**taps*** Is this thing on?

*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...

I look forward to hearing how this turns out. It sounds like you worked hard for it, deserve it, and have the resources to make it fly like a kite.

Yep, you're definitely on the budget spreadsheet and the hotel list!

Now we dance the Polka of Glee...

YEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!! Can you hear me up north? I just squeeeeeee'd with happiness for ya. Ooooooooo, I can hardly stand the excitement. I may have wet myslf a little. Okay, just kiddng. Well, maybe. Oh, I feel a happy dance acomin' on. Yep, off to dance maniacally around room with the puppies.


Okay, back now, my dogs, they are not so bright. They don't understand why we are dancing for Faire-A-La-Carte. WE ARE DANCING BECAUSE IT IS ONLY 22 MINUTES away.
I am so kick-ass happy for you. I know you will run a terrific show. I want to be a part of it. I have a faboo house for rendevous and I could be a whore/paramedic. Email is as follows: mcclrho@aol.com. See you this weekend. Hopefully, I will not have as many patients and will be abl to catch a whole show. Ya'll sound great whenever I run by. I really like the one that has you oooooin or humming. Not sur, but it sounds like a lament of a sort. I'l try to figure out which one it is. Geez, I am so pumped, I am gonna go clean my house. And sew. And wash my car. And mke cookies. And whatever else I can get into.

*chuckle* I hum in a lot of them because I don't (yet!) play a melody instrument to cover those harmonies during instrumentals. But I'm betting that the lament you're talking about is "Kilkelly" and yes, it is the saddest song we know.

I do need to talk with you this weekend regarding what might be needed for Joust arena stuff. We may not actually be able to have a Joust because he doesn't wanna do anything that will harm the turf he had put down...and I'm thinking that just won't work. You might actually run there at some point and look at the Arena for yourself; see if anything to either side of the stage might work to be easily and inexpensively make it a safe Jousting area for a two man joust...if you have time and wouldn't mind.
