[9:31pm] Bluestreak: Reached out to Chance [9:31pm] jokeefe: program - http://digitalmediaconference.org/2013/program [9:31pm] Bluestreak: Get some politically relevant rap [9:32pm] Kendra: Angie and Sarah have fallen off the radar since last weekend. I am still trying to get a hold of the manager over at Industry Labs and looking at some other spots. It might be there or E5 (which is very small) Or maybe somewhere else. [9:32pm] Kendra: Open to suggestions at this point. [9:32pm] Igel: thanks /me pass it on [9:32pm] Bluestreak: How samll is very small? [9:32pm] Bluestreak: e5 is a good lcation [9:32pm] jokeefe: e5 too small? [9:32pm] Bluestreak: What will our cover be? [9:33pm] Kendra: I think you can have a decent event if people are coming and going. It's not like it's a keg party. [9:33pm] Bluestreak: 10 bucks donation? [9:33pm] Kendra: I would suggest a sliding scale of 10-20 [9:33pm] Bluestreak: Can we serve alcohol at e5? [9:33pm] Bluestreak: What is the scope of this event? [9:34pm] jokeefe: party [9:34pm] jokeefe: costume [9:34pm] Igel: Ahh [9:34pm] Kendra: Yes, no problem, which is why it is preferable. The people at Industry Labs were a little uptight last week and the space is not right on the SUbway line. E5 is much easier to get I imagine. [9:34pm] Igel: In somerville Kendra ? [9:34pm] Bluestreak: Sprouts? [9:34pm] Bluestreak: Very halloween party vibe there [9:34pm] Bluestreak: with the courtyard [9:34pm] jokeefe: true [9:35pm] jokeefe: will ask [9:35pm] Bluestreak: OK well tick tock [9:35pm] Kendra: E5 is at Park Street next to the Orpheum. Industry Labs are in Inman SQ in Cambridge. I live in Arlington and I like Sprouts, we could deck it out. [9:35pm] Bluestreak: very last minute [9:35pm] Bluestreak: ppl laready have plans [9:35pm] Bluestreak: I like Sprouts [9:35pm] Bluestreak: Parking [9:35pm] Kendra: People already have Halloween nailed down? [9:35pm] Bluestreak: better than e5 parking [9:35pm] Bluestreak: This time of year? toads [9:35pm] Kendra: Probably can fit more people and have more fun at Sprouts. [9:36pm] Bluestreak: Agreed [9:36pm] jokeefe: what day? [9:36pm] Kendra: Is it expensive to get SProuts? Do they charge a lot? [9:36pm] Bluestreak: Good question [9:36pm] Bluestreak: Halloween proper is... [9:36pm] Bluestreak: A Thurs [9:36pm] jokeefe: not expensive, but the down stairs has machine tools [9:36pm] Kendra: Halloween is on a Thursday, so the weekend before or after Friday or Saturday might work. [9:37pm] Bluestreak: AFTER [9:37pm] Kendra: No one will care if there are music and drinks. [9:37pm] Bluestreak: }less likely to have ppl booked already [9:37pm] Kendra: I vote Sprouts first, E5 Second, Industry labs 3rd. [9:37pm] Bluestreak: FYI 11/5 is million mask march [9:38pm] Bluestreak: 2nd K [9:38pm] Bluestreak: Jamie did you say you will look into Sprouts? [9:38pm] Bluestreak: Or are you delegating?
