More info. - 2005-02-07 10:12:45 as a semi-irregular commentator here, i thought i'd add that i will be in attendance, waxing historicitically, so if any of you were interested in either meeting me or beating me up, you can do so for only $50! * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 12:10:31 Wow--that's cool! I bet you'd be an outstanding speaker. That will be the high point of the evening. Is there a special topic for your history talk?* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2005-02-07 12:33:29 I won't be giving any sort of official presentation to the group as a whole, just mingling and providing a bit of the historic angle to the attendees via that informal method. The bands, dancing, and live/silent auctions will obviously be the 'centerpiece' of the event. Maybe by the next gala i'll have collected enough information to warrant a full-blown interpretation. I'm already looking forward to the possibility of conducting Freighthouse tours once the needed repairs are made. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 12:45:36That would be the high point to me, I meant. I like music and dancing (although not swing dancing) OK but would be more interested in learning the freighthouse's history. Tours would be very interesting, too, eventually.* * * * * * * * * * * * Brett - 2005-02-07 14:19:13 well, first things first. This event has required a huge amount of work to pull off, so everyone involved is trying to stay focused on making it work. Once it's over, hopefully there will be more cash in the coffer to work with, and I think everyone has ideas for different future projects that we will start implementing - After the Preservation Ball. BTW, I am not the dancing sort either, but dancing will certainly not be compulsory and i understand there will be plenty of folks on hand that actually know what they're doing with their feet, so you're welcome to just stand back and watch. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 14:21:54I am glad dancing is not compulsory. Also glad that the revitalizing of the F-house might be the vehicle to allow local history recreators to once again serve as such--very cool.* * * * * * * * * * * * Mark Maynard - 2005-02-07 15:38:47 Having met Brett on a few occasions, I can assure you that the experience is well worth the $50. (And, it's acutally worth much more if he's been drinking.)* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 15:47:18 That's a good recommendation, Mark. I remember the pictures of the historical-recreation work Brett did in the past that he posted here--they were awesome. You could tell these were very good recreators passionately into their work. I wish I could have seen those productions.* * * * * * * * * * * * brett - 2005-02-07 15:59:19 I will certainly let the P.R. committee know that the citizenry of Ypsilant is clamoring for my inebriation. Possibly they can designate a special emergency fund dedicated to my bar tab. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-07 16:02:08Yes, this ties into the heavy-alcohol-use-common-in-early-Washtenaw-County thread from some days past--one must strive for accuracy, after all.* * * * * * * * * * * * todd - 2005-02-08 23:42:42 please save the freighthouse. i would like to have my wedding reception there. okay thanks.* * * * * * * * * * * * Bethany - 2005-02-09 23:18:13 Thanks Todd I look forward to re-opening the doors so you can have your reception there too!!!* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2005-02-10 08:59:07 Best place ever for a wedding reception. Also, Bethany, congratulations on getting your picture in the paper! Front page!
