Okay, I'm officially a screwball.

wolfwingsFirst, car status...
Need to get the rear passenger-side wheel well hammered back out again, but that can wait. I 'flattened' the edge (it was already rounded, but had 'bowed out' from the collission) so it won't damage the tires until I can hand the car to Patrick when he goes into welding class next semester and agreed to take on the car as a 'shop project' for me, also to remove the rear windows and replace with internally-latched 'covers' so I can mount gear inside and access it from outside. Basically, nothing that complicated, and pretty ideal for someone taking welding class to have for practice. =^.^=
Oh, and the car seems to be getting still-insane MPG values, especially when I'm (ab)using 4th gear on this tank of gas. It's easilly going to be able to get to the bay area on a tank of gas, though getting back will take another fill from the looks of things until I can get the 4th gear from the 5-speed 'HF' series of Civic which will limit the top speed in 4th gear to around 75-85, but push MPG up well over 40MPG. So, yeah, I'll have a 3-speed transmission with overdrive, more or less.
Next, randomly-aquired job status...
Still working Labor Ready when my body will allow it. Going to look into Allied Security, and a couple of Limo/Courier Driver jobs as soon as I get the insurance and registration sorted out on my car. (Right now, the 'dead person' has insurance on it still, until I get a probate form filled out and submitted, then I can get insurance for the car. Don't ask.)
Finally, the real 'meat' of this post.
I've somehow aquired the job of being in charge of Cabaret/Fur le Dance for CaliFur next year. So, um... anyone out there interested in dancing next year? I'm still before the point of even knowing what kind of stage layout we'll have, but I'd like to start hunting for dancers earlier, rather than latter. As the website says, it'll be May 20th-23rd in Costa Mesa, CA, at the Holiday Inn. Beyond that, nobody knows much more just yet. But if you want to dance, or know someone that wants to dance (and erotic/topless/nude/costumed/live steel swords/whatever-the-hell dances are okay too, this isn't a competition or a judged event, it's a charity function) please point them to this post. The earlier they poke at me, the more they can comment on the setup and process, so if they want to do something strange or off the wall, I can attempt to accomidate them.

Date: 2004-09-21 01:07 am (UTC)Not a harsh problem (given that I can do most of my work from the game room), excepting that same executive decider only expects to spend $50 for renting a projector or two over the weekend... which is a fifth of what a 2000 lumen projector (woefully underpowered) costs for one day. :b
He might just go insane when I break it to him that the bare-minimum to overcome a rave lighting arrangement without being barely-visible would be 4000 lumens, which the cheapest I've found runs $450/day.
Hopefully we might be able to find someone down in this area with a Barco or two that would be borrow-able. Yes, I'm spoiled. :D
Actually, no, you don't. :-)
Date: 2004-09-21 12:48 pm (UTC)That, and the 'Lead' mostly handles the pre-planning and high-stress stuff before the Con. At the Con itself, I'll have the rest of the sub-staff to help handle things. Puma Cheyenne and Stalking Cat are my current official staff, but Digital Panther is there, and Patrick will be as well, and both of them have lots of experience either with Cabaret directly (Digital Panther), or with shows in general (Patrick) so there's layers upon layers of backups here, thankfully.
I'm mostly acting as the 'Furry Phonebook' to locate and aquire dancers, as nobody else has the contacts I do. =^.^=
At least I think you'll like the new 'game room' a lot better.
Date: 2004-09-21 12:50 pm (UTC)And as for a BarCo... yeah, I wish we could borrow one of Smash's projectors for CaliFur. That would truly rock, but it's beyond unlikely. =^.6=

Date: 2004-09-21 03:27 pm (UTC)Truely, all I need is the price of one membership, and I can get prizes for one event that are cool,a nd that's all this con really needs. I'm going to be getting back on the issue of company support after the home situation restabalizes.
