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 HAVE thought of that....

We have two Native Americans (not to mention that the Queen is 1/4 Navajo!) in Cap'n Black's Sea Dogges and one of 'em is a drummer...so that's a definite possibility!

That would be beautiful! I don't know if I ever mentioned I'm from OK...in my experience, esp for an event for a Casino, there shouldn't be any trouble at all getting professional Native American dancers in full dress. It would even be period!!! Squee!!!

It is! I admit it! It would be hard to get away with at just any faire, but at a casino in Oklahoma it would be perfect! What an opportunity!

I'll look into that as an idea for the Opening; I'll admit both that I was stumped for an idea for that and that I'm utterly intriqued with the idea. It would attract more of the local folk and more, I think, of the folk who wouldn't necessarily usually come to a Renfaire.

Thank you!
