Performance Notes
We have a 40x40' space in a large hall in Moscone West. It will be a pretty loud party with a DJ and arcade games in attendance.
4 driving orbs + 1 on a stand (or more if they are running) to be delivered to the Moscone West Loading Dock on Howard betw 4th & 5th, before the Continental Hotel
Geek talk should happen around the standing orb, get a command prompt, drive via wifi etc...
Orbs arrive at 5pm. Show from 6:30-10:30. We're out by 11pm.
Dinner will be provided onsite at Moscone Center.
Lee is the primary contact with the onsite event coordinator, who is Neha Patel of Sparks Online. Jesse is also heading things up.
Other Notes
We will have new sound programs for the event
We need some movement choreography for the event. Simple stuff like "follow the leader" and "surround the geek and blast music at him/her." Perhaps the hokey-pokey, red rover ("all things spherical, come ooovveerrrr!!"), or jump rope?
