**taps*** Is this thing on?

[rowangolightly]

*ahem*


SQUEEEEEEE!

I just signed the biggest contract of my entire life (excluding the purchase of a house, you understand) with the Sac-Fox Casino in Shawnee, OK to produce the first official event of "Faire a la Carte" which will be a Renaissance Festival on November 8 & 9, 2008.

Details to follow after I dutifully notify the board members and the performers. But I know that some of you were waiting on pins and needles for this news.

First order of business is to send out contracts (ok, FIRST is to assemble a few missing email addresses to which to send the contract) and then the second will be to hire an attorney to make this new business official. We already have the PO box and tomorrow I'll go open a bank account.

To say that I'm excited would be a vast understatement. I went into a room with the General Manager, the Director of Operations and their Marketing Director and kicked butt. After a bit of discussion, clarification and Q & A, the GM read completely through and signed the contract, a copy of which I have in my little pink hand.

Now I'm off to make broccoli beef...

Thanks, hon! You'll have your very own contract and your very own paycheck as will Thad (haven't asked him yet if he's interested in the gig or can, for that matter though!)

The travel expense money will be included in Bob's check.

I be organized!

WOO HOO!!!

I'm so excited!

I've heard back from two of the three ladies I invited to wench with me, with one positive and one regretful negative.

There is pubbing tonight at the Laughing Wench, and Smog and I are attending...any chance we will see you there, or will you be up to your elbows in contracts?

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Bruce wasn't particularly wanting too, still tired from the weekend, and I am up to my armpits but I'm too excited at the moment to get to much of anything productive, so YES, we'll be there!

[achan-hiarusa.livejournal.com]

Awesome, I'll have to see about coming out.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome!

[rhiannontherose.livejournal.com]

HUZZAH and congratulations! How thrilling, on so many levels! Wish I could be involved, but I guess I'll just live vicariously through your posts for a while. ;-)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! I look forward to a time when you can be involved!

[mistresangelfur.livejournal.com]

congrats!!! There will be a place for games, yes?

Sooooo.... you had a good day, then?

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

*chuckle* Yeah, you might say that...

[ladyegreen.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, major congrats. I'm thrilled for you.

Much love and joy for you.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks honey! This has a feeling of RIGHTness about it that I've never quite experienced before!

[ar-wahan.livejournal.com]

Well done! (Funny how both our self-employed "consultant" careers have taken off at 53! Must be a good year...)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

I think so too! Great to finally be able to do something that suits all my experience. Now to market the next ones...

[greeneyedtengu.livejournal.com]

OOoo. That sounds like so much fun! I have a serious faire jones going on too! Blah!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

I know, honey, but there'll be time; it isn't like this is going away any time soon!

[ericcoleman]

Congratulations ... makes me wish I had a Ren act ... oh well ... I do want to get down that way for a gig sometime though ...

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[srgmatt.livejournal.com]

Wow! Yea, verily, thou rockest! Congrats, luv - I'm sure it'll be a great experience. Have fun!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear! One of the acts is Cut, Thrust and Run...

[duane-kc.livejournal.com]

Conga-rats. Glad to hear this is taking off.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear. And thank YOU for playing Devil's Advocate; that is VERY helpful. Eventually we'll get the Soup Kitchen there but this venue is TOO SMALL; we may not even end up with the Joust there this time due to space restrictions.

[pms-inc.livejournal.com]

Luv to hear about your bubble over with joy success! Well done Ms. Thang! You brought it and they bought it- so go on girl! I'd like to plan a trip down to see this- looking forward to details as they come together~

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! More details will definitely follow....and a web-site, and brochures and all that.

[kauricat.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! I'm so happy for you!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[lys1022.livejournal.com]

Congrats :)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[bleuberi21.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! *nikki happy dance*

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and QG's price went up...

[smokin-man.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Did you say broccoli-beef???

Yuummm

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yes, it turned out pretty good, especially for the first time try. Bruce gave it a 'thumbs up' but I know what I wanna do differently next time and there will be a next time.

[cozit.livejournal.com]

Congrats! (And good luck!)

[cltcmistress.livejournal.com]

YAY! Congrats!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[butterflybill.livejournal.com]

What's the physical environment like? (It ain't gonna be a big echoey room, is it?)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

It's outside in the Heartland Amphitheatre which has a large professional stage at one end and is 5 acres enclosed with a nice wooden fence. It's a tiny, rectangular area next to the Casino in which to put on a whole faire, so we'll be shoe-horned in. And NO amplification will be allowed; otherwise the stages will blast each other out.

Pictures will follow once the web-site gets up and this thing starts being advertised properly.

[kryspykitty.livejournal.com]

Wow....that sounds really exciting!!

Congrats!:)

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! Thanks...

[rogerbarnacle.livejournal.com]

Congrats to you, Susi! You know the Sea Dogges ar looking forward to it. And we'll have CDs by then!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear! You guys will have a couple shows on a real, professional stage. No amplification though, even though the stage has it; just too small of an area for the stages to blast one another.

[margotdevallier.livejournal.com]

That's awesome news dollygirl! YAY!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yeah! And more to follow, but this one first!

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

Congrats to you, sounds like an exciting venue.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! Well, you're going to see it since LMC is booked!
