Title: Call for Volunteers: PPS Backdrop Construction
Post by: Cheetah on 07.07.2016, 21:46:43
Hello everybody!

As every year, we are going to produce our pawpetshow backdrops in one big group effort, since we only have one weekend to finish them :) That means, we need all the helpers we can get - tinkerers, painters, artists - if you can use a paint brush, jigsaw or screwdriver, you can help!

Typical jobs we have is: Priming panels with background colors, cutting out shapes, joining backdrop and prop parts, installing reinforcements, cutting out windows and adding door hinges ... there is plenty of stuff do. Our talented lead artists will tell you what exactly you have to do. And if you are an artist yourself, the better, because we also need people who are able to instruct the helpers.

Usually it's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun :) Do you want to volunteer? Just reply to this thread.

The workshop is going to take place

SATURDAY - 06-August-2016
SUNDAY - 07-August-2016


The full address of the workshop is:

Bannemer Feld 18A
46569 Huenxe
Northrhine-Westphalia
Germany


We can arrange sleeping space in the area, if that's necessary. Please reply in this thread if you want to volunteer, so I can plan ahead and provide food and drinks, and stuff :)

Mendra + Zefiro

we'll bring 60 meters of hopefully printed paper and spray glue :)

We'd also like to ask for sleeping spaces SAT -> SUN (Cheetah?)

Who is organising on-site, i.e. having the list what needs to be done, grouping people and instructing them? (Reesa? Cheetah?)

*purrrr*

Dear volunteers,

Some tasks require a cordless screwdriver. In case you have one at home, please take it with you! Thanks!

See you soon!

Okay, so here is the plan for Saturday and Sunday:

We are going to meet at 11h in Hünxe.

- THERE WILL BE BREAKFAST FOR EVERYONE :)
- WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BBQ SATURDAY EVENING :)

If you have tools you can bring (cordless drills, saws, etc...) that would be very helpful :)

The plan for tomorrow (Friday), mostly interesting for everyone who sleeps at my place:

I am going to pick up the rental van roughly at 16:00, and then I am going to go shopping at the home improvement store getting paint, paint rollers, brushes, and so on. Then I am going to go home, and wait for Jaryic to come home from work ... since he is doing IT installation services, it is a bit unpredictable when that will be. During that time, Hurga will come to my place and work on the arcade machine that happens to be in my living room :) As soon as jaryic is available, I am going to drive the van to Mülheim to the EF storage, and we will load EVERYTHING pawpetshow related into the van. Meanwhile hurga will stay at my place so there will someone to open the door while I am away :)

Edit: In case of problems, please give me a call: 0163-5000-002

I'd like to bring two more people, Jackwolf and Jinroh, also if that's fine with you,  our two dogs.

Is that ok?

The dogs are okay as long as the obey you. There are some semi-wild cats around our compound and I'd hate them being chased. Else dogs are certainly not an issue.

Thanks for this day, it was tons of fun to work with you and learn to know so many new faces, some I even still remember the names of x) Next year I'll try to help out for both days.

Good luck for today and lots of fun at ef!
