Re: Invoice for Boiler Room

Thanks, Teja! I know Danielle is out today. 

Danielle, I have given the green light for them to move forward with hosting this event in an off-campus venue. I'm also fine with a cash bar, since that would be at each attendee's expense.

Subject: Invoice for Boiler Room

 

Hi Danielle and Gabe, 

We just received an invoice for Roar Night Club to host a boiler room style event as a collaboration between J&G and Sound on April 10. They mentioned that Penn had already onboarded them as a vendor. Do you mind checking on that for us? The total venue cost would be $3,000. The initial invoice is just a deposit of $1,000 to secure the date. The capacity for the venue is ~500. They would be able to differentiate between 18+ and 21+ audiences. There is no bar minimum, but we are tentatively thinking about offering a cash bar. We are especially comfortable with the cash bar as we are looking to end the event by 10:30PM. 

Please let me know if you need any more information. Here is the link they sent for the invoice: https://square.link/u/vfEvakeh?src=sms

Best, 

Teja

Thanks for the update, Teja! Yes, Roar is a PO vendor.

Hi all, 

Unfortunately, we ran into an unforeseen roadblock. DJ Mandy, who we were told by the agent was free on our proposed date, just announced a conflicting tour date. With that, we are back to the drawing board. For now, let us hold off on the invoice. 

I will ask Roar for other dates of availability. However, in the meantime, we will need to consider other options for talent. Gabe, do you know which bios were already sent to DPS and/or which were approved?

Best, 

Teja
