Entry d5: A Confirmation

Well today I got back from school and checked my inbox on Yahoo to find this message from my TAG instructor:

   "Please don't let the due date stop you! I will allow you the weekend after the 8th for you to follow through with this great idea!"
                                               Mr. Haskey

This means I will be able to hold my event on a Saturday. I am super excited for this, and now that I have confirmation on the date; I can really start on the finer details and the hard work that will allow this project to be the best that it can be. Yet I'm a little afraid of the next couple steps that I have to follow after I relay this information to Kathy the woman at the public library. 

First I have to find volunteers to help me run games as well as people who are familiar with the game to sit among the ones that are new to the game. Many of these volunteers will probably be the guys who play with me every Wednesday. I also have to start putting together an agenda for the event. I do look forward to making the fliers for it, as I really like doing things like that. Theres a bit more to do as well, but for now I'll just keep my mind focused on what I can do within the next couple days. Well I'm off to get started!

I need to figure out a name for this whole event. If you have any ideas feel free to recommend them by commenting.

Entry d4: A Doomsday Dilemma

   Well today was like winning a free cruise... then finding out the cruise ship's name is the Titanic. Okay maybe it wasn't quite that dramatic, but in line of furthering my project; I have good and bad news. 

    Today I spoke with a woman named Kathy, she is the Sr. Library Assistant at the downtown Saint Joseph public library, about using the library as a venue. She actually was really fond of the idea and readily accepted the idea. I was so excited when I heard that she would in fact be willing to sponsor my event at the library. So I now have a venue! I now have step two done, but I bet your wondering why I am describing the S.S Awesome, when previously I stated the Titanic... well theres was one catch. 

    I have solved the answer to "where" but not the "when!" See the issue is that I really want to hold this event on a week-end. As the library is open on Saturdays 9;00am till 5;00pm, this is perfect for my event. The only problem; Available Saturdays... this coming one, and Saturday, October 9th. The project due date is October 8th. Thus I had to email my Tag teacher Mr. Haskey about perhaps allowing me one more day of wiggle room. I really want to do it on a Saturday as this gives me a full day to set up my event and a plentiful time frame to allow for the participants to learn the basics of the game.

   My other options are that I can hold this event any Tuesday between now and then, but I fear if its on a weekday my turnout will be lessened. Plus the library is only open till 9:00pm... which is a bit late running for a school night event. So I'm in a bit of a doomsday dilemma here. 

    No matter I guess, I got good news and bad news today. The important thing is that Kathy the super nice Sr. Library Assistant is allowing me to run this event in the first place, and no matter the date I'm sure it will be a great time for all involved. Also worst comes to worst... I think that if I can I may run a session on a Tuesday for my project and then continue it outside of the TAG project on a Saturday after the deadline should Haskey reject my plea.
