Hey guys, Just a few things I thought I'd mention in relation to the meeting in St. Pat's tonight. First of all, Bob, could you e-mail the running times of the two one-act plays to Martin French and ditdrama@gmail.com. DIT also need cast lists and a short blurb about each of the plays. Also, Dave, I know you have connections with Miller and we were wondering if there's any chance that you could arrange for them to hold a drinks promotion in the 'Cat & Cage' on the night of the awards ceremony. It wouldn't be officially associated with the festival of course but we've been promised the 'Cat & Cage' for free, provided that we can fill it, and we reckon that a drinks promotion of some kind might entice a couple of extra people to come along. We have been lumped with the responsablity of organising the four principal awards for the festival (Best Production, Best Director, Best Actor & Best 'Vibes'). Basically, we just need four engraved trophies of a reason size. I know Elaine knows stuff about this, but if anyone else could let me know where we could get a good deal, I'd really appreciate. Another thing, we were considering the possibility of using the DCU Drama Karaoke Machine on the night of the awards. Would this be ok? Mr. d'French assures me that he'd keep it safely locked up in the dungeons of St. Pat's until it's needed. Can that be used to play normal CD's and would it be loud enough to act as the sound system for the first part of the night before all the Karaoke begins? Tickets for students for one night of the festival will be €4 and there will be week long tickets available at a price of €10. If y'all could encourage people at rehearsals, auditions etc. to come along, that'd be really cool. I'd like to actually start collecting money from people so I can get them to commit to coming to the festival. Ok, one last thing. The next scheduled meeting for the festival is set to take place at 2pm on Friday the 18th in the TCD canteen, just to be vindictive or ironic or something. Unfortunately, I'm working that day and won't be able to make the meeting. If somebody else was prepared to go along, that'd be like so totally awesome. Lemme know. Jebus, that e-mails almost long enough to be worthy of Bob's sentbox. Hope ye're well, Joey Kavanagh, Matlabourer P.S. If any of ye want to check out the minutes from these meetings, Martin generally sends them to the drama e-mail account a couple of days after the meetings.
