Wednesday Madness

Hello there, fair adversary. It doth seem you hath been eyeing our classy blog. We hath madeth progresseth. Weeth areth very anticipant to forsee events forthcoming. We doth change thee location and timeth. 

Enough with the old english. It's been a long day and I may be going slightly crazy.

We worked today, and it's been a rocky road getting here...

I scream for ice cream! Seriously though, it's been rough. We have some conflicting ideas and personalities in the group, and it's been a challenge learning how to work together. 

After a long talk we've had this afternoon, we've decided to changing our location for the paintball event, and pushing the event back one week. It's a tough decision, and we're still ironing out the details. Moving the event back a week would make things much easier on us, and it creates less schedule conflict. The only concern about moving the event is how much control we'll have if we change our partner paintball park. We've given a lot of thought to the decision, and we're in favor of moving the event. We've found out that Bandapalooza falls on Saturday, the 8th, which will draw away Sage students. It would be better to move to Sunday, the 16th, to have a better group following.  

We've also started editing short clips from all of our interviews together, into a documentary commercialish video to gain attention for the event, and show people what we've been working on the past two years. We're going to have voiceovers with ourselves talking about what the project means to us, mixed with quotes and stories from the interviews.

Alaina has also finished a fabulous poster we can hang up in various locations to gain even more support. 

We've also decided to work with Extreme Pros Paintball to accomplish our event. The amount we will be working together is yet to be decided, but our contact is a friend who we trust, and we are excited to work with him. We'll be meeting either today or Friday to wrap up the details. We need to figure out the finances behind this event. We already have a fair amount of money we've raised by selling gummy soldiers. We need to figure out how much we'd be able to make from this event, how we're going to make that money, and how we're going to share that money with our partners, and give a sizable donation. We're currently thinking that ten percent of ticket price for the event could be donated, but it's not set in stone until we have our meeting. 

Thanks for sticking with us through this difficult journey, we couldn't have done it without support from our friends and our panel. Save the date, March 16th, because this is happening.
