View Full Version : "Save Ron and Fez In NYC" Sky Writing Campaign

How much of an impact would it be to see "Save Ron & Fez In NYC, 102.7FM" up above and over Manhattan? It would be such a great impact and possible make some headlines. If it can be done for O&A with the slogan "WOW" across the sky, it can be done for our guys. With the story in the Daily News, the hundreds of letters, postcards, and phone calls hitting Infinity and now this happening....we will really save our boys to stay where they belong!

I've researched a couple of websites that will do this. I'm also reaching out to you, if anyone has any information about doing this, or if you know anyone that can do this, it would be appreciated.

Also, I know this is quite expensive. So far the quotes I see are anywhere from $1000.00 to $3000.00. Believe me if I could do it, I would pay for it on my own. I was thinking of possibly starting a donation fund for this. If 100 members donated $10.00, $20.00, or even $30.00, we could do this. It would only take 100 or so members! Think of the wonderful outcome!

If you haven't written a letter yet, donate 10 or 20 bucks!

Give me some feedback on this. If anyone knows someone in this field please email me at LQQIEEE@aol.com.

Also respond if you feel this is a good idea or not.

It may be tough to see
writing in the sky in a place
like New York City. You can
barely see the sky cuz of all
the skyscrapers. How
about over the Hudson
River somewhere?
Honestly though, I don't
know how worth it it would
be at a price like that... Most
people would just see it
and be confused.

It would make an IMPACT. Obviously there won't be an address to write to Mr. Sykes at Infinity up in the air. We're trying to make some headlines and perk some people's attention. It owuld make a big impact. Also I've seen skywriting over the GWB and the Hudson River, up that way. It was picture perfect. It was also done for O&A too.

They only sky write on a nice day so I'm sure people will see it. Plus if this can really happen with the help and support from everyone, it will be announced here so everyone can try and spot it and take pictures.

I really like AJ's idea about
a plane with a banner
trailing behind it. That
could eliminate potential
problems like winter winds
and the complexity of the
message. And it's probably
cheaper too. Have it fly up
and down the Hudson a
couple times, from say the
GW Bridge to 34th St. or
something.

If we choose not to do the

alternative. Also, I don't

Regarding the skywriting/banner planes:

Not too many outfits do skywriting any more. Paul the pilot is part of a dying breed. Short messages are the norm in that business, so "SAVE RON AND FEZ" may work, but the banner plane idea is somewhat better.

I have a friend who works with one of the local outfits (largest in the country, in fact) and here are some of the costs involved:

~$3 per letter to make the sign,
Between $500 and $600 per hour to fly the message (on site time) There may be transport costs involved, but they shouldn't be more than $50 - $100

Right now, NYC is under flight restrictions, and flying over Manhattan itself is a no-no. I know a guy who just got his pilot's license revoked for doing so. Banner planes can get special permission from the FAA to fly over sporting events, and can fly planes up the rivers around Manhattan.

Serious consideration should be given to having the flight go over highways during rush hour (what else can you look at in bumper to bumper traffic?), such as the GSP, NJ TPKE., the Henry Hudson, the Belt, etc.

If this thing is going to go off, I'll see what I can do about getting a good price...

Everyone thank you for all your feedback.

If you can't do skywriting, then how about one of those planes that has the banner trailing behind it -- like you see at beaches and ballgames?

I just received some replies to my phone calls and emails and skywriting will be out of the question because they won't be available until March or April of next year.

One company said they can fly a banner around the proximity of Jacob Javits Center for a total of six times. I didn't go into the time of day but I will ask for around a time that's still light out before 4pm. He said this can be done within the next 2 to 3 weeks, the sooner the better. We can put 40 letters on the banner and that includes spaces. The cost for this is $775.00. This we can easily afford with everyone's kind donations. A possible sign for this could be:

Save Ron & Fez In NYC 102.7FM
7 to 11pm

This has 39 spaces which would be perfect.

The next company I spoke with can fly a banner as close as they can to the GWB for a total of 3 hours during the day for $1400.00. This can also be done within the next 2 to 3 weeks.

