Putting the Fun back into Fundraiser

mythtellerSo we had a fabulous show last night at the Empress. Many thanks go to Eric Gauthier who wowed the audience with his stories of moose antlers and french fries. Zimmerman regaled us with tales of the Devil, the Sky God, and Terror at the Shot Clinic.
I wanted to prepare a new story for this show, but my deadlines have been so crazy that I haven't had any mental time to prepare for it. So I went with the tested and true stories of mermaids and blue hippos.
This fundraiser was also supposed to kick-off a series of storytelling evenings at the Empress. We've tentatively set a day (Tuesday nights) and we need to pick an interval that doesn't conflict with other events. I'm going to apply to the CALQ for some funding so that I can get some tellers in from away (outside of Montreal).
Of course, we will also have local tellers, but I want everyone who performs to be paid. But this is also supposed to be a fundraiser for the Cultural Centre, so a performance budget would be really helpful.
The other happy news is that I was able to send the Second Draft of the biography to the printer, so I'm supposed to be getting it back today. I met with the leather guy last night and he's promised the leather cover by the end of today as well.
So that leaves me with the final deadline for my technical documentation client, which is the end of next week. I'm doubley motivated to make that deadline because next weekend is the last LARP game of the season. If I have to give up my last LARP for work, I will be *very* upset.
