**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...

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?

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

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. ;-)

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!

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

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

Yes! Not a huge budget for it since we hadn't discussed it before but I built in some 'wiggle room' so I'll bet we can work it out.

Excellent! I'll let the guys know.


And if five rings is going to be there, and a certain redheaded swords woman, I can just about guarantee Thad will be as well.

Plus he really does enjoy his butcher.

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

[identity profile] decembertyger.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
not a prob :D It was my pleasure!

[identity profile] ladyegreen.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow, major congrats. I'm thrilled for you.

Much love and joy for you.

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly what I was thinking and yes, Five Rings will be there. *grin* I even think I counted in a room just for them...

It wouldn't be the same without our butcher anyway.

That would be awesome!

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

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks honey! This has a feeling of RIGHTness about it that I've never quite experienced before!

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2008-09-04 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I think so too! Great to finally be able to do something that suits all my experience. Now to market the next ones...