So guys it's up to all of you. But, one thing, we need to be serious here. I want everyone to vote for either the 775.00 or the 1400.00 banner. I also want the people who say they will donate money to ACTUALLY donate money.

This will NOT be done if all the money is not collected and I don't even want to go through the horror of returning money if this is not done.

So please, if you are serious about making an impact that would hit headlines and turn more than a few heads please be serious about this.

I will make a decision based on everyone's votes by Thursday 5pm.

Then we will proceed with how you can donate your money. It will most likely be collected through PayPal. I really don't want checks to be sent to me, but if that's your only alternative then I can make an acception.

So please decide between 775.00 or 1400.00!

My vote goes to 775.00

Also the guy I spoke to about the one for 775.00 said they make wonderful impact over the area we want.

SAVE RON AND FEZ IN NYC!

Great idea Chicken Hawk.

The thing is it has to be 40 spaces, including letters AND spaces.

SAVE RON&FEZ IN NYC GO 2 WWW.RONFEZ.NET

Something like that could work?

Tell me what you think could fit.

Oh and please make a choice between the two of them either 775 or 1400. It would really help out deciding which to do.

Awesome idea! Hopefully whoever that Gary Hansen is he can read this and alert him for us! :)

Yes, let's do this very very quickly!


Also I did just a guesstimate of who posted their donation amount and plus the people who said they would donate and there is approximately $600.00 that is said to be donated. We can do this! Only $200.00 or so more is needed! Ten more people donate $20.00 and see a banner fly over Manhattan. We can REALLY do this.

Ok I will check over the major highways during rush hour. One problem with that is that rush hour is now dark. Even if it circles 6 times around the proximity of the Javits Center, alot of people on foot in the city around there will see it in midday.

Also the other company is another option. Three hours around GWB to 34th and back and forth for 3 hours. Yes it's 1400.00 but it's for 3 hours. I can ask if they can fly around for an hour and a half? Half the price.

Lisa, I think that is a brilliant idea, but maybe in the summer months. Imagine buzzing the beaches and parks? That would be incredible. However, it does get dark early, and whenever money is involved there is always a problem. The full page ad idea is great, maybe not in the Times but perhaps a paper like The Star Ledger, The Bergen Record or even a small ad in the News, Post or Newsday. Again, money is involved, so I foresee problems. That's just my opinion, I don't wanna "shoot down"(sorry, no pun intended) your idea..I like it. I just think press is the best option, along with the letters and postcards. If you do proceed with it, good luck! :)

HECKLER's puns notwithstanding, I think the plane is a great idea. The other ideas are great as well.

I believe we should give consideration to choosing the lower priced plane banner, and with any additional money left over, purchasing additional space in a paper or billboard truck, etc.

Yes I agree and I already spoken to someone who can take care of the press part while doing this banner. If the press can get a hold of this and report what the banner said ALONG with the large number of people that will se it, it's impact. Listen we need to do something, ANYTHING at this point to be heard. It shouldn't matter what it is, just make sure we're HEARD.

Also if we wait until the summer don't you think it will be too late? They fly banners at this time of year, its just that they are flown before dark.

I mean if most of you think this is a bad idea, then we can just forget it. I just want to make an impact and I thought this would be the best way.

The full page ad idea is great, maybe not in the Times but perhaps a paper like The Star Ledger, The Bergen Record or even a small ad in the News, Post or Newsday. Again, money is involved, so I foresee problems. That's just my opinion, I don't wanna "shoot down"(sorry, no pun intended) your idea.

No, just bitter and cantankerous. :)
But seriously, I did say the idea was brilliant. In fact, anything that can attract attention is great. The letter writing, phone calls, even an "informational picketing" outside of Infinity are all effective. My only question about a plane is the season and weather conditions, which I believe is a valid point. Not a criticism, we have to do whatever it takes. I'm behind anything that gets the message out.

