Potluck It

Hey.

So I think I should further explain how much cheaper the potluck idea would work. Here's the breakdown I've come up with:

There are roughly 40 of us. And we are estimating about 700 people to come to this event (that's the number we came up with in class today).
If each person cooks for 18 people we will have enough food.
We can decide on 5 items to make. Then have 5 groups of 8 make the dishes (meaning all the people in one group will make the same item).
As far as expenses are concerned, I am estimating about $20 a person which totals to $800.

So with $20 and an hour or two of your time, we could have simple homemade opening.

As far as suggestions for what to make:
Cookies
Brownies
Baked Ziti
Wraps
If any vegans, vegetarians have special dishes that are easy to make in bulk PLEASE let me know. I know nothing of the sort.


Let me know what you all think.
I don't think it should be shot down so quickly because it causes you to work a few more man hours. If everyone pulls their weight and gets it done, it could be really great.


ALSO: I'd add another $100-$150 for the little things: Utensils, Warmers (those little flame things under the food that needs to keep hot), Tray Holders, Napkins, Drinks. The first three items can be bought at Amazing Saves for pretty cheap, or even the dollar store. Napkins and Drinks could be bought by someone who has a costco/sam's membership card.

So all in all we are talking about $1,000 at the most for a fully prepared opening. Pretty cheap.

Fund raising

hey Guys,

Just a reminder from last class. The Fund Raising committy has asked the whole group to contribute at least $10 by February 19th. If you have any problems please feel free to speak to me.

Thanks

Naming the show:

Hey guys, I just started the BFA Thesis Exhibition Group 2 blog, I apologize for not posting the contact roster (I emailed it to all of you, Vinny and Kelly, I fixed the two typos in your information). It should be on the blog by the end of the weekend, as well adding everyone as a blog author (meaning we all will be able to post). On the right sidebar you'll find all the Exhibition Group segments. If there are any problems, concerns, questions, or any information I've missed, let me know. Hopefully this thing will be up and running soon.

As we discussed today, the best method of determining a name for our group's exhibition would be for each member of the "publicity group" to give a very brief description/explanation/suggestion for a show title. After the publicity group compiles a list, our whole exhibition list will vote to reach a final decision. If the publicity group could kindly state their suggestion via a comment sometime in the next few days, that'd be great. Thanks.
