**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...

Good luck with that!

I have a lead on a lawyer for you (jumping to your other post).

If I get a name (and a recommendation), I'll let you know. I have some family in OK who have a small business and have a lawyer they used for that. Just waiting on the email...
