Progress

Hi everybody,
Thank you Liz and Natalie, it looks great so far.

I will get the green food dye for Thursday. I have the spray in my office and I will bring it upstairs today. Rita also helped to make some paper poppies for the tables.

Annie will be finishing the backdrop drawing by tomorrow and post it on the blog.
Emily could you take it from the blog and put it in the power point?

I am picking up the tableclothes and the chargers from the Fairmont hotel tomorrow evening because the overlays are coming tomorrow from BBJ.

I think we are in good shape for Thursday, thanks everybody for doing a great job.
We are still meeting at 10:00 in room 106 to set up.

I want you guys to handle the presentation, they are your ideas.
Figure out who will start the presentation.
After Thursday, and once we get the okay for everything, it is full force production time.
Let me know if there are any questions.

Status of Center Pieces

Hi All,

Liz and I were able to get a great start on the center pieces this afternoon. Both pieces are in our workspace (room 525).

Remaining work:

Candle Center Piece:
-Add green food coloring to each bottle (water has already been added)--should be done Thursday prior to presentation

Branch Center Piece:
-Spraypaint the branches with the gold spraypaint (spraypaint is not in 525--hopefully someone purchased some over the holiday weekend)
-Add green food coloring to water in vase (optional)-should be done on Thursday prior to presentation
-Add "flower balls" to base

Optional:
-Add green LED lights (that are able to be in water) to vases and branch vase (currently we only have red ones--if someone has green or can get green, I think this would be best. Otherwise, I think we should leave it as is.

For set-up on Thursday from 10-12:
-Set-up place-settings and tables in room 106
-Transfer center pieces to room 106
-Add green food coloring to vases
-Review PPT presentation and flow of presentation (who is saying what)

I will not be able to assist on Tuesday or Wednesday because of classes. However, I will see you all on Thursday at 10:00.

Thanks,
Natalie

Emily, My center piece is attached in color, for the PPT presentation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

ORDER

Harrington is ordering most of the stuff for us.
I have not ordered any emerald gems because I could not find any online, or they were too expensive. If you find something forward it to me and I will order it.
I’ll try Michaels this weekend.
I will pick up the food coloring .
Emily or Gloria can you buy the gold glitter spray – let me know.
Annie did you pick up the Styrofoam balls and the fabric, please let me know, otherwise I need to order them.
Please start communicating through the blog for times to meet so we can start putting the stuff together.
We should have the order early next week.

Great job everybody.

munchkin land

Thinking about the Chefs' Focal Point:

To accommodate the number of chefs' stations for which the guests can vote, mailboxes could line the platform with a few larger sized munchkin houses in the center (maybe these actually are raised by the platforms we found in the mezzanine). Giant lollipops hold a gold banner that could read something like "VOTE for the best food in Munchkinland". We could also recreate the oversized fake flowers that exist in this scene of the movie. There's also potential to add the yellow brick road to the ground of the platform. 

 For the staircase, I added a tornado swirl at the base since we talked about that change in the last meeting. We could use the mesh from the mezzanine along with some of the white fibers and stuffing for  clouds. Perhaps we spray paint some of the stuffing gray since it is a storm.
