THANKSGIVING PERFORMANCE OF WINE AND ALCHEMY- TRF MCLOTOFUS CAMP

[Blue66669]

Wine and Alchemy
Performing LIVE at Clan Mclotofus
Closing Weekend, on Saturday Night- 11/29/08
9pm at our CAMP!

Please use this thread to sign up if you wish to donate, and RenMail me the amount that you are pledging so that I can keep track of how much we need. So far, we've received 110.00 in donations/pledges, so only 290.00 more to reach our goal.

Also, to make sure that the band is compensated well, we will also instill a "pass the hat" for them to cover the obvious influx of NON clan members that will undoubtedly arrive.

Do we wish to make this a "private clan party"? Or will we welcome everyone, and just have them put a donation into the till for our camp? These are things we should discuss, so let's get talkin!

[Martin Montgomery]

 Blue!! Wonderfull Idea!!!  Count me in!!!

[Lady Guinevere]

I think it's a great idea!!!

[Lady Ann of Draycott]

Great idea! Count me in!!

LE SQUEEE! Now, if they are not able to come on Thursday (due to family obligations), I'm also suggesting a Saturday night show- last night of the season that we'll all be together. Remember, if we get enough people, the cost per person will reduce DRASTICALLY!

[KiltedPrivateer]

I will have about 10 in the Procrastination camp Thursday night.  We'd be happy to contribute since we're camped right around the corner from ya.  What a great way to spend Turkey Day.  Feasting and merriment in the campgrounds.  Huzzah!

[Taarna]

Count the Yard Troll and I in of course! I think it's wonderful Mark would agree to do this! HUZZAH!

Oh wait... how well do you know Adrian?? Any chance of a Tartanic showing?? (wishful thinking) LOL

we have had them out to our camp (emuziki) and it was money well spent.  as for time played, I don't remember, but our crew felt really good afterwards so it must have been long enough.

a tip or two if i may...

this was my first time hiring a band to come to our camp and play and i discovered i was ill prepared...

i was so excited about them coming that i forgot to:

1. have chairs for them
2. cook for them
3. have a pre-determined, somehow marked off place for them to play so that it was clear where the band was supposed to be and where the crowd was supposed to be.
4. prepare for the "neighbors" who invariably showed up once the great music started
5. prepare for the drunks that showed up

I wish you well and compliment your taste in music!

Welcome to the pity party.  We have extra sackcloth and ashes.

UPDATE!!!

Mark came by my shop on Saturday, and he and I talked some things out.

First of all, we're moving the performance date to SATURDAY night, so that our people that have family commitments can still make it, and so that Wine and Alchemy can be with their loved ones on this holiday. The price is 400.00, and we have already begun accepting donations. All money is due BY the Friday before the performance. Cash only please, per their request.

I have extended an invitation to Mark and the rest of Wine and Alchemy to join us here on the boards. Hopefully they'll jump right in!

I think we're gonna go ahead and do this, and let everything else kinda fall into place. Any objections?

[Taarna]

HUZZAH! I am so happy and excited! I wish I had known for sure I would have slipped thee a pound or two toward the cause Lady Blue. We shall be in attendance as I already have procured our entrance for the final weekend.. (or most of it anyway.)

I can't wait! (although I hate for it to end) I want to live in that world.... Mundania blows....
