Seems a really good guy that Tom Hanks. I hope to meet him one day.
Right then, so most of you know I struggle with brevity in the team emails. I sorta hope that one day I can just send subject line: Tom Hanks and on the inside you’ll find a date and venue… to which everyone will reply with various punctuation, and likely profanity. But this is an active planning email there’s gotta be details! I put this together to avoid having meetings to plan meetings because we’re all busy people and when we get together it should be for good stuff, not spreadsheets - this month there is a LOT of information to give you, and I can not stress this enough, I don’t want to write all of this! So please don’t let it be in vain. These words are for you.
1.The regular September event will be announced next week. You’ll see below the speaker is ____. because I spent three weeks playing this point and click soccer game, and now I’m out of time. It’s actually REALLY hard to book speakers and I have heard lots of NO/Silence on this particular theme for the last several months. I know I’ve been doing CM for 5 years now but still every time there’s a yes from somebody I’m a fan of it shoots a jolt of electricity to my dimples. That said, It’s a lot easier to plan CM when the speaker introductions are personal and I can deal with crushing rejection, or silence, a bit less. I have a sequence of back-ups I’m going through now, which are all also awesome people. Something good coming soon - the theme is MUSE and if you wanna weigh in you can, just shoot me a note/text etc. I’ll likely say yes. Working on my own yes game.
This leads me to…
2. NOMINATION NIGHT This is so many things all at once. I won’t type them out here. If you want to see the Lush & Lovely venue and hear me jabber about it there’s a little over-compressed video attached. I’d rather this didn’t go beyond this internal team. There’s also an invitation here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/appletinis-our-robot-future-meeting-internet-crush-tom-fox/?published=t This I do want to go beyond our team. Please share with anyone you’d like to bring/be at the CreativeMornings cocktail party, the evening of October 10th. I really hope all of you can be there, unfortunately, there are about 70 people on our “volunteer/partners” team and I can’t afford an open bar for everyone. The art show is awesome, there’s a couple of spots that have been fluxing, I’ll lock that up soon. If you want to weigh in there just shoot me a note!
If you’re participating in the event (i.e. Artists, Music, Venue, Food, Cocktails) please register, I still want to track headcount but use the code: SUPERJACKPOT. For our regular volunteers, Unless you really really can’t afford it please register a regular ticket. It’s most important to me that you’re there to participate in Nom Night. This is an honor system, and if that code goes crazy out of hand and I don’t even recognize names I’ll have to shut it down, but I really don’t expect that.
Registration is at Nomnight.eventbrite.com
3. There’s a new graphic I created for postcards, flyers, print ads, event banners made from 5 years of theme illustrations, bits of designs created all over the world. It’s attached here (scroll to bottom). I’m including it now because I like it and just want to share.
I will be departing for 5 days, starting in just a couple of hours. I'll be remote walking around the Canadian Rockies to see what’s what, but you can probably reach me by text/email. I almost guarantee I’ll post some nice 4k drone footage on my Instagram, follow there to watch me fall down a mountain.
To the life that's worth living, see you soon
