German caller
I’m happy to welcome a new member of staff. Max Junghanns. He will be working part time calling German advertising agencies to promote the collective.

Xmas dinner
Keep this date free: 14^th December. It will be the collective xmas dinner in Amsterdam. The Waag this year.

Mass-emailer - new members
A mass-email went out last week promoting our new members.

Timesheets
All invoices must also include corresponding timesheet entries on them, including date worked. It’s not enough just to put the start and end dates. It’s very confusing otherwise to add up totals.

Collective drinks
Only two people came to the last drinks. A failure. You obviously need more incentive. The next night will be a poker tournament. Details to follow.

Launch party
If you’re in Amsterdam on Thursday 9^th November, come to the Melkweg. It’s the launch of my new album Long Live Love. All collective members are entitled to free guestlist, but it would be great if you could bring friends, loved ones, strangers from the street, as we had to hire the venue and want to at least break even. www.myspace.com/thejackstaffordfoundation If you want to be on the list please forward this email to sanna@therecordcompany.net with your name in the body.
