Q:: Has the Fires changed SCALE in resceduling or any other Manner ?
by Harvey Rothenberg 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

To Whom It May Concern, I have selected this message address in-order to address this concern of mine since the event of the Palisades Fires. Are you still on schedule to have your Event, to happen, as it has in your past ? I will be traveling from Ohio in-order to attend and I wanted to make sure that it will still be worth the trip. I hope that you can understand why I am asking this information. I noticed that your event is also part of 12 other happenings. Are these all part of the same Main event - or - individual events at a common location ? I hope to be able to find reasonable costing flights in-order to be able to attend within this coming week, but my decision will be influenced by your information. So please respond quickly. I thank you for your attention to my message. I look forward to your response ! Sincerely, Harvey Rothenberg SysAdmin in IT “Science without religion is lame.

The Arts team needs help
by Josh Andler 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hey All, We are looking to try something a little different this year. We need some help with a little brainstorming and making small decorative displays to place around the venue. So, art projects/displays to liven up the venue a little more. Digital art is historically our focus, so we could use some help from people who enjoy working in traditional "get your hands dirty" mediums. My guess is the relevant skill set would be crafting experience and this is probably akin to stage/scene dressing or making props. If it works out, maybe we expand these efforts in other ways moving forward. If you've seen any of the artwork this year featuring the "building together" theme, you may have noticed a familiar style of block that makes up most of the scenes. I'm seeking help to build some of those large prop blocks/bricks (sorry, not using the L word). The current thought is to have a few different displays consisting of a few large blocks in front of a large graphic of Troy building with blocks (at a few high traffic/visibility places around the venue). Something to give the art more depth and help the space feel less bare. First, I will solicit ideas for any better materials suggestions than my proposal of: Cardboard (box structure), wide cardboard(?) tubes or some other inexpensive cylinders (the "pegs"), and a few different rolls of wrapping paper (solid coloring), and glue/tape as needed. As you might have guessed, I am hoping it's possible to make reasonably easy, inexpensive, and hopefully decent looking blocks. Second, I would never turn down help with actually producing these on-site either. I'm thinking a dozen or so total (so nothing crazy). The thought is that if this can be done reasonably well this year and seems to work, it's something I would like to see expanded with more planning and forethought moving forward. Either way, we'll see if others are interested. Thoughts, feedback, offers, whatever... all welcome. :) Note: My biggest concern is obviously that people will move/handle/mistreat them and they're not intended to be "functional" (nor durable). Clearly my design proposal means they'll get trashed pretty easily. Maybe having a few backups available is a good idea. They're basically going to be more like temporary sculpture, so limiting them to just a few places probably reduces that risk to some degree. I'm game for thoughts surrounding this issue too. Cheers, Josh
