Dork show, Summer Edition
Jul. 12th, 2004 07:14 pmSo, I am considering many stupid things.
First of all, I want to go to Michigan this weekend. I keep putting it off, but my grandmas aren't getting any younger or more healthy. I promised my family I would come up sometime this summer. I promised myself that I would visit the Silver Leaf faire, and I promised the Lake I would return.
So.
Now all I have to do is finagle the trip in the few days remaining this week. It could happen.
Secondly, I am contemplating an event this fall. I might link it to Crystal Spiral, I might not. Depends upon what kind of venue I can dig up.
I want to throw a Goblin Ball. I want it to become a fundraiser for the Troupe. I have things I want to throw funds at (large, expensive things) and I need some cash flow to make it happen. I have been threatening to throw a Goblin Ball for a while now, ever since the last Spring Fling. In California, a couple of years ago, someone threw a gigantic event that mirrored the Bubble Ball from Labyrinth. I may not be able to put together something quite as grand as all that, but I bet I could put something similar together.
Who wants to help?
I have in mind a ballroom or club, decorated extravagantly like the fantasy kingdom of Jareth, but with my own touches and art direction. I have a DJ already in mind, and very specific musical choices. I want a bubble machine, fog machine, and glitter everywhere. I want there to be actors in costume, performing random bits of theater, comedy and drama for the crowd. I want there to be pupeteers interacting with each other and the crowd. I want drinks and small tidbits to nibble upon.
I need to make the event lavish, and invite the more-money-than-brains crowd to attend. (You poor people who can't afford to spend $40 or more for a Masque, can come anyway if you promise to work...)
Allura suggested that we get local artists (read: us) to make Goblin Masks, and your "ticket" at the door is your Masque. I figure that I can get very nice feather masks fairly cheap from one of my wholesale catalogs, and simple Domino masks as well, to be decorated by troupe members and local artists. It makes a nice souvenir, after all.
Thoughts?