I have excellent news! I spoke with an AerialBanners.com representative over the phone just now and they will give us a break and do it for $950.00 to fly from the GWB down the Hudson River to approximately 34th street where the no-fly zone starts for a total flying time of 2 hours! It's $450.00 per hour plus a $50.00 fee for the banner. We are allowed 50 spaces including letters and spaces on the banner. She is faxing me a worksheet as we speak so I can fax her back the message we want on the banner. The banner will be a one line banner that you see at beaches, sporting events, etc...She said this can be done next week. She also said this will be done from sunrise to sunset, she said do not worry about not seeing it, it will be done when it is sunny and bright out.

I am really excited about this ! This can happen and 2 hours is plenty of time to turn heads and give way to the press/media.

I will let you know very soon where you can send your donation.

Now as for the message, what does everyone think about this:

KEEP RON&FEZ IN NYC WWW.RONFEZ.NET&102.7FM7-11PM

Let me know what you think about all of this!

We can do this for them!

Okay, just to be clear, are we talking about planes and smoke? Or, one plane with a banner? Both have been discussed here, and I didn't know which it was. <P>
Also, when would it fly? Too bad it's dark by 7, or else we could fly it and have people tune their radios in to hear the great ones themselves... <P>

No smoke. It will be a banner flown from a plane like you see at beaches and sporting events.

Also I clearly stated above that it will be down during the day in the sunlight. Please read all the posts before you ask questions. :)

Here are your options to contribute your donation, in any amount you want:

Go to Paypal.com

Click the "send money" link.

Put in my email address which is Lqqieee@aol.com

Put in method of payment, either by check or credit card.

Put in amount and hit send.

It's as easy as that.

This is the preferred method because it's quick and I want to get this rolling by next week.


If you prefer to send me a check in the mail, email me at Lqqieee@aol.com and I'll give you information on that, but obviously that will take longer.

I will call AerialBanners.com tomorrow and we will schedule a day. I will let all of you know ASAP what the date and the 2 hour time slot will be.

Send in your donation quickly because we are running out of time!

Thank you for your contribution and support!

URGENT!!!!

The date is set for the flight up and down the Hudson River from the GWB to approximately 34th street.

It will be next Friday, November 22nd from 12pm - 2pm.

It's very very IMPORTANT you send your contribution through PayPal ASAP! The deadline for me to receive your donation is Tuesday, November 19th!

They WILL NOT fly without a payment. I plan to call them and charge it with my debit card, so I need all your donations in my PayPal account so I can tranfer them to my bank checking account. This process takes 2 days to clear so that by Thurdsay the 21st, it will be all in my bank checking account and I can call them and pay with my debit card on Thursday the 21st.

PLEASE ACT QUICKLY!

There are only 7 business days left including today!

This is going to happen everybody! Lets help save Ron and Fez in NYC!

I am strongly considering
skipping my Friday classes
on the 22nd to come home
Thursday night (the 21st), to
witness this go down, IF it
does. I am in Boston and it
would require packing, a 5
hour trip, and missing
Friday classes to see this,
but seeing that plane soar
over the Hudson with a big
Ron & Fez sign waving in
the wind would bring a tear
to my eye, making it all
worthwhile. So, if this
DOES happen, and I DO
come home, can we all
arrange a meeting place
and we can go down to the
river and view it all
together? Whoever's up for
this, let me know.

I don't know if you sent in the text for the banner, but I have a few suggestions:

1. Lose the www. before the ronfez.net (everyone knows that part and if you put ronfez.net in any browser, you'll get here).

2. Let's take advantage of the fact that R&F should be on the radio (albeit in replay) while the banner is flying.

3. The vast majority of people seeing the banner will be in their cars, so raise the priority of the call letters, and lower the website. Also, those looking at the banner while on the computer will have the time and inclination to read the whole thing while drivers will just be able to glance.

So, here's my suggestion (up to 50 characters):

KEEP RON&FEZ IN NYC-102.7FM LISTEN NOW!-RONFEZ.NET

or


KEEP RON&FEZ IN NYC-102.7FM NOW&7-11PM-RONFEZ.NET


When this is a go, I'm sure Ron and Fez can pattern their Thursday Night Show to work for those tuning into the replay after seeing the banner on friday.

