NAC begins preparing for NMF

Last week was a bit of getting stuff organized for the Norman Music Festival. Bands have been dropping of demos for the festival so I've been sorting them out by making a spreadsheet of the soundtrack, the band name, contact information, and e-mail. So far I've done 24, but we'll see how much more come in. This part of the festival is for picking a couple local bands that aren't in the "actual" festival, and getting their names out there by providing them some playing time. It's pretty neat seeing all these local bands and the talent that aren't even known yet. Who knows, maybe I just met the new Radiohead.

We also had a meeting with Sonder music company to talk about the responsibilities Amanda and I will be in charge of at NMF. We are mainly in charge of the kids stage. Face painting, fake tattoos, drawings, and even a science fair will be over at the kids stage. Amanda and I have to find volunteers, tables, chairs, and donations for the booths. I'll be stopping by Sams, Target and Ed Copeland's for art supplies and food donations within these next couple of weeks. Ed Copeland's should be exciting because we'll have to provide open arts and crafts, papers and markers, and stickers for the kids. Sams is donating up to 100$ for snacks and water while Target will fill up the rest of the missing pieces. I'll also need to check in with Party Galary to pick up some booth decorations for the kids.

Amanda and I will need to set up 10-15 tables and 30 chairs. Should be exciting...The shifts for the volunteers will be about two hours each, while of course Amanda and I will have to stay until 8 PM. Long, but eventful day...

My duties last week was the spreadsheet, and tweets for upcoming events for NAC. The Medieval Fair was last weekend so I was in charge of the facebook updates and tweets to advertise what was going on. For this week, Sonder just e-mailed me with some updates of the kids stage. We already have all the volunteers, and food donations, so I'll just be finishing up on the donations of the table and chairs.

Hours last week: Mon 9-10, Wed 9-10, 12-1:30 and Friday 1-5

Until next time...
