Done

Final days

Hi team.
Okay, let’s get this done, if possible this weekend. Amy will be coming on Tuesday morning to see the progress.
The base for the “puppy field” should be 12feet x 16feet. She said she will be picking up the flowers tomorrow to drop them off. Shauna is meeting up with her tomorrow morning to pick up the greenery for the puppy field. Do not make it too complicated because we have to transport it.
Amy is renting a van and we will be transporting everything Thursday evening after 5;00, I will let you know when exactly.
I will be here tomorrow for a workshop with new students and I will stop by to see what we need.

Great job everybody, you guys are amazing. Even though all the designs are not becoming reality, I think that they were awesome.
So, let’s give the final go at it and get it done. Please communicate among you to make sure that you come here and work together.
See you tomorrow and thank you again for the hard work. Looking forward to the final pieces.

Starting Work

Hi All.

Three of us met today to discuss the status and next steps for constructing everything for the event on the 28th. Below is a snapshot of what was discussed. Some folks will be meeting in room 525 on Wednesday night at 5 to start work...and again on Thursday at 5 (and throughout the weekend as necessary). It's crunch time! Please make every effort to come by and help. The event is next weekend!!!

1.) Our Client, Amy, is dropping the materials off today (1/18). All materials will be in room 525--our workspace for the duration. (Stay in the pink space only please).

2.) Our Client would like the cost of what was spent on supplies to go down. Therefore, anything we don't use will need to be returned. Please don't open things unless we need them. Also, everything in the big room by the Mezzanine is available to us--check there first before purchasing or opening anything.

3.) In order to access room 525, you will need to either knock (if someone is already there) or contact one of the following people that have access to the room:

Shauna

Elizabeth C.

Natalie

Annie

Jaclyn

I will send phone numbers of these people in a separate email in order to maintain confidentiality.

4.) Spray painting

We will need to spay paint portions of the "Oz Gates." If anyone lives in the suburbs/areas where spray paint is sold, please let us know. We'd appreciate if you could please purchase 3 cans of bright purple spray paint and 3 cans of silver spray paint (both in high gloss). All spray painting will need to be done outside in the loading doc area, as we all are aware.

5.) Template for the "Oz Gate"

-Annie will be bringing in large paper to create a template (to scale) of the letters "O" and "Z" as well as some of the decorative elements. (paper to be brought in tomorrow).

-A template will be made on the paper and brought to the carpenter (Shauna to deliver) ASAP.

-The carpenter will cut out these elements for us.

That's the latest. Please come by and help out as much as you can. We will really need extra hands.

Thanks,

Natalie

Let's Get Started

Hi All,

Now that the break is over, was wondering about the schedule to get together to start preparations for the event on the 28th. I just got back into town last night and don't know if anything was discussed since nothing is posted.

Thanks,

Natalie

Backdrop

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
