at the concert.
(2) Like, I said, I am handing out flyers. If someone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I am also going to have a hand written petition with me to bs signed by the BSB fans there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact me at my personal email GlitteryCheerleader@Yahoo.com It may take a bit for me to respond because I do not have a computer and will be using my cell phone for what little time I spend on the net.
Thank you all so much!
Please take part on the September 15th project. (We need a name for this thing if anyone would like to think of one! lol)
Please send this to all your message boards/groups/chats/email lists/friends/whatever. We need to let people know what it is going down the 15th.
KTBSPA!!!