Don't change it EffMe.
ronfez.net without the www.
does not exist. It's a page
"under contruction", must
be owned by someone

I had to come back early because I couldn't wait to see if we reached our goal. Well besides the fact the resort we stayed at had no power, running water, or heat due to very bad ice storm in Upstate NY. :(

I am very excited to announce we reached our goal of $950.00!!!

You guys did it!! The Ron and Fez plane will be soaring high up in the sky and proudly waving the banner that will catch the attention of press and thousands of people in the area!

Thank you so much to each and every one of you for making this possible. If it wasn't for all your kind donations this plane wouldn't be flying.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANYMORE DONATIONS! For those who sent me checks in the mail, I have received all of them and they were factored into the $950.00.


I will be transferring all the donations from Paypal into my bank checking account and as soon as it clears, I'm making that phone call to AerialBanners.com and paying them with my debit card over the phone.

I will update all of you when this happens for the final details.


Thanks again everyone!

Now that we got the cost taken care of, lets get any press coverage we can. I know Fuzzybutt is doing a wonderful job with her press release. Heckler is also being kind and talking to some connections. I've also received a few emails from people saying they have connections to the NY Post. Please everyone do what you can do get some coverage on this baby. It's gonna be big!

Also lets get a gathering together to watch this plane. Nothing too crazy but just a small CIVILIZED gathering to watch the plane fly and cheer it on. Anyone who wants to take charge on this would be greatly appreciated!

Bobby P that plane looks so awesome! Nice!



Well I have good news and bad news....

Good news is the plane will still fly. Even better news is that the plane will be flying from the GWB down the Hudson River close to the West Side Highway past Chelsea Piers and down to Wall Street. Then it will fly to the Brooklyn Bridge then over to the Holland Tunnel, then Lincoln Tunnel and around again. I was informed by Keith the pilot that there is no longer a "no-fly zone". This means more exposure!!! :)

Bad news is I'm not sure when. The forecast for Friday's weather looks pretty ugly. They are forecasting cloudy skies with lots of wind and some rain here and there. Keith called me this morning and told me that if it's really windy it will be useless to fly the banner since it will not stay in place.

So, this creates a problem since all the hard work that Fuzzybutt and others did to get press releases all say the flight will be on Friday.

Keith told me that he will call me tomorrow and we will talk about the forecast for Friday if it changes. If it looks like it wont be very windy or rainy, he said he can fly. If it doesn't change then we will have to postpone the flight to Monday the 25th at the same time 12pm to 2pm. Unforunately with Mother Nature we have to wait until the last minute because who knows Friday morning it could be sunnny and perfect conditions to fly. So we have no choice but to be on stand-by. Keith also said he will be on stand-by and he has no problems flying last minute if the weather looks better.

So what do you guys think we should do about the press releases? I'm thinking the best thing is to send another press release saying that Friday's flight is WEATHER-PERMITTING. If the weather is inclement, the flight will be postponed until Monday the 25th from 12pm to 2pm.


I will keep you guys updated tomorrow and up to Friday morning if need be. Who knows decisions might change hour to hour on Friday.


I'm sorry guys but I can't control Mother Nature and man can she be a bitch at times. :(

I really pleaded with Keith and said to him that thousands of people know about this, that we have press/media coverage for this. All he said was he can be on stand-by, I know he doesn't control Mother Nature and he said he will do his best.


Btw-- do Ron and Fez know we're doing this? I know they know about the letter-writing campaign.



Ron knows about it and he's just thrilled and stunned and shocked and doesnt know what to say. I dont think he will mention on the air though until after the fact just to say thank you but I'm not sure we didnt discuss that part.

Also is there a way to send emails to all those press releases?

Don't worry about the Press
Releases. If a paper runs a story
and there's not acutally a flight
that day, is it really a big deal?
The point is to get the media
coverage, if it rains and there are
stories in the paper, that just
extends the exposure window to
2 days.

It's not like angry hordes of
people will demand Ron and Fez
be fired if the promise of a
banner plane doesn't come true.

To the papers, the story is not
that a plane is flying, it's the
lengths to which fans will go to
save their favorite show.

