PrologueTeam chat: Renaissance Frolicke, Six Months Before Opening

Aja: I know we’ve kept Courtly Splendor and Dragon’s Forge on opposite sides of the site because they’re our two highest-rated vendors, yadda yadda, but I can’t take the pining anymore

Felice: OMG so much pining

Roger: So. Much.

Mark: if we put them on the same side there’ll be a never-ending traffic jam

Felice: how about in the middle?

Mark: whut

Felice: behind the main stage, side by side

Aja: ooh yeah give people something to browse while they’re waiting for the next show

Roger: could people use the stage’s dressing area to try s**t on?

Mark: favoritism guys

Aja: revenue ‘guys,’ also ‘guys’ is an exclusionary term

Mark: ‘people’

Felice: don’t be a dick

Roger: it wouldn’t kill us to shake up the layout. If CS and DF are both at center site, those spots on the outer ring open up for games or food vendors

Aja: good point!

Felice: and if being jammed up against each other doesn’t solve the situation, we can always split them up again next year

Mark: for all we know they enjoy the pining

Roger: Hahahaha

Mark: if anyone catches them f*****g in the dressing area, you’re all in big trouble

Team chat: Renaissance Frolicke, Three Months Before Opening

Mark: the quote for moving the main stage [link]

Roger: holy shit

Felice: eeek

Aja: good thing we use straw bales instead of an actual fence

Mark: [frowny face]

Roger: we can afford it though right?

Mark: yes

Mark: fire department said ‘this is better’

Felice: even though it’s farther from main entrance??

Mark: that’s what I said

Roger: oh because of truck access each side of bleachers?

Mark: they like those gaps if we ever have to move people out the back

Aja: cross fingers

Aja: thx for handling, Mark [smiley face]

Felice: can’t wait to see what happens!!

Roger: LOL

Team chat: Renaissance Frolicke, One Month Before Opening

Roger: thoughts on yesterday’s site visit?

Felice: I love the way it smells when the straw bales are fresh

Aja: yessss

Felice: also the new pergolas for the picnic stages are really pretty

Roger: thanks!

Felice: [smiley face]

Mark: I think the shade sails should be counted in acreage now not square footage

Aja: those things are literally life savers. Also: main stage area rocks!

Mark: thanks, was a ton of work but I like how everything funnels up that way now. All our vendors confirmed?

Aja: yep! Packages went out!

Roger: water & sanitation are locked. Still a few entertainers to confirm

Felice: volunteers have all been referred for their costume. Medics are booked

Mark: great work, team!
