Madison Motorshow Prep.

[G.Irish]

Continuing this discussing from the old forum...

I spoke with Events and Conferences and they are going to contact Matt Purdy with parking services regarding the lot situation. The plan is to register this event as a University sponsored event, so the lot we choose can be completely blocked off. These individuals are working hard for us, so I will update this situation asap.

Awesome work! I hope this works out in our favor

On another note, does anyone have access to a generator (or 2), folding tables, TV and playstation for GT3/F355 games, and racing or best motoring videos. We also need a pickup to transport this stuff. I would really like someone to assist in the setting up and running of games and videos. The club has a tent we can use for this but if anyone has access to an extra tent that would help even more.

Last year we rented the table and generator from an equipment rental place in Harrisonburg (on Main Street down near the auto mile). We can also probably get tables and chairs from Events and Conferences. This year we'll need a bigger generator most likely.

For the DJ, I have a friend who would be willing to use his speaker and stereo equipment for a reasonable price. ASA sorority has paid him $200 to use his stereo and speakers and to be a DJ for their semi-formals. Is this price higher than a "normal" DJ? This way we can play any music we want. How does this sound??

$200 sounds fairly reasonable assuming we can fit it in the budget. We should try to put together a budget that has the bare essentials then try to see what extra stuff we can swing.

Other entertainment at the show could be Moon Bounce, Mechanical Bull Ride, Air Ride, Pocket Bike/Karting Demos.

For the air bounce games, bull ride, etc. you'll probably have to search the yellow pages in Nova/DC Metro, Richmond, and probably online to get a good cross section of pricing. I can initiate things on the karters and maybe someone who is into bikes can holla at the pocket bikers.
