Kick-Off Event @ Splat Space ??
Ashley McClelland
I’d like us to schedule a lightning talk/kickoff event for Friday,
November 5th @ 7pm (??) at Splat Space– Open to other dates, but thought a Friday might
be good since it will inevitably go late and we can make it an event/party. I
want it to be a big “grand opening" style event for our space, aimed towards
recruiting new members and getting people inside the space.I envision this being a pretty snazzy event for which we can even try to recruit sponsors for food/beverages and invite big names in the community to come give a talk.
Another good idea (before that event) might be to schedule a “build out” day sometime this month where we do things like paint, decorate the walls, hang up whiteboards, and make things look snazzier than they currently do—give the space some character. I’m open to ideas on this and dates.
I know I’ll be at the space this Saturday – and may grab some paint, too. I’m interested in painting the pipes to put a little color in the room and also remind us where they are. :) I was thinking red, but we could probably go with logo colors even if we thought that was snazzy, too. Any other ideas on this or people who are free this weekend and would like to do some aesthetic work on the space?
Will mention tomorrow as well.
Also, I’ll be at the space tonight (Monday) ~6:30-9pm w/ Alan for make/craft
night. We’ll either be crocheting, soldering, or making music-- or all of the above. :)
Cheers,
Ashley

The two dates I have in mind currently are Thursday, November 11th and Friday, November 12th -- both @ 7pm.
Feedback? Thursday versus Friday? We'll also need people to give talks, so start thinking about your 5 minutes worth of glory to share with everyone! :D

Thursday (11/11) is the monthly TriLUG meeting which will pull some
of our members and target audience away.