EffMeBoobs
11-20-2002, 01:40 PM
Well I guess they'll use their common sense and see that it's raining and not good conditions for a plane to go out and wave a banner. They might just assume that it's postponed until the next business day which is Monday. Maybe snail mail can be sent anyway and they'll receive it possibly Friday and know that it was postponed until Monday.

I understand what you're saying Dan but it still looks bad when they go and there is no plane.

The bottom line is that the plane flies. No one (EffMe!) should beat themselves up over circumstances they can't control. As long as the press knows that Monday is the rain date they will keep an eye on the story. I just can't wait until it happens!!! A few more days won't change a thing! I hope we see some pictures on ronfez.net! <P>

I e-mailed and faxed as many press releases with the rain date yesterday as I could. I know Heckler is on the job letting the press know, too!

Doc.. The guys appreciate what we(as fans) doing very very much.... I mean what other shows fan base would pony up enough money to buy Airplane time for a banner? There isn't any other show like that... I mean if some reason the Z morning zoo were taken off the air.. does anyone honestly think people would do what we are doing to save it?


If we fail and they are gone... DC needs to give them huge ratings so Infinity will bring them back and maybe syndicate them to Philly and other Cities..

Those idiots on the NY radio board need to have their colons checked since whatever is up their asses is obstructing bloodflow to their brains. I'm the guy who got into the fight with "ed" that eventually got the whole thread deleted. That Sniffen moron hates the show so he deleted the thread, mr. ed continues to post his crap, and he banned me! Good try to get it started again Barb, but all those idiots can say is "ratings". Extenuating circumstances and unmatched fan loyalty means nothing. Lets all hope Infinity can see beyond just numbers and grasp the real picture here.

I just got off the phone with Keith and we are on!!!!!!

Fifteen hours and counting!!!!

Be anywhere near the Hudson River on the West Side Highway, GWB, Brooklyn Bridge or the tunnels from Noon to 2PM tomorrow!

Seriously is anyone meeting up for it? I would love to get together with a few people to witness this! I just have no clue where the best place is to meet. Jersey side I'm thinking the park in Hoboken right off the water. New York side I'm thinking anywhere off the West Side Highway. Anyone up for this?

Thank you everyone! Don't forget to thank everyone else here who contributed because without them this wouldn't be going up in the air. Thanks everyone!!!

I know some have made similar requests here before, but I'd like to add my plea. Since I'll be trapped in my office, slaving away, I can't make it to see the plane fly. Could someone please take pictures and post them here (or offer a link or something to them)? I really, really want to see the plane in action... <P>
Thanks in advance. <P>

So there's a loooong list of folks to thank for this spectacular show of support:

Effme (Lisa) for coming up with the idea, timeline AND the phone calls

Fuzzybutt for flooding the press with her writing talents with those press releases

EVERYONE who helped to critique the original idea

EVERYONE who helped to critique and edit Fuzzy's press release

EVERYONE who kicked in their $$ to PayPal so the plane would fly

That's a LOT of people. . . it kind of reminds me of the end of It's A Wonderful Life where the entire town of Bedford Falls comes together to help out George Bailey. We all heard Ron and Fez are in trouble and didn't think twice about responding to the call to help them out.

Go us!

Congratulations Lisa! Job well-done.

What's next? Let me help! :)

I saw the plane fly high over Chelsea Piers. It was a beautiful moment. I took pictures and I will be getting them developed tomorrow and I will be scanning them!!! Wait until you see, it was breath-taking. It put a big grin on my face to see tons of other people around me look up and read the banner. I will write a big long thank you list to everyone who contributed later on tonight! Without ALL of your efforts this plane would have never flown. To be continued.......

Ok here goes:

I would like to thank Keith the Pilot from 1-800-SKY-SIGN for his wonderful maneuvering to get the word out in the best possible areas.

I would like to thank Fuzzybutt and Heckler for their exhausting and hard efforts on getting out the press releases. We did receive some media coverage which is more than we could ever be thankful for. You guys did an excellent job! Thank you so much!

Big ups to all the Capos, Sweet Melissa, Gvac and others to keep the morale up and to keep the battle going.

Last but not least I'd like to thank all that donated to the banner plane. Again, this plane would not have flown without your love and support.
