Week 9: Spring Semester

Last week was Spring Break so I didn't make a post. I see after reading my fellow classmates blogs that I should have for the previous week. I apologize but I will move forward from here and speak of what I have done over the break! I was excited for all of the fun party planning (especially decorations) for the after party. I really wanted to stay more on a space/galaxy theme for the party rather than just icons of famous aliens or sci-fi characters. With that in mind, looking for decorations was challenging but fun. One of the my favorite finds is the Kaleidoscope light projector that I found on Spencer's Online. It is a fairly small and inexpensive light that creates out of this world colorful light design on walls. I think it will be perfect for the after party. Upon inquiring about bands/performers for the night, I asked the class as well as my contacts in the concert committee of ACE. Both contacts offered me a few names, which led me to my top choice: The Smoothrays. I have contacted them to see if they are interested in performing but since they are also UNCW students, they may take a little after Spring Break to respond. I also met a local band called UNITY who I checked out online. They are very eager to play events in Wilmington, which is great for us to work with. Due to Hell's Kitchen being free, they want us to purchase some food for the party from them in order to make something out of it. I have been working with the manager Kelsey on details about the after party and she has been helpful.
