**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...

you had mentioned you wanted them but we never talked about it in detail, so whatever we can wiggle is acceptable

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.

Wow. You are spreading Ren Love all over the place! Hmmm. I'm sure it's not as moist as it sounds...

Games is actually within Becky's purview but let me talk with her about it (after her son's wedding this weekend) and then we'll figure it all out via email or at faire 3rd weekend.

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, honey, but there'll be time; it isn't like this is going away any time soon!

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, hon! More details will definitely follow....and a web-site, and brochures and all that.

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
