I.  Come to the show!!
As you may or may not have seen in an earlier e-mail ; )    I am having a 
multimedia show on March 8th 2003 (that a week from this coming Saturday) 
from 4-7 PM at Augustana Lutheran Church in Hyde Park (5500 S. Woodlawn 
Avenue).  It's a gift to you and the world for my 40th birthday, consisting 
of art, photography, installation, and performances of writing and original 
music.

An electronic invitation (with pictures and prose and further details) and 
directions are available at
www.jewellgems.com/multimedia/

It's a pdf file you can download--I'm still working on the HTML page.

Join us, and PLEASE RSVP!  You may come without an RSVP, but the food may 
run out if you don't RSVP.  Guests are welcome, as are kids.

II.  HELP!!
Your skipper needs YOU!   I'm realizing the truth of the mantra "You can do 
anything, but you can't do everything"  -- in life as well as on the 
boat.  If you can help in any of the following ways, BODIES or STUFF 
*please let me know*  so we can coordinate someone else may follow up with 
you on this!

BODIES--
1.  Set up crew/rehearsal party -- Friday March 7th, 6:30 pm -- 8:30 (this 
is my actual birthday)

2.  Pre Show set up -- 2 -- 4 pm, Saturday, March 8th

3.  During the show shifts/special jobs
--watch the food and drink table--keep it relatively neat, remove empty 
bottles, etc
--greet and orient people (a couple of people from the church can help 
orient you to orient),
--run a slide projector following a script
--retune a guitar after performances
--provide security (watch the front door.  This is backup to security we're 
working on acquiring)
--take photographs (digital or film)
--shoot video (ditto)
--walk around as a roving reporter with a tape recording device to capture 
audio comments (we're having "official" sound--this is more "snapshot" sound)
--draw, paint, write, sing, sculpt, cut & paste whatever at the multiYOUdia 
installation (this is the multimedia "guestbook" that I'd love people to 
play with)
--help the sound tech (he/she's in charge, but may need extra ears and hands)

4. Strike the show, clean up (it has to be back to normal for worship on 
Sunday) get stuff back to my apartment (1/2 block away)

5.  Emotional Support and brain extension--before and during the show!

STUFF
--supplementary appetizers (we do have a caterer but we could use a little 
more help)
--bottle of pop/soda or wine
--music stands
--easels
--disposable flash cameras (for the multiYOUdia installation)
--extension cords (25 - 50 foot)
--power strips--surge protectors like for computers (loan)

--laptop computer (loan--you'd probably want to stay by that, too!)
--8 channel mixer (this is backup in case the current plans fall through)

--DA38, DA88, or ADAT multitrack recorder (this is backup in case the
