Nov. 27, 2010.....

I haven't gotten all that much done in the last few days on my project, but that's not a bad thing because I'm nearly done!! 

Marketing:  I spent several hours on Thanksgiving spamming the daylights out of every event calendar site in the region to market the event.  I wanted to ensure that come Friday morning when people showed up to work to review the calendar entries, ours were ready to be reviewed.  The postcards were ordered on Thursday for the same reason.  If this event pulls in an audience that is more than the student's mommies, daddies & BFFs it will be a miracle though.  :)   I wish we could have started marketing two months ago like we should have but the school is still trying to figure out how to deal with the whole "senior festival" thing so I suppose I have to chalk that up to 'growing pains.'  Today I submitted the event to a few TV stations.  I checked the Pink Line Project website and saw that The Last Sin was finally approved and is showing up so it evidently takes about a week for a submission to be approved.  I submitted Liminal on Thursday so hopefully it will be up on Monday.  Fingers crossed on getting it that little pink seal of approval (a girl can hope right?). 

USB-NA:  I'm onto the polishing & resin stages but don't have any new pics.  Here's a pic of what it looked like just before I started that. 

I had a small issue with one coat of resin which didn't cure properly. Unfortunately I didn't realize the issue with the resin before I started the polishing so I ended up with stuff stuck in the resin.  Long story short I ended up grind down some of the resin and start from scratch.  Errrr....   But not too serious of an issue as I have plenty of time.  I have a new layer of chalk dry which I'm going to paint in a minute.  Once that's dry I'm going to pour the resin (this time I'm sticking to one brand on resin).  I also have to finish the pedestal for this yet as well. 

Apples:  All five of the apples are officially finished!  If time permits I'll finish re-encoding the hidden videos inside the copper apple.

Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil:  Done! 

Heaven Doth Protest & Hell Responds (digital prints):  Awaiting return form the printers and then off to get framed! 

Slide shows for the tree:  Basically done!  I say basically because mankind has a LOT of sin under its belt so I can always expand the sin slide show.  As time permits, and as I have time and grill more educated people, I expand the salvation and "end time statistics"  slide shows as well. 

Satellite Dishes:  The dishes are painted.  The poles are painted.  The computer cases are cleaned, now I just have to figure out how to to mount them.  My husband has devised a plan but its damn cold out today so we may wait until Monday as its supposed to be a bit warmer. 

Thank You Gifts:  Everything has been ordered!  I received some of items, the rest should be here Monday. 

Reception Details:  I bought my sign-in book last night.  I had to run out on Black Friday to pick up my glass, buy resin & polishing bits for my Dremel so I figured I'd stop at Borders and check out their selection of blank books.  I found the perfect one to use a sign-in book!  I also think I'll have time to bake little apple cake-poppers treats too!  I love it when a plan comes together!!
