Katie and I did have a short chat about what she still needed help with and what we still need help with overall.
For those who do not have a tax ID yet:

Aaron and I are will need to go full bore on cranking out the front of the tent and siege battle targets for the next two weeks, and will definitely appreciate help in making this stuff happen.
We also need help cranking out mini catapults for the event. For those interested, please coordinate with Ethan Doak via DM or email to get the files and start cutting out the parts on the lasers.
Thank you to the people that are stepping up and helping out to prepare for the renaissance festival!
All the parts are made and have a base coat on them for the siege battle targets! We still need to paint them in colors to match MakeICT (per the wiki: Pantone Cool Grey 7, Pantone Cool Grey 11, Pantone Warm Red), as well as the Royal Court (red and gold). The goal is to have the lightest color painted on the targets tomorrow, but I’m open to ideas on how to incorporate the Pantone Cool Grey 11 and Pantone Warm Red into something that looks like a shield/corn hole target.
We have all the materials for the tent facade. We will be making a heavy push on Tuesday to get the major structure done and start carving up the stones. Wednesday should be finishing up the carving and starting of painting.
16 of the mini catapults have been made so far. It sounds like Ethan, LaDeana, and Malissa will have a laser cutting party sometime this week for those that want to help out. The catapults tend to disappear pretty quick during the weekend. We have plenty of material, we just need some bodies to hit the ‘go’ button and watch the machines.
Since so much is going on, we’ll have a short meeting Tuesday (probably either in the woodshop or room 4) to discuss how and what we need done still for the weekend as well as answer any questions vendors may still have. We’ll also discuss who will be at the event when (the most people needed are during setup Friday and tear down Sunday).
