Yay, so just got your update on PIEDATE--awesome!!!! Can I just say??? I TOTALLY GOT THE TINGLES when Brianna actually TOOK OUT HER GUM OF HER OWN VOLITION during Toby's romantic rodeo (almost said rodeo-romeo--hahaha!) in my books, that IS A DEFINITE SIGN we are on the right track with those two....
That being said, I am now moving on to items of business for MEGADATE. I have been in contact with the Portland news camera team, who has graciously offered us full usage for the day of the Renaissance Faire in prep for the nightly news spot for our winning team (!) plus celebrity afterparty.
In lieu of that, I have set up a tentative schedule for the two of us to share said camera team, broken down hour by hour. Tell me what you think.
11am-12pm. I do not foresee all of our matches being herded into the faire before eleven, let's face it. So although we are putting "10am sharp" on our programme for the day, I am going with the more realistic 11 as our start time. For this hour I will get camera team at the "Haunted Grotto" attraction. ALSO, while considering the whole point system from the perspective of how much work this would be for you and me, I eventually rethought...I think it would be wisest, since we are publicly broadcasting the date anyway, to let OUR PUBLIC grade the matches according to the 5P system (passion, purity, prowess, poetry, prestige) sending in votes to determine which matches win.
Does that make sense???? I know that I personally do not want to be accused by anyone of showing preference to any of our matches, letting the public vote would allow us to sidestep that concern. Also, the tribe/live voting aspect may drive up our already feverish publicity--GREAT STUFF.
ALSO: IMPORTANT POINT. ANY AND ALL MATCHES, IRREGARDLESS OF TRIBAL AFFILIATION, ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND SCORED EVENTS. WHILE YOU OR YOURS TRULY ARE HOSTING ONE OF THESE, EVERY MATCH WHO HAS A CELL PHONE CAPABLE OF DOWNLOADING THE SCHEDULE I AM GOING TO PERSONALLY OVERSEE THAT THEY RECEIVE SHOULD PROCEED THROUGH THAT EVENT. If any match for any reason objects that they do not possess such a basic necessity (hello, Ethan?!) I will provide a printout that they can lug around faire at their own (in)convenience.
12-1pm. You get camera team for attraction of your choice. I get to wander, regroup, refresh, explore Ren Faire.
1-2pm. Camera team to me for EPIC SWORDFIGHTING EVENT, you rest and recreate, etc.
2--3pm Camera team to you at your event of choice.
4-6pm CAMERA TEAM SPLITS BETWEEN US FOR MEGA-JOUSTING EVENT. Jousting takes place in an arena with surround sports event style seating. You and yours truly get CATERED VIP BOX SEATS at opposite ends of arena where we and our ladies will chill/gossip/cheer on the guys on our respective tribes.
6-7pm Yours truly with camera team at WENCHES BALL.
7-8pm Your choice of event with camera team
8-9pm self with camera team at MEADE HOUSE
9-10pm your choice although faire will be winding down at this point and I may suggest the fireworks show for all of us to regroup since nightly news airs at 10pm from booth RIGHT THERE AT REN FAIRE.
