Project: TRIP OUT THE SWEET! aug 4th

Current project in the works is the show/party/experience at the Paul Sweet on August 4th.

Wubakia (adam's band) wants to play for a decent amount of time, I've talked to a couple in the Byron Space Circus and they are going to talk about it at their band practice tonight. I think theres going to be one more band that wants to play for like and hour. If eveything comes together it should be a full night of spacey music.

Adam sounds like he's got everything under control in terms of the sound equipment, mics, PA, etc etc.

OUR TASK: is basically to come up with ways to make the Paul Sweet as trippy as possible.

-It has been requested that the library be used as a "chill room" that needs the usual stuff of pillows tapestries, blacklights or other colored lights, wierd taxidermied elk, and things of the like.

-I think the VJ crew should work super hard at providing the ambience for the Big Room. I talked to Chanda today and got approval to use her projector in addition to our own one. Wubakia also says that they have a camera and want to film the party. This camera also has a firewire port that we can run into ArKaos potentially. The band also wants us to sample some footage of 'Shaft' and the show 'C.O.P.S.', I'm all about it.

-One thing that I would really like to get done on the visuals side of things is get as much footage as we can of slow moving stars and cosmos. Not many shots with overbearing planets in the shot but mostly stuff that we can project off of mirrors and try and cover the walls with. Maybe shots of landscapes and trees, I'm not sure, just anything that could potentially make people feel like "Whoa... I'm in a different place all of a sudden" as opposed to "whoa, I'm watching a screen right now"

-Artwork: this area's really open to contribution but I was thinking anything from Garden sculptures to wierd artwork in the hallways to fabric and tapestries hanging from as many walls as we can cover.

any ideas?

also, adam mentioned something that some of my other housemates brought up which is like an arts and crafts area or just art happening there, live, at the event. Clay? hot glue... im not sure . Erika said she would want to do body painting and stuff. It could all be fun, i just don't have too many ideas about that right now.

-**Colored Lights** ain't gonna be no trippiness without those.
